Chance vs. Payne

Chapter Four

Maura’s POV

In three weeks I finally get to see Gemma again and the boys for the first time. Greyson doesn’t seem very happy about all this. I think he’s kind of jealous, but I’m not going to let him ruin my enthusiasm. Tricia hasn’t talked spoken to me since I told her I am going to a One Direction concert.

“Maura, phone!” I jump off my bed and run down the stairs.

“It’s Gemma” Tricia glares at me and shoves the phone into my hands.

“Hey Gemma!” I practically scream into the phone.

“Hey! Guess what? Like ten minutes ago…WE LANDED IN THE USA!!!”

“Aaahh!!!” I scream, “Where are you right now?”

“We’re in Rhode Island for a week, and then we go to Oklahoma for three weeks, then to Wisconsin.” She tells me.

“I don’t care about your whole schedule. Just when you’re going to be in Oklahoma city.” I laugh.

“oh, did that eleven year old Maura I knew six years ago change into a snobby seventeen year old?” she teased, “Well, I guess I kind of changed, too,” She laughed.

**Three weeks later**

Liam’s POV

Tonight’s the night. I get to see Maura in real life. I really hope I can know it’s her from all the other people.

We’re already sitting down. From left to right it’s Niall, Zayn, Louis, Harry, me, Gemma and then an extra chair form Maura when she gets here.

Five minutes until the doors open. I start watching the clock. I don’t know if time could go any slower. The second hand hardly seems to be moving.

Four minutes until the doors open. I glance back up at the clock. Why does time have to go by so slowly?

Three minutes until the doors open. Niall look up at me and starts to laugh, “Why do you keep looking at the cock? Waiting for Maura?” The rest of the boys laugh.

Two minutes until the doors opne. Gemma has a confused look on her face, “There’s two people in this band that like Maura?”

Harry looks up, “Gemma! I don’t like her like that!”

“Oh, yeah, and you told me you have a crush on her.”

“No! I had a crush on her when she was at our house.

One minute until the doors open. I can hear the girl screaming. But my heart is beating louder than them. I hear the countdown begin outside.

“10…”

“9…”

“8…”

“7…”

‘’6…’’

“5…”

“4…”

“3…”

“2…”

“1!”

The screams get louder each second.

Suddenly a mob of fans are walking past us. Some are cryins, some are screaming, and some are just smiling.

Every time a girl passes, I look up to see if she has the same bright blue eyes as the picture. To see if she has the long blonde hair.

Then girl pass and she hasn’t passed yet. I start getting worried. Gemma told us that she would be here towards the beginning.
