"Lana, hurry up or you're going to be late to the concert! You're brother's ready let's go!" I hear my mother yell from downstairs.
Hi I'm Lana Baito (bae-to) I'm 18 years old, I have a 3-year-old brother, Brendon, a 20-year-old sister Maria, and my father left when I was 15. My mother's name is Natalie Citzo Baito and we live in Phoenix Arizona. My mother is taking my brother and me to a Shawn Mendes concert and I have to take my brother backstage with me sadly. "Coming! Geez, calm down Mum!" I said going to the front door putting on my jacket. "Lana come look at the shirt I specially ordered for Beebo." I walked into the living room to see my brother jumping up and down on the couch wearing skinny jeans and a Shawn Mendes shirt that said: "I may be small but I got a strong voice!" With pictures of young Shawn on it. "AWWW now come on let's go go go!"
Soon we got to the stadium where the concert is being held. We walked up to the line and started to wait as Brendon got more and more impatient. "I want to meet Shawn!" Brendon said crossing his arms over his chest. "We will when we get backstage Beebo. Now calm down." I said picking him up onto my shoulders. "Okay, Lana I'm trusting you to take him backstage. By yourself. I'll be up in the higher seats. I have a backstage pass just in case I need to come get Brendon. Be safe okay?" I nodded and started to head backstage with Brendon on my shoulders. I put him down as the security asked for our passes. I held Brendon's hand as I showed them the passes. "There's a staff member right inside the door to lead you to the back." 'Tim' said opening the door I nodded at him and picked up Beebo. We followed the lady backstage and waited for the show to start.
About 5 minutes before the set I noticed that we were the only ones backstage. "Excuse me, Miss? Why are we the only ones back here?" I asked a lady holding a clipboard. "Ummm," she said looking at her clipboard, "it's because we can only give 3 for small stadiums like this." I smiled at her and nodded. Just as I turned away from her Brendon started to squirm, making me put him down. He ran towards someone but got stopped by security. "Brendon Boyd Baito! You do not run away from me like that you hear me? I am so sorry sir!" I said looking at the guard. "It's okay. We get it a lot."
(If you can't tell her, her sister, and mother are all panic fans!!)
I heard fans start to scream and I saw Shawn walk on stage. "Come on Brendon let's go to our spot.""Now this last song I'm going to sing is called Air, but I need someone to come up and sing it with me. There is a girl I've heard singing backstage all night and I'd like to invite her out here." Shawn said looking over. I pointed at myself wide-eyed and mouthed 'me?' At he and he nodded and waved for me to come out. Then I pointed at my brother half asleep on my hip. Shawn just nodded and waved me on. I took a deep breath and said "Beebo, Shawn wants to meet you!" I poked his side and he perked up getting off my hip and holding my hand as we walked. Shawn pulled two stools up and an extra microphone for us to sit on. I got Brendon on his between Shawn and me. "Well hello you two! What are your names?" Shawn said smiling at Brendon. "I'm Brendon, you know like panic and I'm 3 years old!" He said holding up 4 fingers, but then fixing himself. "And you?" Shawn said chuckling. I giggled and said "I'm Lana." "So Brendon do you like Panic at the disco?" Beebo nodded his head very fast, "My name is just like Brendon's my middle name is Boyd too!" Shawn laughed at him and ruffled his hair. "Yeah, my family are really big Panic fans," I said smiling at Brendon. I looked backstage to see my mum giving me a thumbs up. I smiled back and looked at the audience as Shawn spoke. "Well this is Air with Lana and Brendon."
(S-Shawn B-Brendon L-Lana SBL-all together SB-The boys//you get it)
S-Never thought that we would end up here,
Should've known it from the start
I know you mean it when you say you love me,
But we're trying way too hardL-Used to think that we would last forever,
How could I've been so wrong
Never thought I'd be the one to say this,
What if our time has come and gone?SBL-You, you don't mean no harm
But you're stringin' me along and I don't have the time to spare
And I, I'm trying hard to breathe
But you're suffocating me, this time I'm coming up for airSB-Air, air, air, air
Air, air, air, air
Air, air, air, air
(Just imagine the rest)
"Okay as most of you know I'm going to be getting a new supporting act in two weeks when I start my world tour. They'd like to come out and say a few words. And please Lana, stay." Shawn said pulling my wrist as I went to leave. Brendon gave me puppy dog eyes and I sat back down as he cuddled into my side yawning. "Booboo do you want to go backstage with mummy and take a nap?" He shook his head and sat on my lap putting his face in my hair. "Good night Lanee." He said hugging me. I just held him as I watched 4 girls walk out recognizing them as Fifth Harmony.
Ally, Normani, Dinah, and Lauren made their way over to me hugging me (and Brendon) and then Shawn. They cooed as Brendon slept on my shoulder. "Here you guys talk about your tour I'm going to take him off." I said walking to my mom as they talked about dates and breaks. "Now we have a very important question for Lana!!!" Ally said practically jumping with excitement. I looked at them all confused as I sat back down turning toward them. "We were wondering if you'd like to be our 5th harmony?" Dinah said smiling really big. "Is this a joke? I can't even sing!" I said throwing my arms in the air and crouching a little. "This makes me want to dive to the floor and lie there until the whole audience leaves." I said laughing a little. "We're being serious sweetheart. Your mom gave us permission and you'll be fitted tomorrow and start training tomorrow also. That is if you say yes?" Lauren said bringing me out of my awkward state. "Oh my gosh this is serious," I put my hand to my mouth and finished slightly into a whisper, "I'd love to!" My eyes started to tear as they all hugged me and I saw Brendon run out. I got on my knees and hugged him. Shawn kneeled down with us and put a microphone up to us. "Good job Lanee! You deserve this because you're my big sister and I love you sooooo much!" Was heard all throughout the stadium and I didn't care anymore. My dreams were coming true. That means they're not dreams anymore they're reality.
