Diall: The Untold Story

Chapter 4: VMAs And Then Some

I couldn't stop thinking about Demi. I fancied her more than any other girl I've fancied before. Even though she repeatedly told me and the press she wanted to be just friends...I knew better and so did her whole tour team and family. Over the summer I skyped with Demi and one of her back-up singers, Shari. When Demi went to the bathroom, Shari told me Demi blushed whenever anyone mentioned my name and she would get really excited to skype me. Demi's mom must've been a baker because she's a cutie pie hahaha. It got harder to make time to skype with each other since we were both extremely busy with our summer tours, but we found time. This whole long distance friendship thing was hard, but once we got to see each other in person, we knew it was definatly worth our time.

This may sound really dorky but I had a countdown to the VMAs on my phone. It was the next time I'd see Demi. I think I was more excited about seeing her than I was to go to my first big American awards show. All the lads made fun of me for it but I didn't care. I'd get to see my Dem Dem.

The day of the VMAs came and I was super pumped! We were nominated for 3 awards, we got to perform, and I GOT TO SEE DEMI. She told me she was performing at the pre-show so I was crossing my fingers I would be able to catch it, but as soon as we go there we were rushed for pictures, interviews, and then straight inside so the red carpet would stay "organized". It was bullshit, but there was nothing I could do. At least they showed the pre-show on the screen inside, but I wanted to see her sing live. I never got that opportunity before unless you count that one time Demi left her laptop open backstage and I got to watch her concert through skype.

As the night went on, it went perfectly. We won best pop video which was MASSIVE. We beat Justin Bieber. I look up to him and to win over him was unreal and on top of that I got a kiss from Katy Perry ;) I kissed a girl and I liked it. Taste of her cherry chapstick.What teenage boy gets to say that he kissed Katy Perry? Oh yeah I do haha. And when Demi presented an award with Rita Ora, my heart skipped a beat. That was the first time I saw her in person since June. She was absolutely stunning. I couldn't take my eyes off the way her dress hugged her in all the right places and that smile of hers that lit up the whole stage. I didn't even realize how big I was smiling until Liam nudged me and told me I looked like I was about to go kill a unicorn with a rainbow. I tried to go catch Demi backstage but Paul stopped me. He said it was too chaotic right now for me to go backstage by myself. I was pissed but Paul was probably right, but I had to meet up with Demi. It would've been insane if we were in the same place and didn't meet up so I texted her during a commercial break.

Me: Meet me backstage after me and the lads perform. Can't wait to see you honey.

Demi: K see ya soon sweet stuff!!!

Me: Btw the song I sing tonight is for you

Demi: awww

The next commercial break we headed backstage to quickly change and get ready for our performance. We were finally singing something else than What Makes You Beautiful. I love that song and it's really catchy but after a while you get sick of it. We got to sing One Thing which is one of my favorites. Getting on that stage was one of the most surreal moments of my life. The crowd was pumping and we weren't only singing for them, we were singing for all the people at home watching. That go to my nerves a bit but then I just thought about getting to see Demi after I perform and POOF all of those worries left. The platform rose exposing us to the cluster of girls screaming as the familiar tune played. All of us were singing to someone. Liam to Danielle, Louis to Eleanor, Zayn to Perrie, Harry to probably Taylor(we asumed since the little curly devil had a bit of a crush on her at the time), and me to Demi.

After I was done performing, I went as fast as I could backstage. I spent a good two or three minutes searching for Demi in the crowded room. Then I saw her little blonde head. My feelings took over me and my heart almost hurt. I felt like a little boy. Our eyes met and we both sped walked over to each other.We quickly hugged and she kissed my cheek, I wanted to hold her in my arms for longer but I was afraid if I did we'd be stuck. There was very little wiggle room back there. For a while we both stood there smiling at each other as big as we could smile which is the picture the fans got of us from the backstage cam.
