Darkness and What Came After

Trendy But Casual

"Okay, so the concert is in... what time is it?" I asked Paige while pouring all my neatly packed clothes onto the mattress. 

"It's only ten in the morning, Rose. The concert is at seven at night. We have time, no worries," Paige calmly replied as she sat at the edge of her bed. 

"I'm sorry, I dress to impress. We are going to have dinner with them tonight, I'm determined to look snazzy," I said stressed out. 

Paige walked over and grabbed my turquoise infinity scarf, white T-shirt that had a large black heart on it, and my black poofy skirt with white polka dots. 

"There ya go, trendy but casual," Paige threw the clothes onto my face, "perfecto! Mwah!" 

"Thank you so much my fair lady," I said with my lips smooched together seriously, "what are you going to wear?" 

"I don't know, I guess these HOT pink jean shorts, and... hmm, what shirt?" Paige grabbed the shorts. 

"I like this!" I screeched pointing to a black buttoned down translucent shirt, "Unless you would rather wear this black shirt with a cute kitty face sewn on it!" 

"Haha, I'll take the button down. Accessories? I need something on my neck that makes me look super cute," Paige searched her clothes, "I would wear an infinity scarf but we don't want to look too matchy-matchy." 

"A bold gold necklace, but it has to be choker. Don't want it bouncing up and down your neck." 

"I have one, actually! And I brought it!" 

I walked over to the bathroom with my clothes giggling to myself and saying, "That's my girl!" 

I came out of the bathroom and the room smelt like pure vanilla, but perfect, perfume always does.

I grabbed my hot pink ballet flats and threw Paige's black flats at her face. 

"Woah there, feisty!" Paige chased after me. 

"Oh calm down, we are going to spend a whole night with the five most known people in the world in about ten minutes! Take a chill pill!" I yelled back at Paige. 

We sprinted down five flights of stairs with our shoes in one hand, wallet in the other, and hair up in perfect high ponytails. When we reached the lobby we walked out of the hotel through the door and immediately spotted a black, long, gorgeous, limo... for us. 

The chauffeur greeted and bowed to us, This is too much. My fairytale! I fangirled in my head. We hopped into the limo without giving the chauffeur a chance to open the door for is. Obviously, we weren't meant for the famous life. 

Driving past the LG Arena Birmingham gave me butterflies, the greatest feeling in me made my whole face light up. I could tell something was going to happen in there, I didn't know if it was going to be good or a nightmare. Based on the fact that all the members of One Direction are in there right now, less than 200 feet from me, it was going to be great. 

"You okay, Rose?" Paige laughed absent-mindedly. 

"No! This is what I've been waiting for since I was born! Oh god, I'm just overwhelmed by the excitement!" I said as loudly as I could. 

"We'll here you are girls; and congratulations on the concert tickets," the chauffeur smiled. 

"Thank you so much," I said, followed by an echo of Paige saying the same thing. 

We began to stand up and the door of the limo opened for us to exit the limo. I gave a smile and waved to the chauffeur while walking up the steps to the light-filled stadium. It felt like I was walking to heaven, my destiny.
