Chapter 1
I was 16. Today was that day, May 23. Finally, I'd been looking forward to this forever. The year I would be able to start driving and do things on my own. I sat up and rubbed my eyes.
Ugh, I hate school. That was what made this day bad, going to school.
I flipped my lamp on and looked around my room and smiled. Seeing all my lovely posters always made me smile. One thing to know about me, I am absolutely in love with One Direction. They are my life, and I have no idea where I'd be without them.
I started my daily routine of getting ready, straightened my hair, got dressed, and did my makeup. I frowned at the small beauty mark above my lip that I absolutely hated. It made me so self-conscious, though I had people tell me it was pretty or cute I wished it wasn't there.
I walked out of my room and down the hall. My little sister Morgan came and started yelling, "Happy Birthday Taylor!" I mumbled thanks and walked past her even though she continued to jump around and be annoying.
"Mom, can you please tell her to go away?" I asked frustrated.
"Morgan, stop. Leave her alone."
I walked into the kitchen and saw it on the counter. I was a fruit tray with the fruit spelled out in One Direction. I smiled; next to it was some waffles and bacon. There was also a small bag. I walked over and grabbed the bag. I ripped it open and inside was a piece of paper. My heart started to beat fast, as I thought I knew what it was. I looked at the paper and my mouth fell open.
There it was. In my hand. My ticket to happiness. My very own ticket to a One Direction concert. I didn't know what to say. I started jumping up and down and laughing and crying. I couldn't believe this! Finally everything was right in the world.
My mom told me that I was going with her and my best friend Gabi. This day couldn't get any better.
1 Month Later
We were in the car on our way to D.C., which was about 5 hours away from us, blasting One Direction music. I was so excited. And there was going to be a signing after the concert, which was a plus. We spent the whole ride there talking about what it would finally be like to meet the boys. My life would be complete at that moment. Of course i was going to try and control myslef. I didnt want to scream and cry and have them think i was a freak. We finally got there and headed up to the front of the where the concert was, showed them our tickets and went in. We had floor seats in the last row, but i wasnt complaining.
Eventually, the announcer said the big introduction and the boys came out. My heart fluttered as i saw them all come out. Thousands of girls were screaming around me but all i could see was them. They started singing and i sang right along with them! When it was over i was surprised, was it really already over? Dissapointment flooded me. I didnt want to leave, and go back home. I wanted to watch the boys sing all day! But of course there still was the signing! We started heading out with everyone else and heard people talking about the signing and saw people running, so we followed. We eventually got there and saw the line of hundreds of girls waiting, with more showing up. We quickly got in line.
I tried looking around people trying to see where the front of the line was and how far away we were, but there were so many people i couldn't see.
"How long do you think it'll take?" I asked Gabi.
"I'm assuming a while, but thats what we came her for!" Ugh, I thought to myslef. This is gonna be a while. But it'll all be worth it...
