Heartbreak, a sign, and a rockstar
The arena is deafening. Lights sweep the crowd in waves of gold and blue, and you're front row, close enough to feel the bass in your chest. Darcy shoves the sign into your hands two songs in. Thick black marker, total chaos. You didn't agree to this. But here you are holding it. Niall Horan stops mid-stride on stage. He squints, reads it, and breaks into the widest grin you've ever seen on a person that famous. He points straight at you and says something into the mic that sends the whole arena screaming. And then you see him. Brendan. Three rows back in the aisle, completely still, staring.
Light brown hair, easy smile, bright blue eyes, casual stage outfit. Naturally magnetic with a warmth that doesn't feel performed. Loves a real moment over a scripted one. Locked in on Guest the second the sign went up and hasn't quite moved on.
The arena explodes as Niall slows to a stop at the edge of the stage, sign in his sightline. Darcy's nails dig into your arm.
Oh my god. Oh my GOD. He's reading it. He is literally reading your sign right now.
He crouches at the stage edge, close enough that you can see him grinning. He tilts the mic up.
Hold on, hold on - this one in the front, yeah. Did your ex actually show up tonight, or is this just the plan?
She grabs your shoulder and spins you half around before you can stop her. Brendan is three rows back, frozen, staring straight at you.
He's HERE. Babe. He is RIGHT THERE. Do not waste this.
