Today's Saturday. not that it matters because it's summer. but more detail the better, right? Anyway, today i'm seeing one of my favorite people on this planet. Live. Mac DeMarco. I've seen him live before but this time just feels different. he's gotten much bigger since the last time i've seen him so there will be more people there.
My friend Gianna got me the tickets because she also likes him but she couldn't afford to buy two so she just bought me one to go by myself (which is going to be boring but who cares, it's Mac)
I hop out of bed, brush my teeth and hair and wash my face. as i splash the water on my face, i look at myself in the mirror. "god i can't wait to see daddy live today" i say to my reflection. anyone who knows me, knows i love mac but they don't know that i'm in love with him. i have been for awhile. he's my secret crush. i have posters of him on my walls and people think that they are there just cause i like him... they're wrong.
Once i'm dressed and done thinking about Mac, i sprint down stairs to my kitchen and grab my keys off the counter. Unfortunately, he isn't coming to Florida this tour so i have to drive to Athens Georgia because that's the next closest show.
9 hours and 23 minutes later. I arrive at my hotel in Georgia. I'm so excited to be seeing Mac tonight, i can't control it. My head is literally spinning.

as soon as mac is done preforming his last song. he scans the crowd. "is Dante here?" my heart immediately stops beating. my vision turns black until i'm forced by security guards, pushing me back stage.
"glad everyone had a good time. thanks for comin out!" I hear Mac say. except his voice seems a little
distant now because of where i am.
"hey bud" what the actual fuck. Mac DefuckingMarco just came from behind the curtain and said "hey bud to me" i feel my legs getting shaky, my heart beat hasn't slowed down since he said my name which can't be healthy. "hi mac" i stutter.
"ah don't be nervous. If you're confused as to why you're here, your friend bought you back stage tickets but gave them to one of the workers before you got here. gina? or something i can't remember."
"Gianna!" i scream. "i can't believe this oh my god." i stand up and rush toward him with my arms open. "i love you so much Mac. you're the best guy ever." "ah thanks kid" he says as he pats my back. "you have a hotel room somewhere close by? maybe i could drop you off." Mac DeMarco just offered me a ride back to my hotel. holy shit.
"yeah i'm staying at a comfort in, it's just down the street." i really don't know how i'm managing to talk right now. "alright let's go" he says and i smile as he turns around. i literally feel like i'm in a dream.

When we get back to my hotel, i expected him to just drop me off at the front. instead though, he parks and comes in with me. He walks with me into the elevator and all i can help to think is "my god i'm in an elevator with the guy." I look at him and he smiles at me and i blush. Why is he taking me all the way to my room?
"here it is." i say. "thanks for everything you were amazing tonight." "woah. i cant come in?" my body goes numb. "uh i mean yeah sure uh c-come on in." i hold the door open for him and he stuffs his hands into his jacket pocket as he walks in.
"you know Dante, the reason i'm here is because Gianna told me you like me." he says
"well yeah everyone knows i like you." i respond getting nervous.
"no. like me like me."
I swallow hard and try not to give myself away, just in case he's fucking with me. "uh i don't know what y-you're talking about. i'm just a really big fan of you."
"no no no there's more than that." he says as he walks closer to me. i drop my bag on the floor and walk back until my back hits the wall. "you're in love with me." as soon as he says this my stomach does 20 thousand flips and i just might throw up.
"Hey dante i- WHAT THE FUCK!?" Gianna's voice booms through the tiny hotel room as i push Mac away from me. "what the hell is going on?" she asks as i straighten my shirt out. "Mac was just walking me to my room." i try to explain with my eyes glued to the floor. "it looks like a lot more than that." she says.
"He said you said that i like like him." i tell her. "What? i never said that." Gianna says and immediately looks at Mac.
He shrugs and walks over to the window and opens it. without a second glance back, he jumps. My eyes go wide and i look at Gianna. "What the fuck was that all about?" i ask her. "i have no idea. i was just trying to be a good friend and get you backstage tickets. I guess he was hitting on you." she says and i slap her arm. "thanks though, it means a lot." i tell her and she gives me a hug. "of course. let's get some sleep." she says.

"gianna wake up you need to see this." i say to Gianna as i shake her shoulder. she groans and rolls over to face me. "Look what Mac tweeted."
I show her my phone.
