Flicker -NH

Part 62

Lexi rubs her hands nervously on her jeans. It had been about ten minutes since the opening act left the stage and soon, the light is gonna dim down and Niall will walk out.
"Hey," Jackson wraps his arm around her. "It's just a show." He assures her.
"I know." She mutters nodding. "I know."
"Just have fun." He sways her making her giggle, moving along with his body.
"I'm guessing you won't be leaving in the intermission then." She says, nodding at a boy sitting two rows in front of them, looking back at the pair once a while.
"Well," Jackson looks down at her teasingly. "I know you won't."
She rolls her eyes.
The lights soon dim down and at a strong beat, the light flashes back on and Niall along with his band is on stage.
The arena errupts in roar.
"Oh God," Jackson covers his ears and rolls his eyes in annoyance. "Is this how it's gonna be the whole show?" Jackson complains.
"I can't hear you." Lexi screams through the crowd laughing.
Jackson senses her stiffness still so without thinking, grabbing one of her hand and raises it to the air alone with the beat.
"Jackson," Lexi laughs as he jumps crazily holding her hand.
"It's free concert. Come on." He screams.
She goes along with him seeing how excited Jackson is.
"I see her! There, third row. My spoiled cousin-"
"Jackson!" Lexi punches his arm.
"I thought you couldn't hear me-"
"I can now." She laughs.
She turns to the stage after stopping on jumping along with Jackson, and then it happened.
Among all the crowds around her, she made her first eye contact with him after months.
He definitely sees her there, holding hand with a guy jumping along his music. He knows the row and the exact seat number that he gave her, but he didn't expect her guest.
She definitely sees him seeing her, for a split second his body stiffens up before continuing the first song.
She looks back at Jackson stopping his dancing.
"What?" He asks.
"I don't think-"
"Nuh uh," He shakes his head. "We made a deal. You have to stay till intermission."
"That lasted for sixty seconds. I wouldn't have time to leave then!"
Jackson looks back to the stage shrugging. "I guess we're staying for the whole show then."
"Jackson-"
He raises his hands in the air ignoring her, before grabbing her shoulder and starts jumping again. "Free. Concert!"
"You didn't even want to be here!"
"I turn to up everything free. Now, dance!"
