Lost Boys » Ashton Irwin [ENDED INDEFINITELY]

Chapter Six

I was slightly out of breath and definitely excited to see the rest of the show, and then get to see Ash again after. I wandered over to Alaina who was handing Lauren and Catie a couple of the red bracelets Ashton had mentioned earlier. When I walked up to Alaina she handed me one and said "The second half of the concert is gonna start, we need to go!" 

We left through the door we had come in, and we were met buy the same grumpy guard from earlier. He lead us through the dingy hallway to the door leading into the area of the theatre where the audience was. We were all so unbelievably excited and jittery as we the guard helpfully escorted us back to our seats. I couldn't control my breathing. And I couldn't control my yearning to see Ash again. I took a deep breath and tried to hold it.

Some stupid cunts situated a little bit to our left and behind us were acting up and bitching like the litte jealous fucks they were. I let my breath out in an exasperated sigh. Lauren went to 'rub' her eye and lifted up her middle finger to do so, turning her head so that she was facing the bitches. I laughed out at the hoes and Lauren and I gave them matching bitchfaces. They shouted something probably horribly fucking nasty back that we didn't catch due to the excitedly chattering crowd.

"There are some thirsty bitches here!" Lauren had leaned over Alaina and was yelling at me, "I've been messing with them all night!" I knew exactly what she was talking about and how she felt. I was about to fucking cut a bitch. The situation made me think of a line out of an All Time Low song, The Irony of Choking on a Lifesaver. "Why can't you just be happy for me?" I sang it silently in my head before responding to Lauren.

"Tell me about it," I rolled my eyes so done with hateful people, "Trifling hoes." I muttered and Lauren and Alaina laughed aloud at my comment. 

The four spotlights went up again like in the beginning of the concert and the crowd roared signaling the start of the second half of the show. Luke leaned into his mic and his voice rang out over the theatre through gigantic fucking speakers.

"Alright," Luke looked out over the whole audience as he said the first words, "This next song goes out to some special people we were lucky enough to meet today." And he smiled down at Alaina as Cal gazed at Lauren who was fidgeting flirtatiously with her braid. Michael was grinning at Catie like an idiot and Ash stood up slightly to make eye contact with me, smile, making my knees about give out, and then he winked. "Oh ok, I'm going to die now." I thought weakly as I grinned back until I thought my face would fall off. I blew a small kiss to Ash before they started their first number of the second half of the show. I subconsciously put a hand to the bandana Ash had tied around my head. Ashton started the song on a few soft beats before the other boys joined in.

I swung my hips and booty sensually to Ash's beat belting out the lyrics to Beside You. I felt so alive in that moment dancing sexily with my friends in the front row. We were having the night of our lives; all we saw was the boys, all we heard was the music, and all we felt was the energy coursing through our bodies. It felt fantastic. As I watched the boys I began noticing things. Michael nearly faceplanted behind Cal as he traveled around the stage as he does during concerts, he had tripped slightly over an untaped cord. He nervously righted himself and recovered. Luke had come in a few beats late for his lines. Cal was shakily breathing and stumbling a little over the words slightly. I concentrated on Ashton wondering what was going on. Right as the boys kicked some rockin' harmony, Ash hesitated and nearly dropped one of his drumsticks. I saw him mouth the word "shit" and recover hastily. By the end of the song, all of the boys were jolted and kind of embarrassed and sheepish looking. "What the hell was up? They've performed this song like a shit ton of times before..." I thought confusedly. They just looked nervous and flustered from concentration.

Don't Stop was the next song up and the fast beat kept the boys from concentrating too hard on any one part. They got into the song and were rocking out smoothly in no time. Alaina and I kept jumping around together screaming the words out together. The next number was She Looks So Perfect. My friends and I all looked at each other and started like acting it out while singing and dancing. It probably looked absolutely atrocious but it was fun as hell. Michael announced their last song would be Good Girls. Everyone screamed a roar of approval. Luke shouted into his mic with a grin "Are you ready, GOOD GIRLS?" That set everyone off, the theatre was a chaos of screaming girls and hormones wafting through the air like fucking perfume. 

"She's a good girl, she's daddy's favorite. He's saved for Harvard. He knows she'll make it." Michael whispered that last part into the mic making everyone freak out even more. The boys hadn't tripped or come in late since the first song but they were looking rather nervous up there again. I glanced over at Calum as his eyes widened slightly and he visibly licked his little lips. I followed his gaze down--to Lauren who was undoing her braid and shaking it out into soft, chestnut brown waves. 

"She said to me "Forget what you thought, 'cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught. So just turn around and forget what you saw, 'cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught."" Luke embellished the last line with a trill of his fabulous voice as Ashton banged out the last few beats.

Calum started the ending speech off with a "Hey, guys!"

Luke joined in, "Thank you all sooo much for coming out to see our shitty band." with a laugh. The crowd roared a disapproving noise and the boys all laughed. Michael added "And we hope you enjoyed the show!"

Ashton ended it by saying "Have a great night, guys. We love you." Then at the last second he said something I didn't quite catch in his sexy accent that must have been funny because the crowd around us broke out into laughter. Luke, Cal, Mikey, and Ashton joined in the middle arms around  each other and took a bow ending the concert officially. We were all still so excited from the performance that I was slightly startled when Alaina reminded Lauren about the wristbands and the boys.

"Hey," Alaina said to her, "They want us to go backstage with these, remember?" She asked motioning to their red bracelet-cladden wrists. Lauren smacked herself lightly on the head remembering suddenly. 

"Oh yeah! I totally forgot about that!" Lauren exclaimed excitedly. The guard from earlier (I had begun to think of him as our escort amongst the madness of the crazed audience) asked us if we had our wristbands and we all nodded. He nodded his head back and started leading us through the crowd to the "Personnel Only" door from intermission. As we were ushered over to the door, we passed the group of girls *cough cough* cunts, from earlier. Lauren shoulder checked one of them and made the bitch drop her iPhone clad in a One Direction phone case. I busted up laughing and the girl glared at me. I shouted at her, "Honey, she did you a favor!" I was still laughing as we made our way through the door into the dusty, old backstage hallway again. The guard said "You know where to go." and smiled closing the door behind us.
