The Chosen One
The Concert
Chapter 2: The Concert
The day finally came after what felt like an eternity. I sported a purple t-shirt and dark skinny jeans, along with a scarf that kind of dressed the outfit up a bit. I decided just to straighten my longish brown hair and part it down the left. I didn’t want to go overboard and not be myself by dressing up too much. I am a keep it simple sort of girl after all.
I had my parents drive me to the concert venue which was only about an hour away from where I lived. I thanked them again and waved them goodbye, as I was to take a shuttle bus home. I walked up to the venue with my tickets in hand and excitement rushing through me. As I entered the stadium I was already in complete awe of it all, and I hadn’t even caught a glimpse of one of them yet. I couldn’t help being like that because the stage, the lights, and the high energy were all just completely overwhelming.
After listening to an absolutely outstanding opening band called 5 Seconds of Summer, it was finally time for the boys of One Direction to grace us with their presence and come on stage. I along with the rest of the crowd began to chant, “1D, 1D, 1D.” They started with the song “Up All night,” which really got the crowd going, to me included. As they started to appear on the stage the screams of all the girls around me echoed throughout the stadium. I was more star struck above anything else, so no squeals or screams ever escaped my lips. All I could do was smile widely like the freak that I am. The boys all looked so fantastic. It practically blew my mind. I mean, could it even be possible that they looked even more gorgeous in person? Apparently so.
The one who caught my attention the most from the beginning was most definitely Harry Styles. I was just so damn attracted to him. Seriously, it was like a moth to a burning flame type of moment. With his brown, curly, sex god hair, his beautiful bright eyes, and raspy/incredible singing voice, how could he not melt your heart?
The concert went so quickly! It was the most fun I thought I had ever had in my entire life. They were so flirtatious with the audience to try to make every girl in the audience feel special. Within the first hour or so I had touched Niall’s, Zayn’s, and Louis’s hands, saw Liam almost get pulled into the audience by some girl two seats away from me, saw all of them twerk right in front of me (apparently they learned how at one of their previous concerts), and made eye contact with Harry like a billion of times, making me melt more and more.
After a while, I think everyone could sense it was getting towards the end of the concert. The energy level was just at an all-time high. The boys soon started singing “Over Again” which is such a beautiful song. I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time. Apparently Harry noticed because near the end of the song he nudged Louis and pointed to which I assumed, and hoped, was me. The girls standing on both sides of me saw Harry point and looked to their friends and then turned to look at me as well. My face instantly reddened as I smiled at Harry.
The boys continued to sing the song and moved to another part of the stage giving other fans attention. I started to feel not as special after none of them had come over to my section for the rest of the song. I guess I am just really selfish.
Next, the boys announced it was time for a song called, “Little Things.” I was so excited because this was one of my favorite songs. It is just so simple and so fantastic at the same time. Liam then stated, “For this song, we are going to bring one of you beautiful ladies up here on stage tonight.”
Everyone started to cheer and scream “Me, me!” My heart started to flutter inside of my chest.Honestly, what were the odds it would be me?
Then, out of nowhere, Harry Styles was standing on the stage right in front of me. He said, “I choose you, lovely” as he held out his hand for me. His emerald gaze never left mine as I smiled widely and put my hand out. I was in complete shock and awe. One Direction was going to serenade me with one of my favorite songs!
After I climbed up on stage, with much help from Harry, he gave me a smile, which showed his adorable dimples, and asked, “What’s your name?”
He offered me his microphone and I nervously choked out, “Madeline Cooke.”
His gaze was fixed on me as he said in a serious tone, “What a beautiful name for such a beautiful girl.” I have never considered myself that way, certainly not through the eyes of Harry Styles, so all I could do was just give him the dumbest, most embarrassing stare. The other boys brought a chair out for me to sit on. I looked out to the audience for the first time, realizing I was in front of hundreds upon hundreds of other girls who wanted nothing more than to be in my very position. I suddenly felt like the luckiest girl on the whole planet.
Soon a guitar behind me started to play as Zayn, to my left, began to sing, “Your hand fits in mine, like it's made just for me…” As the song went on, the words sort of drained out of my head as each of them stood next and looked to me when their part came to sing. When Harry started to sing his part “I know you've never loved the sound of your voice…” he was the only to come around to the front of me and stare me straight in the eyes as though he were singing only to me. He grabbed my hands which sent chills up my arms and throughout the rest of my body. When his part was done he moved to my right side, but never let go of my hand or stopped looking at me. It was like his eyes were searching deep into my soul or something cliché like that. I didn’t care because enjoyed it far too much.
The song too soon finished, and I hadn’t even realized at first until Harry, sadly enough, let go of my hand. I stood up not really knowing what to do next. A stage crew person started walking towards me to take me off stage, but not until Harry whispered, “I’ll see you later,” in my ear and smiled at me. I nodded slightly smirking and went with the stage person.
I wasn’t really sure what had just happened, but I was so happy because of what did. I was to watch the rest of the concert from the wing. The hulking stage crewmen told me to “Stay put until the end of the concert.” He said that I would get to actually talk to the boys after. This was quite honestly the best night of my life. All I could think about was staring deeper into those beautiful emerald eyes later.

Notes
Sorry this chapter is rather long! ... Also... Sorry, I haven't actually been to a One Direction concert. So, I tried to imagine it the best I could to make it right. I even had to do some research for this chapter! Haha! Hope you like it and enjoy! Let me know what you think! :)-Jen
