All About Excitement

Hi! It's me, Brooke! I'm so excited! I'm going to see my idol in All About Eve today. I bet you're wondering who my idol is. Her name is Lily James and I've been obsessed with her since 2015, that's a while. Me and my mum are going to the Noel Coward Theatre. It's gonna be great. I am kind of cosplaying Debora from Baby Driver (That's one of Lily's characters) with Doc Martens and sparkly headphones.
Three hours later, I'm on the train going through my Instagram fan account for Lily and chatting to my friend Erin (lilyjames_28)on her fan account. Erin idolizes Lily too and she is a year older than me. I flip through the letter that I wrote Lily. I would give it to her when she comes out the stage door I decided.
We arrive in London and I'm kinda freaking out. I'm freaking going to see my idol, live on stage. This is a life changing moment I will never forget.
After the show, I'm waiting at the stage door. Never mind she's here stood right in front of me. Someone screams and I look back. A man wearing a balaclava is aiming a pistol straight at Lily! I run so I can protect her and keep my promise. I hear a bang and I jump in front of the bullet. The pain is excruciating and I scream in agony. Tears fall down my face and Lily notices that I fell and haven't moved very much since falling. She runs over and notices my tears.
"What happened?!" She asked intently. I try to show her my wound but I'm stuck as stiff as a bar of metal.
" Jumped.. In... front.. Of... Bullet... " I pant. My mum comes running over and calls the Ambulance. Matt Smith, Lily's boyfriend, sprints up to us and tries to pull Lily away. She defies and gets up to talk to him. She starts to get angry.
"She's hurt Matt. She got shot!" She screams at him. The whole whispering crowd goes silent in horror. Everyone knew Lily never gets angry and absolutely never shouts.
The ambulance arrived and I am put on a bed. Everyone sees the bullet wound and start whispering again. Matt tries to lead Lily away again but she sits in the Ambulance next to the bed I'm on.
"I have to go with her." She demands. I pass out.
When I wake up, I'm in hospital and my bullet hole is patched up. Lily and my mum are sat there in the room talking to each other. They notice I'm awake and they both come over.
"Daddy and Reuben are coming up pretty soon. Okay sweetie?" My mum whispers in my ear.
"Okay since when have you called me sweetie?" I whisper back. Lily laughs. I love it when she laughs, it's contagious. Also we both have the same problem. We snort when we laugh. Everyone thinks it's cute when Lily does it but they say I'm a pig when I do it. I guess that's how the world works. My mum walks out and pulls the curtain so it's just Lily and me.
"Hey Brooke thanks." She says softly touching my hand. Her hand is so soft against my sweaty palms. "You didn't have to do it you know."
"I had to. I made a promise with a few other fans that if you're in danger we try to help the best we can. This is me fulfilling this promise." I politely reply.
"Fans! Oh my gosh." She laughs shaking her head. "I was wondering if you would like to either on your own or take a friend and have a day out with me? I will pay for everything." She asks. I immediately knew what I was going to say.
"Yes! I would like to take a friend please." I reply. I scream silently in my head. This was a dream come true.
The next day I get a letter. It's from the Good Morning Britain directors. They say that they want to do an interview with me about yesterday's events. I write a reply immediately and ask my mum for permission.
