*Niall's P.O.V.*

"Ready to hit the stage guys?" Paul asked us.

"Yeah!" We all answered in unison before we huddled and put our hands together, just like we always used to do. We always say something and change it up with every continent we got to, so for North America we settled for: "1,2,3 we rock." As soon as we finished speaking we hugged each other and then we were raised up to the stage. I had forgotten how this felt, having by four best friends on stage with me, it was absolutely amazing. The first chords to No Control started playing and from then on, it was show time. I felt the adrenaline pumping through my veins as we all started singing. Even though we don't usually do a choreography we decided to do the No Control dance we did with James, Soph assured us that the fans would go crazy if we did, and she was absolutely right. As soon as we got into line and started doing the dance, I was able to hear the fans piercing screams even though I had both of my ear pieces in. Then they started dancing along with all of us, this had been a great song to open the show.

"Holy fuck." Louis mouthed to me once the song ended. 

"I know." I replied, still in shock. The stadium was completely full and all of the fans were screaming. I headed towards the right side of the stage for the next show and I spotted the girls, I waved at them and the whole section burst into yet another fit of screams, even though my wave was directed towards one girl only, my girl. When She saw the fans' reaction she burst out laughing and then waved back and smiled at me while I carried on with the song. 

*Sofia's P.O.V.*

When the opening video ended we all started screaming even louder, ready for the show to begin, all of the girls were screaming along with me and the rest of the fans. We were all really excited for the boys' first concert, specially Maya and me since we were directioners since the beginning of the band. And then the first chords to No Control started playing as the boys appeared on stage and the whole stadium lost it. I could see the boys' smiles from miles away, you could tell how happy they all were and how much they had missed performing together. No Control was one of my favorite songs, and it should've been a single in my opinion, so that's why I suggested to Niall that they opened the show with it, and he actually listened! I figured that if I could get them to sing the song, then during rehearsals I could convince them to do the dance, and I succeeded! Louis was very reluctant at first, but he ultimately agreed after a lot of pressure from the rest of the boys and us. When they started doing it, we all started doing it along with them and all of the fans screamed even louder, which to be honest, I didn't even think was possible. 

"This is amazing!". I hollered at Maya who was seating next to me.

"I know, I swear 13 year old me is dying."

"Well, 24 year old me is dying too." I told her laughing.

"Oh yeah, so am I. I honestly never thought I'd get to see the boys perform together again, much less do a whole tour again."

"Me neither. I can't believe this is happening."

"We can't believe it either." Three girls from in front of us suddenly turned around and told us, their eyes glistening with joy. I guess Maya and I were talking pretty loud and they overheard us, but I didn't mind it at all. I loved sharing my love for the boys with other directioners.

"We're so happy!" One of them continued.

"So are we!" I exclaimed before we all laughed. 

"Well, we'll leave you alone so you can enjoy the show." Another girl spoke.

"Enjoy the show as well." Maya told them before they turned around.

"I guess we're all really excited." Cami chimed in.

"Yeah we are." I laughed before we continued enjoying the show.

The show went by pretty smoothly and it was absolutely amazing. I loved every single moment of it, and yeah I even shed a few (a lot) of tears during Little Things, when I heard the whole stadium scream 'You Sing' along with Niall and I saaw his eyes get all watery, clearly overwhelmed with emotion. But he totally deserved it, he was absolutely incredible, just like the rest of the boys. I had also asked them to play Better Than Words and they had decided to include it in the setlist. I was so excited to see Niall's tss every single night and I was pretty sure that the rest of the directioners were going to be grateful to experience it too. The show was 2 and a half hours long, which is very long for a concert, but they wanted to make it extra special and thank the fans for supporting them all these years. They sang songs from their previous albums, from Made in the AM, from the new album, and they also sang a 10 minute long medley of their solo songs all together, it was literally the best concert I'd ever been to.

They left What Makes You Beautiful for the very end, since that was their first single, it held a special place in all of the boys' hearts, so that why they'd settled to close the tour with it. And I loved it, the way Liam kept trying to mess with Harry's shirt even after all of these years and the way that Louis defended him. And let's not forget the Lilo water fights, of course they had to be present, it wouldn't be a One Direction concert without them. I honestly thought that since it had been 6 years since the boys had last performed together, and they'd all had grown up, that their concerts would now be pretty different, but they weren't. It was as if they had been transported back to 2014 and 2015, because they boys acted pretty much the same, as if no time had gone by.

"Thank you for 11 incredible years with you guys." Harry spoke as the concert was coming to an end. 

"We want to thank you all for being here tonight with us." Louis continued.

"And sharing this moment with us." Zayn spoke.

"Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts." Niall added.

"We're One Direction, see you soon." Liam finished as they took a final bow and headed backstage.
