Chapter 15
Shoot.
What am I gonna do? This night was turning into another awesome night to a unexpected and surprising one.
The bad unexpected.
Niall was still surprised. I could see his facial expression. Jaw open, eyes widened and he kept moving his head everywhere, which made the fans scream louder.
All of us kept silent. I don't think the fans suspected anything wrong... Or did they? We never know.
"Well..." Lou started. "Charlotte, get down from there and join us!" Fugger. I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die.
I will die.
Oh wait, I already have.
I went down slowly and stayed between Harry and Louis. The spotlight was so bright that I had to squink my eyes. "So, everyone, this is... Charlotte! Our pianist and a good friend of Niall's. Say hello!" Lou handed me the microphone.
Inhale. Exhale. Breathe.
This is just like the first concert you performed. That is, a bigger audience.
And, this was a sudden act.
"Hello! I'm, Charlotte..." The crowd cheered.
"So are you and Niall ready to show our massive fans some awesome talent?" Zayn shouted with his microphone.
No. I wasn't and I'm guessing Niall wasn't either.
"Let's just get this over with..." Niall whispered to me. Okay, so he was half-confident.
"Charlotte, take a seat right here..." Harry offered me a small chair. "You should've at least warned me about this." "You don't understand... I'm just as confused as you are." "What do you mean? You picked this out, didn't you?" "No, I didn't. Look, let's talk about this later." He moved away and sat on the chair.
Niall grabbed his guitar and started playing.
God, it's actually happening isn't it?
Okay... I could do this. I just had to breathe and stayed calm.
The intro ended and I started to sing,
"You were in college working part time waitin’ tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin’
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
I say "Can you believe it?
As we’re lying on the couch?"
The moment I can see it.
Yes, yes, I can see it now."
"Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time.
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daugtherYou are the best thing. That's ever been mine." Niall harmonized with me.
The crowd roared and I smiled to them.
This wasn't so bad...
"Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You made me start to believe for the first time
I made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine." Niall sang on his own.He changed the lyrics didn't he? Fugger.
"And I remember that fight, 2:30A.M.
Everything had slipped right out of our heads
I stayed out, crying while you left to the streets." He walked around, strumming his guitar.Oh, he wants to play the song this way, I see? Well, I should play back.
"I didn’t want a goodbye
Cause you were all I had
That was a big surprise," I sang. He looked at me with a wide stare."Now, I never feel the same..." He sang quietly, and slowly he stopped strumming.
We were both quiet.
And, so was the crowd. Just as awkward as we were.
We just stared at each other. To the fans, we looked like were giving the same stare to each other.
But to ourselves, it was different. I gave him a sad and confused stare, while he gave me a stare that had his rage and anger.
See the big difference?
Suddenly, Niall started strumming again. Then, he sang.
"I remember how I felt when I sang with you
And, how I would look at you most of the time
Now, I can’t seem to be the same as beforeYou were the best thing, that was never mine."
Then, we sang the chorus, as normal as possible.
We clapped.
And, the boys continued their Twitter Q&A.
I didn't really care about it as much as earlier since I was thinking about something lately.
I wish my relationship with Niall was just like a song. We could change stuff. But that's affected our relationship. Instead, the one I really wished that happened to us that we would be normal as possible.
