What The Heart Wants (Stereo Kicks/ James Graham)

Chapter 39

Today's Friday. That means 6am wake up call for the next three days, wardrobe fitting, sound check, and double the rehearsal time. Not to mention double the hours I have to work since it is now officially the weekend. I'm literally stressed to the max. "Earth to Aria." Brian snapped his fingers in front of my face bringing my head from out of the clouds. We were running through our performance on stage to make sure everything looked good for tomorrow. I must have dazed off because Brian, Louis, and the boys were looking at me like I just missed something important. Which I did. I totally missed my solo because I was thinking about my very time consuming day and night. I mean seriously, I have to wake up at 6am and won't get home from work until 4:15am. That's an hour and forty-five minutes of sleep. Holy shit. "I'm sorry." I mumbled, a little embarrassed that I actually forgot to sing. "It's alright. Let's take it from the top one more time."  Brian said as he turned and got off stage.

After sound check we went to our wardrobe fitting. The boys looked good. Fully clothed, not showing too much skin...but me on the other hand...had I known being the only girl in this freaking band meant that I would have to wear super short shorts, and tank tops that showed my stomach on live television in front of millions of people, I would have cut my hair and pretended to be a guy. I mean, I'm used to slutty clothing and everything, but that's for work. I get paid to dress like that. And it's not like there are cameras zooming in on me at the damn club like there are here. The only plus side to this outfit was that I didn't have to wear heels. Trying to keep it classy apparently. Once we were all set with wardrobe it was already noon. Louis told us there were fans outside that wanted to meet us and since we were done for the day, other than rehearsing on our own, he said we could go see them. Great. I get to watch a bunch of girls throw themselves at the guys while I stand there awkwardly pretending not to exist. The boys were of course excited. I would be excited too if I had a bunch of hot single guys waiting to see me. But it is what it is. We all walked out back and there was a crowd of about thirty girls standing behind the gate. When they seen us, or should I say, when they seen the boys, they started screaming. I couldn't help but laugh. "What are you laughing at?" I looked over and seen James standing next to me. "Nothing. I just find it funny that I'm on this side of the gate and not with them." I nodded at the girls. "Would you really come out here to see us if you weren't in the band?" He raised his eyebrows as we slowly made our way to the gate. "If I already lived here in the UK I would probably sleep out here just to get a picture with you guys. And yes I feel great shame that I just admitted that." I smiled. He shook his head and smiled back then we split up to take pictures with the fans. I was surprised at how many actually wanted a picture with me and how many wanted my autograph. I met with almost every girl and got a picture with them and signed whatever they put in front of me. I had a few conversations along the way too. Some asked what it was like being the only girl, others asked how I was liking the UK, a lot of them told me that I was 'so lucky' and that they were 'so jealous.' They were fun, but the time came when we had to go back to the house, so we all said good bye and got in the van. We were almost there when Chris and Reece both got our attention. "Check it out boys." They both held up a piece of paper with numbers on them. But not just any numbers, phone numbers. "You guys got phone numbers?" I asked incredulously. "Well to be fair, I didn't take it, she slipped it in my pocket. But I'm not complaining, she was hot." Chris said. "Do you at least know her name?" I asked. "Yes actually. It's Brittany." He smiled proudly. "What about you Reece? Did you get a name?" I looked from Chris to Reece. "Her name is Meg and she's sixteen." He stuck his tongue out at me. "Fair enough." I held my hands up defensively. The other guys congratulated them and then we were home. Aahh, home sweet home.
