True Love...

Chapter 7

We sped to the stadium and we were there by 6:30. We ran through the door and immediately saw a complete freak out before our eyes.

"WHY ARENT THE BRACELETS WORKING?!", A maintenance man behind us yelled. Phil immediately ran over to the man running in a frenzy.

"Your telling me, there are 20,000 people out there waiting for a show with xylobands and they aren't even working?!"

"WE'RE TRYING OUR HARDEST! THE STADIUM LIGHTS ARE WORKING EITHER."

Phil was always on top of everything, and the guys were honestly lucky to have him. I don't think they could survive without him.

Phil and the man sprinted down the hallway and through the double doors opening to a sound of 20,000 singing fans. All joined together singing Viva La Vida. We all looked at eachother in shock not really knowing where to go. There was no chance for a warm up or a soundcheck. We saw a sign not too far away that said "Coldplay dressing room". We walked through the door and Chris turned around and closed it. Locking while he was at it for privacy.

All the guys started changing into their performance clothes. I casually didn't watch to give them as most privacy in the room as possible, until Chris came over and softly grabbed the side of my face turning it twoards them. Chris and Jonny were done but Guy and Will weren't.

"Wheres our instruments?"

"I'm not sure Jay.", said Chris.

We all looked at eachother in confusion, with a feeling of something not right, and when we looked over and saw six flashlights sitting on the table the feeling grew worse. Within the next few seconds those flashlights came quite clear to us why they were sitting there. The lights flickered a few times like a horror movie and then eventually went completely out.

We could hear the screams and cheers of 20,000 fans, as they thought it was probably part of the show. We all clicked on our flashlights and went over to unlock the door to open and see a hallway lit with candles and people holding flashlights, four people holding instruments for the guys.

"Our first black out concert. Alright, I guess lets do it.", Chris said semi-confidently.

"Looks like you guys are going acoustic.", I said.

"This oughta be fun."

They walked us down the hallway and opended the double doors. It was probably one of the most beautiful sight i've ever seen. Glow sticks all over the place and workers cracking them and throwing them to the fans. Everyone cheared as two people shown flashlights on all the band members walking out with them. I dont think too many people cared. I tried to let go of Chris' hand and stay back stage, but as I kept trying to let go his grip only grew stronger. Looks like I'm going on stage.

The stage felt even bigger with the almost pitch darkness and empty feeling. Glowsticks were cracked and put all over the stage. Tied to instruments and lights.

"Chris. What are you doing? Let go.", I said as he pulled me further and further.

"Nope. You're coming with me."

I started laughing and then got a bit nervous since we haven't released our relationship to public yet, but the show was amazing.

They went acoustic. Probably the most fun I've ever had in my life holding on to him the whole time and dancing the whole time. I thought the two hours would never end. It was amazing and beautiful. Quite hot but I didnt care. We ended the show like every other and made our way back out the doors, down the hallway and outside running like freaks. Guy and Will stopped at the big black SUV's, but me, Jonny and Chris kept running and yelling, laughing all the way.

We ran all the way home that night. All the way back to their hotel laughing and running into the front lobby, startling Ally and making her giggle.

"Ok, so what have you guys been up to?", she said giggling opening up the fridge behind her and grabbing three waters handing them to us.

Chris kept laughing and panting opening his water smiling and taking a drink out of it.

"Black out concert. The power was out. It was honestly amazing.", Jonny said smiling and panting with every word.

"Sounds like it."

"Totally.", I said laughing.

"Some more wine today Mr. Martin?", said Ally.

"YES.", we all said together.

We all laughed and walked to the lift. I bet this night will be great too.
