Ross POV
We arrived at the venue and immediately had to go to the Q&A. I had to do my vocal warm-ups on stage while the others were answering questions. I couln't focus on anything but that girl. I wasn't being my usualloud self who loves the attention from the fans. My answers were short and said with little emotion. Riker, being the big brother he is, noticed after a few questions and pulled me aside.
"Ross, what's going on man?" After a few seconds and no answers he followed up. "This isn't about the girl, is it?" I tried my best to keep a straight face. I was Ross who moved through girls all the time without a problem. I was a flirt. It was natural, a part of me. I couldn't let him know how hung up I was. But as he stared into my eyes I swallowed hard and he knew I was hiding something. "C'mon, Ross. I know it's hard, but you have to get over it just for the show. Tomorrow we will do everything we can to find that girl."
"Promise?" I said, my voice shaking.
"Promise. Now let's go kill this show!"
Rydel POV
Ross and I were backstage in the dressing room. Riker, Rocky and Ratliff were in another room preparing for the concert. Ross had been staring at the wall for nearly twenty minutes now, I was staring to worry.
"Ross?" I spoke gently. "Are you okay? This isn't liek you to be quiet before a concert. Wanna talk?"
Ross looked over at me as if just realizing I was in the room. "It's just...this girl was so...different. I never want to be away from her."
"I know you feel that way, but there are a lot of fans out there and they're expecting you to put on a loud show! You gotta be pumped. And besides, maybe she'll be out there in the crowd."
"I think she would have said something to me earlier if she were going to my concert. But you're right. I'm gonna go warm up."
Jacqueline POV
We were finally out of the line and into the venue. We had floor seats in the eleventh row, but planned to push through to get closer. Finally, after we joined the crowd in singing "We are Family" at 7:47, Riker, Rocky, Ratliff, Rydel and Ross came running onto the stage, screaming, jumping, loud and crazy. They kicked off their concert with "Cali Girls, " followed by all their other hits. Maura, Brooke and I sang at the top of our lungs and danced all night long. I got so hot and decided to put my hair up in a bun, like I knew I would. Then came on my favorite song..."I Want You Bad."
