IT'S HAPPENING
from noelle :)
WHERE ARE WE MEETING?
Calum had told one of the workers at the arena to look out for a girl who wasn't with anyone and then give her the ticket. For precaution, he would ask her 'what is Nate's favourite song'.
to noelle :)

Calum was so nervous. His hands were trembling and he had butterflies in his stomach. That never happened to him and it was one of the weirdest feelings he had ever experienced.

"Where are you going?" Noelle's brother asked just as she was about to open the front door.
"To a concert, I already told you," She responded and turned around to face him.
"I thought you were going to stay in because it's your birthday." Her brother furrowed his eyebrows out of confusion.
"Today being my birthday is the exact reason why I'm going out."
Noelle hadn't mentioned Nate to her brother because he would tell her the typical you-can't-trust-people-online. She knew she was taking a risk but nothing in her life was remotely exciting and so her attitude changed.
"What time will you be back? Where is it?" He interrogated her.
"Half eleven probably. It's at Wembley arena."
"Text me once you're on the tube home."
"Okay." She finally got out of the apartment and made her way down the flight of stairs.
As she walked to the tube station, she couldn't help but think about the possibility that Nate isn't nineteen and he is a completely different person.
But she was meeting her favourite band - if everything went to plan - and that was the best birthday gift she could ever receive.
The tube journey was boring and crowded and Noelle was glad that there was only a short walk from the station to the arena. There were loads of 5sos fans, all distinguishable by the similar clothing style, outside of the arena. Instead of looking around, Noelle pulled out her phone and texted Nate.

i'm by a brick wall by the road, where are you?
from nathaniel
i went inside to pee and get food
Just as Noelle was about to ask Nate how she was supposed to get inside without a ticket, a woman tapped her shoulder.
"Are you Noelle?" She asked. Noelle figured she must work at the arena due to the logo on her shirt.
"Yeah," Noelle replied dubiously.
"What's Nate's favourite song?" Noelle noticed the ticket in her hand and put the pieces together.
"Oh um, empty with you?" She hoped that it was right.
"Okay, if you follow me I can take you to the meet and greet." The woman smiled widely and handed me the ticket.
Noelle follows her to the entrance, already starting to feel like she had experienced vertigo. The inside is packed with people and it's a hive of activity. Noelle was too absorbed in everything to realise that the woman was telling her to move along.
"Down here," She said to Noelle.
They walk through a set of doors and down a small corridor.
"Have you seen Nate?" Noelle asked, starting to get confused.
"He's already there," The woman replied but there's a hint of uncertainty in her tone. They stop outside of another door and the woman turns to face Noelle.
"I've got to go but if you go through this door and then turn left you will be backstage and 5sos are there." Then the woman was walking away and Noelle was left to trying are comprehend what was happening.
It did not feel real for her and she was unbelievably nervous.
She decided to see if Nate had given her any guidance and reached in her pocket and got her phone.
from nathaniel
i'm here
to nathaniel
where?
from nathaniel
where are you?
to nathaniel
i'm around the corner from 5sos but i'm too nervous to even move
from nathaniel
i'm at the m&g right now so just come here
to nathaniel
okay i'll see you in a minute then
As well as nervous, Noelle was also confused; she was confused as to why Nate went in there without waiting for her. Was he even here?
Taking a deep breath, she finally opened the door and stepped across the threshold.
