A/N: I know that Back For You isn't a Why Don't We song but you'll see why it's the title later in the chapter.

----------

"Baby you don't have to worry I'll be coming Back For You."

// Y/N POV \\

During the short break between the first and second halves of the show five stools have been pulled to the front in centre of the stage.

"Oh wait!" I say to Bailey, suddenly remembering. "You never told me what Jack said to Zach and then what you told him."

"Well I guess I might as well tell you now," she replies. "It's nothing much."

"Well it made him smile, whatever you said, what was it?"

"I heard Jack ask Zach who's lane he thought you were in. Zach just laughed and I figured I might as well tell him."

"What?! No way!!"

"Yeah, that's what he said."

It's not long after we stop talking that the boys come back up the stairs from the back. Jack sits on the left and then there's Corbyn, Jonah, Zach and Daniel. Each of them is carrying a microphone which rests in their laps. Tyler also appears at the side of the stage holding a mic in his left hand.

"For this little bit of the show, we wanted to give you guys the chance to ask a couple of questions. So we're going to be doing a short Q&A before we get on with the show," Daniel says.

"We'll only be answering maybe five or six questions because as we said we'd like to keep it short," adds Zach.

"Hey, Bam Bam!" Corbyn yells into his microphone.

"Bam Bam's gonna come round to you guys so we can hear your questions properly," Jack tells us.

"If you have a question please raise your hand," Jonah asks.

I immediately raise my hand. Bam Bam comes forward to the steps at the front left of the stage. Jack stops him quickly and whispers something. Tyler nods and defends the stairs into the crowd. He starts to head in Bailey and I's direction so I keep my hand held in the air. He holds out the microphone to me and I smile and take it.

"What's your question?" Jack asks smiling at me.

"Well, Jack," I grin back. "How did the band form?"

The boys all smile, trying not to laugh, although a lot of the crowd does let out laughter.

"Well, we were all doing our own solo things," he begins, smiling. "I was touring with Zach and Corbyn, I met Jonah at some show and Daniel and I kinda just knew each other from some thing. Then we all got together one time and the idea of a band was brought around and we were just like Why Don't We?" Laughter echos around the venue as he finishes. I'm pretty sure I heard someone behind me reciting it with him as well.

I pass the microphone back to Tyler and he wanders further back to find someone else to ask the boys a question.

"Ok, this is for Jonah," says the fan. Jonah nods and she continues; "So we all know your a big fan of Harry Potter and you're a Gryffindor, but what houses would you sort the other boys into?"

"Oh god!" Jonah replies looking up and down the row at his bandmates. "Let's see. Daniel, I'm pretty sure you'd be a Hufflepuff. And Corbyn I think you'd be Ravenclaw. Zach and Jack... Maybe Slytherin?"

"C'mon!" Zach complains.

"Hey!" Jonah laughs. "You're ambitious and pretty cunning, I mean you like pulling pranks on the rest of us. I think you'd definitely be a Slytherin. They aren't all bad! God Zach, don't stereotype!" He jokes.

"What about me?" Jack asks.

"I'm still not sure, you're like a mix of all the houses. Gryffrinpuffclaw. There, that what you are."

"And here's our last question tonight," Tyler tells us all, as he passes the microphone to a girl with long black hair who's stood in the row behind Bailey and I.

"Would any of you ever date a fan?" she asks them.

"I mean if she had a good personality, liked my noodles, was funny, all that cliche stuff, then of course," Jack replies.

"I already am." says Corbyn. "My biggest fan is Christina and I love her with all my heart." He gets a big awww from everyone in the crowd and most of the boys.

"Enough with the mushy stuff Corbyn! God, how many times!" Zach mutters, trying to stifle a laugh.

"Well I'd definitely date a fan if she liked Harry Potter and we got on well and stuff, like Jack said, all that cliche stuff. But maybe not the hair bit..." Jonah answers.

"I would totally date a fan," says Zach. "I love you guys!" That gets a big cheer and a load of screams for the crowd.

"I've always said that fans would make the best girlfriends," Daniel tells us. "To be honest I don't know why I'm still single."

"I'll date you Daniel!" screams someone at the back.

♪♪

The boys finish up singing M.I.A and go to the back of the stage to pull their stools forward again. Jack sits in the middle and the others sir around him.

"This next one is a cover," Zach says. "We've never done it live before so we hope you all like it."

"This is Back For You, by One Direction."

(A/N: I'm not gonna type out the whole song or anything so there's a picture key/lyrics thing at the top if want the song. or you can use it and play the song with it.)

Whenever I close my eyes I picture you there,
I'm looking out at the crowd, you're everywhere,
I'm watching you from the stage, yeah
Your smile is on every face, yeah,
But every time you wake up you're hearing me say,

Goodbye

♪♪

"This is our last song of the night," Corbyn says.

"It's called Invitation." adds Daniel.

This song was simple. It was a pretty slow song so everyone took out their phones and turned on the lights. There also wasn't any choreography to it so the boys just stood and walked around the stage, switching places.

As I waved my phone through the air Jack took it from my hand. The song ended and the boys left the stage. The lights came back up; the show had ended. I stood with my mouth open in shock. Jack Robert Avery just took my phone. Bailey hadn't noticed since she and the rest of the crowd were cheering as loud as possible, in an attempt to get an encore.
