I sat up quickly, my breathing heavy and panicked. No. No, no, no, no. You cant be serious. I- It was all just a dream. It couldn't have been just a dream! I met him, I'm sure of it! "Fuck.." I whispered as I scrambled to grab my phone despite the overwhelming sense of dizziness and lack of sight, probably due to the fact that I woke up literally two seconds ago.

The screen lit up, blinding me, but I could still read the date. Yup. I dreamed the whole thing up. I sighed and flopped back into the bed. its 8AM. That's the second time now that I've woken up early from a dream. I felt a dull ache in my chest when the thought of Harry hugging me was being ripped from my reality and carelessly tossed into the back of my memory with the rest of my heartfelt yet dumb fantasies.

I hugged my pillow for a few minutes, just starring blankly at the wall. Why can nothing ever go right for me? Finally I drug myself from the warm protection of the covers and down the hall to see Bailey sitting on the barstool eating some Oreos.

I mumbled a quick "morning" before pulling the bread out of the cabinet to make a sandwich. I then spent the next thirty minutes telling her about the dream, leaving out smaller details and just skimming over the important parts. When I was finished she looked down to me with pity but that look soon turned to a smirk. Oh no, what's she thinking now?

Bailey walked into her room without speaking a word and then returned holding an envelope. What the hell? "I am officially your favorite person on this planet," she stated with a smug look. I only raised an eyebrow at her.

"You already were.. Now what's that?" I tried to grab the envelope but she snatched it from my reach.

"The key to your heart," She grinned and opened the packet, pulling out two tickets.

"YOU DIDN'T."

"I did. And they're front row." At those words I tackled her screaming how much I love her over and over. After I had finally calmed down she rushed me to go get ready. Apparently it would be a good drive over there so we have to leave early to be there on time. I practically sprinted to the bedroom. Oddly enough to me, I decided to wear the same outfit I was wearing in my dream. It'd be so cool if the dream actually became reality.

In about an hour I was ready. It was currently about ten. Perfect timing. We drove for what felt like forever but I'm pretty sure that's just because I was so anxious to get there and actually see them for the first time.

We were almost there when the thought occurred to me- Harry has never seen me. He has no idea what I look like. I mean, we have talked barely any at all. He really doesn't know much about me at all. I made such a big deal out of meeting him online yet it really doesn't even mean that much, does it?

When we got there it took forever to even get anywhere. Once we were actually there by the stage is when it all got so real. Waiting for them to come out was like the worst torture I've ever felt before in my life.

I checked my phone out of nervousness and saw that it was four. It'll be getting dark in about an hour or two. I took a quick look around me. I'm not a very social person if I'm being honest. I don't judge everybody.. I just like to keep in check who's around me. I guess that's the more paranoid side of me coming out.

Suddenly the lights shut off and all I heard were the ear splitting screams. I stood frozen in shock for a good thirty seconds. This is really it. It's not a dream this time. I'm really going to see him. My heart was beating so fast I was scared I might pass out. This is just like my dream all over again. I'm feeling all the same emotions but they're even more severe, if that's possible.
