chapter five:: the concert

i heard "senorita" by justin timberlake playing on kathryn's ipod while we waited backstage. i rolled my eyes.
"kathryn?" she took out her earphones. "we're at a mcfly concert."
"yeah... and?" she stuck the earphones back in her ears and clicked "play" on her iphone.
then i felt somebody's hands on my shoulders. i turned around to face him. danny.
"hi."
"hey. you excited?" he had genuine excitment in his eyes. "i'm pumped."
"so am i!!!!" dougie exclaimed, running down the hallway. apperantly his microphone was already on, beacause girls in the audience were screaming.
we were next to the curtains, not to far from the stage, standing next to the equiptment.
the boys were wearing normal guy clothes, i guess it was easy to "rock" that way.
it was around 6:45 and like i said earlier, the show started at 7:oo. yeep, so close. they had no starter band, just mcfly songs playing in the backround.
god, i was excited, more than you know. i've only seen videos of them playing live, and even that's not at least anywhere compared to THIS.
not only was i on tour with them, i could be on stage with them.
"what's, um, your first song?" isabelle, who was nervous, i guessed, looked at the ground and waited for an answer. she was the most shy at times, but i can control what i look like on the outside. acting.
"i think it's lies." harry, scratched his head and smiled slightly.
"you think?!" tom exclaimed.
"ummm, i know?" harry thought some more.
"you DO know!" tom was smiling, he was joking. we all laughed.
dougie said, "you know that we get pretty soggy after a show, right?"
we laughed again. "uh, yeah, doug!" kathryn laughed the hardest, and then she snorted which made us laugh more.
we saw rob walking toward us. "we're starding a couple minute early today."
"ooh, yay! free pizza!" dougie exclaimed. kathryn, isabelle, vanessa and i exchanged confused looks.
"whenever we start early or end early, i buy them food after the show," rob explained. "but doug, we have pizza everytime, let's let the girls pick."
"fine with me, what do you guys want?" dougie looked like he hoped it was pizza.
"let's wait until the end," i said. i just had food, and plus, i was nervous, so i didn't want to throw up on stage.
"well then, i'll go start this." rob walked out and people screamed. i was sure there were british people in the audience. people screamed when rob walked out.
"i'm proud to present mcfly!" he walked off, and when we turned around harry, dougie, danny, and tom were gone.
somebody was coming up from under the stage, and just like from just my luck, it was harry.
i heard a buzz, and then tom, danny, and dougie came, and they all started to sing "lies." it was just like the movie, only a different song when they got on stage.
"okay, now as most of you know, we picked one girl out of many to go on the american tour with us. that girl happened to be veronica kellings, and her three friends are here with us." cheers. jitters. yeesh. danny smiled and continued. "tonight, we're going to let them be on stage with us."
i went out, and in the first or second row was the girl who was talking about me in the auditorium. i smiled at her and she looked discusted. her friend was with her.
we all walked toward our picks, me, danny, isabelle, harry, vanessa, dougie, and kathryn, tom. it seemed simple enough.
"we're going to play a love song now," cheers from the audience. tom smiled at kathryn, and the audience. "all about you. i'm sure you know it." kathryn nodded. and then they started playing.
while they were getting ready, danny covered his microphone and whispered, "you play guitar, right?" i nodded. "this song, you know it?" i nodded, i knew all of the mcfly songs on guitar, and piano. he thrust the acoustic guitar toward me, and then the music started. i shook my head and handed it toward him. he shook his head, and the violin part ended. i played.
danny deemed to be singing to me. i smiled and he mouthed, 'you're doing fine.' i concentrated on the playing. after the solo [i made like, one mistake on it.] the song ended quickly for me. "it's all about you..." danny smiled and he said, "give it up for veronica!" everyone cheered. i smiled, and before i knew it, his lips touched my cheek.
"good job," he whispered. "another song? do you know, scilence is a scary sound?" i shook my head vigorisly.
"wayy to hard." he laughed.
"how about... i've got you?" i nodded. that one was easy.
tom turned to the microphone. "how about scilence is a scry sound, doug?" screams.
"i could deal with that." more screams, louder. i smiled. i shouldn't bother danny with this one, it was hard.
after the song finished, vanessa turned to me. she was out of breath because we were dancing, and she said, "ohmygod, this is SO cool!"
i agreed.
