Aubre, my mom and I wait in the long line. About four larger girls behind us laugh and start laughing every other second. I whispered into Aubres ear “I’m about to tell them to shut the f**k up.” She giggles then whispers back “My dad would’ve. He did at the Justin Bieber concert.” A small laugh escapes my mouth. We just play piano tiles on our phones as we wait for the line to move.
We started walking closer to the venue and right before we walked in a girl asked us “Want a red bull?” She was obviously there for advertising but I just politely said “No thanks.” And she walked away. We quickly got our tickets scanned and walked inside. I said to Aubre “Aw, they don’t have any beanies,” after seeing they only had The Wanted shirts and jackets and a bunch of other stuff that wasn’t a beanie hat. She laughed and we walked to our seats, in about the ninth row. My mom immediately said “Hey, I’m going to the bathroom.” I just nodded and me and Aubre started going on and on about how excited we were. After talking till 7:20 p.m. so for twenty minutes, my mom came back with two cokes. One for me and one for Aubre. We sipped on our cokes when all of a sudden Midnight Red came on. They performed most of their songs, and did allot of dirty dancing in the process. Every so often, Aubre would ask me if my mom was seeing this and I’d just shrug my shoulders. I’m sure our jaws dropped at least fifteen times out of shock during their performance. When they finished there was a break. Aubre and I went and bought matching t-shirts and I bought a Word Of Mouth tour poster. Then we walked back to our seats.
Cassio Monroe started playing almost immediately when we got back and both Aubre and I thought they were okay, but the rapped so fast I could barely understand them. My mom loved them a ton more than Midnight Red but me and Aubre liked Midnight Red more. Cassio Monroe ended at about 8:45 p.m. and we waited. 15 minutes later, the drums started playing and strobe lights started. We listened to one song in our original seats not holding our poster (an “I ‘heart’ Nathan” a “I ‘heart’ TW” and finally a “I love Siva”) We walked closer to the front and I immediately started holding up my “I heart Nathan” poster since he was on the side we were on. He stared at me with a blank look on his face for a minute while singing then his face lit up and he stared straight into my eyes making me tear up. He pointed at me while singing and I just silently cried while smiling and swaying my body and sign. He gave me a thumbs up and mouthed “Nice sign” which made me cry more. Aubre stood beside me, probably irritated at me accidentally hitting her every few minutes with the sign. But right then Nathan was looking at me and my heart melted inside of my chest. A huge smile was on my face but I don’t know if there was one on Aubre’s. I didn’t take my eyes off Nathan to find out. A song went by and I was still holding my Nathan poster, but he was on the other side of the stage. I switched out to my I heart tw poster and started swaying it in the air. Jay, my second favorite, was on my side of the stage again and saw it and waved to me. Another huge grin filled my face and he smiled while pointing to me and blowing me a kiss. I could/can tell there was a huge blush filling my face as small shrieks escaped my mouth out of excitement. He continued singing to me then broke eye contact to look at other fans. I couldn’t believe that had happened just because I had made a poster. They continued singing and a few more songs passed before they were in a line at the front of the stage. I was at the far right, in front of Jay. Going right to left there was Jay on the triangle, which he stopped the song to go get, then Max on guitar, then Tom on guitar, then Siva on something I couldn’t see. Nathan was farther back on the stage playing the keyboard. I was focusing on Jay when I saw Max with his arms in the air doing something. My eyes focused to him and he held an invisible sign and waved it like mine to show he was pointing to me. My jaw just dropped and I held the poster with one hand and pointed to myself with the other. Max nodded then blew me a kiss and I just smiled crazy and mouthed thank you. He looked at me and sung for a while then turned away to look at some other fans. I was so shocked that three out of five of my biggest idols and favorite people in the world had noticed me. They continued singing and I started to focus on Nathan again. I thought I saw him looking at me then a hurt or annoyed look filled his face, but I think I imagined it. But if it was real it was because I switched to a sign for the whole band. But anyway. They continued singing but Jay had gone to be next to Siva and Max and Tom had scooted over so Max was now in front of me. I decided to look at Tom since I hadn’t focused on him yet and I saw him blow me a kiss and look straight into my eyes while singing. My heart was in my stomach, knowing most of the band had looked at me. But Nathan’s stare meant/ means the most to me, because when it happened I felt like it was just me and him in that theater, even though it was full of other screaming fans. But back to the story. They continued singing but had a minute or two dress change then came back on. They had one of their roadies pick out the girls for heart vacancy, but I wasn’t chosen. It didn’t matter though, I was still happy as ever. They continued singing and I finally got a stare and smile from Siva as he stared at my poster. The concert finished and all I could think about was Nathan. And now I’m writing this. The day after the concert. So, that’s all. Just wrote this so I can reread it whenever I miss seeing them together.
