Behind The Band

5: Never Alone

The boys had disbelief all over their face. I slumped my head to my shoulders, unable to look at them knowing I would break down if I did. A few moments passed and I picked up the courage to continue the story. 

"The duration of the time I had this thought lurking in my head, My mum told me she had bought last minute tickets to see P!nk. Sure I was excited to go, but I wasn't as excited as I should have been. This was mainly because I didn't know many of her songs.

We got to the arena where she was playing, and I remember very vividly my mum telling me that I was going to be obsessed with her after this show. And she was right! When the show was over, I felt like I had just been to group therapy with 10,000 people. I had finally found somebody who understands exactly what it is like to be that pissed off, complicated girl who hated the world and everyone in it. She spoke my language and it astounds me how driven she is and how strong she can be. She changed my life for the good, and for that, I could never repay her. I honestly don't know I have lived without her for so long."

I could see all the boys had tears welling up in their eyes as silence fell upon the room. It was only moments after I had shared my life experience that all the boys attacked me in a hug.

"DON'T YOU EVER FEEL LIKE EVER EVER EVER AGAIN!!!" Niall yelled at the top of his lungs with tears falling freely now.

 "And if you do, don't ever do anything as drastic as what you were talking about," I heard Harry chip in. 

"And if you ever do feel this way, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE come talk to us. Even if you are ever in doubt. We'll always make time for you no matter how busy a schedule we have. I couldn't stand losing my little sister over something like this knowing that I could have helped you." 

I couldn't help but let my tears full when Loui said that. As he saw streams of water running down my face, he got up and embraced me the tightest that he could. "Don't ever make me think about losing you. Understand?"

"Understand," I replied through his now soaking we shoulder.

I sat back down next to Liam as he started to speak. "Where you're family now, whether you like it or not."

I watched as his eyes became puffy. I immediately latched onto him, not waiting to see him break down. We stayed like this for a few long moments, his head in between the curve of my neck. I could smell his sweet cologne, which I enjoyed a little too much of. 

Liam calmed down and returned back to his normal seating position. "Well, I think we need something to cheer us up!" Harry exclaimed. "How about Hot chocolate and cards!" We all agreed to his suggestions.

We had finished our hot chocolates and we had been playing Black Jack for quite a while now. "I've had enough," Niall said sleepily. "I'm going to sleep." all the other boys agreed and made their way back to their seats behind us.

I too decided to go to sleep. But I didn't realise that I had fallen asleep on Liam's shoulder.

*Liam's P.O.V

Dani has been asleep on my shoulder for about 11/2 hours. I couldn't sleep after all that she had told me about her life. Knowing that she had almost taken her own life, and that there might not have been an opportunity for me to meet this incredible girl. She has been through so much and delt with so much crap in her life. She is incredibly strong and I admire that in a girl. Especially this girl. She is certainly not like all my other friends that are girls. But then again, I don't think I am thinking of her as my friend anymore.

*Dani's P.O.V

I had woken up to the sound of a sweet, soothing voice and a light nudge. "Dani? Dani? Are you awake?" I slowly open my eyes to see Liam staring into them. I couldn't help but lose myself in his gorgeous chocolate brown eyes. 

"Are you awake?" I nodded as I snapped out of my daydream. "Oh Liam, I am so sorry that I fell asleep on your shoulder!" I said quietly fast as my face turned bright red. 

"Haha don't worry about it, love. I barely noticed." 

I couldn't help but feel butterflies again when he called me love, which I begin to realise is becoming a habit.

I automatically go even more red, which I am guessing he noticed because gave me a slight chuckle and nudge in the arm. 

"Are we there yet? I asked slightly confused. "We sure are!" A voice came from behind.

Before we made our way out of the plane, Liam stopped us all and explained the plan.

"There is a van waiting on the tarmac for us. We won't go through the airport because there are a lot of fans and they don't know about Dani joining the band yet. We don't won't there to be a huge stampede and suspensions." 

As he finished his sentence he handed us all hoodies, sunglasses and a big hat to disguise ourlseves so nobody would recognise us as we got into the van.
