In My Dreams

Chapter 23 Dakota's POV

As we started driving down the road the boys followed close behind and I'm pretty sure our music was so loud that they could hear it in their car over their music. But that okay. Taylor and I loved loud music.

I looked over at her and she had a smile on her face. Something that I hadn't seen in awhile. And I liked it. She then saw me looking at her and turned down the music.
"I can't believe that I never even told them my name. That's so funny." She said laughing.
All I could do was smile and laugh with her.
"I know right. That's too funny. I wonder why they never asked though."
"Who knows. Probably because they were too busy kidnapping me, so I could drive them to the gas station." She chuckled as she looked over at me.
"Good point."
We turned the music back up and cruised along the highway. I liked it just being us. We talked about everything and nothing at the same time. We laughed about everything and sang to just about every song that came on the radio.

The car ride seemed to take forever. But we finally made it at 8:45 just in time for the boys concert. They seemed happy about that. When we pulled up to the stadium it was packed. People were everywhere. By the look on Taylor's face she looked like she was going to have a panic attack but, she looked happy at the same time.
"Hey, are you okay?"
"Uhm. What? Yeah. Sure. I guess so." She said looking around.
"Are you sure? You look like you're going to have a panic attack."
"You're right. I didn't think of this before. But I think I might. I thought I could do this but seeing all these people. I don't think I can." She was breathing heavy now. And I really didn't know what to do.

I tried to calm her down but nothing seemed to be helping. And then the boys walked over to our car in disguises and tapped on the window. Taylor turned away from them so that they couldn't see what was happening.
"See what they want. I can't have them see me like this." She said breathing even heavier now.
"Okay."
I got out of the car and walked to the other side to see what they wanted. When I got over there they looked at me in confusion.
"Uhm. She has a problem. But she's fine. What did you guys need?" I prayed that they didn't ask anymore questions about her and they didn't. But Luke opened the car door and pulled Taylor out.
"Stop." Was all she said turning away from him.
But he didn't. He just embraced her into a tight hug. Her breathing started to slow back down after a few minutes and she looked like herself again. But she also looked embarrassed. I knew that she would be because they would be the last people she wanted to see her like that. But they did.

After about 5 minutes of us just standing there in an awkward silence Taylor finally spoke up.
"You can let me go now. I'm okay. Really."
Luke let her go and since her back was turned to him, he turned her around to look at him.
"Are you sure?" He asked tilting her head up to look at him. She nodded and gave him a smile. And I heard a faint "thank you." Escape from her mouth.

I was beyond excited for the concert. The boys then gave us our tickets and backstage passes. Which surprised me at first because why would we need back stage passes? But I guess they want to see us after the show.
We got in there and found our spots, we were pretty close to the front which was awesome.

-

They played just about every song that I love except for 'Wherever You Are' which upset me but that was okay because their show rocked. And not to mention that they looked so hot up there. And Michael in his SnapBack with his sweaty hair could have been the death of me. And Taylor only had about two panic attacks while we were in there and looked like she was enjoying herself. She was okay until the concert was over and everyone was trying to pile out. Since we were close to the front the boys popped their heads out and hollered for us to come back stage a different way so we didn't have to squeeze through the crowd.
