I'm holding on - Noel Gallagher

Chapter 10

Anaïs and I were now stood leaning against the wall, watching Noel and the band soundcheck. We were both taking photos on our cameras and trying to beat the other with the best picture. We were always so competitive, Naï especially, that she even started coughing and putting her hand in front of the camera. I couldn't help but laugh and completely lose my focus.

I found such a good picture of Noel that I really needed to take. I looked through my lens and snapped the photo, only then noticing that Anaïs had got in the way.

"Do that once more and I swear to god Anaïs, I will destroy your favourite camera!" I shouted, joking, I mean I couldn't actually get mad at this girl.

"No not my baby!" She pouted, and then let off a little smirk.

Out of nowhere I heard, "Well hello Anaïs, who's the gorgeous, feisty one?" OH. MY. GOD. It was them. Blossoms. All stood behind us with their cute, handsome smiles.

"Hello to you too Tom, this is Adelaide but call her Addy! She's a huge fan and if it wasn't for her, you wouldn't be on this tour so stop teasing. Well and me so you can thank us now!" Anaïs said proudly. God I wish I had her confidence, I couldn't even look at them.

"Hey Addy! It's nice to meet you and thanks, you really helped us out here, love." TOM OGDEN JUST CALLED ME LOVE.

"I...it's...nice to meet you too. Uh...all of you!" They all smiled.

"You're gonna watch us play tonight, aren't you Addy?" Tom said, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah you have to! We're gonna sound mega tonight!" Joe followed.

"Oh...Yeah course! Wouldn't miss it for the world, I love your songs so much!" I felt a wave of embarrassment as I realised how keen I was sounding and a blush started to appear on my cheeks.

They just chuckled and tom looked at me. "Glad you approve, what's your favourite?"

"Definitely texia! I mean it has to be!" I practically squealed every time I thought about the song. It was my go to for road trips, nights out, dancing like a freak in my room, ANYTHING and EVERYTHING really.

"You know we don't get that a lot, it's normally Charlemagne or honey sweet. You're different, you are. I already know we're gonna get along." Tom smiled and wrapped an arm round me while I looked at Anaïs giving me a wink.

"So tonight, will you both be at the side or will you be front and centre, watching us play and all?"

"At the front obviously! We've got to get some good pics, haven't we Ads?" They all looked over at me when Naï said that.

"Yep! I've got a uni project due and you guys are gonna be my models for the day, I'm afraid to say." I sparked up this courage from out of nowhere and I just felt comfortable.

"I don't mind posing for you, not camera shy at all, are we lads?" Tom stared at them expectedly.

"Well, tom definitely isn't, not sure bout the rest of us but he sure has the ego for the five of us, that's for sure!"Josh stepped in making us all laugh while tom pouted, keeping his arm over my shoulders.

"Hey Ads! Over here for a minute, yeah? Got sommert to ask ya!" Noel shouted, taking off his guitar, midway through soundcheck.

"Yeah sure!" I replied. "I'll be back in a bit guys." I got a couple of "alright"s and went up onto the stage. When I got up Noel wasn't there and I was left confused.

"He's gone backstage, he'll be in his dressing room." I turned to find Charlotte with a smile.

"Oh right, thank you."

I walked backstage and through the corridors until I found the door with 'Noel Gallagher' etched onto it.

I didn't bother knocking and just went straight in. Noel was sat with a beer in his hand and kept his eyes on me as I walked over to the sofa and sat down opposite him.

"What can I help you with mr Gallagher?" I held a bright smile as the words came out of my mouth.

"It was him, wasn't it?" Noel said with no emotion what so ever. I sat confused, trying to read him.

"What are you talking about? Who's he?"

"Tom."

"What about him?"

"He was the guy you were talking about with Anaïs yesterday when I came in, wasn't he?" He was now clearly angry and I had no clue what to say. I'd never been in this position before.

"Well...Yeah He was but that doesn't mean anything."

"It doesn't mean anything. Are you joking? You clearly love him!"

"It's a crush Noel! I'd NEVER act on it! I love YOU!" I was trying to reassure him, surely he knew that I loved him. We'd talked about this.

"NEVER ACT ON IT! YOU WERE ALL OVER HIM!" He stood up and started pacing with his fists clenched.

"HOW WAS I? WE'VE JUST MET, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!" Now I was starting to get angry and all of this was stupid.

"HIS HANDS WERE ALL OVER YOU AND YOU CERTAINLY DIDN'T STOP HIM! YOU WERE ALL SMILES AND FLIRTING!"

"I CANT BELIEVE YOU, ITS CALLED BEING NICE! YOU'RE OVERREACTING AND ITS STUPID!"

"IM BEING STUPID! IF ID LEFT YOU TOGETHER ANY LONGER, YOU WOULD'VE SHAGGED HIM!" Now I stood up, trying to defend myself.

"YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE AND I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU EVEN SAID THAT! DON'T YOU TRUST ME NOEL?"

"NO I DON'T!" I can't believe he didn't trust me, I trusted him. I trusted him enough to put my friendship with Anaïs on the line and I trusted him enough to not string me along while he had his wife. I'm so unbelievably stupid to even think I was important.

"RIGHT WELL I BETTER SHOW YOU HOW UNTRUSTWORTHY I AM! I MIGHT GO FIND TOM AND SHAG HIM LIKE YOU THINK I WOULD! I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE ILL FUCK THE WHOLE BAND!" I walked towards the door.

"DON'T YOU DARE, ADELAIDE!"

I opened the door and slammed it, showing how angry I was at him. I wish I never met him, I hate him for making me fall for him! I stormed through the halls and found an empty room. I slid down the door, making sure no one could come in and cried. I screamed and kicked the floor, trying to forget all about him. But I couldn't get his face out of my mind, I just cried and cried.
