 My eyes were shut tight as sleep was the only thing I was doing today. Pulling the blankets closer to my face before fully disappearing under them. Wrapped comfortably in silence my phone started ringing. I groaned throwing the blankets off me turning to my phone picking it up. The caller ID said it was my boss. "Hello?" I answered. "Anna...don't freak out" was the first thing that came out of her mouth. "What?" I asked feeling slightly scared.

" I kow you don't come back to work till next week...but I have an assignment for you and they specifically requested you for this event" she told me. I furrowed my brows in confusion. "What?" " There is an event the Children's hospital is throwing for all the cancer patients with the Seattle Seahawks and they have specifically requested you to go." She told me. I didn't see why I would freak out about that. I would love to. "Ok, I would love too, why would I freak out?" I asked.

She sucked in a breath. "Anna...it's in Seattle" she spit out. My eyes went wide. Oh shit. No, no, no, no, no "Are you still there?" She asked me breaking me out of my state of panic.

"y-yeah" I stuttered. "It's a big opportunity for you" she explained to me. I hated this but I knew it was a good opportunity for me. I needed to do this just the anxiety and panic was eating at me. "w-when would I leave?" I asked. "Tonight" she answered. I sucked in a breath.

I just got home from Indiana yesterday afternoon, fuck. 

"Ok" I said without thinking.

 I was thinking how my mom had cancer, these little kids are going to be meeting there favorite football team and I wanted to be there to capture there smiles. These kids are probably just as scared as there parents, they would be having one of the best day's of their lives. 

"Really?" She spoke sounding surprised. "Yeah" I breathe out knowing this is the right thing to do.

"I thought it would take more persuasion to get you to do this" she spoke still sounding surprised. "you'll need to be at the airport by 5" she told me. "Okay, I have all the equipment here so I'll pack and go straight there" I told her. "Okay" she agreed. "...I'm proud of you Anna" she told me. "Thank you" "if thing's get to hard you can come home, that is totally fine don't push yourself" she told me. I agreed. "Okay I'll talk to you later" she told me. "Okay, bye" I said before the line went dead.

I threw my phone to the end of the bed huffing. This is the right thing to do, this is the thing I need to do I told myself. I checked the time to see it was 9:30 in the morning.

Harry said I need to take more risks, right? This is a risk. 

My mom said not to let my fear stop me. The world is waiting for me. 

Seattle is waiting for me. 

I'm doing the right thing. 

Forcing myself out of bed going straight to the bathroom I looked at myself in the mirror seeing my bed head. 

I sighed, Looking behind me turning on the shower, before stripping and getting in. 

My eyes squeezed shut knowing I would be going on this trip by myself, I couldn't tell Olive she would talk me out of this. Maybe I'll tell her when I get there...that way there would be nothing she could do about it.

After my shower I did my normal routine before going to pack. Grabbing one of my 5 suitcases throwing it on my bed, I went over to my closet grabbing enough clothes to last me about 2 day's. 

Going back to the closet I pulled out another bag in the shape of a duffle but small enough so I can count it as a carry on. In that bag I put all my camera equipment into it.
