"Okay, two of you guys are going to have to go backstage and be medics at a music festival." Zoe said on her first day of clinical lead. She jumped when Sam's hand flew up.
"I'll go!" Sam wanted to go. She was good with crowds and she loved music.
"Alright, we have one. We need another." Zoe said, as she watched Tom smile and put his hand up. Zoe knew that there was something between the two of them.
"I will." Tom said, and Sam smiled excitedly. "When do we go?"
"Well, they need you there before it starts and it starts in an hour." Zoe said. "So I suggest you get going."
"Okay." Sam said. She was in for an exciting day.
They walked out of the staff room and grabbed some reflective jackets and the green bags full of equiptment they would need.
"See you." Sam said and Nick was there to wave them off. He couldn't understand why they were so excited. He had been them once, going to a music festival, but it was all people that had passed out from excitement, dehydration, or too much drugs in their system. He didn't tell them though. He would wait for them to find out.
"Bye. Have fun." He said as they got into the car.
They arrived at the festival half an hour later, and the queues were huge already. There was someone to meet them outside and took them away from the queues and into the tents they would use.
"We are actually backstage at a music festival..." Tom said as they walked into the tents. Sam put the bag down and went for a sneak peak. The stage was huge. They were currently testing all of the lighting as the grounds slowly filled up.
"Wow..." Sam said, beaming at the sight of it. "Do you know who is performing?"
"Yeah!" Tom said. "I wanted tickets but I had to work instead so I am actually glad I got in for free."
"So, who's performing then?"
"Muse, JessieJ, Florence and the machine, The wanted, um... Rita Ora..."
"Florence is the best." Sam said. "Wow."
"Its cool isn't it?" Tom said, peaking out with her. "I wish we were standing down there though."
"Me too but this is better than nothing!" Sam said, and gasped. "Omg look."
"What?" He said as she pointed to the other side of the stage.
"Its Jessie J!" Sam told him and he looked.
"Oh yeah! So it is." Tom said. "Lets go and see who we can find, shall we?"
"Are we allowed to?" Sam asked.
"We don't have backstage passes for nothing, you know." He smirked, and they went to wander around.
They went everywhere. They saw Florence, and Sam waved at her, and surprisingly Florence walked up to them and started a conversation.
"Hey! You the medics?" She asked. Sam struggled to find the words.
"Um, yeah. We are." She said. "Im Sam and thats Tom."
"Hi." Tom said.
"Awesome." Florence said.
"I can't wait until you perform." Sam said. "I love your music."
"Aww thats sweet." Florence replied. "Whats your favourite song?"
"I have loads of favourites! But probably Spectrum at the minute."
"Great!" Florence said.
"Um, do you think we could get a photo with you?" Sam asked, hoping the answer would be a yes.
"Of course!" Florence replied, and Sam thanked her and got out her phone. Tom, Florence and Sam stood together and they got a stage manager to take the photo. He handed back Sam's phone and she thanked him.
"Thank you so much!" Sam said to Florence. "Really appreciate it."
"Its fine." Florence smiled. "I had better go and get ready."
"Yeah okay." Sam said, thrilled. "Can't wait until the festival starts."
"I hope you enjoy it!" Florence said as she walked away. "Bye!"
"Bye!" Tom and Sam said at the same time.
"Oh. My. God." Sam said as she rounded the corner back into their tents.
"Woah are you going to go all fan girl on me?" Tom said, backing away slightly.
"Maybe just a little bit." Sam said. "We just met Florence for crying out loud! Let me post it on my twitter page."
"Why?"
"Incase I delete it from my phone by accident and then I know its on twitter." Sam said.
"Good idea." He said and watched her do it.
Halfway through, music started to play and the voice of Jessie J filled the grounds.
"Take me down likeim a domino..." Sam began to sing under her breath making Tom sigh.
"Im going to have to put up with this all day aren't I?" Tom said. Sam didn't stop singing but she smiled at him.
Jessie J sang a few songs before the music suddenly stopped. Sam got confused as it was in the middle of a song.
"Whats going on?" Sam said, as she suddenly heard screaming.
"Im not sure..." Tom said, and Sam went to peak on the stage.
The curtain along the back had gone up in flames, and Jessie had fled the stage. People in the crowd were rushing out.
"Oh my god." Sam said, rushing back to the tents as the spotlights went up in flames. "We are going to have to go out to the crowd. You know that there will be pile ups and people pushing and shoving."
"Good idea." Tom said. "Someone would have called 999 right?"
"Someone should have." Sam said, gathering everything together. "Shall we go?"
"Yeah." Tom said, and they left to go through the crowd.
