“Okay guys, are you ready?” I was surprised they heard me over the screaming crowd only a few yards away and just through a few layers of black felt curtains. All five boys turned from peeking out at the crowd and look at me, all showing more than one expression. Happiness, gratefulness, nervousness, and a few shades of doubt. We’re standing backstage at BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise Florida, it’s the last show of the tour and everyone’s nervous. Nervous because it’s the last show, and nervous about whether or not they’ll deliver.
“More than we’ll ever be.” Harry says letting out a sigh but still holding onto his smile.
“You’ll all be great, I promise.” I look into all of their eyes one more time before I have to let them go. Harry, so excited I see a little child just wanting to burst out of him. Niall, standing there with one hand around his mic, and the other hand up to his mouth as he chews on his thumb nail. Liam, fidgeting with his shirt buttons, but with a grateful smile on his face. Louis, smiling so big because he knows he’s going to kill it tonight, but I know him. Deep down he’s as nervous as someone about to go skydiving for the first time. And then there’s Zayn, he’s obviously nervous too but stands there with the coolest bad boy expression he can hold. Just as I get finished looking at each of them a voice behind me says it’s time for the boys to go on stage and that the band is already out.
I hear Dan start strumming the guitar, and Josh hitting his foot petal on the drums. The crowd knows the song. They know every song, then they start clapping and with that the boys plug in their earpieces and jog onto stage together. Liam asks the crowd if they’re excited, which gets them screaming even more, then the boys begin with the opening song, “Na Na Na”.
It’s so weird to think that just about a year and a half ago I had no idea I would be here today. That the boys would have come this far, and I know this is only the beginning for them, and hopefully just the beginning for me. It was a hard and stressful journey to get here. And I bet you’re wondering how exactly we got here, and how this all got started.
