Standing Close To The Edge(Finished) by Danielle Palmer (the read aloud family txt) 📕

grabbed the key and unlocked the door. We heard screaming and looked over the side. There was at least 100 fans running our way. We pulled the door open and ran before they got close. I slammed the door and locked it. “That was close. I don't even know where Ron went.” Ron was the body guard who Paul sent to get us. We had lost him after we got out the van.
“I don't either.” I said as we both started laughing. “Well it's a good thing we didn't get mobbed.” I said while laughing. She nodded and stood up before helping me up. I followed her to where there dressing room was. Before knocking she looked over at me and pointed at my sleeves. I pulled them down more so the almost covered my hands. I was thankful that she understood that I wanted to keep it from the guys. She knocked a couple times and we heard shuffling around before someone called out to hold on.
A second later Paul was the one to open the door. He smiled and let us both in before closing it behind us. Louis was getting his hair done and so was Niall. I didn't see Harry or Zayn but Liam was putting a shirt on. When he say Danielle he smiled and hugged her. “You got her to come I see.” He said as he hugged me. “It wasn't that hard actually.” She laughed as I blushed. Liam got called to get his hair done so me and Danielle went and sat in another room on the couch.
About 20 minutes later all the guys, except Zayn, walked in all ready. “We plan on not letting Zayn see you until he is on stage.” Harry said after we all hugged. I nodded and let them lead me out the room. I heard music and a huge crowd screaming. They had a lot of fans and I bet they all love it. We all followed Paul to a secret door so me and Danielle could sneak into the crowd. After we said goodbye and good luck a different security guard took us to our seats in the front row. Some fans said hi and others just took pictures from a far.
“5 minutes until they come on stage.” Danielle yelled over the music. I nodded my head and leaned back in my chair. My phone vibrated in my pocket and I looked at it. There was a missed call from my mom. I didn't bother calling her back and turned off my phone. She didn't deserve my attention. After her lying and not inviting me to her wedding she lost all my respect. Well little respect she did have was all gone now. I felt a hand squeeze my hand and looked up. Danielle was smiling at me but I could tell she was worried. “Are you ok?” I smiled and nodded before looking back up at the stage.
When there was one minute left they started a video on the screen showing the guys. They showed Louis driving and picking up each of the guys. It took turns saying what each of them like and dislike. It started counting down from 5 and everyone was screaming. Me and Danielle joined in on screaming the numbers. At 1 all the guys came running out and instantly started singing 'Na-Na-Na'. All their voices were amazing. When Liam was doing his solo he winked at Danielle and blew her a kiss. I could clearly see her blush.
Zayn started his solo but was on the other side of the stage. I looked at Danielle disappointed but she pointed back to the stage. They were all right in front of us singing the chorus. I looked at Zayn the whole time and he finally saw me. He stopped singing right when our eyes met. He smiled at me and recovered right for his solo. The whole song he had a big smile on his face. When there first song was over they took turns thanking everyone for coming and saying they had the best fans in the world.
After that they sang 5 more songs. Not all in a row because they would go off stage for a sec and then come back on. After they finished singing 'More Than This' Niall thanked everyone again for coming out. Liam stepped up next and spoke. “You guys are the best fans. Me and the boys also think you are the best on twitter.” They was an uproar in the crowd and he smiled. “So we decided that we were going to share a couple of our favorite tweets for you guys.” Everyone in the crowd was screaming and jumping up and down.
The screen behind them popped up a twitter question and Louis went first. It wasn't a question it was just stating that the girl and her friend came all the way from Canada to be here. They found the girl and her friend in the crowd and thanked them for there dedication. Each of the guys did their favorite tweet with Zayn going last. Liam's was a girl asking them to rap the 'Fresh Prince of BelAir' rap. Harry's was another person saying they love him and asked him to prom. He said he would go just to be nice and the girl actually freaked out. Niall's was asking them all to do the 'Niall jump' but no one could do it better than him. When Zayn started talking my heart started racing.
“This is my favorite tweet. It says `Do any of you have girlfriends or crushes on anyone? Smiley face.' I'll start this one off and say I don't have girlfriend but I do have a crush on someone.” He chuckled a little into the mic while the other guys were saying they knew who it was. Danielle grabbed my hand and I looked her. She mouthed 'You' to me before squealing and looking back at the stage. I was really hoping it was me. He looked at me and winked and I couldn't help but blush.
