REUNION

Chapter 5- The Concert

The first thing I wanted to do was thank Harry. I thought about declining the offer, but Mia convinced me not to. By the way, she had meanwhile gone home. She needed time alone. Secretly I had already planned a big ass pajama party. I planned to surprise you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
"Hello Harry,
I got your mail today. This offer is really generous, and I'd only like to accept it if it's really okay with you. If so, thank you very much. I am so excited!
Btw I'm sorry I didn't reply to you on ig or Twitter. I freaked out and hit my cell phone against the wall. It was broken then haha. My notebook arrived today, it was broken too, and I haven't bought a new cell phone yet. I will do that soon. Probably.
How are you? And how is it on tour? You started it three days ago, didn't you?
I know a lot of questions, and I don't even have a good excuse for it other than that I care.
Since it is already late for me, I wish you a restful night and a good trip around the world.
Lizzy "

The concert would be the day after tomorrow and today I went shopping with Mia. Since I was very picky, the whole thing took a little longer. We put together Mia's outfit after about half an hour. It consisted of mom jeans in a used look, an oversized T-shirt, and her white pair of Air Force 1. I explicitly say white because she has at least 5 pairs. I, on the other hand, had two. 
After another two hours, I found my clothes. I decided on a T-shirt from Nirvana, which was cut so that I could wear it as a dress, a plaid shirt that was just as long to pull on, and my Dr. Martens with white socks that were about one cm higher than the boots. You could still see them like that. I buckled a belt around my waist and DONE! Maybe some jewelry will be added, but we'll see that.
When I got home I was scared to death when someone suddenly hugged me. Shortly afterward the person who owned the arms said something and I identified the voice as my mother's. I just didn't understand what she said. It somehow sounded like a different language. Then the blow hit me! My mother could speak German. She had probably just greeted me in German. I was really fascinated. But since I didn't understand anything, I interrupted her and said: "Hey Mum, I'm happy to see you too and I'm curious about your stories, but if you don't speak English I can't understand you." "Oh of course! I'm so sorry sweetie. I'm just so used to speaking German that I forgot that you didn't understand me. I'm really sorry! "" Oh mum is okay. Now tell me! "
After about three hours she finished talking. Normally I would never have been able to just sit there for three hours, but I was so happy to finally see her again that I let it over me. Suddenly she started questioning me. So I told her about the concert, about my father's letter, about my broken cell phone (btw I still don't have a new one) and so on. Towards evening we wanted to order pizza and my mum suggested taking Mia over. Mia hadn't seen her in ages either and since the two of them get along really well, I couldn't refuse her.

It was 3:00 p.m. I was nervous. The concert would start in six hours. It felt like forever, but I knew exactly that time would fly by. We wanted to leave at 7:30 p.m. so as not to get caught in a traffic jam. Harry had also written to me that we should better be there a little earlier. My mother took us there and then drove straight to the airport. I really enjoyed my time with her, even if it was only very brief. At 5:00 p.m. we started getting ready. I painted my nails with black nail polish and even bleached my teeth. That had nothing directly to do with the concert because I needed it again, but it made sense. As an exception, I also used make-up. Otherwise, I never did that. Mia was really happy when I suggested to also do her make-up. According to her, I had an extremely extaordinary  talent for such things. She suggested I should become a make-up artist, but I didn't think much of it because they are paid pretty badly. In exchange for the makeup, Mia did my hair. She sprayed them with water, braided them, and then blow-dried the braids. When they were really completely dry, she went over them again with the straightening iron. Then she took the hair ties from my hair. After what felt like 5 cans of hairspray, it was finally ready. She tied her own hair in a messy bun with two strands hanging out at the front. I couldn't imagine this thin holding while she jumps and dances but it's her thing not mine.

