This summer I was planning to do nothing as usual but my mom treated me to a Taylor Swift Concert with meet n greet included, honestly I couldn't say no common its Taylor swift were talking about here. Amway after the concert I waited back stage for her, the sign that said T-party. The meet n greet was fantastic! While she was coming up my way she said to me
"I heard you singing from the second row, you sing great! I was wondering if you wanted to go on tour with me for the rest of the summer"
"Uh sure! But let me ask my mom"
"Ok" Taylor swift while going to next person and she met and greeted her.
"She said yes but I need to back at the end of July so I could pick up uniform for the 7th grade"
"Ok ill give my number and from there you give your address and I will see you tomorrow by the way what's your name"
"Leslie, Leslie Castillo, you can call me les"
"Bye Leslie have a safe trip home" Taylor waved goodbye to me and I went home with a wide grin and Taylor's actual cell phone number
I was eager to call so I decide to call her in the morning and last night I had invited Johana over to my house, even though she thought taylor.s was annoying and she wasn't the biggest fan so she humored me and smiled.
It was 9:00 and I was already up, I was usually up by 9:30
"Hello?" I said
"Leslie? Hey this is your number?"
"Yea, I have my stuff ready, heres my address: 474 E 146th between Willis and broke ave
Ok?"
"Got it! Ok ill see you soon…bye"
"Bye" I was hyper and jumpy already. Tay was my role model and I felt truly blessed.
The door bell rang and I went to greet her.
"Hi Taylor" I said while trying being calm, my mom always said: always make a first good impression. I couldn't I was trembling.
"Hi Leslie!'' She hugged me "Why are you Trembling?"
"Uh-uh"
"You ok?"
"Yea, its just Im so happy that I tend to tremble"
"Ok well Ill put your bags in the bus and say goodbye to your mom"
"MMM k" I went upstairs to say good bye to my mom before I ran downstairs she said me:Good luck, have fun and do your best ok? I nodded and left downstairs.
"Hi" I said to the driver while getting on the tour bus
"Hi you are?"
"Leslie Castillo, Taylor's second backup singer right next to Liz" the guy was build, his hair was spiked up a bit and green eyes
"Cool" then Taylor got back on the bus
"I see you met Stephen"
"Yea" I said while looking around the bus, looking a little distant. It was silent
"Anyway" Taylor breaking the silence "I want you to meet the band" she with so much joy in her voice then she pointed to her band sitting, chatting, slipping on coke, cracking up and listing to music "Here is the whole band:
Grant Mickelson- Lead Guitar
Elizabeth Huett- Backup vocalist
Amos Heller- Bass
Paul Sidoti- GuitarCaitlin Evanson- Fiddle
Al Wilson- Drums and
Ben Clark- Banjo" she said loud enough to catch there attention.
"Hey Taylor whos the little girl next to you" Grant asked
"Im Leslie Castillo, you must be grant" I shook his hand
"Liz Huett, hey" she waved her hand at me
"She's cute!" Amos laughed "Im Amos Heller" he shook my hand
"Paul Sidoti, hey" I chuckled and moved on
"Caitlin Evanson" she shook my hand
"Hey, im Al Wilson and that's quite Ben or we sometimes call him Benny Clark"
"Cool, just like a guy I know, his name is Alex Rodriguez, he's quite when teachers are around but when teachers aren't around he's funny! "I smiled wide when I said funny because it reminded me of Sterling Pardo
"Alright Liz, Leslie is going to be working with you for the rest of the summer ok?"
"Yea sure, I remember when Caitlin was the new member"
"Yea whatever! You love working with Taylor, very entertaining and funny" Caitlin said
"Ok!" I sat down and took out my phone to call Johana, but I looked out the window and waved goodbye to my home with some tears coming down my checks and I whispered :Bye new York I love you like I love sterling, ill call Johana later its summer" I felt myself smile a little.
"Sooooo Taylor where were going first?" I asked
"Charlotte, North Carolina at the Verzion Amphitheater"
"Cool! Ive been to North Carolina before, I lived there for 2 years, I went for the fourth and fifth grade then over summer I went back to New York"
"Cool" Tay said , going over the tour dates then Caitlin and Liz came out with Ipod speakers, a big teddy bear and a basket filled peanut butter and chocolate candies
"Whoa this is sick!" I was amazed; I had new Ipod speakers, a cute teddy bear that I was going to name Samuel. K Roth or Sam Roth plus I had my two fave things peanut butter and chocolate!
Together! "Thanks Taylor and everyone! It means a lot thank you!" I put my phone in my pocket and hugged everyone.
"Welcome" they said together, then I felt my phone vibrating I looked it, smiled it was Jojo so I picked it up
"Hey I was going to call you later, what sup? Nothing you, on Taylor Swifts tour bus, dead serious, im not playing jojo! Fine you want proof fine, here Taylor swift herself, Tay talk to my friend Johana she doesn't believe that im on your tour bus she thinks I snuck in"
"Ok, hello? Hi Johana this is Taylor, Leslie wasn't lying, yea ok, here" Taylor hands her back her phone
"Told you ok ttyl "and they hung up then someone goes behind Taylor and covers her eyes
"Guess who?" said the mystery person
"Hmmm, Lena? My Patrick Dempsey? Drew seleey?"
"No it's me" he took away his hands and it was Taylor Launter "Hey"
"Taylor, how'd you get in?"
"Caitlin let me in when you went to talk to this lovely little teen, Leslie, I saw your bus and I went and hid, then came out when the time was right"
"come sit" the Taylor's sat next to each other in the booth and began signing Oh it is love ~ hellogoodbye
"Wow love at first sight huh?'
10 hours later by the ninth hour I was wake and everyone was sleeping, I slept most of the ride and I was fine
"Life is…" (As seen in fiction press-poetrylover3) I said quietly to myself and wrote it down in my poetry notebook
Life is anything
Life is everything
Life is like doge ball
Life can be interrupted
In different ways
Life is Courage
Life is pain, sadness, and
Doubt
Life is full of great friends
Anything and everything is
And can have life
Life is fearless but you
Jump anyway
Life has no limits, all
We see is a dim image
In the mirror
Life is like a beautiful garden
In the spring
Life is a gorgeous sunset in the
Evening sky or even a wonderful
Sunflower or rose
Life is a journey which we take a
Road that leads us somewhere better
Than where we are now
That's life is
Life is like the pouring rain it comes then
Goes and takes away the sun
Life is laughter and happiness
It heals the broken soul
Now that's life…………
Life is anything
Life is everything
But Life is what YOU
Think life is
I finish the poem by 11:00 which was the time we got there we had a concert the next day so we stayed at Casa de Castillo
"Wow beautiful home" Taylor.l whispered as he carried Liz and in set her in the room next to Caitlin's, then carried Taylor to the guest room. Paul, grant, Al and Ben came in also along with Stephen and Amos who was carrying Caitlin.
"Awww we have two gentle men, Amos and Taylor.l "
"Yea ok, guys here" I said while tossing blankets to them on the master bedroom the guys slept on the floor, Caitlin was in my room, Liz was in my brother's room and Taylor was in the guest room I slept in my parents olds bed.
