November 3rd, 2013 the day of the concert & I had convinced Violet to come with me.
"Are you excited?"
"Hell yeah! I haven't been this excited since I went to see Blink 182." I said applying lip liner to Violets lips.
I'm not one to wear a lot of make-up just the basics like mascara & lipstick. But Violet basically caked it onto her face, she let me help her out with her make-up which was rare because she never asks, but I made her look like she was ready to get drunk & just have a good time tonight.
"I get you. I'd be excited if I was going to watch One Direction perform." She said with a sigh.
"Violet why do you even like them? They sing about how beautiful girls are & the main guy that all the girls are in love with is gay. What kind of logic is that?" I laughed.
She looked at me angrily and said, "Harry is not gay! He WAS bisexual when he was younger but he was only experimenting like all young teens do!" She paused, "Even me."
"You? Psh you didn't experiment Violet, I did. Don't get it twisted."
I turned back to the mirror fixed my semi-wavy black hair back into place, then grabbed my handbag & keys.

We took a cab to the venue & walked to the front of the line of the joint where I could hear 'the 1975' performing my favorite song Settle Down.
"Right this way ladies." The security with the velvet rope said with a smile letting us in. "Nice to see you again Lola, have a nice evening."
"Thank you, J you know I always have a great time." I said smiling back & walked in with Violet toward the stage.
"How'd you get in so fast?" She asked bewildered.
"Well, before I became a bad ass I had to wait in line & I got to talk with the security guard. We became pretty chill after that." I said laughing a little as we got to the front of the of the stage.
They finished their first set of songs & took a break, in that time I decided to go get some drinks maybe I could get Violet a little drunk.

When I came back to the front she was sweating. Not so bad but it was noticeable.
"Oh shit, why are you all sweaty?"
She took a deep breath in, "He's...right over there..." she pointed towards a guy & right when I was about to turn Matt Healy started to talk into the microphone.
"Now before I finish these next 2 songs, does anyone have any questions for me?"
I looked around & it didn't seem like anyone wanted to ask anything.
So, I did. "Can I come backstage with you?"
He chuckled & said, "Sure! Bring your friend too. She looks a bit overwhelmed." The crowd chuckled.
A bodyguard came to me & Violet & took us backstage where the lead guitarist o the band was sitting with what looked like producers & a few other famous people. Including Violets crush.
