"Girls!" Hayden said excitedly

"What?!" Autumn and I both asked.

"In half an hour the doors open!!!" We all three started screaming like little school girls. After we calmed down a bit, as much as we could, I looked behind me. There was a stream of people all waiting to get in. The line went on forever. I thought about how it must suck being at the very end because it would take such a long time before you were finally in the building. Autumn, Hayden and I were at the very front of one of the lines at our gate. There were three lines forming. We were so glad to be in the front. I wouldn't even be able to be in the middle of the line because I would get way too impatient especially when I knew the doors were open, but I wasn't in the building yet.

When we first got here there were only a couple other fans waiting. We ended up talking to these two girls who were around the same age as us. We talked about the most randomest things you could possibly think of, just to pass the time. They had gotten there at 10 o'clock in the morning! I thought we were there early, but they definitely had us beat. Waiting in line with them made it a lot more fun. We basically laughed the entire time, took some selfies, and discussed our love for the boys.

"Riley, look," Autumn said. "The security guards are about to open the doors!" I watched them behind the closed doors. They were standing in a circle talking. After what seemed like forever they finally walked towards the doors. Three of the doors opened up and four guards came out of each door. They told us to move back behind the tables that were set up. We all obliged.

5 minutes later of just standing there, they let us is. I had to show one of them what was in my purse, and I had to give my ticket to another guard for them to scan. My heart skipped a beat when my feet crossed the threshold. We were here, we were really here. I grabbed Hayden and Autumn's hands, and we raced towards the giant sign that said To Floor Seats.

When we got to our seats we saw these pieces of paper that were spread out across the seats. There was a canadian flag heart on it and it said We missed you. I picked up one of the papers and that was on my seat and noticed it had a sticky note on it. On the top in bold letters it said Fan Project. In smaller thin black letters underneath it said Hold this up when the boys sing Don't Forget Where You Belong.

"Awww, this is literally the cutest idea! The boys will love it!" Autumn exclaimed.

"I think we should give ours to someone else though," Hayden said.

"What? Why?" I questioned her.

"Well because we have our giant sign and it works perfectly with this theme."

"Oh yeah! It totally does," Autumn clasped her hands together.

"What would we do without you Hayden," I said unrolling our sign. We had made it into a Canadian flag and on it we wrote Vancouver is here FOUR you. I was so happy with how it turned out and even happier we could use it for this fan project.

As we were waiting for the opening act to come out, I took a moment to look around. The roof on the stadium was open and the sun was shining through. The seats on the floor were black and white and the seats in stands were red and grey. More and more people flooded the stadium, all looking for their seats. It didn't feel real that I was actually there. I looked over at Hayden and Autumn. They were both looking around at everything in the stadium, and I knew they felt the same way as me. It felt like a dream.

Finally the opening act came out. It was Icona Pop, and they were super cute! Even though Hayden, Autumn and I only knew a few songs we still partied hard.

The last song they played was I Don't Care (I Love It). Everybody was on their feet singing alone, because it was the only one we all knew.

It wasn't very long after Icona Pop left that the crowd was getting antsy. Everyone wanted the boys to come out now. All of a sudden I noticed a commotion and realized that some people had started the wave. It was the coolest thing ever watching the people stand up and sit back down. It was the most intense wave I've ever seen. There wasn't one person that didn't participate in it and it lasted a lot longer than you'd think. You could tell everyone was hyped up.

After it died down, there we sat waiting. We kept ourselves occupied with some small talk. It was probably 15 minutes after the wave when we heard something. We looked towards the stage as the lights dimmed. The entire stadium was roaring because we knew they were about to come out. What we heard was a mashup of a bunch of their songs. Before I could even comprehend what was happening I heard the first couple notes of clouds. I couldn't see him yet, but I knew Niall was on the guitar. Fireworks had gone off as soon as they started singing. Hayden, Autumn and I belted out the lyrics.

During every other song, we sang our hearts out. Well actually more like screamed. We sounded absolutely terrible, but we didn't care. Everyone around us was also screaming out the lyrics, so it wasn't like we were the only ones.

It was about 9 songs after they sang Clouds that they said Don't Forget Where You Belong was going to be the next song. Everyone started squealing and got their signs ready. We got our sign and held it in the air as they started. The camera's had pointed to the fans to show the We Missed You signs. I looked behind me and saw that the people in the stands behind us each had either a red or white piece of paper. When they held up their papers the white ones spelled 1D and the red ones were a background. I smiled to myself as I brought my attention back to the boys.

When the song ended they thanked us a million times like they usually do.

"So for our next song we are going to do something we've never done before," Liam said.

"'We are going to choose 4 fans to come up on stage," Harry said.

"And we are going to sing to them," Louis finished. Everyone started screaming and jumping up and down.

"The screen will be blinking seat numbers and when we say stop, the person with that seat will be escorted to the stage!" Niall explained. Everyone started roaring once again.

"I'll be choosing from the floor seats," Niall excitedly said.

"I got the right side of the stadium," Harry yelled.

"I'm with the left side," Liam said waving his arms in the air causing an uproar from the left side of the stadium.

"And I got the back!" Louis shouted. Once again everyone screamed at the top of their lungs.

"Shall we get started then?" Liam asked

"YEAH!!!!" everyone cried.

"Everyone on the floor get ready!" Niall called out. "Because one of you will be up here right beside me!" Like usual everyone on the floor started screaming.

"Annnnnnd...GO!" The screen started blinking so fast that I couldn't even pick out a single letter. The stadium got so quiet you could literally hear a pin drop.

"STOP!" Niall's voice boomed and made me jump a little. I couldn't look at the screen.

"Section D7 on the floor." My head spun to look at Autumn and Hayden. That was our section!

"Row D82." All three of our eyes widened like saucers. That was our row!

"Seat..." Hayden, Autumn and I grabbed each others hands and squeezed tightly. Niall was taking forever on saying the seat number.

"124," Niall finally said. I dropped my hands to my side, and my mouth went dry. I quickly took my ticket out of my purse to check and make sure. As my eyes scanned over the ticket, I nodded my head. Yup. He had just called out my seat number.
