\\"…Tom, um… I've been meaning to tell you something…"

"What is it Dezirae?"

"…I… I…" I took a deep breath and released "I love you"

Tom's eyebrows raised "oh, it that so?" the left side of his mouth raised into a half smile "Well guess what Dezi?" I looked at Tom with curious eyes "I lov-"/

**BEEP BEEP**

"ugh!" I grunted as I reached for my alarm clock to hit the off button. I slowly sat up in my bed to make sure I didn't fall back to sleep. Given that my room was in the basement it always seemed to get cold in my room, especially in the winter. I rubbed arms to warm myself up when I noticed something on my arm… Goosebumps. "Wow, I literally got Goosebumps from that dream." That was an amazing dream. I always loved having dreams of Tom Kaulitz. He was so dreamy.

I wanted to go back to sleep to see if I could finish my dream and see what happens, but unfortunately I couldn't. I had to go to work. Ugh, I hated going to work. One I worked at a shoe store, right there sucks. I mean retail sucks in general but working with shoes is probably the worse, some people are just so picky it's ridiculous. Two you have to always remember "the customer is always right" I call bull shit on that. There has been so many times that I wanted to snap on customers. Hopefully I won't be there to much longer. I turned my head to look at my Tokio Hotel poster "I hope I am able to get tomorrow off…"

I quickly looked at my clock, 9:15, "holy shit! I only got a half hour to get ready" So without any hesitation I jumped out of bed grabbed my uniform and headed upstairs to hop in the shower. I always hated taking short showers but today I didn't care. I already had woken up late so I needed to get to work on time!

As soon as I hoped out of the shower I looked at my phone, 9:37, "Dammit! I need to hurry up or Wayne won't even think about letting me get tomorrow off!"

I threw on my uniform as fast as I could, brushed my teeth and just threw my hair in a half ponytail. I rushed out the bathroom as headed straight through the front door and on the way I swooped up my purse and an apple. "Bye mom" I yelled just as the door closed behind me. I trudged through the snow to my car and headed off to work. Luckily I got to the mall with 10 minutes to spare. Yay me! I parked the car a good distance away from the entrance to avoid people who don't know how to park their vehicles.

I began, again, to trudge through the snow making my way into the mall. I've lived in Minnesota my whole life, but still the start of winter is always the worst. Having to get use to the cold all over again. So it felt good to be inside the warm mall.

I walked into the mall and shook the little flurries of snow that still sat in my hair out. I looked around the mall to see how busy it was and noticed someone with dreadlocks. For a split second, my heart skipped a beat. I then shook my head again and realized that it was just some random guy. I sighed. "get a hold of yourself Dez, your loosing it girl" I then took out my phone to look at the time, 9:50. "I got ten minutes to spare, better go check and make sure everything it still going on for tomorrow"

I walked to the south half of the mall to go to Hot Topic "Hi, can I help you find anything today?" one of the employees asks.

"No thank you, I was just wondering if the Tokio Hotel signing session was still going on tomorrow"

"Yup, tomorrow at 7pm."

"Sweet, thank you." I smiled at the kind associate

"not a problem, hope to see you tomorrow" She smiled back at me

I hope so too, I thought to myself. I really would love to go!

I checked my phone again. I always made sure I was on time for work, but today as long as I was there why not be 5 minutes early, better late then never. It's not like Hot Topic was far from my store, just across the hall. I walked into my store "good morning Dezirae! How are you doing this morning?" My manger Wayne greets me. This was kind of weird, he never seems this happy, something must be up.

"I'm pretty good actually. Hey Wayne, do you mind walking in the back with me for a minute while I put my stuff away? I need to ask you something."

"sure thing, I'll be right back there" He walks over to the other employees and talks to them for a few seconds the follows me to the back. I put my jacket and purse away and meet Wayne in the back office "What's up Dezirae?"

"I was… uh… Wondering if I could get tomorrow off…"

He sighs

"I know it's very late notice and all but I real-"

"No you can't." he interrupts me. I stop mid sentence "Dezirae, it's the busiest time of the year. It's a week before Christmas and you want to take a day off? Not going to happen." His anger began to show, I knew he couldn't stay all cheery and giddy. "Now that's all settled, I'm going to go back out on the floor and I need you on the floor ASAP." He walks out of the office as casual as ever. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes, I can't believe I won't be able to meet my favorite band.

"Why me?"

My whole day was long. Not even the fact that I worked open to close, but it didn't help that the words "No you can't!" kept repeating in my head.

When my shift was over and I walked out of my store I couldn't even look at HT, knowing that would be the place where her favorite band will be and she wouldn't even be able to see them. With that on my mind, I just gradually left the mall, hopped in my car and went home and when I got home I went right downstairs to my room and cried myself to sleep…

…...

Info: Dezirae A.K.A Dez, is a 17 yr. old girl from America. She is your typical American girl. She loves hanging out with her friends when she's not working. She is mixed (German, A. American, native) with medium brown hair and brown eyes. She is a big Tokio Hotel fan who had always had the dream of meeting them. She had been a fan for about a year now. Charlie (Her best friend) was just as big of a fan (she's been a fan for about 3 years, so she gives Dezi all the information on them). Neither of them knew what they had in store all they knew is that their lives were about to change…
