Louder Than Words

Chapter 22

It was show time. I stood in front of about a thousand directioners wearing the same black top i wore today with a light blue jean jacket to cover me up, cheetah printed baggy pants that hugged my hips and my ankles. Accompanied by black combat boots and of course, my hair was down and as big as ever. As for my make up, I had red lipstick, black mascara, eyeliner, and some blush.

Andrea had her hair down but lightly curled, on top she wore a white cropped thank with an infinity sign, and shorts that stopped about 8 inches higher than her knees. She had decided to put her heels on, even though they had been killing her earlier today. But she looked great and I trusted that I did too.

The three hours of rehearsal I got, lucky enough to get any, were ready to be put to use. I felt sick in my lower stomach. Just last week I had convinced my self that I had an amateur voice and now my career depended on it.

"Hi everyone! I'm Andrea and this is Kacey and we are Diamonds. I know your all here to see One Direction but they'll be here soon to see each of you!"

Now it was my turn to talk. I glanced at the crowd quickly and noticed how many beautiful girls there were. All of them were so beautiful and I was so .. eh.

"Hi im Kacey, and I just wanted to say that you girls and guys are all so beautiful, I'm overwhelmed with your beauty. I also wanted to say I came to a 1D concert last year, and I sat all they way up there at the 400's, I couldn't even see them! I had to stare at the big screen the whole time! So don't lose hope because dreams were made to be chased."

This makes the crowd go crazy. Well I guess they liked being called pretty. Who didn't?

"Were going to sing We Are Young by FUN. Sound familiar?" I say

This also makes them applaud and shout out.

"Sing along if you know the words!" Andrea adds

Now our band started playing. Isabella was on the bass guitar, Tyler was on drums, and Jade was on keyboard.

I take a breathe and close my eyes to calm down a little before I start.

Me: 'Give me a second I need to get my story straight. My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the empire state. My lover he is waiting for me just across the bar my seats been taken by some sunglasses asking about a scar. I know I gave it to you months ago, I know your trying to forget. But between the past and sudden things the wholes in my apologies, it's kind of hard to take it back. So if by the time the bar closes and you feel like going home I'll carry you home'

Together: 'Tonighhhhht, we are younnngggg.So let's set the word on fire, we can glow brighter than the sunnnnn. '

Finally looking up at the crowd I see some fans had gotten up from their seats and were singing the words to the song. The ones in the front were going crazy! I had reached my hand out toward a fan that I noticed was crying. I held her hand in mine and tried to cheer her up. While Andrea's part came, I mouthed 'are you ok?' and she just nodded and smiled.

I let go and go back to center stage to sing the chorus.

"Toniighhhhht we are young. So let's set the world on fire we can glow brighter than the sun."

The rest of the performance went great. We had finally gotten everyone in the crowd up and jumping around.

"And now we shall sing Somebody that I used to know!" Andrea says

She would sing the beginning of this song and I sang the part for the girl.

"Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over But had me believing it was always something that I'd done But I don't wanna live that way Reading into every word you say You said that you could let it go And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know"
