Forget It

Concert... (the end)

   The music was beating out of the speakers and through the floor. I felt every vibration through my converse. The band wasn't up yet. They were backstage. There was a recording playing over the speakers while we waited. We were three rows from the stage. And I felt light headed. I felt dizzy, but didn't care through my excitement. I just wanted to see them.

I could smell the mixes of perfume and cologne and sweat. Lights were flashing across the stage, people were fighting to get to the front, and everyone was so loud, the recording sounded muffled.

Dawn grabbed my hand and screams erupted from the crowd as they walked onto the stage. Andy picked up the microphone and he smiled as the others started playing.

"Driving through this world unknown, I've built my life on broken bones."

I felt myself starting to fall backwards. It didn't feel real. Like I was about to wake up at any moment and discover this was nothing but a dream.

It was all in slow motion. Everything was starting to blur. I looked at Dawn and felt arms wrapping around me.

"Daisy?!" I heard Brayden shout over the music. I couldn't see the band anymore and I couldn't breathe. Sweat was rolling off me and covering my Black Veil Brides T shirt.

"Daisy put your arms up, I'm gonna take your over shirt off so you can cool off." Brayden tried to sound calm, but I could hear the worry in his voice. He pulled off my shirt and the people around me started fanning me. A water bottle flew into the crowd towards us.

"Daisy take a drink," Asher said bringing the water to my lips.

Great job Daisy. See the band and you almost pass out.

I took in deep breaths as they tried to calm me down. My vision slowly came into focus. One of the security guys was looking at me, waiting to see if he needed to call the paramedics in from outside. I gave him a thumbs up and he nodded as we all turned our attention back to the band.

That was a great time for an almost anxiety attack, thanks brain!

I started jumping along with the crowd as Andy sang, I said every word with him.

Every time my feet hit the floor I could feel the music vibrating the ground. I knew I couldn't take my eyes off the band for one second or the large crowd would set off my anxiety. They played for what felt like forever and not long enough at the same time. Time was moving in slow motion as the end of the concert came closer.

I closed my eyes and stayed there. Brayden and my two best friends were beside me, my heroes were singing to me, and everything fit so perfectly.

I took everything about that moment in, determined to hold onto it for as long as possible. I finally understood what it meant to want to live in a single moment. So I knew I'd live in this moment. I'll live in this moment forever.

A) I really did almost have an anxiety at the concert.
