As the three of us made our way to the queue (only just inside!) a million thoughts rushed through my head- Why the hell am I helping Ally, I could've lied. Why the hell do they like this band. Why is this my life now, waiting around? All of a sudden, the line started to move. We shuffled forward, and crashed into the person in front. "Oh my god, sorry!" Chloe said instinctively, she always had the politeness of the three of us. "It's fine, so how long have you been waiting?" The girl said. "Long enough." I mumbled, and Ally elbowed me in the stomach. "About half an hour, you?" Ally said, and the girl replied "About forty minutes, but it'll all be worth it! I'm Emily by the way." Chloe replied immediately. "Hey Emily, I'm Chloe, this is my best friend Ally and her sister Ashleigh." Emily smiled and
opened her mouth. Before any words could come out, someone grabbed my arm. "Hey what are you doing here? You need to be backstage! They're waiting!" A voice from behind me said. I was then yanked away from Ally, Chloe and Emily and was pulled towards the front of the room. I got a few weird looks, before I was pushed into a secluded room I didn't even know was there. Standing there were 5 boys and 3 girls. "Umm, hi" I decided to say, because the silence was killing me. "Where the hell have you BEEN?" Two of the boys said in unison. One of the girls came rushing to my side, and said "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down guys. Give Tara a chance to explain herself." I was stuck to that spot by a unknown force. "I-I'm not.." I began to say, before I was cut off by one of the boys. "You KNOW
we can't start the signing without you! Photos and stuff!" I hoped my confused look didn't shine through. 'Okay, Ashleigh, stay cool. You can get through this. Just explain that you're not this Tara girl, whoever she is.' I thought to myself. Before a word could get said, one of the boys came and grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the corner. "Tara, where the hell have you been? Liam's had a search party out, Zayn's been checking all over the internet for a hint of where you are, Louis' been pacing around like a mad man, and Niall... Well he's been eating, I assume to mask his pain." Because there was nothing better come into my mind, I said "And you?" The boy said "Me? You know your BROTHER? I've been OUT OF MY MIND. You could have texted or something!" No words came into my mind, so I stayed silent, staring. "Harry!" One of the girls shouted over to the boy stood opposite me, and he replied "Coming Alyssa!" and ran off over to her, but not before saying "This is NOT over Tara. Not by a long way." I walked behind him, and noticed all the boys had badges on. At
least I could differentiate them now. If only I'd listened to Ally all the times she's tried to tell me the differences between them. Wait what am I saying?Little did I know this day was only going to get worse as I was dragged back in front of the crowd.
