"i'm sorry guys i can't." he said in a low groggy voice that showed us how poorly he was feeling. we nod and start to talk about solutions.
"we can't cancel." jack stated. i nod in agreement as we sat in silence singing.
"what if we just took turns singing daniels parts." corbyn preposed.
"even though we probably know it, it could get too confusing." jack answered. we all nod and keep thinking. suddenly it hits me.
"what if megan sang for daniel." i say.
•megan•
they all look at me like i'm their only hope at pulling this show off.
"i mean if you guys want." i say shyly. they all smile and nod.
"she's really good man. she's been singing to me the whole time." daniel said slowly with a smile. i immediately pull panic onto my face.
"you where awake the whole time?!" i semi yell.
"no but i could still hear you for most of it." he says proudly. the boys laugh as they start to tell me everything i need to pull this off.
once i had all the knowledge i needed we said goodbye to daniel. alex agreed to stay with him, even if she misses the concert. we walked down the long hallway as jack led the way to the right wing of the stage. i could see all of the blurry faces staring at the blank stage.
"i don't know about this." i say to jonah shaking.
"you'll do amazing." he promised as he set his hand on my shoulder. i suddenly felt calm. i can do this.
we walked out in the following order: corbyn, jack, zach, jonah, then myself. everyone's faces turn from excited when the boys started out to confused when i walked out. i watched everyone's eyes search for their beloved daniel seavey. some eyes were sad or mad, but mostly confused. the boys announce themselves as normal and then it was me. i take a deep breath and look over at jonah who smiled brightly at me. i smile back and start.
"hey guys. i'm megan. i'll be filling in for daniel tonight for he is too sick. i'm sorry i'm not him but i hope you guys enjoy anyways!" i look back to jonah who gives me a small thumbs up. the lights go dark and jonah points to daniels large light. i nod and stand in front of it. i look back at him and he mouths "taking you". i nod and think in my head. it's gonna be a little hard not to sing the whole song like i always do. of course i know who's part is who's so i'll be fine. i hope the fans like me. the music starts as the light behind corbyn flashes on. he starts singing when realize what's actually happening. corbyn finishes his part and the light behind zach flashes while corbyns fades and he walks back to the back of the stage. jack after zach with fading and illuminating lights. jonah says a quick "you're the view" before nodding at me. i take a deep breath as the light behind me flashes on.
"i only say it cause i really mean it. i ain't afraid of how you got me feelin" i sing with my whole heart. the boys jump in and i look to jonah during the song. he smiles at me the whole time with an emotion i couldn't fathom stuck in his eyes.
we finish "taking you" and i wasn't nervous anymore, like at all. the fans seemed to like me, which made me happy. the boys gave me the look like "you did amazing" and i smile while blushing all at once.
the show continues with every cue from jonah. i didn't mess up with any dance moves or steps. after taking you' we sang 'something different', then "these girls', then 'words i didn't say', then 'boomerang', and we finished with 'invitation'. my voice was strong and didn't shake like usual. i had never preformed on stage before and i would never forget this moment. the show was supposed to be over a minute ago after the boys had talked for a bit but jonah started talking again.
"hey guys what's up! so i think we have a little surprise from our special guest tonight. who's ready to hear it!" he finished and his words were followed by the loudest set of screams i've ever heard. i look at jonah nervously. he mouths "just to see you smile". i smile at him while the boys backed up after a quick clap. the music started and so did i.
i sang the last word and stopped. they boys hadn't heard me sing the whole song so when i looked back at them their mouths were wide open again. i laugh over the loud claps and yelling. i was already blushing but i think i got more red. i walked off to be greeted by four sets of arms hugging me. i couldn't breathe and i loved it.
i walked the boys back to the dressing room while we all exchanged numbers. we opened the door to find daniel awake but resting and alex siting by him on her phone.
"hey, how are you feeling?" i asked concerned.
"better. you really saved me tonight megan. i couldn't thank you enough." he smiled at me. i returned the smile and sat down with him as the boys sat and pulled up chairs to talk.
"so where do you live?" corbyn asked me.
"here in la with alex." i responded. we continued to talk about everything until it was time to go. soon into the chatting we realized that daniel has dozed off. we laughed and continued to talk quietly.
once everyone had me and alex's numbers and vice versus, i made a group chat. alex took zach, jack, and corbyn outside for air and jonah and i had stayed to wake daniel. after they left i walked over to daniel. i sat next to him and woke him gently.
"danny we're heading out. want us to drop you off somewhere?" he nodded softly and put his hands up. me and jonah laughed as jonah reaches to help him up. we helped him stand as i bend down for him to get on my back. jonah laughed at me and took my clutch.
"wow. strong, smart, and talented." he whispered. we laugh and started to head out after letting their manager know where we were going.
the los angeles concert was the last concert for a couple of weeks for the boys, so me and jonah planned to take daniel to their house. i texted the group chat to tell them to go eat somewhere and meet us back home. jonah drove and i had shotgun while daniel slept in the back seat. me and jonah chatted on the ride home and i learned more about him than i knew before. there's a lot the media doesn't know about the boys' personal lives.
we arrived to their home and i fangirled a bit. i soon snapped out of it and got daniel inside, this time we just helped him walk. jonah set my clutch down in the kitchen when i remembered he had it.
"upstairs to the right by the bathroom." he smiled. i nodded and took daniel to his and jacks shared, impeccably clean, room. i set daniel down in, what i believe is, his bed and tucked him in.
"sing." he murmured softly. with i smile i started "the night we met" by lord huron quietly.
i finished to look down at a sleeping daniel. i kissed his forehead and headed out. i shut the door and turned around to have a near heart attack. jonah was standing right next to me. close enough where i could feel his breath on mine.
