Now it was my turn. I really didn't feel ready for this. The amount of stress on me right now is insane:

= Becca may try to make a move on Charlie while I'm out here
= I may forget everything
= all the dance guys aren't taking to me, still
= I want to make Miss Abbey, mum, dad, Mel, Jordi, Charlie, Victoria, Leo and Tiffany proud
= if I fail this tour, who knows how it could effect my future

The last one was the biggest...
As BAM came off stage I grabbed my microphone, my legs feeling like I could collapse any second, and headed out to hundreds of screams and cheers. This built my confidence.

"Hello Leeds! How you all doin'?" Again, another cheer.

"Well I'm Emily and welcome to the opening night of my debut tour! Wow! Right, so I thought I'd kick off with a song you all should know. Have you heard Last Night by a little band called The Vamps? Let's go!"

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

I hold my hands up high
And throw my glass into the sky.
But when the morning comes,
We'll never see the sun.

And if the walls close in
Then let's just start it all again.
That's when the evening comes
Oh, yeah, the evening comes.

Whoa, oh oh oh oh oh
No we're not going home tonight
Waiting up for the stars to shine
And we'll do it, and we'll do it, and we'll do it again.

Wake up in the morning
With the sunlight in my eyes,
No, my head don't feel so bright,
What the hell happened last night?
Yeah, last night think we were dancing,
Singing all our favourite songs.
Think I might have kissed someone.
And if tomorrow never comes
We had last night.

Let's shut this party down,
And pull the building to the ground,
Yeah, girl let's live it up,
One night is all we got.

Let's dance until we die,
Nobody's going home tonight,
This kiss could be our last,
Come on and raise your glass.

We do it all again [2x]
So bring your friends and tell a friend to bring another friend (we had last night)
We do it all again [2x]
By the end of tonight
We can all be friends (we had last night)
We do it all again [2x]
So bring your friends and tell a friend to bring another friend (we had last night)
We do it all again [2x]
By the end of the night

Wake up in the morning
With the sunlight in my eyes,
No, my head don't feel so bright,
What the hell happened last night?
Yeah, last night think we were dancing,
Singing all our favourite songs.
Think I might have kissed someone.
And if tomorrow never comes
We had last night.

Wake up in the morning
With the sunlight in my eyes,
No, my head don't feel so bright,

Singing all our favourite songs.

And if tomorrow never comes
We had last night

"How was that? Good?" This crowd is very cheer-y. If that makes sense. I started to sing Wrecking Ball and all I could think was how privileged I am to be in this position. Five years ago I was just a stupid little 12 year old girl who just hoped that she'd be able to make something of her life. Now, I'm performing on my own tour to a new city every night.

"So for this next one, I thought I'd bring out a few friends of mine. Let's see if you can guess them. Hmmm let's see... Oh, a quote. This will get you 'hi my names__. I'm Henry, this is Alfred, I'm Dan and __ has left the band'," (give yourself pat on the back if you've got it😉)

"OVERLOAD!" The crowd roared. And the five boys ran out, dancing and messing around.

"So as you guys know, I am little Emily's older and much wiser brother..." Jordi started. Oh god, here we go.

"Are you sure your wiser?" Joey joked.

"Positive. Anyway, I only thought that it was right to share an embarrassing story of hers to you. When she was 7, she had a huge obsession with Zac Efron as he had just been in High School Musical,"

"Don't dis HSM," Ryan warned.

"Don't worry Ry, I won't. So at Christmas, she got a replacer cheerleader outfit to which she made is film videos of her doing... Let's say unique... Routines and put them on YouTube and I'm lead to believe that they are still up there today so be sure to check them out,"

"The thing that Jordi is missing form that story, is that he wanted an outfit as well so he even bought one with his own money! Also, he appears in said dress in a fair few of them videos so be sure to share them with your friends," I sassed. Oh yes, the sass is real.

We eventually started singing 'Don't Stop' as a six piece and Andy playing guitar.

I was left on stage alone once again. The stress started kicking in again now I was alone. Come on Emily! You can power through this!

"This next one is called 'Thinking Out Loud' by Mr Ed Sheeran," I introduced.

When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me - I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way (mmm...)
I know you will still love me the same

'Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

That, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right...

Then all of a sudden, my head started spinning along with the room. I could think straight. Then...

Black.

And I heard my body flop to the stage floor...

A/N cliffhanger! I'm sorry tell you but the next update won't be until Monday as that Connections play, that I told you all about, we are going to Kendal, Cumbria on a trip to perform it so I'm gone the whole weekend. However, I will certainly update Monday AND Tuesday to make up for it!
Hope you enjoyed this chapter. What you think is going to happen?
