Ch. 2 So Far, So Great

I pulled up into the parking lot across the street from the Honda Center. I looked myself in the mirror and made sure i looked the same as when i left. On the way here, i grabbed a burger from McDonalds so i checked my teeth and breath. Didnt want to meet Demi with beef in my teeth and BO that spelled that butt.

After checking myself, and trying not to hyperventilate from the excitement, I grabbed my purse; put on my pass; and grabbed Demi's gift.

I walked to the venue. It was only 5:30, the show started at 6:30, and people were already lining up. I walked up to a big guy in a black tshirt, standing at the front of the entrance.

"Uh, Excuse me" , I said timidly.

He looked down at me.

"Hi, im Mia Rodriguez. I won the backstage pass." I held it up for him to see. "Um, am I supposed to wait in this line or... ?"

"No", he had a seriously deep voice. "Hold on a sec" He picked up his walkie talkie from the pouch on his belt. "Hey, um there's a Mia Rodriguez here with a backstage pass"

Another voice from the wt. spoke. "Bring her around the back way, we'll send out someone to monitor the lines"

"Okay", the man put the wt. back in his pouch. "Come with me"

I followed him to the back of the venue. He called in on his walkie talkie and another big buff man opened up the door for us. I told him thanks and followed this new person inside. By this time i was already shaking all over. I held on tight to the gift to stop the shaking a little bit, but it didnt help very much.

We walked past the stage where i saw the dancers practicing and setting up last minute stuff. Then we entered a door that led us behind the stage to wear i knew Fifth Harmony, Little Mix, and more importantly Demi would be.

"Have fun", was the only words the man said to me before leading me inside a room where Fifth Harmony & Little Mix were.

I walked inside shyly. "Uh, hi", I said and tucked my hair behind my ear. "

Heyy", they greeted me nicely. I smiled. "You must be Mia", Leigh-Anne said and walked up to me.

I nodded. "Well come on, dont be so shy", she took my arm and pulled me over to sit on the couch with her, Camila, Jade, and Normani.

The rest of the girls were scattered around the room except for Perrie. "She's in the bathroom talking to ZAAYYNN!!", Jesy screamed. "Shut up", i heard Perrie say from the bathroom. I laughed. They seemed really, really cool.

We spent the next 15 minutes talking and laughing and stuff. They were really nice and made my gitters kind of go away, for the moment. I took alot of pictures with them.

Dinah looked at the time. "Oh, its 6." My head popped up. The show started in thirty minutes and i hadnt met Demi yet. "We should start getting ready. Cmon i'll take you to Demi's room", Dinah told me. I stood up and said goodbye to everyone. They all gave me hugs and i got each of the to sign my phone case.

Then Dinah walked me to Demi's room. She noticed that i had started shaking again. "Dont be nervous, she's awesome.", she smiled at me. "Thanks. It was nice to meet you" "You too", she leaned in and hugged me. "Byee" I hugged her back. "Goodbye, have a nice show." "Thanks.", she smiled and walked away.

I stood outside Demi's door for a minute, taking deep breaths. "Here we go", I said quietly. I knocked softly on her door. "Come in", her wonderful voice said quietly. I took another breath, opened the door & walked inside.
