*Chapter 26: The First Concert*
*Ariel's POV*
*Three hours before the concert*
"AUBREY! LET'S GO! WE'RE RUNNING LATE!" I yelled up to Aubrey.
Simon decided that it would be a good idea to pick up Aubrey before we left for the concert, thinking that she would be able to hang out with the band. Yeah, well, he didn't think it would take her two hours to get ready.
"I'M COMING!" Aubrey replied as she came running down the stairs.
As Aubrey and I walked quickly to the bus, we bickered about how long it took her to get ready.
"Do you girls bicker about everything?" Zayn asked as we entered the bus.
"Yes." We replied in unison.
Everyone just laughed as I took a seat next to Louis on the couch. Louis immediately slipped an arm around me, still directing his attention to the TV. A few minutes later, I noticed that Aubrey was giving me a look.
"What?" I asked her in an uncomfortable tone.
"Nothing," she said as she continued to play on her phone.
Whatever.
*Three hours later*
"Guys, I don't know if I can do this." Louis said in a panic.
The boys are literally about to go on stage and I have never seen he boys so nervous.
"For the last time, you're going to do fine. You just need to relax." I told him.
"Louis, let's go! The others are already on stage." Paul yelled.
I quickly gave Louis a peck on the cheek.
"You're going to do great." I told him before running off to Paul. He currently has Amanda and I promised to watch her on this tour.
"Let me have her." I told Paul as he rushed Louis over, with Amanda in his hands.
"I got her for tonight. Go enjoy the first concert of the tour." Paul told me.
"Are you sure?" I asked him.
"Yeah, I've been to plenty of these shows." Paul replied.
I nodded and ran out to Aubrey.
"I thought you were watching you know who." Aubrey whispered as I walked up next to her.
"You know who has her." I replied.
We sort of don't want to give anything away, so we are currently not saying their names.
"Do you know what's going on tonight?" A girl asked from behind me.
"Sorry, I have no idea." I replied.
Suddenly the lights went out and all I could do was smile from ear to ear. Lights suddenly went on, on stage and all everyone could see was five silhouettes.
"What's going on?" The girl behind me asked.
I was about to answer, but it was too late. The music started playing and everyone in the room was so confused.
I think the song that they chose to perform first was the best choice.
Suddenly, a spotlight turned on above Liam and he began singing.
"[Liam]
So your friends been telling me
You been sleeping with my sweater
And that you can't stop missing me
Bet my friends been telling you
I'm not doing much better
Cause I'm missing half of me"
The crowd soon figured out what was going on and immediately started crying and screaming. They began to sing a long as the boys sang their song. As Liam sang he had tears in his eyes as he listened to the crowd scream while singing the song with tears in their eyes.
"[Zayn]
And being here without you
Is like I'm waking up to
Only half a blue sky
Kind of there but not quite
I'm walking round with just one shoe
I'm half a heart without you
I'm half a man at best
With half an arrow in my chest
I miss everything we do
I'm half a heart without you"
As soon as Zayn's spotlight came on, the crowd got even louder. I don't think they were expecting Zayn to be here, even though there was clearly five silhouettes up there.
After Zayn was done, Louis' spotlight came on and the crowd couldn't be happier.
"[Louis]
Forget all we said that night
No it doesn't even matter
Cause we both got split in two
[Zayn]
If you could spare an hour or so
We'll go for lunch down by the river
We can really talk it through"
Suddenly Harry's spotlight came on and everyone cheered.
"[Harry and Louis]
And being here without you
Is like I'm waking up to
[Harry and Zayn]
Only half a blue sky
Kind of there but not quite
I'm walking round with just one shoe
I'm half a heart without you
I'm half a man at best
With half an arrow in my chest
Cause I miss everything we do
I'm half a heart without you
[Harry]
Half a heart without you
I'm half a heart without you"
Just then Niall's spotlight came on and I think the crowd cheered the loudest for Niall. Wait till they hear about his kid.
"[Niall]
Though I try to get you out of my head
The truth is I got lost without you
And since then I've been waking up to
[Harry and Zayn]
Only half a blue sky (Only half a blue sky)
Kind of there but not quite
I'm walking round with just one shoe
I'm half a heart without you
I'm half a man at best (Half a man at best)
With half an arrow in my chest
Cause I miss everything we do
I'm half a heart without you
[Zayn]
Without you
Without you
Half a heart without you
Without you
Without you
[Harry]
I'm half a heart without you"
As soon as they were done singing the whole crowd started cheering. There wasn't a dry eye in the whole stadium. Even the boys were crying.
"I'm Harry Styles,"
"I'm Louis Tomlinson,"
"I'm Liam Payne,"
"I'm Niall Horan,"
"I'm Zayn Malik,"
"And we're One Direction." They all said in unison, causing the whole crowd to cheer even louder.
"So, you're all probably wondering why we're here right now and why we are doing a concert when we had our last concert three years ago." Niall said, causing the crowd to cheer.
They really cheer for everything.
"Well, don't worry, we're about to explain everything." Harry said, causing the crowd to laugh.
"So, the one and only Simon Cowell decided that he wanted to get back together for one last One Direction Reunion Tour." Louis replied, causing the crowd to cheer loudly.
"After deciding that, Simon and our new friend and a lovely fan of our, found us and explained everything to us." Niall said.
"Needless to say we all agreed and here we are." Zayn said, which caused the to scream loudly.
"Oh yeah, before we get to the next song, I just to to say one thing. Please don't put this on social media. We're kind of surprising everyone who is going to be coming to our concerts." Niall explained.
"Now that we have all that cleared up, let's get this concert started!" Louis yelled, causing the crowd to scream.
