I Can't Forget You//Ross Lynch&R5

Chapter 29

Today's the first show of the tour! We're so excited!

R5's doing meet and greet and Q&A right now, and Sophie and I are finishing up getting ready.

"You're outfit is so cute!" Sophie says to me as we're standing in front of the mirror.

I'm wearing a white short sleeve crop top with a black high wasted skirt with my all black high top converse. My hair is also curled.

"Thanks! So is yours!"

Sophie's wearing a pink tank top with black leggings and pink converse that match her shirt perfectly. Her hair is pulled back into a pony tail.

Once R5 is done with the VIP stuff, we warm up a little and get ready to go on.

"Okay, you two have done a really good job of keeping your setlist a secret. Can you tell us now?" Rydel asks us.

Sophie and I look at each other and giggle.

When we had sound check this morning, we made sure they weren't in the building when we were rehearsing. We wanted to surprise them and show them that we didn't need their help.

"Sure, why not." I answer.

"We're opening with 'Party' by Demi Lovato, then it goes; 'Firework' by Katy Perry, 'I Knew You Were Trouble' by Taylor Swift, 'Keep Holding On' by Avril Lavigne, 'Rolling in the Deep' by Adele, and we're closing with 'Party in the USA' by Miley Cyrus." Sophie says.

"You guys are going to kill it!" Riker says.

"Cheslea, Sophie, time to go on!" One of the stage managers tell us.

We grab our mics and go to the sides of the stage. I'm coming on from the left side, and Sophie is coming on from the right.

The band went out before we did.

The lights went out, the stage lit up, and the crowd started to scream.

I've never really gotten nervous for performances before, but I'm worried that I'm not going to put on a good show.

I take a deep breath and the guitarist plays the opening of the song.

Sophie and I look at each other from across the stage and count to three on our fingers, then run out on stage.

Sophie starts the song, we take turns singing the verses, and we both sing the chorus.

We lose ourselves in the song and just have fun.

The crowd has a positive response to us. They're singing and dancing along and having fun.

Right before our last song, we take a minute to thank everyone.

"Thank you guys so much for having fun with us tonight! You guys were amazing!" I say into the microphone.

"We're going to be outside in the lobby area after if you wanna stop by and say hi!" Sophie adds.

"Alright, this is our last song. I think you're going to know it!"

After we're done, we run backstage really quick.

Ross gives me a hug and kisses the top of my head.

"You were amazing!" He says.

"Thanks."

"You two killed it!" Rocky says.

"It was so much fun." We say at the same time.

Ryland runs in from the side door.

"Um girls; you might want to hurry up and get out there. There's a line of people waiting for you two." He tells us.

"No way!" I say kinda loud.

We walk outside into the front of the building and Ryland was right; there's a line. Mark was telling them to stay in line and we'll be there in a minute.

When we were in Cali over spring break, we did a mini photoshoot, so we made posters out of our favorite picture we took, and we're signing them for fans. We're also going to be taking pictures with them.

We stand behind the table and start signing posters, taking pictures, and taking to fans. Most of them had no clue who we were, but said we were really good.

This one girl stood out to both of us.

She walked up to the table and handed us a bag of stuff.

"I'm such a huge fan! I ran across your first video about a week after it was out on YouTube and I've been following you guys ever since." She says.

"Wow. Thanks." I say.

She's the first one to say that she's known about us.

"There's a few little gifts for you two in the bag. I hope you like them!"

We sign a poster for her and take a picture. I'm surprised she didn't start crying she was so excited and happy.

About 15 minutes later, Mark told everyone in line that Ryland was going on in a minute.

Most people left and went back to their seats, a few stayed and waited.

Right before R5 went on, we left the table and went backstage to watch the show.

It's a lot different watching a concert from the side than in the crowd.

When the show was over, Sophie and I went back to our table for about a half hour, then we went back on the bus and we all talked until we went to bed.
