:D HAI GUISE.
THEATERLOVER IS HAPPY FOR NO APPERENT REASON. Hehehehehhehe :)
Third chappie! :) R&R!
Sooooooo backstage and before the concert are probably not actually like this, but this is how I imagine it :D
Disclaimer: I own no bands. Not Big Time Rush or any other ones.
I sat straight up, my fists up, ready to punch. Luke jumped three feet in the air and away from me. "Whoa, there," He said. "Calm down. They wanted me to send you into Jackie's room."
He offered a hand to help me up, and I grasped his wrist in a circus grip. He clutched my wrist, and pulled me up. I let go of his hand and trudged towards Jackie's room, checking my watch. It was eight. We had three and a half hours left before we left.
When Jackie saw me awake, she pushed me towards the bathroom and then quickly brushed through my hair. I took a shower while Jackie and Megan did themselves up, and then when I got out, Megan brushed my hair again. It was already bouncing back into its curls. Jackie turned on Pandora while we readied ourselves, and we all sang to Green Day and Big Time Rush.
Jackie straightened my hair, and then pulled it up into pigtails. Then she put glitter in it and had me shake my head. Glitter flew around the room, but it made my hair sparkle awesomely. Then she put on some teal-ish eyeliner, which really bought out blue eyes. She put on mascara and did my nails, and some lip gloss. Then she let me change while she continued her own appearance.
I pulled on my red jeans and my shirt, finishing my outfit with my converse. I saw Megan finishing her make-up; she was wearing a dark grey off the shoulder top and black flare jeans. She had heel boots on. Jackie came out of the bathroom wearing Vans and jeans that were rolled up to just below her knees and a tight shirt that really showed off her figure. Her hair was curled, and she checked the clock. It was 11:00. We headed for the kitchen.
Luke was sitting on the counter, drinking a glass of water. We passed him and each grabbed an energy bar. Luke just sat there for a moment, and when we were headed out of the room he groaned and jumped off the counter, standing in the doorway and blocking our way out.
"So." He said, taking a sip of his water. "You guys are going to go backstage and then you get to sing with a boy band." He poked at me.
"Yeah." Jackie said. "Can you move?"
"Wait." He said, holding up his hand. "I just needed to tell you guys. Be careful." His green eyes were very solemn, and we got that he was serious.
"Alright." We each said in turn.
"Okay." He said quietly, and then moved to side to let us by.
"What was that?" Megan asked when he was back in the kitchen and we were in the bedroom, getting a bag ready.
"He's just a caring person." I shrugged. Jackie just shrugged as well.
We sat on the bed for ten more minutes, until finally it was time to go. We climbed into Jackie's mom's car, and started driving towards the concert.
"Jackie," I whispered. My fears again assaulting me and making me feel kind of dizzy.
"What?" She asked, hearing the panic in my voice.
"Is this make-up waterproof?"
"Of course. Why?"
"I'm sweating bullets."
"Don't worry; you are going to do amazing."
"Yeah, you're going to rock the whole place." Luke said from the passenger seat.
I threw a piece of paper at his head.
"Where did you get that?" He asked, laughing and picking it up off of the floor.
"It was on the floor," I laughed. Megan and Jackie joined me in laughing. Luke just tossed the paper ball over his shoulder, and it nailed Megan in the eye.
"Hey!" She protested, and then punched him on the shoulder.
Jackie's mom confiscated the paper, laughing along with us.
Before anything else crazy could happen, we arrived at our destination.
I climbed out of the car, and me Jackie and Megan just stood there for a moment, trying to decide where to go. Jackie's mom wished us luck and drove away, with promises that she would return with a video camera. I smiled
We stood at the door that was labeled backstage for three minutes, when a big black car drove up. At this point, Megan and Jackie were deep into a game of Slide Baby, and they were both complaining about their hands hurting. "Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, one, two, three…" They screwed up, giving each other high fives and laughing as they realized sixteen was the highest they have ever gotten.
Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan jumped out of the car, and head for the door. Kendall's eyebrows starched up high. "You guys been here long?" I could see his eyes taking in our appearances.
"Nah," I shrugged, "Like five minutes."
"Ah." He said, opening the door and leading us inside, and then to a dressing room. "Megan and Jackie, you two can chill here for a while," Carlos said, glancing at Megan. She looked like she was about to have a heart attack.
Kendall put an arm around my shoulders. "You are coming with us." He said playfully. I waved goodbye at Megan and Jackie as Kendall pulled me away. I chuckled, and they joined in. Before we could get to the hall, a large man stepped in our way. I cowered away from him, because, being short, I felt very threatened around super tall people. He was a good two heads taller than me.
"This is Tom, our backstage, well, director sort of." Carlos said.
"Hello Tom," I said quietly, shaking his hand.
