Hungry

Chapter 7 - Opening Act

Lou comes walking in with her handy dandy hair tools and shenanigans. She begins with our make up. First, smearing foundation and concealer on our faces. Second, dark eyeliner with brown eyeshadow and red lipstick for high ponytail Maddie, a thin line of eyeliner and nude lip gloss for French braided Chloë, brown eyeshadow and peach colored lipstick for beachy waves Gemma and mascara and a salmon colored lipstick for straightened hair me. We dressed casually consisting of muscle tees or tank tops with a pair of black skinnies and vans, converse or combat boots. I wore one of our merch which happens to be a muscle tee with my lace bralette under, a pair of ripped black skinnies and the usual hightop black converses.

After we were finished getting ready, we met up with the rest of the gang. Most of them were in a deep discussion about safety tips and what not to do. I kinda listened but I dazed off. I walked over to Calum. He was sporting a ripped muscle tee with black skinnies. He was talking to Ashton, and looked up as I made my way towards them.

"Hey Ash! Hey Calum!" I exclaimed excitedly.

"Woah, well look at you! I like your outfit," Calum smirked, scanning my body. I felt utterly exposed.

"Indie, I am loving that get-up," chuckled Ashton.

"Why thank you, you guys. I gotta funny story to tell. So, when the band and I were finished with soundcheck, we went to the fans for picture and shit. A girl came up to me and asked if we were dating hahahaha," I giggled.

"Oh really? That's...hilarious," Calum laughed forcefully, looking at Ashton. What's up with him? I thought it was funny. I guess some people don't understand my sense of humor. Hmph.

"Cal, let's take a picture with your band!" I whined.

"Okay, you might blend in," he smirked. Okay, fun Calum is back.

He gathered the lads to take a picture. Luke, Cal, me, Ash and Michael posed side by side and made a weird face.

"Thanks lads, I'm gonna post it up now," I smiled to myself.

"@indiejames: if you don't know already, I am the new band member of @5sos ;-) xx"

"@calum5sos: @indiejames Make way for our newest singer. What do you have to say about this @luke5sos ? x "

"@luke5sos: @indiejames @calum5sos time to look for another job "

I giggled to myself. They are so amusing.

"Okay, ladies, you will be out in 5 minutes!! 5 minutes!!!" Jackie exclaimed.

The ladies and I gathered up, along with the lads from 5sos and 1D. We all prayed that we will have fun safely and then we did this weird chant. I can't even explain it but we sound like zoo animals.

"Good luck, ladies!" Exclaimed Liam.

"Go kick some arses!" shouted Calum. I laugh so loud and he just stares at me with his warm, brown eyes. God, he's so handsome. I break the gaze by waving bye and rushing to the stage.

The girls make it to their spots and I take my place at the center of the stage. I step into my mic, shouting," London, let's go fucking mental!" They all scream so loud. Shit. I forgot that these are little girls that are way younger than me. Oh well. A concert is a concert.

Chloë starts by pounding on the drums to get the crowd pumped up, and we break into Heartbreak Boy.

I dedicate this song to you

The one who never sees the truth

That I can take away your hurt

Heartbreak boy

Hold you tight straight through the daylight

I'm right here when you gonna realize that I'm your cure

Heartbreak boy

Next we kicked off with the calming sound of 'Drowning'. It was about that feeling of being overwhelmed for the future, relationships and life. It could just be about anything.

As we approach 'Struggling to Love', I grabbed the mic to talk for a bit.

"From my own experience, I can easily relate to this song, which is why I wrote it. If you have ever been betrayed by friendships or relationships, this is the song for you, my friend. Trusting people again is hard and it takes a hell of a long time to get used to, but loves, when you do it could be the best or worst thing ever. I want you to rock out and get lost into the music!" I exclaimed.

Boy, did we rock out. I was sweating so much and I can tell the crowd was getting pumped up.

"Thank you, London. It has truly been an honour to play for you all. Without your love, we would have never made it here. We cannot thank you enough. And, thank you to lads from 1D for noticing us. And also the 5sos lads, for dealing with our annoying selves. I hope you had fun rocking with us and hopefully you will stick with us when we headline our own shows. We are the Nativ, love you all!" I said over the mic. The four of us stood by each other side by side in the front of the stage and we bowed down in unison. The crowd wooed and cheered and we made our way back to the dressing rooms.
