Misty's P.O.V.

"Woooooo!"

Everyone was cheering for the fireworks, which were amazing! The 4th of July wasn't my favorite holiday, as the loud fireworks kind of scared me. When I was younger, one of my cousins accidentally knocked over a firework. It went off, hitting my uncle in the face, leaving a terrible burn.

"Are you alright, Misty?" Zoe asked me, from my spot in Sunni's yard, "You don't look very good..."

"Oh, yeah. I'm just fine, thanks." I replied with a fake smile. I had never told anyone about my fear of fireworks and didn't quite want them to know.

"I'll just go inside for a minute. I have to... go to the bathroom," I said. I went inside a sat in the bathroom as the image of the accident played in my head. It was when I was young, about 6. The fireworks were over, so I went back outside.

"Where have you been? The show is over... you missed the finally," Sunni said.

"Oh darn," I said with a hint of sarcasm in my voice. "Can't wait for the concert!!!" I changed the subject.

"It's going to be a dream come true! We're in the front row, so maybe we'll be able to touch their hands!" Zoe excitedly said.

"If we're lucky..." Sunni said, with a hint of sadness.

"C'mon guys look on the bright side! We probably will," I said optimistically.

"Got to go, sorry. Want to get to bed early so I can wake up early for work."

I went to my car, and started driving home. I work at a JC Penny, and I had to get up at 9 am, if I wanted to be there by 10. It was already 11:00. I sleep A LOT. More than the average person, for sure. I don't know why, but I do. Maybe it's because I have really good dreams... Idk.

******************************************************************************

For the next week, life was boring. I was working and not really doing anything fun. The concert was 15 days away! I was sooooooooo excited! I kept hoping that we would be able to meet them or something. I knew it would probably never happen, but a girl can dream right?

"Girrrrrrllllll," Sunni said on the phone, "Come to the mall! We need to pick out outfits for the concert!"

"Oh yeah! Okay I'll be right over!"

"Okay we'll be in Forever 21 so come meet us there!"

"'K, bye," I said, as I getting in my car.

I wonder what I should get? It has to be perfect if I want One Direction to notice me in the crowd... Something casual? Yeah, but not too casual.

We shopped for hours trying on clothes. I finally decided on a navy blue skirt and a white blouse with a frilly fabric. Sunni got a pair of purple skinny jeans and a purple, pink and white top. Zoe was more indecisive than us. Finally she picked out a white medium length skirt with a powder pink blouse.

******************************************************************************

Finally. After waiting 15 DAYS, the concert is finally here!!!

We all got in my car, wearing the outfits we had bought earlier in the month. We walked in and got our seats. One Direction came out on stage. Fans (including us), started cheering like crazy. Even in the front row, we could barely hear.

Finally my favorite song, Kiss You, came on. When Liam's part came, he locked eyes with me, his brown eyes connecting with my blue-gray ones. I smiled and he smiled back. My heart fluttered in my chest.

"OMG!!! LIAM LOOKED AT ME AND SMILED!!!" I screamed at Zoe and Sunni.

I don't think they heard me because they were cheering so loud.

When the song was over, I saw Liam walk off stage. He then came back out and smiled at me again. Then I saw a security guard start to come over.

Oh no, oh no. They're gonna kick us out!!! He came over to us, and I kind of cowered down.

"Here miss," he said, "a gift from Liam."

He handed us 3 BACKSTAGE PASSES!!!

"Thank you so much sir!" I said, "I thought you were going to kick us out!"

"Nope," he said, and then he started to walk away.

"GUYS!!!" I yelled at Sunni and Zoe.

"What?" they asked in unison.

"We just got 3 backstage passes! Courtesy of Liam!!!" I happily yelled as I jumped up and down.

"Really?!?! That is so cool! He must like you," Zoe said with a smirk.

"I'll get to meet Niall!!!" Sunni exclaimed excitedly.

The concert then ended with the song Live While We're Young.

"Good night Seattle!" Niall yelled, the fans going crazy.

"Alright guys, let's go backstage!" I said happily, but inside I felt like I was going to puke. It's very nerve wracking, getting to meet your idols.

"Hey there guys!" Liam said, greeting us.
