Chapter 9- The Fall Out

So ya. Another chapter! Thanks to everyone whos reading my story, I really appreciate it :)

~~~~~ SCARLETT POV

"I can do this, I can do this, I can do this" I kept repeating to myself while pacing around the room.

Niall asked me to sing on stage with the for Little Things. I said yes, but I don't even know why. Everytime Niall says something, it's like I'm a totally diffrent person. I don't even think of what I'm saying. And now, I'm committed to sing this song infront of 10,000 people. Joy.

I kept pacing back and forth when Zayn walked in.

"Hey, I heard your singing with us tonight." He said kinda sheepishly.

"Um, ya, I am."

" Oh, um, okay, well, just wanted to wish you luck. The opening act is starting in 30 minutes, and your voice is amazing, sound check went good." He said as he was about to walk out the door.

"Zayn?"

" Yea? What's up?" He said, I never noticed how beautiful his eyes were until just now.

"I don't think I can do this. How do you cope with singing infront of so many people?"

"We'll..." He said as he was walking back in the room towards me "You just have to be confident that you will do good, and not worry about everyone around you. Me and the boys will be there, and just act like its just us six up on stage alright?" He said with a small smile.

"Okay, I'll try" I said, while going in to give him a hug. Zayn's hugs are the most reassuring hugs in the world. He by far gives the best hugs ever! "Thanks"

"No problems, now come with me, we have to get you an outfit and hair and makeup done." He said while ushering me out the door.

While we were walking to the dressing room, I could already hear the girls screaming. It just made me even more nervous. For little things I wasn't stealing any of the boys parts, they told me to sing Louis' but I could never do that to them, so I'm just singing the 2nd chorus part. It might be a little part, but it was a big thing for me. I never sing in front of people, let alone 10,000 people.

When we walked into the room, 4 different people came rushing at me all at one time. Ingot plopped down in a chair faster than you can say "Kevin the pigeon" and they were already working on my hair. They wouldn't let me see myself until everything was done.

One Direction had two opening acts, and Little things was the 5th song they were singing, so we had a good 2 hours before I had to go on.

An hour passed and I was finally finished. When they turned me around to look at myself I couldn't believe my eyes. It didn't even look like me. My hair was in a side pony tail and curled with a few curls around my face, and my bangs in a perfect position across my forehead. There was the beautiful bow clip with flowers on it around the hair elastic keeping it all in. My makeup was extravagant. I looked like a doll. And my eyes looked huge and even brighter blue then they were.

I didn't even have time to sink it all in. Cause I was in the wardrobe room looking at a million different outfits. I tried on 12 different outfits,minutes none of them gave that wow factor. I was looking through the dresses when I found one.

"Wow" I said to myself. " can I try this one on?"

"Of course you can darling" the designer said with a smile.

I put the dress on and I knew it was the one for me. It flattered my figure in everyday possible. It wasn't much, but it was absolutely gorgeous. It was a short sequin one shoulder dress which was silver. And that's it. It was simple, but amazing. As i stepped out of the dressing room everyone's mouths dropped,

"Wow, that is beautiful!" Said the guy who was doing my hair.

"That is definatly the one!" Said my makeup artist

"Perfect. But it needs something. And that something. Is black heels." Proclaimed my designers. "Here, put these on, it will be perfect!" She said handing me the shoes.

I put them on and I instantly felt like a million dollars. Just as I was about to look in the mirror. The stage director came in.

"We need you now Miss.Lawrie" he said while escorting me to the stage entrance

Okay Scarlett. You know all the words, you have good advice from Zayn, now just be calm. Just breathe and pretend there's no one in the room I kept saying to myself.

"So today, I met this amazing girl" said Niall, and everyone started to boo him! Oh Niall, that was not a good thing to say! "And she is going to help us sing a song tonight! Come in out Scar!" He said like he didn't even notice the booing.

I couldn't move. My legs just froze, and I just stuck to the ground. I felt a little nudge then stumble onto the stage.

"Wow, thanks!" I said sarcastically to the stage director. Thank god nobody saw.

I was walking into the stage and all I could see we're bright lights and only the first row of faces. That could of been me. I looked up and saw Niall and the boys with big smiles across their faces. Then everyone started to cheer and scream. I could hear a few boo's but it didn't really matter, I was doing this and there's no backing down now.

"You look amazing" Niall said whispering it into my ear. I felt my cheeks get all hot and looked into his blue eyes and have him a smile.

"Thanks, so do you"

"Alright, so this is a song, that a certain ginger made for us" said Harry as everyone started to cheer " This is Little Things by Ed Sheeran!"

The first few notes began to play, and then everything went black.
