4th June 2017

Niall and I sat on two seats in the middle of the stage and he started playing the guitar to 'Half A Heart'

The fans started screaming when I started singing making me smile.
I tapped my foot against the stool foot rest and swayed softly.

"So your friend's been telling me
You've been sleeping with my sweater
And that you can't stop missing me
Bet my friend's been telling you
I'm not doing much better
'Cause I'm missing half of me
And being here without you is like I'm waking up to
Only half a blue sky
Kinda there but not quite
I'm walking around with just one shoe
I'm half a heart without you
I'm half a man at best
With half an arrow in my chest
I miss everything we do
I'm half a heart without youuuu"

The crowd sung along softly with me making my heart melt.

They erupted in crazy screams as I began to sing Louis' part "Forget all we said that night
No, it doesn't even matter
'Cause we both got split in two" I then started to sing Zayn's part
"If you could spare an hour or so
We'll go for lunch down by the river
We can really talk it through"

I looked at Niall and smiled as I asked the crowd to sing with me "Manchester if you know it sing it with me" I asked softly and sung along to the chorus with them.

Niall started singing after the chorus "Though I try to get you out of my head
The truth is I got lost without you
And since then I've been waking up to" and he made the crowd go wild.

We both sung softly to the chorus. As I carried on singing and sung Zayn's adlibs, I turned to see photos of the boys and I rolling on the main screen behind us.

"You sounded beautiful Manchester" I compliment as I fixed my ear piece.
"So this next song.. is off of One Direction's fourth album.. ironically called FOUR, because they couldn't think of another name for it..." I joked making the crowd laugh.

Niall made a face "if I remember rightly, you were the one who suggested that album title name," he said into his face microphone making me and the crowd laugh.
I rolled my eyes "anyway, this song is from the FOUR album..who knows that album well? Who's a fan of it?" I asked the crowd and all the girls screamed making me smile.

"Who knows what track number 7 is??" I questioned cheekily and the crowd screamed back.
"I actually heard someone say it," Niall laughed softly pointing to the area he heard it from.

"Well, lets get on with it.." I sighed blissfully. "Ladies and gentlemen, if you know this next song. Please sing along" I smiled and I saw the cameras focussing on Niall and I.

The music started to Night Changes and everyone screamed.

"Going out tonight
Changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Everything she never had she's showing off
Driving too fast
Moon is breaking through her hair
She said it was something that she won't forget
Having no regrets is all that she really wants" I sung Zayn and Liam's parts with the crowd.

I turned to face the screen to see that each part I sing they'll put a collection of photos up of me and that certain 1D boy who originally sings that certain part. So for Zayn, they put up photos of Zayn and I. The same with everyone else.

As I started singing the chorus which is Harry's bit, a photo of Harry and I came up on the screen and it was a photo from the Brit Awards 2014 and we was both on the red carpet smiling as our arms are around each other "We're only getting older, baby
And I've been thinking about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you"

As it came up to louis' part, photos of Louis and I came up on the screen.. and now even videos where being played of the boys and I which was so nice and heart warming. Once the fans realised I was singing louis' part they all went crazy.

"Chasing it tonight
Doubts are running 'round her head
He's waiting, hides behind a cigarette
Heart is beating loud and she doesn't want it to stop"

I stopped singing and smiled widely at how crazy the crowd goes when I sing Louis' parts. It's weird. It's like they enjoy me singing my brothers lines.

Niall then sung his part beautifully making the crowd swoon over him "Moving too fast
Moon is lighting up her skin
She's falling, doesn't even know it yet
Having no regrets is all that she really waaaants"

I sing the chorus again "Manchester sing with me," I order and everyone sings loudly "We're only getting older,— beautiful!!" I praise the crowd making them scream loudly so I laugh and carry on with the song
"And I've been thinking about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you"

Niall and I sway as he plays the guitar.

"Going out tonight
Changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Reminds her of the missing piece of innocence she lost" I sung Zayn's part and the crowd went wild.
They sung the beginning of the chorus letting me catch my breath.

I joined in with them halfway "Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change, baby
It will never change, baby
It will never change me and you" I sing softly and the crowd cheer loudly.

I stood up off of the stool and moved it out of the way as did Niall.
The crowd cheered as I moved the microphone stand and so did Niall as we prepared for the next song.
