~Celeste's POV~
A few hours later,I woke up to someone gently shaking my shoulder.
"Angel." Mitchel's soft voice said.
I sat up and stretched. "Are we there yet?" I asked softly,as I rubbed my eyes and fixed my hair.
"Yea. C'mon." He replied with a light smile. I got up and got my shoes on, then followed him out of the bus.
We walked into the venue and I was immediately breath taken. "Woah." I murmured.
"Right? This is one of my favorite venues." He replied fondly. I nodded as I took it in. He took my hand. "Hey come on, you're gonna love backstage." He said.
I looked at our hands,and blushed. I looked at him and he chuckled. "c'mon angel." He said,giving me a little tug. I followed him backstage.
"Hey there they are!" Christian beamed! Mitchel let go of my hand,and hugged Christian. Christian pulled him on to the couch,and sat Mitchel in his lap. "I was starting to miss you." Christian said.
Mitchel's face lit up,and he looked at Christian,like he was the most special treasure in the world. Mitchel kissed Christian's forehead and held his hand, interlacing their fingers. "I love you." He said softly.
"Right back at you." Christian replied endearingly.
"Alright. That's my que to go." Clinton sighed. "Wait Horsie! I'll come with you." Jesse beamed!
"I'm just showing Celeste to the merch table bub." Clinton replied.
"Still coming with." Jesse replied, draping his arm around Clinton's shoulders. I followed them out to the merch table.
I started unboxing the clothes,and started hanging them. "You can take one for yourself if you'd like." Clinton said.
I grinned and picked up a large size hoodie,and put it on. Jesse and Clinton walked back to the stage,and I heard them start soundcheck.
I soon finished setting up the merch table and I heard my name being called. I looked over and Christian ran over. "Hey aren't you gonna stay backstage during the show? You don't have to stay here the whole time. You'll miss out." He said.
I nodded. "Yea I'm coming." I replied,as I put the last box under the table. I followed him to the stage,and we went backstage.
"We have snacks and refreshments if you want anything." He said.
"Alright. Thanks Kras." I replied with a smile. I grabbed a water and a sandwich and curled up on the couch. "Ya know we have hoodies your size if ya want." Christian chuckled.
"Hm? Oh no I know. I prefer them a size too big. Feels better that way." I replied fondly.
He softly smiled and I saw his cheeks tint to a light pink. Soon,the house lights went down,and the stage lights went on. I heard the intro audio.
"Five." The music got louder with the crowd. "Four." I walk to side stage and see people lift their phones. I roll my eyes and chuckle. "Three." Jesse runs out,and starts his drum solo. "Two." The crowd starts bouncing along to the fast beats. I grab my phone too. "One." The boys run out on to the stage. "Zero." The boys start playing Angels and the phones go down. I could feel my adrenaline rush starting.
~After the show~
After the show,I bolted to the merch table. There was a massive line,but to my surprise,the fans were actually really sweet and relaxed. Some of them even left great tips.
After everyone got merch,I went outside and found the boys. "Hey! There you are! How was the table?" Christian asked,putting his arm around my shoulders.
"Actually,really pleasant! Your guy's fans are really really sweet and they're so laid back. They're so patient and they're so bright and bubbly." I replied brightly.
He walked us over to some more fans. "Hey you're the merch girl right? I didn't catch your name." A fan said.
"I'm Celeste. It's a huge pleasure to meet you!" I beamed! We shook hands and I even hugged a few fans. The boys listened to some of the fans stories and I helped take a few photos.
"Hey guys! It's nearly midnight! We gotta get to the airport really soon. We got a flight back home remember?" Ryan asked walking over.
"We're coming! Just let me find Pat!" Clinton called back. Some fans started looking around too. "I see him! Across the street at that diner! He's talking to some more fans looks like." Mitty called over to Ryan.
Ryan did a little two fingers salute and ran over to Pat. Soon,they walked over and we started getting on the bus.
"Trust me,we really do wish we could stay with you longer. We really do. We love you so much more than anything okay? You're the most beautiful souls." Mitty told the fans as he hugged them goodbye.
Christian walked over to him and put his hand on his shoulder. He gave Mitty a sympathetic smile,then held his hand,interlacing their fingers.
"C'mon bub." He said endearingly. Mitty sadly smiled and nodded, following Christian on to the bus.
Clinton hugged Mitchel. "It'll be okay bub. Just think of how excited mum and Stella will be to see you." Clinton said softly.
Mitchel nodded and went to his bunk.
Christian followed him,and sat beside him,as Mitty laid down and rested.
Everyone else did the same.
