Chapter 1
The day was finally here! Today was the day me and my bestfriend Kess were going to see them, front row. We blasted 'What Makes You Beautiful' in my mum's car as she drove us to the venue. The gates were going to open at 7pm but we went early just in case.
I looked at my watch and it was '5.05'. We got out of the car after I hugged my mum goodbye and walked together towards the concert venue. I was shocked to see that there were already so many fans waiting there. We went to join them and stood near the gates as we held our tickets like they were gold.
I was so excited beyong words. I was finally going to see them! Like every other fan, I had dreamt of this day as soon as the judges on X-Factor put them all together. But I'm not going to lie, I had always been rooting for Niall and Harry. I remembered when they didn't get through and Tom Richards was called out. I screamed so loudy for them and I was tearing but when they were called back and put through I just went all hysterical. We all stood huddled together with people we didn't even know.
All the girls around me were so tall which made me feel kind of intimidated. They all held up hand made banners and posters for them. At that point I just felt so guilty; like I wasn't a good fan. I just had my last examination four hours ago and even getting my mum to agree on letting me go was near impossible. I had been so busy the entire week to even make anything. Luckily I had a shirt with them on it that was from a tumblr giveaway.
We all waited as we sang and talked to one another. It was quite funny how we could talk to just about any other fan even though we had never ever met till that very moment.
'Alright girls, gates open. Don't run, don't push'. 'Yeah right' Kess said as she held my gloved hand in hers and rolled her eyes. There was an ear-piercing scream followed by a thunderous chorus of screams as everyone tried to push their way to be the first few.
We finally got in and thank goodness Kess held my arm all the way through if not I'd probably had lost her in everyone. We rushed down the steps to the Category A seats we bought. It felt as though we were almost flying down the steps. We dumped our bags on our seats and stood up as the entire crowd did.
The house lights started to fade off slowly and soon we found ourselves screaming fanatically. The stage was huge from where we were standing and it was so up close. The intro of 'Forver Young' starts playing and me and Kess immediately start dancing along with the entire crowd.
They then appeared as a circle of the stage rose up and Liam was leading. The screams got louder and louder. We all sang along and soon, they were walking off stage! They were so close to us so we stuck our hands out in hopes that they would hold it. 'Oh my goodness, they were so close'. 'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE YOU HARRY' Kess yelled as they passed her. At that moment, I didn't even notice that Zayn had grabbed my hand. We both started freaking out and jumping around. It was so amazing! I actually touched Zayn Malik's hand! I never would wash that hand ever.
The song came to a close as they went back up the stage. As soon as the song ended, there were huge and insanely loud fireworks exploding behind them. 'Thanks so much for coming guys, we love you!' Liam said as they waved at everyone. The stage lights faded and came on again. The guitar intro of 'Chasing Cars' started playing and everyone started screaming again. I was sure that I was tearing by then. This song reminded me of Abel...
It was the last day of school and the holidays were here! The school bell rang and the entire scholl burst out into cheers and students raced out of their clasrsooms and down the crowded hallways. I ran out of the class to find Abel already waiting for me. He smiled at me and extended his hand. I held it and we walked out of school together. He walked me back to my house when a car went up the sidewalk and hit him. I blanked and all I could hear were the sounds of people screaming and an ambulence. I turned to my left and saw him. There was blood all over his face and his body was contorted but he was still holding my hand. I cired and cried but when the ambulence came, it was already too late. I sang this song at his funeral. It was the first time I ever sang in front of anyone but it was his favourite song.
I recalled every moment that we had shared together. The first time we met, prom, our birthdays, our first kiss, his death. I felt a tear build up in my eye and soon I was bawling my eyes out and I couldn't stop. I wasn't even enjoying myself anymore. I closed my eyes and reached for Kess's hand as I looked down. I held it tight and tried to calm myself. 'Kat? Kat? Kat!' I knew Kess was calling me but I just nodded my head. I was still crying though, I just couldn't help it. She put her hand around my shoulder and tried to help me.
It suddenly became hard for me to breathe. It was as though there was something stuck in my throat. I was gasping for air and chocking at the same time. I started coughing uncontrollably and my chest started to hurt. 'Kat?' I was falling to my kness as I clutched my shirt. The pain was getting too intense and I just couldn't breathe anymore. I could hear my heart beat louder and louder. I felt Kat's arms let go of me and then, there was silence...
