A concert. An arena. Your idol.

When your counting the days before you finally get to meet the one person in this world who you desire, who you look up too, who admires you. When you get ready to go to the concert, either with your family, your friends or by yourself. When you get in the car and drive to the arena listening to the radio and suddenly your favorite song comes on. And you imagine the rest of the day, the things you will see that admire you. And there it is, you see the arena in front of your eyes, the sign with your idols face on it, the date and time and you park the car and take one last look in the mirror and you think to yourself that the next time you will step a foot in the car you will have seen your idol and have had the best time of your life. And so get out of the car, walk towards the arena and you can hear the music from miles away. And you get more nervous by the minute...the feeling you have in your stomach, the shimmer in your eyes. And there it is, the entrance. You look around one last time and take one last breath before you go thru the doors and you walk inside. It's colder then outside, you look around again and realise that you are surrounded by people that admire the same person as you. You realise that all kids, parents and people are one. All different, nobody perfect, but yet you all love the same person. So you walk through the arena getting something to drink since you are too early and you look at the time every two minutes. And so as time passes by you have seemed to find your way to the gate, so you walk thru and find your spot you look around again and look at the person who is sitting to your right, and left. You are amazed by the size of the arena and wonder what your idol is doing right now. Is she here yet? Is she doing her meet & greet? You don't know but you still keep thinking and slowly you feel the different atmosphere, you hear the songs and you realise you like them too and you sing along and slowly the entire arena is singing with you. And there it is again, the people, the feeling, the music, everything is perfect. So as you all keep singing to the songs you stop. The lights get dimmer, and you know what's coming next, the before-act. You sing your heart out and start sweating and dancing, let's just say you are having the time of your life. Then the famous sentence comes "are you ready for..." and the arena get's louder, you start screaming yes from the bottom of your lungs ... 20 min later of pure silence the countdown starts. First you sigh because it's a 10 min countdown so you spare your time by looking around you. You see all types of people, all shapes, age and color. And again you feel like one. You don't feel alone, you feel belonged. And you start a conversation with the person next to you and you immediately find a subject to talk about: the person that will sing her heart out in 10 min. And as you take a look at the countdown and you see the time and you realise that only 10 seconds are left, you get up, just like the rest of the arena, and you start screaming and you get all excited, you hear it. The first song, the song you have been waiting to hear, and you look up to the stage and see the dancers coming out and doing their thing. You start to dance with them and you look again, and you see her. Your Idol, when you are thinking for a second and wondering if you're dreaming so you look around and realise that this is reality, you're seeing your idol. She starts singing and dancing with her dancers, you get jealous because you also want to be up there. And so the songs go on and after an hour she stops and talks about how happy she is to be here and how she is great full and loves every one of us. You get happier and happier and never want i it to end, and she leaves the stage to change her clothes so you wait and look around and all of the sudden you see a video on the wall, it's her, singing and you haven't heard this song before. You hear her vocals and wonder how a person could be so perfect. The video is over. You wait and still nothing, just music and as you think she will be here and start singing you hear something else, a loud noise. You think it's just a sound effect but as you think harder you realise that that can't be true so you turn around and immediately lie on the floor. You scream, you don't know why and you can't stop it. You scream louder, and you look next to you, people running away, you look on the floor next to you and you see blood. Your blood. Your eyes slowly close by itself . You are still screaming but your voice fades away. Nobody is helping. Why? What happend? You think again and realise you haven't been counting down the days until the next concert, no, you have been counting down the days for your death. You weren't going to enter your car anymore with the thought of your idol, no, you will not enter it at all. And as you keep thinking, you see black. You don't feel anything anymore. You're not breathing. You are not screaming anymore. Nobody is there to help you anymore.

You are no longer you. You died.
