MILEY POV

I pursed my lips and glanced over my reflection in the mirror one last time, feeling content with the outcome of an hour's hard work on my hair & makeup.

"Emma, are you ready to leave? Otherwise we're going to be late" I called out impatiently to my best friend, whilst still staring at my reflection, trying to improve it in any way possible.

"Miles its you we're waiting for! I've been ready for half an hour!" she laughed.

I smiled, "Ok let's go" I turned around finally feeling pleased and confident with my appearance.

The second I saw Emma, every single ounce of confidence I had just felt, escaped my body. She looked stunning, and as close to perfection as anyone was going to get. Emma Watsom had that typical English look to her, and she played it off perfectly. In just a pair of skinny jeans with a shirt and ballet pumps, she looked breath taking. And to me, it wasn't fair. Suddenly my ripped jeans with a white tank and jewellery looked like rags I could have stolen from a homeless shelter. I sighed and walked out of my room, followed by Emma, to inform my parents we were leaving. "Bye, mum. We should be back around 11 or 12- depending what time the concert finishes" I called out. My mum, came bounding in "Have fun tonight girls! You two look beautiful!"

I smiled and thanked her, despite my very contradictory beliefs.

"Bye Tish!" Emma called as we left the house. Shortly after, we arrived at the venue, and smiled at the huge flashing sign in front of us that read "The Gray Brothers: In London"

We walked up to the box office and began to queue, "I can't believe your Aunt pulled this off to get us passes to the after party!" I heard Emma whisper excitedly beside me. "Yeah, should be fun" I replied casually, attempting to appear calm and unbothered, though really I was just as, if not more excited than Emma.

We got to the box office and received our passes, walking into the screaming arena, and secretly rejoicing every time I saw the shocked looks on other girls faces as we walked past with our 'VIP' passes hanging round out necks.

We had incredible seats, right next to the stage, definitely viewable by the gray brothers, which only added to the anticipation and excitement. Finally at around 9:30 the gray brothers came to the stage and the whole arena went crazy. Multiple times throughout the show, I was certain I saw Nick, the youngest brother, looking in our direction, but simply assumed he must have been looking at Emma, or any of the other dozen fans around us. Although I still hoped that maybe, he had noticed me.

About an hour and a half later the gray brothers were singing their final song, and honestly, although the concert had been great, it was this part now I was looking forward to the most; The after party.

The stadium began to empty, with thousands of screaming and crying fan girls filing out. When the stadium was almost empty we began to make our way towards the v.i.p lounge. Eventually we found it and pushed the door open to reveal…

…. A bunch of adults drinking and laughing loudly while a DJ created a beat in the background. Far from the glamorous image I had imagined of the gray brothers chilling out in a modern, clean cut sharp lounge with their band, and a couple other music industry insiders. Emma & I both glanced at one another, the same look of disappointment spread across our faces as there was no signs of the gray brothers.

We approached the bar to get some drinks when I heard a familiar voice, "Uhh, Please can I get two bottles of water?" My eyes shot up to reveal a smiley, energised Joe Gray. I felt my jaw drop and nudged Emma, oblivious to the fact that she was standing next to him, with her back towards him. I mouthed, "Joe's behind you, turn around" and she did as I instructed, 'accidentally' knocking into him as she turned, "Oh, I'm really sorry, I didn't see you." He said, focusing on the drinks that had just been handed to him. He was about to turn to walk away when Emma replied "Oh don't worry, that was my fault" he looked up and she instantly caught his attention and smiled.

"Hi, im Joe" I heard him introduce himself

"Emma" she responded, and the conversation grew from there, with me still standing next to Emma, like an awkward third wheel. Emma eventually introduced me, but the encounter was brief and they clearly had a lot to talk about so I walked away in search of the grey brother that I'd wanted to meet.

I'd been walking around for a good 15 minutes, seen both Kevin and Joe, but there was no sign of Nick and I began to worry that maybe he wouldn't show up. Various reasons and excuses for his absence began to swirl around my head, and I eventually came to the conclusion that he was probably writing a song, or sleeping on their tour bus. The disappointment was beginning to set in when the door creaked open and I saw the face I'd been hoping for, looking shy and hoping that his entrance was discreet. I glanced over to the bar, where I saw Emma & Joe, still laughing and talking. I decided to be brave, and began walking towards him…