We finally drove off. In the meantime, I was so excited that I was no longer useful. Mia had herself a little better under control, but you could also see the anticipation. My mother let us out at the stadium. At that time we were no longer bearable. My poor mum. Suddenly a security guy spoke to us and asked why we alternately stared at each other and the stadium. With your mouth open. Embarrassing! When we had composed ourselves again I replied: "We were just very enthusiastic about the situation we are in and of course the enormous size of the stadium." You could exaggerate, right? The guy stared at us in disbelief. "What kind of absurd situation are you in, standing in the way with your mouth open?" He suddenly asked. Some people could be really rude. "Harry Styles gave us concert tickets for today and we're still a little stunned. But that's not your problem. Actually, we just wanted to ask where we have to go to get to the Meet & Greet. "" 1. Is that my problem because I'm the security guard here and you two are in my field of vision and 2. Will the meet & greet take place this time after the concert ."" Well, let's go. Bye, "Mia replied snippily. While we were looking for our seats, I had to pull myself together not to laugh out loud. Mia probably felt the same way. As soon as we sat on the chairs in the VIP area, we fell down laughing again. We rolled on the floor and made grunting noises. That experience was just hilarious.

I was a bit shocked when suddenly a sick bass could be heard and "Sucker for you" began to play. So the Jonas Brothers were the opening act.

After two more songs, it suddenly got very dark and then extremely loud. You could hear screams from everywhere. Ours included. When the lights came on again, there was an extremely attractive man on the stage. Harry. I loved this man. He was so pure and beautiful and talented. God, I couldn't get out of the enthusiasm. My mother was fed up ten years ago. Suddenly he winked in my direction and of course, I had to freak out. When he had played all of his songs and said goodbye, it got dark and he disappeared from the stage. About three minutes later, the tune of "What Makes You Beautiful" started playing. Harry started to sing. I was incredibly happy to hear a song from One Direction live. When I was about to start the chorus, you could hear a different voice. It sounded a lot like Louis Tomlinson's. Gradually three other, familiar voices were added. Then the people to whom the voices belonged came out of the dark part of the stage. Hand in hand, they came up to Hary from behind and closed him in their midst. The boys were wearing matching outfits. So this is why Harry disappeared. He changed.The five finished the song and said into the microphone at the same time: "Hi we're One DIrection!" Then Harry shouted: "And back TOGETHERRRR !!!" whereupon Niall jumped around on stage until he knocked over a guitar stand. They had been together for less than 5 minutes and something had already broken.

Then my brain switched on too. "Oh my god, Mia. They're back!" I immediately burst into tears. My best friend was no different. The boys played some old songs and Liam, Louis, Zayn and Niall played some of their singles.

When we left the stadium after another two hours and made our way to the Meet & Greet, we were just so loaded with positive energy and joy. Until we saw that we were the last. After this statement, the mood was a bit muted, but we were still happy. After waiting for about 15 minutes, I fell asleep on Mia's shoulder. It was quite uncomfortable, but I was too tired to worry about it. When I was later woken up by Mia, I couldn't tell what time it was or where I was. Suddenly I heard a deep, rough, attractive voice behind me. "A little sleepyhead then, huh?" the voice said to me. I opened my eyes and saw the amused faces of five boys. My five lifesavers. When I realized who was standing in front of me, I got up and straightened my clothes because they had slipped a little during my nap.

"How are you, Lizzy?" Harry asked me. "Good." "Wait WHAT ?! You know my name Why? "" You haven't forgotten our conversation on Instagram, have you? "He answered me with a question. "No of course not, but just because we wrote to each other that doesn't mean that you know who I am:" "Uhm Lizzy you are aware that you have uploaded a few pictures, right? I looked at them and liked them. "" You what ?! "" I liked your pictures. Is that bad? "" No, of course not. To be honest, I just didn't expect it. "" You don't see who likes your pictures? ""Of course but I still don't have a cell phone oops. "" Oh yeah right, there was something "Then we both burst out laughing. I also talked to the other 4 for a while. I really liked them. Actually, the 5 wanted to go to a bar but then decided to serve at one of their minibars in the hotel. They invited us to come with them. We talked late into the night and downed a few bottles of alcohol. Since Mia and I had drunk too much to go home we slept in Liam and Niall's bed while the two made themselves comfortable on the couch.

Hope y'all like it
