Another long night at work, i thought. I got into my Mercedes Benz i got as a graduation, birthday gift about two years ago. I turned on the radio "Call now if you want to see Ed Sheeran and One Direction live tomorrow" the radio announcer said. As they started playing Live While We're young by One Direction, who is one of the most popular boy bands in the world. I dialed as fast as i could i had BBC Hits 1 on speed dial. It was ringing always a good sign. "Hello" i said "HI! You are caller number thirteen come pick up your tickets tonight until 9 or tomorrow until 11 or your tickets will be given to someone else what is your name?" the preppy voice said. "Camilla Cambell is my name and i will be there in about 20 minutes" i said smiling. "Alright see you then bring proof of identification" she said. I hung up the phone. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I'm going to see ginger jesus whoop whoop" i sang excitedly while doing a U-Turn to get to the radio station. I had to call Mackenzie, i was in major freak out mode. "Hello?" Mack said. "Hey Mack, what are you doing tomorrow night?" "Nothing probably going to sit watch Mean Girls for the 500th time and eat nutella out of the jar" Mack said. "Oh, you sound pretty busy i guess you don't wanna see Ed Sheeran and One Direction with me tomorrow night then" i said sounding sad. "WHAT? MY NUTELLA CAN WAIT I WANNA GO SEE MY BABIES!" Mack yelled at me through the phone. I laughed "So, i'll take that as a yes.. come to my flat you have a key i'll be there in a bit i have to get the tickets first" i said excitedly. "Okay, i'll be there girl" she said. I pulled up and parked my car. I went to get the tickets, I was wearing all black from work as a hairstylist. I went in. "Hi, I'm Camilla Cambell I won the One Direction, Ed Sheeran tickets today" I said happily to the girl at the front desk she looked no older than 17. "Right this way Camilla" she said and gave me a dirty look. She probably wanted the tickets too, people would die for these tickets. "Congrats! So, the tickets are on the floor second row In the middle. Also, you get two wristbands to come see One Direction here at the studio tomorrow at 2:30" the girl said. "Thank you so much! I'm so excited!" I said as she handed me the tickets and wristbands. I ran out and got in the car. Hopefully, the traffic wont be too bad getting to my flat. I turned on my IPod and jammed out. "CAUSE IM SLIM SHADY YEAH IM THE REAL SHADY ALL YOU OTHER SLIM SHADYS' ARE JUST IMITATING" i yelled. I finally got to my flat. Mack, was just sitting there eating Nutella, which wasn't very surprising. "You're HERE!!!" Mack yelled and pulled me on to the couch. "Okay, tell me everything, don't leave out one single detail." She said. So, i did i told her everything. She just sat there with her mouth open. "Close your mouth you're going to catch flies" i told her laughing. She closed her mouth but everything on her face looked the same. "Don't you have to work tomorrow until 7?" Mack asked me. "Oh fudge! I do, i'll call some of my co-workers and see if they'll work for me" i told Mack. "Alright, you are 21 years old you should know your work schedule by now" Mac said sternly but jokingly. I just laughed. 

"Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep" I hit my alarm clock, thinking it would shut up. "Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep" "What the heck?" I say sitting up looking at the alarm clock next to me. Its not even going off. I look to the other side there sits Mackenzie 'Beeping' at me. I hit her lightly on the head, overreacting Mackenzie falls off the bed dramatically. "Okay It's 11:30 you need to wake up and find someone to take over your shift" Mack told me. I grabbed my cell phone and dialed my favorite co-workers number. "Hello?" Nicole said. "Hi Nicole, it's Camilla I was wondering if you would take over my shift tonight?" I asked in my nicest voice. "Yeah, I'm not doing anything important if you don't mind why do you need me to take over your shift?" She asked "Thank you so much! Well last night i won Ed Sheeran One Direction tickets" i exclaimed. "Oh My Goodness! That's crazy well have fun girl! I'll see you on Tuesday!" Nicole said hanging up. "Oh Mackieee Poo!" i called Mack by her least favorite nickname. "Don't you dare call me that Camilla Christina Cambell" Mack said laughing. "Oh, stop you know you love it." i said. We got ready and by 1:30 we were on our way to London. Mack and I lived in Stratford which wasn't far from London. The radio was great the One Direction boys looked beautiful as usual. People would say 'No one's perfect' but these boys are perfect. During their performance my Mom thought it would be a good time to call me. The ringtone was Kanye West her favorite rap artist, face got redder than a tomato. It was finally time for the performance Mack and I went to the arena. I was driving " I want I want I want but thats crazy!" Mack sang. We got there and parked. It was really crowded. Mack and I made our way to our seats they were a perfect view of the stage i could nearly touch it. I looked cool as a cucumber but really i was dying inside. I loved this boy band too much. I don't think its good for my health to like someone this much. Ed Sheeran came on. Looking perfect, i just cannot deal with that ginger hair of his he is also too perfect for his own good. "White lips, pale face, breathing in snowflakes" he sang and everyone else chorused. Ed, sang some other songs from his CD. He was fantastical I would be way to scared to get up and sing in front of a sold out arena. One Direction came out. "AAAHHHHHHHH!" Mack screamed right in my ear. "Was that necessary?" i asked her " I SWEAR HARRY JUST WINKED AT ME" She exclaimed pretending to faint. "Oh calm down and stop being such a drama queen" i said. "Me?!?! A drama queen. Never." She said sarcastically. Mack and I danced the night away. We were dancing like crazy people. I got Niall and Liam to look at me. I died. I screamed so much my voice was nearly gone. The concert ended with the boys and Ed Sheeran singing 'Little Things' that Ed Sheeran wrote but One Direction sings. I never think i've seen anything more perfect than that. We left the arena and got in the car, started driving. "That was the best concert of my life" Mack said her voice was very hoarse. "It really was" i said pulling up to a stop sign. I looked both ways before continuing there were no cars. I started driving out of nowhere i saw a bright light and a car had hit the drivers side. We were both on the side. "Ow! This really hurts!" Mack exclaimed. "I know, I know hold on" i said trying to get her seat belt off and succeeding. "Okay your seat belt is out do you think you can move?" I asked "Yeah! Definitely are you oka- Oh My GOD! you are covered in blood!" Mack exclaimed. I felt my eyelids getting very heavy. "Come Cam, don't close your eyes you have to stay awake" Mack said appearing to my side. "I just need a nap" i said. "No, no no! No naps!" Mack said sternly. My eyelids shut and i felt blackness surrounding me. 

I yawed. White walls were surrounding me. Am I in heaven? What happened last night? Where am I? I finally built up strength to open my eyes. Mack jumped up "She's awake! She's awake!" Mack said quite loudly. "What's going on" I asked seeing my Mom, Dad and my older sister. I saw a dozen roses sitting at a table beside me. "You were in a car accident, not a very bad one the doctor wanted to keep you overnight" my mom said soothingly. "Oh okay" i said. The doctor came into the room. "Hi Miss Cambell how are you feeling today?" the doctor asked "I feel fine" i said "What is the date today" he asked "June 4, 2012" i said calmly "Good" he flashed lights in my eyes. "Alright, I think she's good to go" the doctor said turning towards my parents. Mack and I went back to my flat. Mack made me some tea, i quickly feel asleep. i got some rest like the doctor told me too. 

"Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep" i turned towards the other side of my bed and hit nothingness. it was my alarm clock, 8:45 am it read. I stretched my arms out. Mack walked into my bedroom, "Did we go to a One Direction concert and then get hit by a car yesterday?" i asked. Mack looked at me like i was speaking a different language, then quickly ran over to feel my head. "Are you feeling okay? Are you ill" she asked quickly. "No, I'm fine i better get ready for work" I said. That sure was one odd dream. I went to work it was a fairly quick day, just a regular Friday. Got in my car and went to my flat, this was my favorite time of day just driving home from work it was a quiet calming time. I turned on the radio "Call now! if you want tickets to the Ed Sheeran, One Direction concert tomorrow" the radio girl said. My eyes widen, i called just for kicks and giggles not thinking i would ever win in a million years. I dialed the number and it started ringing. "Hi! you are caller number 13!" the girl exclaimed. "No! I'm not! I shouted in the phone and hung up. I got to my flat and went along with my day as usual.
