Jessica's POV

Right now, the girls and I were in our dressing rooms, getting ready for our performance. One of our stylist, Natalie, had a blue comb in one hand and a flat iron in the other. She straightened my locks, letting them hang down giving it a flipped look. After she finished my makeup I was handed a purple graphic dress with a black sparkly tube top, ripped leggings, and plain, black high heels. When the five of us were done changing, we looked at our reflection on a mirror with our arms interlocked.

“I can’t believe this is happening. What if we mess up? What if no one will like us?” Avery splattered, burying her neon colored nails in the bottom of her palm. She was wearing a cropped, star and stripe printed shirt that read, ‘Lucky’ across it and blue, faded shorts with ripped fishnets. Her light, brown hair were curled into small tousled waves, with soft green and pink highlights. Nice!

“That’s just your anxiety speaking. We made it this far. This is our dream, we can’t just back out.” Marina tried pep-talking, with her hands a little wet; She seemed nervous as well. Her usually long, dark brown hair was cut all the way to her shoulders with a wind swept style. She wore a brightly colored storm chaser dress, ahem, I mean BOY CHASER dress, with frilly ankle boots.

“Did you guys ever dream that we would ever be discovered, perform in front of millions or get a recording contract?” Courtney asked, look at the others and I with dreariness in her hazel eyes. Her light brown hair had blonde highlights and was crimped, pulled back into a side pony tail. She was wearing a dark blue tank top with a glittery design, shredded pants, and golden studded boots.

“No, not in a million years.” Tammy choked out clearly with her sentence coming out short. Her long, black hair was freed to fall below her shoulders and the stylist gave her some sharp bangs that slightly covered her eyebrows. She wore a velvet red, lace corset with a funky tutu, black floral tights, and ultra high tops that reached the tips of her thighs. One leather, red glove covered her right hand.

“Hey, you girls are on in 3!” Britney, our manager spoke out, poking her head out from the door. We nodded our heads in unison and left our dressing room while I gave the mirror one last glance. There was a large star with the words, ‘Radio Active’ printed across it on the surface of the door. I gratefully smiled from the sight and followed the others backstage after.

“WE’RE ON IN 3, 2, 1…” Someone counted down loudly. I breathed in heavily, shooing away the nervous feeling that was bubbling in my stomach like soup as the announcement ringed through my head numerously. As the girls and I entered the large arena, we were greeted by a humongous sea of people screaming and cheering. Closing my eyes, I took the ear splitting shrills like it was nothing and held the microphone tightly.

“Who’s ready to see a performance of a life time?” I asked the crowd of fans, with a hippy tone. Throwing my fist in the air, everyone inside began repeating the words, ‘Radio Active, Radio Active, Radio Active!’ over and over again, making the five of us grow teary.

“Today we are going to sing from a certain artist and right now it’s…” Courtney trailed off, motioning to Avery. She took out her wooden drum sticks and smashed a beat on the stage floor for emphasis. “-RIHANNA WEEK!” The swarm of people shrieks as I saw millions of hands shot up toward the ceiling.

Feeling my hands become slippery, I did my best to try not to drop my microphone in front of this many people. Taking in one last breath, I waiting for Marina to start the first chorus. She held her microphone high in the air, motioning to begin.

Marina:
Baby, I love you, I need you here,
With me all the time,
Baby we meant to be,
You got me, smiling all the time,

Courtney:
Cause you know how to give me that,
You know how to pull me back,
When I go runnin, runnin,
Tryin’ to get away from loving ya,

Marina and Courtney:
You know how to love me hard,
I won’t lie, I’m falling hard,
Yep, I’m falling for ya but there’s nothin wrong with that,

All:
You the one that I dream about all day,
You the one that I think about always,
You Are The One So I Make Sure I Behave!
My love is your love, your love is my love,

You the one that I dream about all day,
You the one that I think about always,
You Are The One So I Make Sure I Behave!
My love is your love, your love is mine,

Jessica:
Baby come, take me now, hold me now,
Make me come alive,
You got the sweetest touch,
I’m so happy, you came in my life,

Avery:
Cause you know how to give me that,
You know how to pull me back,
When I go runnin’, runnin’,
Tryin’ to get away from loving ya,

Jessica and Avery:
You know how to love me hard,
I won’t lie, I’m falling hard,
Yep, I’m falling for ya but there’s nothin’ wrong with that,

All:
You the one that I dream about all day,

My love is your love, your love is my love,

You the one that I dream about all day,

My love is your love, your love is mine,

Tammy:
And Yes I’m kinda crazy,
That’s what happens baby,
When you put it down,
You shouldn’t give it to me,
Good like that,
Shouldn’t hit it like that,
Had me yellin’ like that,
Didn’t know you would’ve had me coming back,

You the one that I’m feeling,
You the one that I’m loving,
Ain’t no other niggas like you,
No there’s just one, one, one,
One, one, one,
No baby just one, one, one,
I bet you wanna know,

During the instrumental, everyone looked at us like we were crazy when we stopping singing. The girls gave me a look and I smiled at the confused crowd. ”I just want to take a moment and say thank you. We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for any of you guys! Most of all I would like to dedicate this song to the one who made it all possible…” I trailed off, leaving millions anxious to know. Snapping my arm to the side, I pointed at the now rising platform. Smoke began to build up as Avery began tapping her drum sticks again.

“JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE!” The girls and I said in sync, causing the arena filled room to break into screams of bloody murder.

Justin:

‘Cause I don’t wanna lose you now,
I’m lookin’ right at the other half of me,
The vacancy that sat in my heart,
Is a space that now you hold,
Show me how to fight for now,
And I’ll tell you, baby, it was easy,
Comin’ back into you once I figured it out,
You were right here all along,

It’s like you’re my mirror,
My mirror staring back at me,
I couldn’t get any bigger,
With anyone else beside of me,
And now it’s clear as this promise,
That we’re making,
Two reflections into one,
Cause it’s like you’re my mirror,
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me,

Radio Active:
You the one that I dream about all day,
You the one that I think about always,
You Are The One So I Make Sure I Behave!
My love is your love, your love is my love,

You the one that I dream about all day,
You the one that I think about always,
You Are The One So I Make Sure I Behave!
My love is your love, your love is mine,

Justin: (Oh, Oh, Oh,)

Radio Active:
(You da one, You are the one, You da one, You are the one)

(My love is your love, your love is mine)

After the song, we left the area cheering and screaming again, but maybe even louder. The girls and I held each other by the shoulders, along with Justin as he gave us an impressed look. I felt the butterflies flutter inside of me as my heart raced faster. The attention from everyone overwhelmed me.

“This mashup is called, YOU DA MIRRORS!” Tammy shouted, nodding her head vigorously. Her feet tapped to the rhythm of Avery’s drum sticks, the booming speakers, and the colorful flashing lights dancing on the stage.

“I am so proud of you.” Justin kindly said, looking at the five of us with glistening eyes. Beads of water fell from my face as the girls and I group hugged, pulling Justin in the middle of it. Courtney climbed on top of the platform and spoke into her microphone.

“WHO WANTS TO SEE JUSTIN SING AGAIN?” She asked, with some kind of war face. All of a sudden a loud, “YEAH!” echoed, bouncing off of the walls of the arena.

“We have Justin Timberlake singing Suit & Tie; Marina Kelly singing a cover of Diamonds!” Courtney proclaimed, gesturing her hands toward the two.

Marina:

Shine bright like a diamond,
Shine bright like a diamond,

Shine bright like a diamond,
Shine bright like a diamond,

Justin:

I can’t wait ‘til I get you on the floor, good-looking,
Going out so hot, just like an oven,
And I’ll burn myself, but just had to touch it,
It’s so fly and it’s all mine,
Hey baby,

Marina:

I knew that we’d become one right away,
Oh, right away,

Justin:

And as long as I’ve got my suit and tie,
I’mma leave it all on the floor tonight,
Baby got fixed up to the nines,
Let me show you a few things,

Marina:

So shine bright tonight, you and I,
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky,

Justin:

Let me show you a few things,

Show you a few things,
Show you a few things about love,
While we’re in the swing of love,
Let me show you a few things,
Show you a few things about love,
Hey,

Marina:

Shine bright like a diamond (STOP),

I knew that we’d become one right away
Oh, right away,

Justin:

And as long as I’ve got my suit and tie,
I’mma leave it all on the floor tonight,
And you got fixed up to the nines,
Let me show you a few things,

Marina:

So shine bright tonight, you and I,
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky,

Justin:

Let me show you a few things,
Show you a few things,
Show you a few things about love,
While we’re in the swing of love,
Let me show you a few things,
Show you a few things about love,
Hey (STOP),

Marina:

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond

The concert eventually ended and I entered backstage, really proud of our performance. It was actually really fun to be on stage, singing like in front of thousands of people while they scream your name. Stuck in the middle of La, la land, I heard Marina call out my name loudly from our dressing room. “JESSICA, COME HERE! THE GIRLS AND I NEED TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING!”

Following Marina’s orders, I made my way to our dressing room only to find the four sitting on the couch with a simple iPhone in her hands. “What now, Mar?” I asked, sitting on the arm of the chair. She turned to me with a concerned look on her face. “It’s time” She projected, giving the others a few glances. Marina continued. “It’s time to review One Direction.”

Everything seemed to click too quickly. My eyes widened, startled from such a huge change. “B-but I thought we agreed to avoid the ‘One Direction Mania’!” I blurted out with my sentence stuttering slightly, quoting some words here and there.

Tammy placed her glove covered hand on my shoulder and nodded. “We know, but there’s just things we can’t always run away from.” She pointed out, causing me to look down a little from disappointment. A small voice escaped from my mouth. “Why?”

Marina threw her phone like a basket ball, landing in the cup of my hands. Flipping it to the screen, I noticed she was logged on to Twitter and a certain someone mentioned her in a tweet. That certain someone was Harry Styles.

@Harry_Styles: Hey, sexy performance, but don’t let it get to your head. @MarinaKelly @radioactive

After reading his tweet I now understood what had to be done. Marina looked angry, she tried to avoid my gaze. Nodding my head for yes, I handed her the phone. Without looking at it, she took it away from my fingers, stuffing it into her hand bag. “Let’s do it!” I demanded, with a smirk.

Notes

How did you feel about Harry's tweet and why did he only tag Marina?
Who's your favorite character so far: Jessica, Courtney, Avery, Marina, or Tammy?
