Chapter 2

Celia

"Holy. Shit." 

I muttered as I took in just how many girls were crowded against the barriers on the side of the road, one which security guards had to block off so they didn't run off into the road to get run over

The whole city is here,  girls are lined up as far as the eye can see.

I felt Allysa grab my arm and start to drag me down the road

"we have to get to the front before more come!"

MORE are coming?!

I didn't object as she dragged me down the street and headfirst into the crowd, slipping around girls shoving each other into the ground to get to the front

We popped out the other side, and I was immediately pressed up against the barrier

"can you back off?!"

I turned around and glared at the girl who shoved me and raised my eyebrows

"Seriously. Back off."

She stepped back a bit and gave me an apologetic look

"Sorry. Its REALLY crowded."

I nodded and turned back around, slipping my headphones over my ears to block out the noise.

I pulled my phone out and opened spotify, pressing play on one of marinas songs.

We stood there for around ten minutes before I felt the crowd start to get restless

I felt Allysa yank my headphones down and scream in my ear about a limo

"They're here!!!"

Oh god

I turned off my music and grabbed the railing to avoid getting shoved over the side

The door to a shiny black limo was opened by a couple of security guards, and four guys in skinny jeans stepped out

And the hysterics in three, two...

Th crowd went insane. The shoving got violent, the screaming got louder, and I felt one of the girls kick me in the back. 

Seriously, how did she get the room to kick me in the middle of my fucking back?

I felt Allysa grab my arm and practically dislocate it as she jumped up and down

"Jesus Christ Allysa!"

She let go and I pulled my headphones back up, trying to ignore their screaming

It sounded like they were getting stabbed, they were pretty much throwing each other into the sidewalk to get to the front, probably to touch them

The guys slowly went down the line, signing pictures and posters, taking photos or whatever

I glanced at Allysa, who had a murderous glint in her eye as she leaned over the barrier to get one of them to sign the shirt she brought with her

And that's when I felt it.

One of the girls grabbed me by the shoulders and shoved me halfway over the barrier.

I felt my breath leave my body in a whoosh and struggled to not fall headfirst over the barrier

You know when in movies before your death, time seems to slow down?

Yea, it wasn't like that.

It actually felt like a second, everything sped up to 3 times speed.

I felt my feet momentarily leave the ground and struggled as I tried to back-pedal 

I managed to stay on my side and get my feet back onto the ground, but unfortunately for me, I felt my knees buckle under me because of my lack of breath
