So my best friend got tickets to a concert but it wasn't just any type of concert it was a one direction concert, yea I was a little upset that she got to go and not me but i'm pretty sure my parents wouldn't buy a hundred or two hundred dollar ticket and let me go to phoenix without anyone so I figured what’s the point in asking but I think I will give it a shot. I knocked on my dad’s door waiting anxiously to hear him say come in so I can see if I could do my best to persuade him to let me go.
“come in”
“Hey dad, how was your day?” I said with a big smile on my face
“Ok what do you want?”
“Nothing…. I was just wondering if maybe I could go to a concert”
“what concert?”
“ umm a one direction concert” I said with a big smile
“How much are the tickets?”
“umm like hundred or two hundred dollars” I half whispered
“And how are you gonna get there?”
“Well my cousin is going, I was thinking if I could probably go with them”
“Well then call them and see and if they say yes then..”
“THANK YOU THANK YOU DAD SOO MUCH OH MY GOSH” I ran up to him and hugged him so tight
“Ok ok but you still have to call to see if you can ride with your cousins”
“I know I’m gonna go call them” I ran out of my dads room like a cheetah after it’s prey I couldn't believe my dad actually said yes I could just see them, on that big stage singing dancing everyone screaming their heads off I just couldn’t wai…
“Hello Is anyone there?” my cousin asks dragging me out of my thoughts.
“ Oh um hi is this Anna?”
“Yea who’s this?”
“It’s Tessa, I was wondering are you guys going to drive to the concert?”
“Yea Why?”
“Cuz I was wondering if I can ride with you guys cuz my dad said I can go to the concert only if I got a ride there”
“of course that be great i’m sure Abby would love it if you went with her.”
After she said of course my mind went blank, my heart rate went crazy I just couldn’t cope with anything that is going on I couldn’t believe I was finally going to see these five amazing people…
“Tessa?”
“Oh sorry, thank you so much it means alot” I wanted to just scream but I didn’t want my cousin to think i’m a weirdo
“No problem we’ll pick you up, and you can stay the night and we’ll be on our way”
“thanks again” I said ending the call with many “Thank you’s”
I ran in my room to grab my kindle and order the tickets. words couldn’t explain how excited I was.
I finally ordered the tickets and sat on my bed waiting for the email that the purchase is done
*bing* I picked up my kindle and opened my email
Where We Are Tour
August 4, 2014
7:oo pm New Jersey
I looked closer to the screen, OMG ThIs CaNnOt Be HaPpEnInG!!! NO NOOOO My heart just shattered into a million no a billion pieces. It felt like my world had just came to an ending. This was the worst feeling ever I just CANNOT believe I got the wrong TICKETS are you KIDDING ME!! I tried to refund the tickets IT DIDN’T WORK. What am I going to do? What can I do? most importantly how am I going to tell my parents I bought tickets to a concert in New Jersey. I can just see their face bloodshot red, smoke coming out of their ears. ok maybe i’m over reacting but their going to be pretty pissed. Ok I think I need to tell them sooner than later.
I slowly opened the door wiping the tears streaming down my face, trying not to mess up my makeup but i’m pretty sure that was a fail. I knocked on my dads door as light like a feather hitting the ground thinking whether or not to just get the keys off the counter and drive far away but that wouldn’t solve anything and I don’t have a license sooo …
“come in”
I opened the door very slowly peeking my head in
“ dad” I said in a scratchy voice
“yea” my dad looked at me like he was worried by the expression on my face
“dad you know… the..um ticket I was gonna get” I said with tears streaming down my face. I couldn’t hold it in any longer, I was nearly sobbing by the time I finished my sentence.
“what are they sold out or something?”
“no dad I.. I Bought the wrong ticket”
“what?” he looked so confused as much as I did when I seen that e-mail
“yea I bought the wrong ticket I bought the ticket to see them this weekend in New Jersey I don’t know what happened it said it was in phoenix I just..”
“ it’s ok calm down” he walked up to me and hugged me as if everything was ok. now i’m the one confused.
“dad no it’s not I just wasted 126 dollars”
“No you didn’t” what?
“what do you mean?” Ok i’m pretty sure it said thanks for the purchase so what is he talking about?
“ well didn’t you check the email carefully in order to fully make your purchase you have you accept it on your email. did you accept it” Wait what?
*WHAT?*
I ran in my room and picked up my kindle and pulled up the email
WOULD YOU LIKE TO ACCEPT OR DECLINE THIS PURCHASE
Decline.
I felt so relieved, I can’t believe I didn’t think of that wow.
my dad walked into the room and seen that I was smiling
“so?”
“It worked, thanks dad”
“ just make sure you pay attention to what you're doing next time and please make sure when you change that ticket that it’s in phoenix arizona and not in new Jersey”
“ok I will and thanks again”
“mmhm but you still have to do extra work around the house to pay it off you can’t let 126 dollars down the drain.”
“Ha Ha very funny” I said and he smirked
“ok now get the ticket before they're all gone”
“k” I said as he walked out and shut the door. I walked over to my bed, ordered the ticket and plopped myself down on my bed. “YASSSSS” I screamed of excitement and relief……
