I pull away when I hear someone talking behind us and when I turn around I find everybody standing behind us. I hear Michael grumble before he pulls a 50 dollar bill out of his pocket and hands it to Luke who looks happy. Josh looks pissed but is looking away from us. I blush bright red and pull away from Ashton before I start walking ahead of them to avoid more embarrassment.

What was I thinking? Why did I kiss him? Because you like him, a voice in my head tells me. But he doesn't like me? Or at least he shouldn't. Well, that kiss says otherwise. Why would he like a damaged girl like me?

"The show is in three hours. You have a sound check then you have to get changed then you perform. You know the drill, you can stay when One Direction plays or you can go stay in the bus. Let's go boys we have a tight schedule." Their manager lists before all of the boys except Josh are ushered away.

"Hey." I greet quietly as I go up to him. He nods but doesn't say anything as he walks towards the stage where the boys will be doing a sound check soon. "Are you mad at me?" I ask in a small voice.

"No, I want you to do whatever makes you happy." He answers curtly.

"What would make you happy though?" I ask. He softens some and turns to me.

"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I'm just being an overprotective brother." He answers with a smile.

"Okay." I answer and nod.

"Come on, let's go watch them do a sound check." He throws his arm over my shoulder and steers me to the stage. "Do you want to watch from behind stage tonight or from the crowd?" he asks.

"I think it would be cool to watch from the crowd tonight." I answer with an excited smile. He nods but doesn't say anything. "Is that okay with you?" I ask.

"No, but if it was up to me you would never leave my sight." He chuckles softly.

"I'll be fine." I tell him.

"I'll send a security guard with you." He answers me.

When the concert starts, I am in the front row next to one of their bodyguards. He has dark brown hair and blue eyes and is way taller than me, but that isn't saying much since I'm only 5'5".

"What's your name?" I ask over the screaming girls.

"James." He answers.

"Hi James, I'm Alora. Nice to meet you." I laugh as I stick out my hand for him to shake.

"Nice to meet you too." He chuckles. "So you're Josh's sister? How was that growing up?" he jokes.

"He wasn't really around much. He was either out with his friends or out making a name for himself." I answer with a small smile. Before either of us can say anything else, the light dim and the boys take the stage.

I stay in the crowd with James until One Direction is finished then I follow James to the door that leads us backstage. We didn't have trouble with any fans which I'm thankful for. As we go through the door a cloud of colored dust goes up in the air after James gets through. It sticks to my skin and clothes, dying them blue, pink and yellow.

"That one sucked." I commented before I opened my eyes. I find all of the One Direction boys looking at me but only three of the other boys. "Where is-?" my question is cut off when ice water meets my head and pours down the rest of my body from above me. I scream and run away from it and towards the closest warm body, which happens to be Luke. I throw myself at him and latch onto him, getting him wet and dyed. He shouts and tries to peel me off of him but I have a death grip and I don't let go until Ashton comes down laughing at me. I jump down from Luke's arms and run towards him tackling him to the ground. "You dick! This was my favorite shirt! And now I'm freezing! Why would you-?" my question is cut off with a sneeze coming from my own mouth that makes three more follow it. I roll off of Ashton as I sneeze and end up lying on my back with an aching body when I'm finished.
