CHAPTER FIVE
LET THE TOUR BEGIN!
NIALL HORAN'S POV:
"What happened to your face?" I heard Simon' voice asked through the other side of the wall. I was walking through the hallway where one of the stagehands, Erik, told me where he last saw the boys. I am looking for them since they left me at the dressing room.
"I banged my head on the doorframe last night." I heard a very familiar voice replied. Liz? I looked at the door, and so this is where Liz's dressing room is. "Clumsy, I know. You don't have to rub it in." she said dismissively.
"Is Sophie the one that made that?" Wait! What? I clearly forgot about looking for the boys and now they were in front of me.
"Niall wh-" I put my hand on Louis' mouth silencing him. I gestured for them to listen.
"You know?" I heard Liz reply.
"Know what?" another voice joined the conversation, Victoria.
"Don't play dumb," Simon said. "I know. So Sophia?"
I wasn't sure, I didn't see them. But, I'm pretty sure Liz nod because what Simon said next was: "Why didn't you tell Harry. Them. Why didn't you tell them?"
"Why?" Liz said angrily. "So the girls could spread lies, no thank you. I already settle for the attention seeking brat. I don't want them to think I'm a boyfriend stealer too. I already have enough. Besides, after this and now that I told you all this, could you now approve to me moving? Please. Please."
"When you told me this, I said you are going on a storm. I never thought you had been going on this big dark cloud and on this full-on rain storm. But Scarlet, Liz, Darcy, wow you have a lot of nicknames, remember in every storm there is always a silver lining."
After what she said I notice the boys and I all sunk to the floor, back against the wall. I knew the girls' comments were bad, but I didn't know it was that bad. I turned at Harry he was on the floor and single tear slid down his left eye. He wiped it off. Then, he stood up. "I have something to do." with that he left.
SCARLET EISENBURG'S POV:
Silver lining, haven't seen my silver lining yet. I highly doubt one would come to me. I said to myself.
Simon told me he knew about Sophia. The empty threats, all those things and alike, he knew about it. Well then, I confirmed it. Then I asked him if could finally move out. Then, he said he would consider it. Wow! That's an improvement at least he said he would consider not say no directly to my face like the last few times I asked him.
Well enough of that, I have a concert in an hour. I need to get ready. I was seated on the vanity chair waiting for my make-up artist, Katie. Where is she? I was already in my first dress, a purple tube dress that stops an inch above my knee. It is silk. It hugged my body like a second skin. I was also wearing a pair of purple flats.
I was about to go look for her when she already walked in.
"Katie, what took you so long? Don't tell me, Luke?" I teased.
She blushed. Gosh! She is so lucky to have Luke. Luke is her boyfriend for five months but I can tell she loves him and he loves her back. They fit perfectly together. I wish I had someone like that. Someone who would be there for me, love me as I love him, be my friend and also my lover. I want someone who understands me. Well, that has to wait. I have a concert to do.
"Scarlet, relax and let me have your make up." Katie said.
I close my eyes, letting her do her work. My mind drifted to a possibility if Sophia and Harry didn't meet. That would have made it so much easier. I sighed again.
I must have dozed off since, when I woke up. I heard Nick call out. "Five minutes, five minutes till show time."
I sighed. This is it.
I was now standing on my way to the entrance of the stage. Standing on an elevator platform fifty feet above the ground, I looked down at the backstage. The boys just got out of their dressing room. They were all in such casual outfits, complementing mine.
"You are on!" Nick said to the boys. On the stage, the lights dim. The music started. The boys run to the stage. They are singing "Live While We're Young". The crowd cheered.
After the song was finished, I heard Harry say to the crowd, "Venice! We are very honor to give you the main event, Scarlet. But we gonna give her to you after we sing our next song, Kiss You."
Their second song was the second song on their album "Kiss You" I looked at them from my place in the rafters. Simon was looking at them. Pride was shining from his eyes. I wondered if he ever looks at me like that.
Their time in the stage was done and now it my turn. The music started. The platform was starting to so lower down. I took at deep breath. This is it. Showtime!
