Excitement was building in my chest, my stomach fluttering, heart pounding. I tried to convince myself that it was just because I was FINALLY seeing my favourite band live, but I knew that a little bit of my nervousness was that I was seeing George again today, in less than seven hours, for the first time since we met two months ago.
I lay in bed for a few minutes, thinking it over, it seemed surreal.
George had arranged for this for me, after meeting me one time, and managed to get me into a sold out concert, without me even asking him to. It was crazy.
The concert began at seven, but me and George were meeting at five, getting some food, and then heading to the arena.
I rolled over and grabbed my phone from my nightstand clicking the home button and watching my lockscreen light up with notifications.
I sighed when I saw the time
10:33am. Six and a half hours until I see him again. Six and a half hours until all those texts and phone calls and long nights on FaceTime to each other were finally going to become real life and he'd be in front of me again.
I quickly skimmed through my notifications, replying to snapchats, dms and tweets and then got out of bed.
I made myself breakfast, tidied my apartment, whilst blasting Blossoms music, hoovered, washed the dishes, ironed my outfit for tonight ,brushed my teeth and then got into the shower.
After washing and drying my hair, I began straightening it, brushing out tangles and frizz as I go.
By the time I finished it was almost half three. I made myself a cup of tea and relaxed for a little bit before starting my make up.
*** (an- I know what Mara will say to this)
"Y/n", I spun quickly, instantly recognising his voice. There was a crowd milling around us, a dozen people keeping us apart and at that moment the enormity of how we'd been living hit me.
We hadn't seen each other since the day we met, but we talked 24:7 and had grown as close as could be. I'd been waiting two months to meet George again and today all my waiting was coming to something. Today I would finally see him again, and it was happening at this very moment.
I stood on my tip toes, peering over the tops of heads and searching intently for him.
"George", I called back, he was still out of sight, and I felt like crying, I could now call this boy my best friend, and in a few seconds we would reunite.
Suddenly two strong arms were being thrown around my waist as I was lifted into the air, I squealed as I was spun around again and again, happy tears springing to my eyes.
After I'm set back on the ground again, I throw my arms around his neck, pulling him as close to me as I can. I inhale his scent, relishing in it and he shakes slightly as he laughs although I know he is getting emotional as well.
"I can't believe you're here", I tell him in disbelief.
"I am, it's me, I'm real", he tells me with a laugh and only then do I finally release him from the hug.
"I've been waiting so long for this", I admit to him as he takes my hand, leading me back through the crowd.
"Me too! I'm so excited for tonight", he smiles at me.
"I meant seeing you", I laugh, "but I'm excited too"
We reach the door to Nando's and enter, still clutching each other's hands tightly, as if we'll never let go.

"Oh my god", I squeal as we begin to queue outside the arena.
George glances at me, "you really are a fangirl", he comments with a slight shake of his head, an amused smile lingering on his lips.
I nod my head, "I still can't believe you got me tickets to a SOLD OUT blossoms show, I can't ever thank you enough", I ramble as the queue begins to move.
"Don't mention it y:n, it's nothing", he says humbly and I shake my head again.
"G, it's not nothing, it means so much to me", I tell him honestly, meaning it and wishing he knew how much he meant to me too.
"It's okay, honestly, you mean so much to me, I wanted to make you happy", I just smile at his words, and soon the conversation returns to our building excitement, as the line continues to get shorter, until we are at the top.

"This is 'there's a reason why I never returned your calls'", I smile as the intro to my favourite song is played.
"You know", George leans down, talking loud to be heard over the bass that is booming through my whole body, "this is still my favourite Blossoms song", he smiles cheekily, and reminds me of the first day we spoke.
"Mine too", I laugh, but I'm not sure he hears me, as the music is blaring so loud I can't think, let alone shout to him.
"I wanna know, since you've been gone, have I been on your mind", Toms voice fills the arena and for a few seconds a feeling of pure bliss takes over me. I feel so happy in the moment that I close my eyes and smile massively, hoping I could stay in the moment forever.
"'Cause I know I was for a while", George's voice joins the Blossoms singer as the lyrics continue. My eyes are still shut from sheer delight.
"Late last night, I saw you out and for a moment I, turned to stone, cause there's still something only we see", George's voice sings along and I open my eyes to find him staring at me intently, smiles across both our faces. He moves closer slightly.
"Don't talk", he's so close now that his breath fans across my face, the words sticking in the air, "I'd have run to"- his lips almost meet mine as he whispers, "kiss your mouth", and then, just like that, our lips connect. And suddenly my favourite song means 100 times more to me, because it is now the song that brought George to me, the song that we both love, the song that made him a fan, the song that got us these tickets, the song that is the reason we are standing here now, hearts beating erratically, and now, it's the song that connected us, the song we kissed to, the song that makes me feel a million things at once. It's our song.
As we kiss the world around us doesn't stop, like a fairytale. The music continues, "is it me or just a dream that never dies" the people around us don't stop and stare, they sing along "there's a reason why, I never returned your calls, I wish I could forget it all, but I never returned your calls"
And before I can even get my head around it George has pulled back slightly and is staring at me with his beautiful blue eyes.
"Cause I'd fall in again", George sings to me, note perfect and then we are both smiling madly, high on the taste of each other and the adrenaline of seeing our favourite band live. The song ends too soon and then the whole show and soon we are walking to George's hotel and before I know it, it's morning and the perfect night before is nothing more than a memory, but I have a promise "I'll see you tomorrow" a promise that I hold onto, and sure enough, we see each other the next day, and the next. I forget what missing George feels like because we end up spending so much time together that I don't know where he ends and I begin, and I don't mind that at all.
I forget missing him and I learn loving him, I learn the feel of his lips and the sound of his snores and I never ever forget our song, because he sings it to me daily.
An- the other day I was SO tempted to buy a Blossoms vinyl in a record shop, like I SERIOUSLY wanted it but it was €32 and I am broke :( maybe for Christmas 😂
Have a nice day/ morning/ night/ afternoon/ whatever. I love you, I'm here for you and you are beautiful, worthy, valid and important. Plus the boys all asked you to smile RIGHT NOW, and how could you deny them?! So smile, for me and for the boys xx