"Hello Kat." He responded, and then led us into the back, where there was what looked like a soundproof room. "Alright, Kat, we would like you to go stand in the room and put on the headphones. Just sing along to the music, Kat."
I did what he said, but only after I looked back at the guys and Kendall and Logan both gave me a thumbs-up.
I pulled the headphones tight over my ears, and I could see the guys standing in the back of the room. I couldn't hear them talking though, even though their mouths were moving. I guess it really was soundproof. Music started up through the headphones, and I recognized the song Music Sounds Better with U.
I sang along, knowing my voice was carrying louder than it sounded like it was today. Apparently my voice was good today, judging by the expressions of the people on the other side of the glass.
Suddenly the music cut off. I pulled off the headphones. "Alright Kat, do you want to try it on the stage?"
"Sure." I said quietly.
They led me out to the stage and I almost had a panic attack. This place was huge! I froze, and then took a step back. I bumped into someone, and his hands wrapped themselves around my shoulders.
"You okay?" Kendall asked me.
Too frightened even to lie, I shook my head, a little bit of glitter falling out and drifting to the floor. He moved me to the side and put his head over my shoulder to look at me. He was a little less than a head taller than me, so I looked up at him. "You're going to do fine." He assured me.
I looked back out at the stage, not quite as sure as he was. He saw my expression and wrapped his arms all the way around my shoulders, hugging me and resting his chin on top of my head. He pulled me up against him and said, "Don't worry. When the lights are up, you can't even see the audience."
He turned me around and started putting an earpiece on me, and I realized we weren't alone. Logan, earpiece already on, waved at me, and then continued putting Kendall's earpiece on. Logan smiled, and Kendall winked at me.
My heart stopped.
Kendall Schmidt just winked at me. KENDALL SCHMIDT.
After a minute, my heart restarted, bumping out a jagged rhythm. He chuckled softly, because his fingers, which were brushing against my neck as he tried to get the earpiece to stay right, most likely fully aware of my pulse, and he could probably actually see it.
He finished adjusting the earpiece, and then he slipped the small wireless headset pack in my pocket.
"I like your shirt," He commented, batting my pigtail and sending it swinging, walking out onto the stage.
"Alright!" Tom announced as Logan pulled me onto the stage by my wrist. "Kat, you are allowed to sing five songs. Melanie here, say that the ones in your range are…" He patted the shoulder of the lady standing next to him, and she handed him a paper. He read songs off of it. "Show Me, City is Ours, Music Sounds Better with U, Worldwide, Paralyzed, Nothing Even Matters, Til' I Forget About You, and Big Night. So, for one song, you get to sing the lead the whole time, and the others you can lead with one of the boys. Which ones would you like to sing?"
I listed five of them, choosing Paralyzed for my lead song because that was like my most favorite song ever.
"Alright, you can sing Paralyzed second. And… Nothing Even Matters with Kendall, Show Me with Logan, Worldwide with James, and City is Ours with Carlos. Is that okay?"
I nodded. "In that order?"
He shook his head. "First, the boys will sing Til' I Forget About You, and then we'll introduce you, and you can come out. Then you'll sing with James."
Worldwide, I thought.
"And then you can sing by yourself,"
Paralyzed,
"And then with Carlos,"
City is Ours,
"Logan,"
Show Me,
"And last with Kendall."
Nothing Even Matters.
"And then we'll give you an exit, and you can watch the show from backstage."
I nodded. "Sounds good."
"Okay!" A guy came out onto the stage, dressed in kind of creepy tight clothing.
Tom had his nose on a clipboard. "I'm going to leave you guys with Jake here, and then we can go…" He rambled on and on as he walked off the stage.
"Allllllllright." Jake said, coming over. "We are only going to choreograph Kat into two songs, and then you can just go with it for the other three." He looked at me, and I shrugged and nodded. "Kay. We are going to choreograph Paralyzed and Nothing Even Matters."
He tossed me a hand microphone; I caught it and flipped the switch to on as he gave the guys each one. I followed him to the front of the stage, and he placed me in the very center front. The house lights dimmed, and the stage lights came up, bathing the stage in light and heat.
Paralyzed started playing over the speakers, and I started singing, knowing the words and timings even without the recorded voices. I followed Jake's instructions, crossing the stage on certain parts, and raising an arm in certain parts. I had it down after three times, and then we moved on to Nothing Even Matters. I had that one down after five times, because it was harder to remember, but then I had it. Then we just sang through the next three songs, and they told me to just go with it. I did, and it worked out pretty dang well.
Right when it ended, Tom came out on the stage and herded us into the back, where he started getting the guys ready for the meet and greet. Megan and Jackie attacked me, telling me how amazing I sounded.
I started heading for the dressing room with them, but Kendall grabbed the back of my shirt. "Where are you going?"
"The dressing room. Why?" I asked, completely confused.
James took a step forward, and said, "You are going to do the meet and greet with us."
Heehehehehhehe :D
