Time: One hour until showtime

Location: Wembley Stadium, Niall's dressing room

The last couple hours have been a complete blur. We got to Wembley with 10 minutes to spare because we hit so much traffic. That's Saturday in London for you. Once we got to the stadium, the boys were all ushered off for hair, styling, interviews, meet and greets, soundcheck. Izzy and I were also pressured into hair, makeup, and styling then I had to accompany on all the interviews making sure they're hitting all the talking points that Mr. Hyde supplied me with earlier in the day. During soundcheck, Mr. Hyde finally arrived and sang me praise for what seemed like forever. I would be happier about pleasing a workplace superior if doing my job didn't ruin my life. Backstage I've seen everyone and their mother, Liam's family, Zayn's family, Harry's mum and sister, my little sisters, Niall's mum and dad on top of countless celebrities including Victoria and David Beckham, Ed Sheeran, and Calvin Harris who've popped in to wish the boys good luck before taking their discrete place in the stadium.

5 Seconds of Summer just started their opening set and I can already tell the crowd is special. The cheers when they came out were so loud you couldn't hear your own thoughts. Mr. Hyde said that every single seat is filled. It's amazing and intimidating.

I'm currently hiding from everyone in Niall's dressing room. I'm laying down with my feet dangling over the back of the sofa in the room. It feels weird lounging like this with full makeup, hairstyling, and an outfit that costs more than some cars, but I'm pouting. Harry still won't look at me. How he's managed it for so long is beyond me. I'm hiding in Niall's dressing room because everyone would look for me in Louis's. Pretty brilliant if I do say so myself.

Izzy and Niall are chatting amongst themselves, but I've got them pretty well tuned out. For some reason, I feel like there is a timer counting down to the concert. I get a feeling that I need to act now or else it won't matter anymore. I'm probably just making that up, but the feeling is so overwhelming that I sit up on the couch. Now or never.

"I'm going to go talk to him," I say getting up. Izzy and Niall exchange a look.

"Okay," is all Izzy says.
