Collision

Chapter Five

Louis Pov: I stared at the mic in my hand. There was a strip of blue tape around the handle to prevent me and Zayn mixing our mics up. My hands started to shake, if I fuck up out there on stage I could seriously fuck up Zayn's career as well as mine before it even starts.

"Nervous?" Says Zayn from behind me. He takes a drag off his cigarette exhaling smoke and offers the cigarette to me, which I take. "Don't worry Louis you will do great. So what song are you going to sing out there?"  He asks taking the cigarette back from me.

"I think I am going with one of the songs we wrote with some help but it was too pop for you. I figured if I am going to be a pop sensation I gotta start with pop." I tell him.

Zayn nods his head and blows out a fat cloud of smoke. "Well I just know you will steal all the girls hearts when you open for me." He says casually causing me to panic. I am not ready for this.

"Tomlinson you're on in 5 minutes. You better be ready." Shouts the tour manager from wherever he is. Fuck fuck fuck. I hold up my pointer to signal to Zayn that I need a minute and run off to where there is little people around. I whip out my phone and dial the phone number I know by heart and hear it ring and ring and ring.

"Hello?" Says a young voice on the other end. It was not who I was trying to reach but it still makes me smile.

"Phebes why do you have mum's phone. I love you but do you know where mum is I really need to talk to her right now."

Pheobe sighs and I can hear Daisy in the background asking if I am on the phone. "She is a bit busy right now. Why?" She asks.

Fuck I really needed to hear my mum right now. "Oh it's nothing, I gotta go soon anyways. Tell her I will call back later. I love you, now put Daisy on the phone. I can hear her wanting the phone."

"Hi Louis. I miss you so much when are you coming home?" Daisy says excitedly through the phone.

"I miss you guys too. I will be home soon don't worry. I just wanted to say love you girls. Say hi to Lottie and Fizzy for me. Talk to you soon. Bye"

The twins say there goodbyes and end the call after a back on forth you hang up. Shit I have a minute until I am on stage. I bolt for the stage, in the process I end up knocking over some lady carrying a bunch of clothes but I don't have time to apologize. I make it to the stage with 10 seconds to spare and the tour manager is yelling at me but I can't hear anything because my adrenaline is pumping through my ears. I can kinda here someone announcing that I am starting the show and all of a sudden I am being pushed on stage.

I stand there on stage with my mic awkwardly but thankfully music starts playing. Ignoring that there is thousands of people listening to me I give my whole thought and being into the music.

"Wish that you could build a time machine" I start to sing my voice very shaky. Pushing aside the nausea I keep singing. "So you could see, The things no one can see" Slowly it gets easier as I dive into the music. "Feels like you're standing on the edge, Looking at the stars, And wishing you were them"

-----------------

After I am done singing I immediately run to the nearest toilet and vomit the contents of my stomach up. Now that the adrenaline has left my body I feel shaky and tired. From the bathroom floor I pull out my phone and dial my mum's number. It rings twice until someone answers.

"Hey Louis, I am sorry I couldn't answer your first call Fizzy tripped and cut up her knee really bad. Is everything ok baby?"  I sigh it has been a while since I heard my mum's voice.

"Hi mum, I miss you..." I say unsure where to start. " I opened for Zayn tonight, it was amazing but scary all at once. I know I said I wouldn't do any singing cuz of bullshit contracts but I did it to protect Zayn."

There is a pause. "I miss you too.... and that's amazing sweetie and you were just doing what was right and that's why I love you." She says making me have a sad smile on my face, fuck I missed her so much. "Is there something else on your mind that you are not telling me about?"

Fuck she always could tell when I had something on my mind. Slowly I start telling her about the curly headed lad who is strange.

"It sounds like you have a crush." She says. Did I? There was something going on with that boy but he is cute and that stutter of his is just adorable.

"So what if I do there is nothing I can do about it. I don't even know his name." I say defeated.

"Darling if its meant to be you will find him again don't worry. Anyways when are you coming to visit? The girls miss you dearly."

"Soon we have a few more shows and then it will be home to Doncaster for a couple of months."

We chat back and forth for a bit until she has to put the girls to bed and we end the call. Fuck I hope that I would find that curly headed lad soon.
