Where We Left Off (Louis Tomlinson)

Chapter 9

Perrie sneaks over to me in the audience and slips into Louis's abandoned seat. "You looked lonely."

I twist in my seat, thankful that I'm no longer sitting by myself. "Louis told me I could join them backstage, but I wanted to see them perform."

Perrie raises an eyebrow. "Most girls would jump at the opportunity to see them backstage."

"Not me. I'd rather see them like this. Besides, we are six rows from the stage. When will I ever be this close again?" I play with the bottom of my dress.

"Probably every concert they have. Are you forgetting that you are dating Louis?" Perrie quickly chuckles as the lights in the arena dim.

The host of the awards show, Adam Levine, walks onto the stage with his microphone in hand. "The next act to perform is the biggest boy band in the world right now. Girls all over the world go crazy about them and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a fan of them. Performing one of their latest songs off of their new album, Midnight Memories, One Direction!"

Adam Levine jogs off the stage as all of the lights go off and I anxiously shift in my seat. Louis never told me what song they were singing because he wanted it to be a surprise. Five white lights flick on the guys, each one with their heads down. They completely changed their outfits when they were backstage, now they are wearing more rock and roll outfits. The music to Midnight Memories starts up and they all snap their heads up at the same time.

Louis locks eyes with me, a grin tugging up on his lips as Harry sings his part. I jump to my feet, not caring if I'm the only one standing. The grin on Louis's face widens at me. Perrie stands up next to me, cheering.

Louis wraps his hands around the microphone on his stand. "Tell me that I'm wrong, but I do what I please. Way too many people in the Addison Lee. Now, I'm at the age when I know what I need, oh, whoa."

Oh, gosh. Louis singing is one of the most attractive things ever.

Perrie pokes her finger into my side. "He can't take him eyes off of you."

The boys move around on stage with broad grins in their faces. Perrie and I are dancing and singing along at our seats,not caring if we are being obnoxious. My boyfriend is on stage and I will cheer him on if I want to. Niall really gets into his part and a lot of girls in the room scream, which is pretty fun because they are all celebrities. It's weird to see celebrities freak out over each other.

Their performance eventually ends and everyone stands up to clap for them. I'm so proud of them. Adam walks back the stage, where the guys are all standing.

"That was an incredible performance, boys." Adam stands next to Harry and Liam.

"Thank you." Liam speaks into the microphone, smiling at the crowd.

"One Direction is nominated to win three awards tonight. Are you excited, Louis?" Adam hands the microphone to my boyfriend.

Louis grips the microphone in his hand. "We've worked really hard to get to where we are now and to even just be nominated is a huge honor."

Adam takes the attention back to him, announcing a commercial as the boys wander off stage. Perrie and I settle back down in our seats, happily. I definitely do not regret my decision to stay out here instead of going backstage. Yes, being backstage would have been amazing because I could have hugged Louis right away, but I loved being able to see them perform.

About ten minutes later, the boys are walking down the aisle to the two of us. I jump to my feet, embracing Louis in a hug when he reaches me. He changed back into outfit from before.

"I'm so proud of you." I whisper into his ear. "You were incredible up there."

Louis tightens his hold on my lower back with his arms. "Thank you. I was trying to look at all of the cameras, but I was having a hard time keeping my eyes off of you." Louis admits, pulling me down to our seats.

"Aria's got quite a voice on her." Perrie tells Louis from where she is standing next to Zayn.

"What? No, I don't." I shake my head.

Louis raises an eyebrow. "I didn't know you could sing."

"That's because I can't." I retort.

Everyone returns back to their seats and Zayn sits back down on my left side. I smile at him, while Louis grabs my hand in his. I never would have thought I would be sitting here, surrounded by celebrities. If I still lived in Florida, I would be working as a Disney character right now. My life changed so quickly.

Louis grips my hand tightly in his, waiting to hear who wins the Video of the Year award. They are up against Fun, Demi Lovato, Justin Timberlake, and Mackelmore. The guys are all anxiously waiting for Adam to announce the winner. This is the biggest award of the show and I know how badly they want it.

Adam Levine opens the envelope, slowly. "One Direction!" He shouts into the microphone.

The guys jump to their feet, screaming happily. I cover my mouth with my hands, ecstatic. The five of them form a tight knit circle before practically running to the stage to claim their award. The sound of the applauses is blocked out by my happiness for the boys. They've been talking about wanting this ever since they found out they were nominated.

"We just wanted to thank our management, our family, and everyone that has helped us get to where we are today. We couldn't have done it without any of you." Niall talks into the microphone with tears in his eyes.

Author's Note:

Don't hate me, alright? I know that this is insanely short, but I just couldn't force myself to write anymore. I tried really hard to, but nothing worked. I'm so sorry!

I just find it so hard to update my One Direction stories. I wish I could still update them.

This is my third Christmas gift to you guys. So, Merry Christmas!

Question: I can't think of one. Just tell me what you thought?

So, yeah.
