I do not own Union J or George but please don't steal my ideas because they are mine and not yours. Thank you very much! I love feedback!
I was just a fan. Plain and simple. But I wasn't any fan. I was a JCat. And I was unashamed to admit that. To be a JCat was something to be proud of, to be honoured to be able to call yourself that. But then it all changed, I'd gone to their concert and everything had gone so different, in such a good way!

'Come on or we're going to be late!' my best friend Kat shouted at me as I gathered my stuff together into my bag. We shared a small-ish flat in central London and the rent was astonishing. But together we got by, and we'd even saved up enough to go and see our favourite band live tonight. Union J. It was their first tour and excited was an understatement.
'We're not going to be late!' I shouted back at her but glanced nervously at the clock on my dresser all the same. Sure enough, I was right, we weren't going to be late. I was completely on schedule, Kat was just worrying as per usual! I threw my purse into my bag and told myself to buy a bottle of water on the way.
I threw my bag over my shoulder and walked out of my bedroom, shutting the door firmly behind me. I locked my bedroom door quickly and walked into the small living room to find Kat standing impatiently. 'Come on! We don't want to be late and miss the beginning!' she said anxiously.
'Kat, it's going to be fine! We're not late! We have loads of time!' I reassured her before switching off the light and leading her out. 'You have the keys?' I asked her and she nodded. Although Kat was a year older than me I was still the one always checking that we were in check, I supposed it was down to my paranoid-ness. I was constantly looking over my shoulder. Especially after I broke up with my nasty ex, Sam. The break up hadn't been pretty.
I locked the front door and we began to walk towards the venue. It was about a half an hour walk from where we lived, it was a small intimate gig that not a lot of people knew about. We'd been lucky enough to get front row tickets at not that expensive a price and we were so excited at how close we would be to the boys. The January air was cold against our faces and made us shiver involuntarily but we pursued walking through the night, until we reached the small venue.
We showed our tickets and were shown to our seats on the front row. It was a lot smaller than I was even expecting it to be! But I liked that. It meant it would be more intimate with the boys. We took our seats and I could see Kat's leg bopping up and down with excitement.
'Excited?' I asked her and she didn't answer, simply nodded with the biggest grin I've ever seen on her face. We were sat for roughly ten minutes before the house lights dimmed and a cheer roared through the crowd. It amazed me how even a small crowd could make such a noise for the boys. I clapped and cheered along with them, the stage was only a little higher than my seat and I could only see acoustic guitars. This was going to be a really simple and beautiful performance I could tell.
When the boys walked onto the stage it suddenly became very real, I couldn't believe I was this close to Union J! They were truly beautiful! But my favourite, had always been George. He had a certain kind of beauty that enthralled me right to the end. I devoted as much of my life to him as humanely possible. I adored his very existence. Here in the flesh he looked more gorgeous than ever. I clapped and cheered along with the crowd and stared between the boys, my gaze often lingering on George.
Once the applause died down Jaymi grabbed a mic and sort of laughed into it, 'Hi everyone!' Another bout of applause errupted and the boys laughed, I couldn't help but laugh along with them as I clapped. They were just so perfect. Jaymi introduced their first cover, one they'd done on the X-Factor, their cover of 'Fix You'. It had always been beautiful to me and this simple accoustic version moved me almost to tears. It was stunning. I felt goosebumps prickle up my arms and once the song was done I was almost sure I was going to cry. This feeling wasn't helped as George took the mic from Jaymi.
'Okay guys...' he said and I felt every girl in the place sigh in a pleasant way, 'For our next song we each want to pick a girl from the audience to sing to.' My heart started pounding. Imagine if he chose me?! It would be amazing! But my hopes were crushed almost instantly and my heart sank, there were about a hundred other girls in this room, there was such a little chance that George would choose me. I looked over to Kat and it looked as if the exact same thoughts were running through her head.
'Come on...' I muttered under my breath. Jaymi chose first and even though we all knew about him and Olly he picked a girl from the audience with jet black hair and bright blue eyes. She was stunning, they were obviously going to go for the most beautiful girls which meant that Kat would be in with a chance but I had no hope. I was plain, I had reddish brown hair which I tried to kid myself shone in the light and sea green eyes. I was smallish for my age and had a side fringe which I was constantly pushing from my eyes. I had no hope.
Josh picked a bubbly, blond girl in skin tight jeans. I didn't have a good figure, I wasn't overweight but I had a small amount of unpleasant chubbiness about me. Kat was skinny enough, I prayed that she'd be picked although I knew I'd have to put up with the constant babble of talk about it later, but I'd be happy for her. JJ was up for choice, I held my breath. I knew he was Kat's favourite and as I glanced at her I knew she was sitting up straighter, hoping to get noticed. I crossed my fingers for her and sure enough I watched her delighted expression as JJ chose her from the crowd. She let out a little shriek and I kept my eyes on her, clapping along with everyone else, a little half-heartedly. I couldn't hide my slight disappointment that she'd been picked and I wouldn't be. I kept my gaze on her, not even looking at George as he picked his stunner from the audience. But as I watched Kats face light up and grin as George pointed and said 'you' to his lucky girl. She couldn't have been picked twice, so why was she so happy? Stood beside her beautiful JJ, they almost looked like they could be a couple. I sneaked a glance at George and my jaw dropped.
He was looking directly at me, and pointing.
