{Allison's POV}
I stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel. Today was the day I had been waiting for forever. For most of my teenage years I had been obsessed with 5 Seconds of Summer. I picked up overtime to save enough money for tickets and my best friend, Claire, did the same. Finally we saved up about $200 each and bought tickets online. They weren't front row, but they were in the first section. I ran a brush through my hair and walked back to my room. Five minutes later Claire knocked on the door.
"Hey!" she greeted excitedly. By the time we bought the tickets we still had a good four months left until the concert. We used that time to plan our outfits and make sure everything would be perfect.
"Hey! Are you ready for the best day of our lives?" I replied, walking back to my room.
"Absolutely. Want me to do your hair?" She put it up in a cute bun and I proceeded to do my makeup. As I got dressed Claire began on her own hair and makeup. We needed to look perfect.
"But imagine if we talked to them," she said, finishing up her eyeliner.
"It'll never happen, but that'd be so cool. I wanted soundcheck so bad, but $350? I'd be working all day everyday for so long," I replied, making sure my band tee and shorts paired well with my Converse.
"Same. Anyway, we better get going. It's a two hour ride and I better not be late," Claire said at last, taking one last look in the mirror. We climbed into the car and plugged the address into the GPS.
"Thank god we're 17 and can drive ourselves. If my mom went I swear I'd die of embarrassment," I laughed, beginning the long drive downstate.
"I hate being in the car, but I'd do anything for them," Claire shrugged. She reached over and turned up the radio. I was so excited to finally see Calum, Ashton, Michael, and Luke in person. Even though I wasn't going to talk to them, I'd get some great pictures and hear their voices in real life.
"I'm going to get to see Michael in front of me in real life," I giggled. I was totally on love with Michael, while Claire was a Luke girl.
"I know, and I'm going to get some great pictures of Luke. I can't believe this is really happening." When I first became a fan of this band they had just released She Looks So Perfect. I honestly wish I had found them earlier.
"I'm so excited to hear 'Wrapped Around Your Finger'. It's seriously like my favorite song ever," I smiled.
"Mine too!"

We pulled into the parking lot around 5:30. Hey Violet would begin playing at 7, but we wanted to be early. We went through the gate and headed straight over to the merch. We both bought a tour shirt and a foam finger and then went over to the bathrooms.
"We're going out to eat after right?" Claire asked.
"Yeah, I didn't want to go before. People always come so early and I wanted to make sure we got our merch and found our seats and stuff." We went over to one of the workers who guided us to our seats. We settled ourselves in and started talking to a girl with blue hair next to us.
"Yeah this is my sixth 5 Seconds of Summer concert. I've been to soundcheck for four of them," the girl informed us. It kinda made me mad, I saved up all of my money from my job just to get a lousy ticket, and this girl probably had her parents hand them to her? I gave Claire a look and we started whispering to each other. At 7, Hey Violet stepped on stage. We stood up and started singing and dancing and having a great time.
"They're pretty cool, we should buy their EP," I whispered. Now it was time for 5sos to set up. I knew this was going to take a while, so I grabbed my phone and checked it.
"Oh my god look!" Claire exclaimed, nudging me in my side. I looked up and saw Calum and Ashton behind the screen. They were looking around at the crowd. Within five minutes the lights dimmed and the concert began. A countdown came up on the screen and I stood in anticipation. Finally it reached zero and they came onto the stage. I couldn't believe my eyes. All the working, the long wait, it was all worth it. They played 'End Up Here' and I sang every word. We took a bunch of pictures and it was awesome.
"Hi, I'm Michael. This is Calum, Luke, and Ashton and we are 5 Seconds of Summer. Hopefully you know that, or else I guess you wouldn't be here. Thanks for coming out tonight! I hope you enjoy the show!" And they began playing another song. The show was great, and soon later it was almost over. They played their last song and a wave of sadness came over me as they bowed and said,
"Thank you for coming! We love you guys and hope you had an amazing time!" The lights came on and people started leaving. Claire and I just sat there for a minute, processing what had just happened. Once pretty much everyone had left we got up.
"So, what do you want to eat?" I asked.
"Well there's a food stand thing over there. We could grab something quick and maybe have something bigger closer home," Claire suggested. So we began walking up the aisle towards the entrance.
"Hey, hey," we heard a man call from behind us. We whirled around and saw a security guard running up to us. My stomach dropped. Were we in some sort of trouble?
"Uh, yes?" I replied. I was really nervous.
"Calum, over there, he uh wants your number."
