"Let's go girlies!" I say before following Gia out the door and to the waiting cars. It's only a ten minute drive to the concert center and as we pass the front gate we see a huge line of people waiting to be let in. It's a whirl wind of people, make up, clothing, and lights the hour before the concert starts. Unlike some of our other shows, things run fairly smoothly. I'm wearing a purple chiffon strapless dress, with crisscrossing fabric in the front that flows into the skirt. The dress stops a few inches above my knees and has a natural waist line, the lavender color highlights my tan. Gia bounces on the balls of her feet making the three layered pale pink lace skirt of her dress move up and down with her, stopping above her mid-thigh. The corset style top is of the same material with another layer of lace peeking out the neckline. I grip her hand and she squeezes mine back. Kira walks over to us in a white to gray scaled dress with black straps crossing her mid-section and the neckline before cutting into four straps over her shoulders that meet in the back. Her dress, like mine, reaches just above her knees. The smile on her face is forced and I know I'm not the only one remembering dinner last night. Lily comes out of one of the doors to Gia's left in a red halter style dress that has a zipper down her front, stopping at her natural waist and flowing into the skirt of her dress that stops at her mid-thigh. Tori comes into view behind her and I almost laugh as I note that Lily is dragging the platinum blonde behind her. The dark midnight chiffon of Tori's mid-thigh flowing dress makes her pale skin and hair shine. The sweetheart neckline has a strand of crystals that flow into the straps and make her look girlier then I've ever seen her.
"And now all that we're missing is…" Kira doesn't finish her sentence she's staring straight ahead, with her mouth wide open. I whip my head to the right and my jaw goes slack for a second before I snap it shut.
"Girlie you look H.O.T. hot!" I say only slightly teasingly to Summer. She's wearing a t-shirt style black dress with off the shoulder sleeves and a gapping pocket on the bottom right side of the short skirt that only covers about half of her thigh, if that. She laughs at our expressions and soon we all start giggling at each other. Even though seeing Jayden for the first time in person since the break-up is still fresh in my mind, I'm trying to just enjoy the moment with my girls and not worry about anything, we're doing what we love with our best friends and that's all that matters.
"Alright girls let's get this show on stage and make our fans happy!" Kira says with a smile after we've calmed down.
"Girls don't forget that after the concert the contestant winners and their guests are going to be here and you have to be nice and pleasant so stay hydrated and make sure you eat something!" Amanda, our tour coordinator yells as she breezes by us.
"Okay we will but next time we get to review the questions and answers beforehand." Gia yells back with a roll of her eyes. I laugh; I mean seriously that whole ordeal was pretty stupid. However, we still are happy to meet any of our fans. We gather around the entrance to the stage in the center where we will be walking out. The crowd is already making a ton of noise and I know that the girls are just as excited as me.
"HB on three!" Tori says and we nod in agreement while locking pinkies with one another. Mine are locked with Gia's and Kira's, while they are also locked with Tori's and Summer's, whose are locked with each other's and Lily's.
"One," Tori, Summer and Lily say followed by Kira, Gia and I with "Two," We all share a glance before, "HB!"
"Let's do this!" Lily yells and we all take our places, the two big screens in front of us move to the sides and we step out onto the stage while our first single plays in the background and our names flash on the screens above us. We all step to the front of the stage and wave to all our fans, usually we start a concert with a song but since this is the town where it all started for our band, we figured we could change up the time line.
"What's up Avalon?" Kira asks into her mic and the crowd screams their responses.
"Are you ready for tonight?" Summer asks with a giggle at the noise level.
"We just want to take this moment to say hi and thank you to every single one of you out here tonight!"
"Whether you've been a fan since the beginning, or are here tonight to listen to us for the first time, we are extremely happy and grateful for you allowing us to do what we love!" Gia finishes for Tori.
"We sincerely hope you enjoy the show tonight and we can't wait to see you at on our next tour as well as just around town!" Lily adds.
"We couldn't do this without you all, and we are also extremely excited to meet some of the lucky wining contestants later tonight, we hope to eventually meet all of our amazing fans!" I finish with a huge smile to the crowd. I hear some shouts rise up from the rest when I mention the winners, but I can't pinpoint them in the massive crowd.
"Now without further ado, let's get this show started with our newest song 'Words I Couldn't Say'!" Kira says as we all take our positions with our instruments and start the concert.
Tori: In a book, in a box, in the closet
In a line, in a song I once heard
In a moment on a front porch late one June
In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon
Emily: There it was at the tips of my fingers
There it was on the tip of my tongue
There you were and I had never been that far
There it was the whole world wrapped inside my arms
And I let it all slip away
All: What do I do now that you're gone
No back up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say
Tori: There's a rain that will never stop fallin'
There's a wall that I tried to take down
What I should have said just wouldn't pass my lips
So I held back and now we've come to this
And it's too late now
All: What do I do now that you're gone
No back up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say
Emily: I should have found the way to tell you how I felt
Now the one I'm telling is myself
All: What do I do now that you're gone
No back up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say
Lily: What do I do now that you're gone
No back up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say
Tori: What do I do now that you're gone
No back up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say
It's always exhilarating singing in front of an audience and hearing our fans singing along to every single one of our songs. We sing about fourteen original songs as well as randomly throwing in a cover of some of our favorite songs. If I could do this every night I would, I'd be extremely exhausted during the day but I would still do it. We sing our final song called 'I Must Not Chase The Boys'.
Emily: Won't someone tell me what is happening to me
Why am I so misunderstood
Why can't they see
Now I'm caught between the devil and the angel
That I used to be
Gia: They say I'll understand it all in good time
But age ain't nothin' but a number in my mind
Goin' crazy with this push me pull me
Caught between wrong and right
All: I wanna give in to the woman in me
I wanna be someone they don't want me to be
The moral of the story is I got no choice
I must not chase the boys
Tori: I started writing down my deepest secrets
Seven days a week of truth and fantasy
Got the feelin' that the way my life is
Got to be prepared for changes
Gia: Won't someone tell me what is happening to me
Why am I so misunderstood
Why can't they see?
Now I'm caught between the devil and the angel
That I used to be
All: I wanna give in to the woman in me
I wanna be someone they don't want me to be
The moral of the story is I got no choice
I must not chase
I wanna go left but they tell me go right
Don't wanna be the little girl they kissin' goodnight
The moral of the story is I got no choice
I must not chase boys
Emily: They can try to make me write a thousand lines
But that won't ever change the way I feel inside
They've got their opinions but I just don't care
Cause that's not what I wanna hear
All: I, I must, I must not chase the boys
I, I must, I must not chase the boys
I must, I must, I must not.. .chase.. the boys
I wanna give in to the woman in me
I wanna be someone they don't want me to be
The moral of the story is I got no choice
I must not chase
Emily: I wanna go left but they tell me go right
don't wanna be the little girl they kissin' goodnight
the moral of the story is I got no choice
All: I must not chase... the boys
"Unfortunately that was our final song of the night." Lily starts, and the crowd yells variations of 'no'
"But thank you all so much for coming and supporting us all this time." Gia adds with a huge smile for the crowd.
"If the contest winners would just wait in their seats until the arena empties someone will come get you for the meet and greet!" Tori says with a sweet smile for the crowd.
"Everyone, thank you for coming tonight-" Summer starts,
"we hope to see you all soon, drive safely-"
"Thank you, we love you all, and have a great night!" I finish for Kira as smoke fills the stage and we disappear. However as we are making our way of the stage we all put our microphones back up and say "Love the HB's!" The responding cheer is probably the loudest we've heard all night.
Hope you liked this chapter! I promise to update soon! Please Review ~ CB