After that Liam said he had a girlfriend while Louis, Niall, and Harry didn't. When they were finished with the tweets they ran off stage after Harry yelled “There's a party in Fairfax!” A couple seconds later they ran back on stage and started singing again. Threw every one of their songs me and Danielle were singing and yelling. I knew that the last song they were going to sing was 'What Makes You Beautiful' because it was their first song ever. The second to last song ended up being 'Moments' which was my favorite song. When the last song was over they thanked everyone once again and ran off stage.
Paul signaled for me and Danielle to follow him. He lead us through a back door and to the guys dressing room. He pushed open the door and all 5 of them were laying on the couches and chairs. They were sweating and breathing heavy but still smiled when we walked through the door. “Good job guys.” Me and Danielle said at the same time. We all laughed and they thanked us. Danielle went and sat next to Liam who gladly put his arm around her. The only empty seat was on the couch by Zayn so I went and sat down by him. He smiled at me and I smiled back.
“Thanks for coming.” He said as he took off his over jacket to show a short sleeved white shirt. “Your welcome.” I said back with confidence. Usually I would cower away when talking to guys but I felt comfortable with Zayn. “Guys we have to leave here soon.” Paul said as he popped his head in from the hallway. Niall groaned and said something about needing a nap while the other 4 laughed at him. Louis went into the hallway followed by Harry saying they were going to talk to Paul. “So did you guys have fun?” Danielle asked to fill in the silence. I think she knew I was starting to feeling uncomfortable.
“It was amazing. I had a blast.” Niall yelled when he popped up from the pillow. We laughed but Zayn and Liam agreed with him. After that Louis came back in and grabbed my hand before pulling me into the hallway. Zayn tried to follow but he pushed him back on the couch. Harry and Paul were outside in the hallway. “We decided you should come with us on tour.” Harry started. I tried to say that I couldn't but Louis cut me off. “All you have to do is have Paul talk to your parents. It would mean a lot to Zayn.” He tried doing puppy eyes and they were actually starting to work.
“I live on my own.” I said and it crushed all hope.
“Wait. I thought you were 16?” Harry asked.
“I am. It's called emancipation.”
“What about your parents?” Louis asked. I sighed and rubbed my back of my neck before answering. “My dad died and let's just say I'm not my moms favorite person.” He nodded in agreement and said he was sorry for bringing it up. “What's the problem though?” Paul asked. I had almost forgot he was there. “Well I won't be able to work therefore I won't be payed and I won't be able to pay my bills.” They all looked like they were think before Harry screamed 'I got it!” and ran back into the room. Me and Louis looked at each other. He shook his head and chuckled. Harry came back out pulling Danielle and Liam after him.
“Do you have a family member that would help you move?” I looked at him confused. “If I moved where will I live when I come back from the tour?” He smiled and looked at Louis and Liam. They both nodded and all looked at me. “Move to London with us.” Liam said. Are they serious? No they can't be. I was about to talk but Louis butted in. “If you decided you didn't want to we will buy you a apartment after the tour.” I thought about it for awhile before nodding my head.
The plan was that me and Danielle stay back and pack my apartment. We were going to miss there next concert but we would meet them for the 3rd one and the rest after that. I was going to call my aunt and ask her if I could put all my furniture in her spare empty bedroom. Since I only had one couch a dresser and a bed it would all fit. Danielle happily agreed to help me stay and pack. Then we would rent a car and drive to wherever the 3rd concert was. It was a perfect plan.

At first I was nerves that Zayn wouldn't want me to go on tour with them but when we told him and Niall they were both happy. After about 20 minutes of talking and hanging out Paul came and told them they were leaving. It was sad to see them go but I knew me and Danielle would see them in a few days. Paul assigned us 3 security guards that would go with us everywhere. He was going to only have 1 come with us but the guys said 3 is better. I didn't get it until we showed up at my apartment. Their was only about 20 fans but most of them had signs that said 'Stay away from Zayn' and stuff like that.
I looked at Danielle who had a worried expression. She noticed me staring and tried to smile but it didn't work. How could people that don't even know me hate me so much? We had to go to
