I asked to go to the concert and the girls gave me questioning looks. They were hesitant at first, but I talked them into it. We had given up our tickets since we weren't going, but our passes would get us in. We would just have to stand in the balcony instead of the front row. We finished getting ready and hopped in the car (Shay and Melissa: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=51750477) (Brooke and Rose: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=51750305). Melissa drove us there and after we got past security, we went up to the balcony. The arena was already super loud and my head was pounding. I started to rethink my actions as the boys appeared on stage and the noise became beyond deafening. I thought my head was going to explode, but just seeing them made me smile. In the middle of Stole My Heart, Niall noticed us. He waved and we returned the favor. As soon as the song ended, he alerted the rest of the boys. My eyes were locked on Liam. He looked around for a while before finding me, but when he did, his face lit up. I couldn’t help but smile. The concert was fabulous, as always. Afterwards we met back up with the guys. All of them instantly hugged their girls, but Liam and Harry were nowhere to be found. I looked around when suddenly Liam came bolting from around the corner. I opened my mouth to greet him, but he spoke before I could get a word out.
Liam: What on earth are you doing here?!?
Me: We wanted to surprise you guys!
Liam: You are sick you should be in bed!
Me: I'm fine. I will sleep when I get home.
Liam: No. You shouldn't have come at all. What were you thinking?
My mood changed. The anger was rising as he kept scolding me.
Me: I was thinking it would be nice to see you guys since I'm getting ready to leave but maybe I was wrong.
Liam: You should have stayed in bed. You promised.
Me: Actually I put my head down and you left. I never promised you anything!
Liam: So you aren't lying to me, you just are tricking me to go and do whatever you want?
Me: I wasn't tricking you! You left without getting a clear answer!
Liam: So it's my fault that you are going to be feeling terrible tomorrow?!?
Me: I thought I was doing something right! What? Do you not want to see me?
Liam: Not right now!
I fell silent. Those words were like a knife through me. My own boyfriend didn't want to see me. Only then did I realize that the others were all standing around, shocked by what was happening. I got a few sympathetic looks. I kept my gaze on the ground and away from Liam. When I spoke it was barely a whisper, but it was so silent there that it was clearly audible.
Me: Well alright then. If that's how you feel...
I turned to leave and I heard him argue behind me.
Liam: Wait. Shay, I didn't mean it.
I didn't turn around, but shook my head as I continued walking.
Me: Save it.
I went straight to Melissa's car and soon the girls all joined me. Nobody said a word to me on the ride home. I kept looking out the window at the thousands of girls leaving the venue still. If they only knew what it was like to live with the boys all the time. For the first time, I was ready to go back to Oklahoma.
