"Hey Andy, do you know where my maroon shirt is? You know the one I was going to wear tonight?" Kelly asked me as we prepared for our third concert in a row.
"No, I haven't seen that in weeks. Ask Sam when she gets here," I told her as I peeked out of the bathroom door with my hair still wrapped in a towel.
"Dang it. I wanted to be ready when she got here," Kelly retorted, "Wait, are you even dressed?"
"Not at all," I yelled from the open bathroom door, "I'm wrapped in a towel, though. Does that count?"
"Haha! NO!" Kelly yelled, but was interrupted by Samantha.
"Aren't ya'll ready yet?" Samantha questioned as she walked into my bedroom and plopped down on my bed, dressed and ready to go.
"No. Unlike you we didn't get in until two in the morning," I informed her, "Besides I'm almost ready now. Just have to throw my clothes on. Has anyone checked Chris's snapchat to see what's going on before we head to the venue?"
"I'll do that. Ya'll just get ready!" Samantha yelled at us.
"Working on it!" Kelly yelled breaking her silence.
"What do ya'll think?" I asked as I walked from the bathroom modeling my mint green and melon colored top with grey jacket.
"That looks great, Andy," Samantha complemented me as I continued to strut throughout my room like it was a fashion runway.
"Thanks," I smiled, "Kelly, are you ready yet?"
"Let's go!" Kelly said with her voice full of excitement as she turned away from the vanity.
Samantha and I jumped at the sound of Kelly's words. We couldn't be more excited to see Chris for the sixth time on this tour. He held a special place in each of our hearts. Most of our other friends called us groupies because of our concert-going ways, but we didn't mind. Since the first time we met him years ago, he had been a complete sweetheart to us. We chatted with him on a regular basis on social media and he always came up to us when we saw him outside of a venue.
"Hey! He's at Corner Alley watching the Panther's game with Cory and Brandon! Let's go!" Kelly shouted scaring me enough I swerved off the road a little.
"Damn girl! Don't scare me like that when I'm driving!" I yelled back and pushed the gas pedal down a little farther, "Corner Alley here we come!"
"Do you think we can go four for four tonight? Samantha asked curiously as I sped down the road.
"Four for four?" Kelly questioned.
"You know, picture before, selfie during, meet, and one after?" Samantha answered with a question.
"Goals!" I smiled as we pulled off the interstate into the city limits of Cleveland.
"How far are we away?" Kelly asked impatiently.
"GPS says five miles," I answered quickly, not taking my eyes off the road.
The rental car fell silent as we eased closer to Corner Alley. We watched for signs of 'our guys' as we drove passed looking for somewhere to park.
"There they are!" Samantha yelled with excitement.
"Would you stop giving me heart attacks, Sam?" I asked as I pulled into the parking lot, parking in the first opening I could find.
"Sorry," Sam apologized as she jumped out of the car.
"Easy does it," I started and looked at Kelly, "We can't go in there in full fangirl mode. We have to be cool, calm, and collected."
