Chapter Twenty-Three


Amber's POV

I see the remainder of the guys sitting on the chairs in the center of the room across from Chasity and Niall, so I decide to join them. I tell Lou that I'm going to join them and she agrees and shoos me off with smiles. Once I sit down next to Zayn, all eyes were on me, the group going silent, smiles plastered everywhere.

“What…?” I quietly ask. Everyone bursts into a fit of laughter, leaving me confused. What did I do? The heat begins to rise to my face, as I slump down in my seat slightly. "What did I do?" I asked out loud.

“Awe, Ambos. It’s nothing bad.” Chasity assures me through her laughter.

“Chase...” I mumble, crossing my arms in front of me.

“I’ll tell you later. Promise.” She tells me as she looks behind me quickly then looking back at me. We get into a light conversation, and soon the guys were equipped with their mics and doing last minute rehearsal on their songs, before a knock was heard on the other side of the door.

“Alright guys, show time!” Paul says, walking into the room, clapping his hands quite loudly. Lou shrieks.

“Give me a minute! I’m almost done with Harry’s hair and I still have to do Liam’s!” She says quickly, passing the brush through Harry’s hair at a quicker pace, receiving an ‘oww’ from him. I couldn’t help but giggle at his pouty face, as he rubs his hair, making it messier. “Sorry, Harry. If you wouldn’t hug Amber for so long and just get ready sooner I would have gotten this done sooner.” She says softly but sternly.

“Can I do it?” I asked, not thinking before I spoke. She looks at me with pleading/hopeful eyes. Well… No turning back now.

“Can you? It’s not much.” She says as she pulls out her phone, multi-tasking. She hands me her phone, Liam’s head displayed on the phone with a certain hair style. “Can you do that?” She asks me once more. I look at the screen more intently and realize it’s his usual look. I look at Liam, who was giving me a thumbs up before nodding at Lou through the mirror. I see Harry smiling at me, doing the same gesture.

“Sure.” I tell her with a smile. She sighs happily. “I do my sisters’ hair often, so this should be no biggie.” I shrug.

“Thank you, love. Here is a brush. You can just do it from his seat, I don’t mind. You just have to put in a small amount of spray before he goes. Thank you so much!” She says without looking at me. I nod and skip over to Liam who stood up straight on the couch. I got behind him and proceeded with his hair. Lou finishes Harry's shortly after and Harry shoots up from the chair, just as everyone else is escorted out the room. Harry walks behind me, snaking his arms around my waist.

“Wish me luck?” He whispers in my ear.

“Good luck. I’ll be watching.” I say to him.

“See you out there, enjoy the show.” He presses a gentle kiss to my hair before walking out, making me blush God knows how many times. Even better he was leaving Chasity, Lou, Liam and I in the room. Lou eyes me with the same grin from earlier.

“Well… I was not told of that…” Lou says slowly, approaching me with the hair spray. I retreat the brush from Liam’s head, and await for Lou’s approval. She looks around his head before nodding quickly. “Looks great, now, close your eyes Liam.” She instructs him. He did as he was told, Lou’s hand providing an extra barrier on his eyes before lightly spraying his hair. “Alright big boy. You’re done. Get out there!” She says happily before he runs out, but stopping at the door.

“Thank you Amber!” He smiles at me before speeding out. The countdown echoes through the hallways and so did Liam’s yell of ‘WAAAIIITTTT’. We all laugh from that.

“Come on loves, show’s starting.” She says as she pulls us by our arms and drags us out to off-stage where we could see them, but not have the fans see us. A couch was placed facing the stage, and a table of snacks were to the side. Chasity and I looked confused.

“We have seating tickets, though…” She told Lou, holding up the tickets. She looks at them for a moment before a light bulb goes off.

“Follow me.” She says as she quickly runs back to the hallways, passing by the guys who were doing an Irish chant in a huddled group. Harry looks at me and smiles as we followed Lou to the outside door, and watch Lou scan the area. She must have found what she was looking for because she began to run away from us.

“Lou?! Where are we going?” I call out to her from behind.

“Ladies, ladies wait!” She calls out to two girls walking away, stopping at Lou’s voice.

“OMG, it’s Lou!!!” They shriek, jumping in place. Once we caught up to them, they looked at us and shrieked even more. Lou calmed them down.

"You girls don't have tickets?” She asks them, with her smile. They’re smiles faded as they shook their heads.

