The Day I first Met You...

Chapter 9.

Jasmine's POV.

As soon as I saw there was still tickets left for Demi's NYC show and THANK THE LORD BABY JESUS still soundcheck/M&G VIP tickets also I all but ran back to my hotel room to book them. Fuck how expensive they were I was going, this was too good an opportunity to pass up. As soon as i hit 'purchase' on the screen of my laptop i got butterflies in my stomach and i jumped up on the bed and fist pumped the air. I WAS GOING TO MEET DEMI LOVATO!!! I wanted to shout it out my hotel room window I was so excited.

I needed to tell someone. I grabbed my laptop and clicked on Skype. After it loading up I searched my contacts to see if Leah was online. She was the one thing that made me unsure about my move, my adventure. I already missed her. Shed been so amazing during everything that happened not leaving my side unless i asked or she knew she should. She was my best friend and I missed her so much. Our goodbye was hard, she left me to the airport for my flight here and in the end we just had to say goodbye like any other day, like we'd see each other the next day because everytime we looked at each other realy acknowledging that I was leaving for a long time we both started crying, hard.

I clicked call on Leah's name and waited for her to answer. It didn't take long;

"JAAZZZYYYYYY!!!!! OMG how are you I miss you so much."

Just seeing her face and hearing her voice started getting me a little emotional but I held it together with my excitement.

"Leah!!! I know I miss you to. How are you? What you up to?"

"Just hanging out with Paul - hes downstairs getting a drink he is going to SHIT when he sees you!"

I laughed at Leahs choice of words - as always.

"He's going to shit when I tell him my news as well!!!"

"OMG what news? TELL ME JAzz!"

"Ill wait til Pauls back. So whats been happened how are you all?"

"We've been good Jazz, just spending a lot of time together laely at mine since I've a free house. Since you've been gone and since your mums funeral we've all just been hanging out. Noone really wants to go home."

Her words really touched me. That was the thing with our group of amazing friends from home, we were all so close. Cross one of us, cross us all. One of us is upset, we all band together. We all feel it for each other and we stick together through it all. It brought me back to a year ago just before uni started when our friend got into a bad car accident we all stayed at the hospital pretty much the whole week he was in there. We wanted to all stay together, it was as if the strength was really in numbers. It was something I feared I'd lose being over here.

"Thats really nice to hear Leah, it makes me miss you guys even more."

"How have you relly been JAzz...?" Leah trailed off not quite looking me in the eyes anymore.

Thankfully before I had to answer I heard Pauls voice in teh background.

"OMG JASMINE!!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!!! Hoe the fuck are you darling? LEah how dare yu not call me as soon as she called bitch!!"

"Shut up Paulina, she only just called. Apparently she has some news that will make you shit." LEah retorted.

"Guys calm down, do you wanna hear my news or not?" They both settled and looked expectantly at my face on their screen. "Guess who is seeing Demi Lovato live in two nights?! AAAANNNNNDDDD meeting her and going to soundcheck party."

At that I literally sawe Pauls face fall, and Leah began to giggle noticing his reaction also.

"YOU'RE DOING WHAT?!?!?!"

"Yup," I smiled smugly. "You heard."

We talked for about an hour about the Demi concert, and just generally catching up. It felt good and when I hung up but only minutes after I started to feel dark and alone. I missed my friends and God knows I could use their support at the moment. The rest of the night I stayed in bed and watched movies and followed the twitter feed of many lovatics seeing Demi in Boston tonight while planning what to do the next day. I thought it was about time I actually saw some of new york. While looking on tumblr at pictures of people who had met and saw Demi earlier I noticed I had a message in my tumblr inbox. I clicked into it and saw it was from the same anonymous as before.

"No problem, i'm glad I could brighten your day. I live on the west coast but I travel a lot all over with my job. NYC is a beautiful place but I understand that it could be overwhelming. What do you have planned? I reccomend some New York traditions. Soak up the noise and business of Time Square, go to the top of the Empire State Building, visit the contemporary art centre AND finally, less well known, go grab a hot dog from the vendor by the fountains in Central Park. OMG he makes his own mustard relish that is to die for! And then come back here after and tell me what you think! D xo"

*** the next day***

I must have been really tired last night and fallen asleep while watching movies and chillig online because when I woke up I was still half sitting under the duvet of my hotel room bed, laptop still on my knee. I got up and pulled the curtains back. It was another sunny day, perfect for my plans today so after fixing my hair and putting on some makeup I threw on some ripped jeans, a sleevless tshirt and my hoodie, grabbed my bag and hurried out the door. My stomach started growling but I couldnt think about food, instead i took a swig from the bottle of water I was carrying and popped a few of my anti-anxiety meds in my mouth. Walking along the street my mind was once again filled with thoughts of my anonymous 'friend' from tumblr, I was definately taking their advice today. I headed back toward the little cafe I found the day before and ordered the same iced latte from the same pretty barista. She smiled at me and it made me blush and, I went to grab the change off the counter and knocked over the display of chocolate bars, then when i bent over to pick them up i banged my head off the counter. FUCK!. I put my head down and rushed out of the cafe before I said or did anything more stupid. I was going to stop and sit while i got my bearings and worked out where I needed to go but insteads I just kept walking fast to try and get rid of the embaressment of being so awkward. It must have been because I had my head down that I didnt realise the two people walking right in front of me. Bumping into them made me throw my coffee all round me and startled them enough that one of them, the slightly shorter girl dropped her bag.

"Shit. OMG I'm so fucking sorry..." I started, holding back tears. "Let me grab that for you"

I bent over and picked up the black bag and stood up to return it to its owner... the two girls were looking right at me and as I looked between them it sunk in just who it was I'd nearly knocked to the ground.
