Fortunately Unfortunate - Harry Styles

33-Picnic

I arrive at the Forum and naturally, fans are already here and lined up. I park and find the back entrance Harry had mentioned to me at one point yesterday. Sure enough, there is a number padlock. I type in the code he told me yesterday, hoping I remember it correctly. 47568. It works thank goodness. I lug all my equipment through the back door and see the hallway Rebecca and I had waited in last night. I am not sure where to go from here. I don't see anyone around either. Did I go through the wrong back door? I text Harry really quickly.

Tiffany

I am here inside the back door.
Where should I go?

Harry

I'll meet you there.

Thankfully he responded quickly. I don't know how long he will be so I put some of my heavy stuff down like my taller tripods and large camera. I scroll on TikTok for a bit while I wait and of course, all the videos people took from last night are coming up on my FYP. It's nice to see these and actually remember that it happened. As I continue to watch, it doesn't take long to find a few fans had panned their phones over to Becca and me with captions such as "'Flower' is back in the family friends section" and "Seems like Harry invited 'Flower' and her friend again"

It is so weird to see that people recognize me. Even weirder to think they only know me as Flower. I had forgotten that's what Harry called me when he came back on stage that night after my sugars dropped. It's cute.

It took him no more than 5 minutes to get to me.

"Tiff! I'm glad you made it, here, let me help you with everything," he says as he starts grabbing the things I had put down on the floor. I notice he is wearing a white T-shirt and some blue joggers with some running shoes. Makes me feel much more confident in what I chose to wear.

"Thank you, Harry, I know it's a lot," I say as he is picking up the last item.

"Yeah, actually how'd you manage all this alone?"

"I just do my best and pray I don't drop anything," I say as we both laugh.

"Well I am glad I could be of help. Here, this way, I will show you where you can set up, there are a few options".

I follow him through the hallway and things become more familiar but this time we are going out to where the main stage is. It is crazy to be down here with no one else, it's somewhat peaceful. I see why Harry wants to stay after his shows to take it in.

"This is where most photographers prefer to set up but let's put your stuff down and I will show some other options"
He walks me around the stage and shows me all the many spots. He explains how Lloyd often doesn't use any sort of tripod and just constantly moves about the stage. I take it all in. I do see one location he had not mentioned which was the exit in which he runs off at the end of the night. All the other locations are great but I have a vision for some framing from under the opening where he runs off.

"These are all great, thank you for showing me around. I um, I was wondering what about right over there?" I ask as I point to the direction in which I was hoping to try.

"You mean like under the seats basically?" He asks and seems confused as to why I would want to be way back there when all of the other spots were right near the stage.

"Yeah, I mean I love the other locations and I am excited to test them out during your sound check but I had a vision for that spot back there but if not it's totally fine I was just--"

"No need to explain, you can try it out, whatever you'd like, I trust your vision. Would you like to set up now or did you wanna eat, I have our Yumwiches" he laughs at his play-on-words with the name. I can't help but smile.
