"You're looking lighted with me, we could be wildin, we could be Free."

// Y/N POV \\

Bailey and I stand leaning on the bars that separate us from the stage. It's not by very much though. At the moment I have my water and phone on the stage while I try to find somewhere to put my bag where I trust people enough not to steal anything. In all honesty the only valuable thing in there is my purse which I'll probably put in the zip up pocket of my hoodie that's going around my waist. I take the water from the stage and put it next to the pink bag by my feet. Then I pick up my phone and leave it in the pocket of my jeans for the time being.

Suddenly the lights go down and some cheers come from a couple of us in the crowd. A voice booms through the speaker.

"Please welcome to the stage your support act for the evening, Jazmine Lucero!"

Then the cheers and screams pick up as the tall black haired girl walks on to the stage carrying her microphone. "What's up Bristol?" she yells into it. "Who's ready?!" she receives more whistles and cheers. "This first one is a cover of Riptide, so sing along if y'all know it."

// Jazmine POV \\

I break in to the chorus of the song, walking up and down the stage. By this point most of the audience is hyped up and joining me in singing. This is probably the best crowd so far. I've been onstage for for less that 3 minutes and everyone is already really in to it. I guess my job is pretty easy tonight. I just have to keep everyone like this for the boys. I ended Riptide and went on to sing There's Nothing Holding Me Back by Shawn Mendes. By the chorus everyone in my line of vision was jumping and singing with me.

I next went on to introduce myself and sang a couple of original songs that I'd written before the start of the tour. And I then sang more covers including Mama, Wolves, Staying Up, On Purpose, Slow Hands and Hard Times. I added some more original songs in to the mix and go in to my last song.

"You might know this last one, so again, sing along if you do!" I shout.

"Havana ooh na na,
half of my heart was in
Havana ooh na na."

The lights go down once more. Screams and cheers ring through my ears. The first few notes Air Of The Night start playing and the noise becomes deafening. Before we know it Corbyn Besson is standing in front of us singing. I pull out my phone to video him. I also manage to get a photo where it looks like he is staring directly in to my camera. I smile and press record, singing along to Daniel's lines as he joins Corbyn on the stage in front of us.

One by one the rest of the boys take to the stage. We reach the first chorus and Zach appears onstage as the crowd sings the lyrics back at the boys. Jonah begins to sing as he walks on to the stage quickly joined by Jack. I switch the focus of the video to each of the boys as they sing. When it reaches Jack's part I zoom in on him as he's on the far right of the stage and we're in the middle. I see him quickly look over and smile as he sings. I'm not too sure whether or not he's seen Bailey and I but I can hope, so I smile back at him anyway.

Standing and watching these five boys that I've loved for such a long time perform songs that I've sung over and over and listened to on repeat for days is so crazy. Never in a million years did I think I'd get the chance to see them on a stage in front of me so close to home. The song finishes and everyone cheers deafeningly. Jonah holds his microphone back up to his mouth.

"What's up Bristol?!" he is greeted with more screams and whistles. "I'm Jonah."

"I'm Jack."

"I'm Zach."

"I'm Daniel."

"And I'm Corbyn."

"And we're Why Don't We!"

The majority of the crowd shouts the last line with them and the other portion screams and cheers, almost blocking out their introduction.

After singing their cover of Runnin'  by Beyonce, Jack, Jonah and Corbyn turn to face the crowd and come forwards more to the front of the stage, while Daniel and Zach head to the back. I spot the little table that the boys usually use for their live mash-ups where two of the boys are stood. I point it out to Bailey right away and I then have to scream what I'm trying to say at her because it's so loud in here. "OMG! A mash-up!" I yell at her, smiling.

"So, guys," Jonah says.

"You may know of a little thing we like to do on our instagram, where we take a couple of our favourite songs... and make mash-ups out of them," Corbyn smiles.

"Do you guys think it's ok if we do one for y'all now?" Jack asks.

He gets a huge scream in reply and Daniel and Zach bring forward the little table with the Mac Book, beat pad and loop pedal. The five of them surround it and Daniel starts to press some of the buttons on the beat pad. More shouts echo through the crowd as everyone realises which mash-up it's going to be.

House so empty, need a centrepiece
Twenty racks at a table cut from ebony
Cut that ivory into skinny pieces
Then she clean it with her face man I love my baby

You talking money need a hearing aid
You talking bout me I don't see a shade
Switch up my style I take any lane

Despacito
Quiero respirar tu cello despacito
Deja qué the diga cosas al oido
Para qué the acuerdes si no estas conmigo

Despacito
Quiero desnudarte a besos despacito
Firmo en las pardes de tu laberinto
Y hacer dr tu cuerpo todo in manuscrito

I hope you liked that chapter, it's not the most interesting but hopefully the next chapter will be better cause more should be happening. Also I don't usually put lyrics to the songs cause it annoys me but it's pretty hard for them to announce a mash-up title so I just used the first bit and here's a video if you want it. ^