“Do you want ours?” I asked them, holding out our tickets. Their eyes widened and their jaws dropped. They stayed silent for a couple seconds before shrieks and screams filled the air.

“Yes, yes, yes!” They chanted while jumping in place. I smiled and handed them the tickets.

“We should get back in there, the show is already starting.” Lou says, gesturing her hand back to the arena.

We got back inside and immediately a roar of cheers erupted as the guys began to sing Up All Night as their opening song. We showed the girls their seats, receiving hugs from them as they joined the thousands of other fans surrounding them. Tears of course started to spill from their eyes as they jumped around and sang along with the guys.

A hand tugged me slightly, none other than Chasity's, mouthing to head back to our spot, since it is pointless to yell over the screams. I nod my head and followed Lou out of the crowd, backstage, and back to our comfy couch.

“That was a good idea, Lou.” Chasity told her as she takes the bowl of fruit and picks off the strawberries.

“Hey, can’t waste good tickets. I would have thought that they would have let you guys stay here, and not in there.” She points out into the crowd. “Though it was a nice thing to do. It’s a good feeling, right?” She asks. We nod in agreement. The intro into Live While We’re Young started to play and I couldn’t help but scream and stand up, jumping in place with excitement.

"You're something aren't you?" Lou questions me, causing me to blush and look back at the stage, the guys' grins on full display as the roar of fans fill the air.

Liam starts his verse, as Lou and Chasity joined me in dancing around.

"Hey girl I'm waiting on ya, I'm waiting on ya
Come on and let me sneak you out out out out.
And have a celebration, a celebration
The music up, the windows down.”

Zayn takes over by walking to the center of the stage.

“Yeah, we'll be doing what we do
Just pretending that we're cool and we know it too.
Yeah, we'll keep doing what we do
Just pretending that we're cool, so tonight.”

“Here we go!” Liam yells out, causing the fans to scream louder as they all sing in complete harmony.

“Let's go, crazy, crazy, crazy 'till we see the sun
I know we only met but let's pretend it's love
And never, never, never stop for anyone
Tonight let's get some, and live while we're young
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh” They all do their individual dance.
“Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (and live while we're young)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Tonight let's get some”

“And live while we're young!” Harry starts to his arms around, waving to some people in the crowd, scanning all of the faces during the small instrumental. The fans go nuts, just as Zayn picks up the next verse.

"Hey girl it's now or never, it's now or never
Don't over think, just let it go
And if we get together, yeah get together
Don't let the pictures leave your phone (oh oh)"

“Yeah, we'll be doing what we do
Just pretending that we're cool, so tonight” Niall sings in a western accent before sticking his tongue out with his grin to the crowd as they all go back to the chorus.

“Let's go crazy, crazy, crazy 'till we see the sun
I know we only met but let's pretend it's love
And never, never, never stop for anyone
Tonight let's get some and live while we're young
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (wanna live while we're young)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Tonight let's get some!”

“And live while we're young!” Harry belts out. They all start do to the rowing dance with their mics during the instrumental. Lou, Chasity and I did the same thing, giggles in between, cheering them on.

"And girl, you and I
We're about to make some memories tonight" Zayn sings.

“I wanna live while we're young, you sing!” Louis points to the crowd with his microphone.

“We wanna live while we're young” We all sang as loudly as possible, bringing smiles to the guys as they sing the last line of the bridge, us doing some intense dances in our spots, singing along to them. The instruments stop for a moment, building suspense before playing again for the final chorus.

“Let's go, crazy, crazy, crazy 'til we see the sun
I know we only met but let's pretend it's love
And never, never, never stop for anyone
Tonight let's get some and live while we're young

Crazy, crazy, crazy 'til we see the sun
I know we only met but let's pretend it's love
And never, never, never stop for anyone
Tonight let's get some and live while we're young."

“You sing!" Niall says, pointing out to the crowd, dancing and jumping along to them singing.

“Wanna live, wanna live, wanna live while we're young”

“C'mon, young” Harry sings out.

“Wanna live, wanna live (wanna live while we're young)
Wanna live, wanna live, wanna live while we're young
Tonight let's get some” The boys point to Zayn as he sings.

“And live while we're young, woo! What's going on everybody??!!!” He ends the song as Niall mimics the drums ending the song.

“Woo!” Niall yells into the microphone. The crowd screams out loud and we join them.

And so the concert began.
