Meet and Greet slip up

Today was the day, the day my best friend Ember Grey and I finally get to meet our favorite band. 193 days ago we bought our tickets and got 7th row, mid section. 49 days ago I won 2 meet and greet passes at 11:36 pm and at 11:40 I called Ember and we both freaked, we were meeting our lifesavers. I couldn't believe it was finally here. Ember sat in front of the large hotel bathroom mirror adjusting her hair, fixing a section of her part. "Hey, Ember, which outfit?" I called holding up 2 outfits. One was a loose heather gray top and high waisted sailor shorts along with a pair of combat boots. The second was a loose teal crop top and short shorts with mint candy apple vans. "Lils! The second duh, I'm already wearing combat boots!" "Oh right, sorry." I giggled putting the first outfit back in my bag next to my highlow cutout dress with strappy heels, I don't even know why I brought that dress if I was leaving tomorrow afternoon but oh well, maybe Ember and I can go out for a nice breakfast tomorrow. I slipped into the outfit and looked at myself in the mirror. I pulled out my travel makeup case an was about to start my "concert routine" when Ember checked the time, "Lil, we have to leave in 4 mins if we don't want to be late to the meet and greet!" I had heard that if you're even a minute late they won't allow you in. So I decided to put on a thin layer of powder and a few swipes of mascara before grabbing out tickets, m&g conformations, and our train passes. We ran out of the hotel room with our shoes in hand. We got to the train station and handed the man our passes before stepping onto the crowded train, somehow managing to find 2 seats. We sat down together and put our shoes on, both panting from our quick sprint. As I tied my 2nd shoe I looked up to see most of the train was filled with young girls about our age. One girl next to me stood about 5' 7" and, no homo, but god damn she was gorgeous. She wore ripped skinnies with a white 5sos shirt signed by 2 of the boys. She noticed me looking at her and I pointed I her shirt. She explained how she met luke and cal last time they were here in Tampa and was now gonna try to meet ash and mikey at their hotels to have them sign it.
"Where are you sitting for the show tonight?" I asked while fixing my hair,trying to look as beautiful as her. "I'm in row 107!" She exclaimed happily, " I didn't expect to get seats so close." She smiled widely. I pushed our tickets further into my pocket deciding not to tell her where we were sitting so as not to sound like I was gloating. The train stopped abruptly and 93% of the train car pushed and shoved to get out of the tiny box and to the venue. Ember and I were being jostled around by crazed girls and I just tried not to drop our confirmation. When we were finally free we made our way to the theater and walked around until we found what looked to be the back and walked up to the security guards. He told us we had made it just on time and to give our confirmation to the guy inside and he'd give us our passes. So we went inside and I couldn't help but squeal giddily and Ember soon joined me. We turned the corner and there they were, our heroes...20 feet away. We were last in line and I let Ember go first. I gave her paper to the big man in yellow and he scanned it. She ran up to Ashton, he was her favorite, and she broke down crying. I could hear ash talking to her,
"Oh beautiful, why are you crying?"
"Don't cry love, it's just me"
"Awe I love you too"
"Of course we can take some pictures"
She took so many cute pictures with ash, I literally ship them so hard, Amber for life. "AMBEEEEERRRRRRR!!!!" I yelled out earning a "what-the-hell-was-that-for" stare from Ember and a few chuckles from Ashton. The security guard told her her time was up and she had to go now. Ash gave her a quick kiss on the cheek causing Ember to almost melt in her shoes. The security guard took my paper & started to scan it. As so as I heard the little "ding" I took off heading for Luke, little did I know these boys had left a small mess where one I them spilt some water. As soon as I'm off I'm just as soon on my face. I hear people run towards me but everything is a blur. I hear voices but I don't know where they're coming from
"LILY!!!"
"Oh my gosh, is she okay?"
"What the hell just happened?"
"Is she alive?"
I may have been in the middle of losing consciousness but I could still tell Michael asked the last question. A guard came to me and turned me over so I could see quick blurs and shapes going by. A figure came next to me and said something just as my mind drifted into black.
