Dare Me

Chapter 2

*Amiras POV*

    March 13, 1996

     Today is my birthday, that's right! i'm the big 24. I was sitting in my room, reading a book as my sisters walk into my room and sit on my bed. Autumn was holding something behind her back and the both of them were smiling like idiots. I look at them suspiciously. "What are you two all cheery about?" I giggle, "close your eyes!" I do as Breanna told me, "hold out your hand." She adds. I hole out my hand and I feel a paper like material being sat in my hand. I open my eyes and nearly fall to the floor! "You guys, you did win the tickets!" I squeal and hug the both of them. The first concert is 3 days from now, and there's back stage passes included! 

    I hug them once more before I get up to go call my mom and dad. I dial their number, and pick up my phone, mom picks up almost immediately. "Hello?" She says softly into the phone, "mama! Guess what." I say excitedly. "Oh, honey! It's so good to hear from you, happy birthday by the way. Why are you so excited, darling?" I smile, "Thank you, mom, Breanna and Autumn won three tickets to go see Michael Jackson in 3 days!" I say, happily. "I'm so happy for you three! I know how much y'all love him." She says sweetly. We talk for a little bit longer before finally getting off of the phone with her. 

   "Oh, be ready in about an hour. Breanna and I are taking you out for your birthday." Autumn says before going back into her room. I nod and decide I'm gonna take a quick shower, so I jump in and do my thing before getting out. I brush my teeth and then put on a little bit of eyeliner and mascara and some red lipstick. I walk into my room and I change into a blue knee length dress. 

   After about 20 minutes I'm ready to go. I walk out of my room grabbing my clutch and head towards the living room to see Breanna and Autumn all ready and dressed in similar outfits as myself. "All ready to go?" Breanna asks, I nod and grab the car keys as I head to the door. "Wait!" Autumn shouts as she runs towards me, taking the keys from me. "What's wrong?" Me and Bre ask at the same time. She shakes her head at me, "you're not driving, none of us are." She giggles. I shake my head and step to the side. She opens the door and Breanna and I follow behind her. I stop dead in my tracks when I see who is picking us up. "Papa!" I shout and run to him, giving him a big hug. He chuckles and hugs me back, "hello, my darling." I smile and break away from the hug and get into the front seat. Breanna and Autumn climb into the back seat. We pull out of my driveway and head towards town. Bre puts somthing over my eyes, "what are you doing?" I laugh. She giggles, "you'll see why I did this in a moment.", I nod my head and then I felt the car come to a stop. Papa opens up his door, and comes around to my side of the car adn opens my door, helping me out. My sisters get out of the car and hold onto my arms guiding me to wherever we're going. 

   We come to a stop and papa takes off my blindfold to reveal a beautiful  venue. I look around, smiling like an idiot. I turn around and face my family. "Thank you guys so much! You honestly didn't have to do this." I say as I hug the three of them. "Where's mom, though?" My smile instantly fades away. Papa touches my shoulder, "your mom had to work late tonight." He says sympathetically. I nod and smile sadly, then a waitress approaches us. "May I help you guys?" My father tells them that we have a reservation and she leads us to a booth towards the back of the restaurant. "What can I get for you guys to drink?" She asks as she pulls out her notepad. "Wine for the three of us." Autumn says sweetly. My father gets some sweet tea. 

   We eat and joke around for a little bit before dad pays for the food. We get up and walk to the car, I get into the back seat with Autumn and Breanna gets up front with dad. "So your mother told me about you guys winning tickets to go see Michael Jackson." He says sweetly. "Oh, papa! I'm so excited!" Bre says ecstatically. I smile, "they didn't tell me that they had won them until today. I almost fell to the floor!" I say giggling. My sisters giggle and my father just smiles. "Well, I'm glad that my girls are happy. The three of you know that all I want is for you to be happy." We nod at his statement. After about 5 more minutes of talking, we pull up to our house, we say our goodbyes and get out of the car. I unlock the door and go in, flopping onto the couch. "I'm so exhausted. I've never eaten to much in my life." My sisters nod in agreement as they sit next to me. Autumn turns on the television, flipping through the channels until me and Bre both make her stop on an interview of Michael Jackson. We watch the interview, every now and then saying something smart about the interviewer because of all of the stupid questions they were asking him. 

    We finish watching the interview and  I decide I'm going to head to bed. I make my way to my room and change into my pajamas. I climb into my bed and fall asleep almost instantly. 

*TIME SKIP TO THE DAY BEFORE THE CONCERT*

    It's the day before the concert and I'm literally itching with excitement! It's time for my shift to end, so I clock out and grab my stuff, going out to my car. I climb in and start my car and pull out of my driveway, going back home.

   When I pull up to my house, I get out and as soon as I open the door my sisters come running out of the living room. "I'm so excited for tomorrow!" Breanna squeaks. I smile and nod my head in agreement, "me too." Autumn giggles and grabs my hand, dragging me to her room. "I got you a new outfit for the concert tomorrow on my way home from work!" She says going to her closet. She pulls out this beautiful black knee length spaghetti strapped dress. I giggle and shake my head. "It looks just like the dress that girl wore in one of Michael's videos." She laughs and nods, "since we're meeting him, I wanted the three of us to look sexy." I sit on her bed, laughing. I nod, understanding what she means. 

   This is going to be a very, very entertaining night...
