Turn Back Time

Surprise

-Tatiana's Pov-

The day went by slowly and uneventfully, luckily I only had one panic attack today, and I even managed to eat something.

*RING RING* the school bell sounded.

Thank god, I can finally go home and do nothing for the weekend. I gathered my things and headed for the door quickly and quietly. I basically ran to my school bus and sat down in the seat right behind the bus driver, it's always open and nobody would be tempted to sit next to me. I sigh and grab my IPhone out of my backpack, 1 new message and no missed calls. The text was from my mother, I sighed, I was hoping it was from Amy.

From: Mama ;)

Hey honey, your father and I have a surprise for you when you get home ;)

Love You! Xxx

Hmm, a surprise? I haven't had one of those in a while, well, except for, never mind. That doesn't count. That doesn't count for anything, why am I thinking about this. Stop. Think about anything else, ah, Amy! Think about her, your best friend since middle school. I wonder why she was gone today, maybe she was sick, the last time I spoke with her her voice was a little hoarse. Hopefully she will be at school tomorrow; I don't want a repeat of today in health class.

"Miss Rivers, you're home" My bus driver blurted, knocking me out of my previous thoughts.

"Oh, thank you." I said slightly smiling. I grabbed my things and stumbled off the bus. I then began my walk down my extremely long drive way to my house. I wonder what the surprise is; maybe they got me a car! Eh, that's a little expensive; I've got no clue, oh well. I'll find out when I get there. I quickened my pace; I'm starting to actually get excited. I reached my front door in record time; I swung the door open and leaped inside.

"I'm Home!" I stated as usual. I placed my backpack on a bar stool in my kitchen.

"Mom?" I said, not wanting to wait for the surprise.

"In your room Honey!" My mom echoed. I turned towards my bedroom and smiled, my mom can be so silly sometimes. I started walking towards my bed room and I couldn't help but smile.

I entered my room to be greeted with my Mom and Dad sitting in my room. In my Moms hands was a little box, about half the size of a shoe box. My Mother smiled warmly and handed me the box.

"Open it!" She squealed. I swear my Mom is a teenager in an Adults body. I shook the box next to my ear, trying to guess what was inside. To my surprise the box didn't make any noise.

"Come on, don't keep us waiting." My Dad said cheekily, I giggled and ripped open the paper. Inside of the box was a small piece of paper, simply with the words

"One Direction: Row 1: Seat 36"

"Mom." I stated looking directly at her with a serious look on my face.

"Yes dear." She says giggling.

"You better not be joking with me. I freaking serious." I said still staring at her.

"We're not joking sweet heart, its real." My father put in. I'm going to a One Direction Concert. Me. In front row. TOMORROW. My serious look quickly turned into a beaming smile.

"Oh My God Mom, Dad, How did you do this?!?!" I asked jumping up and down around my room, making a big scene. "This Concert has been sold out for months! Especially the front row!" I said hugging both of them and clutching the Ticket tight to my chest.

"It was donated to us from the community, after, um, never mind. But think! You are going to see them live!" My mom said, trying to cover up her error. But I couldn't let it bother me, nothing is going to ruin this moment for me. I squealed in excitement. This will be the best day of my life.

-Next day-

"MOM! HELP MEEE" I said with my face shoved in my closet. My mom stumbled in; she woke up late because I made her stay up till 1:30 in the morning lecturing her on how much I love One Direction. "And how are you still tired? It's 2 O'clock!" I giggle.

"Well if someone didn't keep me up till two in the freaking morning, I wouldn't be so tired." She breathed out. I chuckled and pulled my head out of my closet.

"Mom, you're exaggerating! It was only 1:30." I said snapping my fingers.

"Same difference." She muttered. I stifled a laugh and turned back towards my closet.

"So what are we going to wear?" I asked her. I have no Idea what to pick, she might already have something picked.

"Um, We?" She questioned. What does she mean; of course we are going together. I froze.

"Yea, we." I said slowly. Unsure of what was happening. I slowly brought my head out from my closet again and stared at her.

"Um, Tatiana, we only have one ticket." She said. My heart dropped. But, what if. Oh No, no no no. What if it happens again? I looked at my mom, my eyes wide with panic.

"Don't worry sweetheart, you'll be fine, I promise. I'll pick you up after words and it will be ok, this is your night. It will be fun, trust me." My mom tried to reason with me. But it was no use; I was already having a panic attack. My head started to spin and it felt as though the walls were closing in. I sucked in my breath and held it. I clamped my eyes shut, trying to rid myself of the awful flash back from that night earlier that month. I could no longer hear my mom, but I think she grabbed my shoulders and sat me down on my bed. I suddenly felt a sharp poke on my arm and I slowly opened my eyes. I glance at my mom who was holding my arm and giving me an Adderall shot, the doctor prescribed it to calm me down during panic attacks. I took a deep breath and my hearing started to come back.

I looked at my mom's face and studied her features. She had worry written all over her face.

"S,Sorry." I said looking down. I hate when my panic attacks get so out of control. She sighed.

"No, I am. I knew it was too soon for this." She responded sitting up.

"No, wait, I want to go. I want to see them," I said grabbing her wrist, "You're right. I'll be fine." She smiled softly.

"Are you sure?" She questioned. I nodded.

"Yes, I'll just bring another Adderall shot, just in case." I said. I'm going to need to move on at some point, why not start now? My mom seemed unsure, but I think she will understand.

"Ok honey, you have another 4 hours before the concert, why don't you take a little nap. I'll wake you up in an hour." She said. I nodded; I don't really have to start getting ready yet anyways. I lay down and almost as soon as my head hit the pillow I'm out like a light.

An hour and a half later

"Mom! I forget a towel!" I yelled from my shower. Mom woke me up a half hour ago so I decided to start getting ready.

"Really dear?! When you live on your own I'm not going to be there to bring you towels and make you food, You better start working on that!" She joked as she handed me a towel through the shower curtain.

"Whatever mom." I responded. I dried off and put on the outfit that I finally picked out; it had ruffles and is floral print, with blue, green, and purple flowers. It is strapless and I pared it with some denim shorts. I also have a white shawl for if I get cold. I put everything on and then combed my long, wavy Hazel hair; I decided to leave it wavy. Makeup time. I've never really been a big fan of makeup, so I just did a natural eye look.

"Honey! It's time to go!" my mom shouted.

"Coming mom!" I said back to her. I walked over to my night stand and grabbed my phone. I was about to turn and leave when I saw my Adderall shots. I sighed and grabbed the closest one to me and put it in my pocket in case I need it.

"Hurry up Tianna, you don't want to be late!" my mom shouted, using my nick-name.

"Ok ok, don't get your panties in a twist." I called back giggling. I walked outside and into my mom's car and we were off to what could very well be the best day of my life.
