2. We're finally going to be near 5sos live in concert. After two years.


I raise one of my eyebrows in confusion.


"Renee, what do you mean?" I ask.


She sighs. "Aza, you found it. You take it."


"No. Renee, I'm using the tickets you got me and if I will surrender this to them, the people there, there may be a fan who needs this and she might go to the place in search of her ticket and pass. Maybe she needs or wants to see them just as much as us. I mean, this must have cost a fortune. We can't just use this." I say, and it's hurting me to voice out those words, but I have to do the right thing.


Renee is silent for a moment, but then she begins to speak. "Azalea, you found it. So I'll respect your decision to do the right thing. But you can always change your mind, and I won't judge you. I'll be upstairs."


I nod and she walks up the stairs quietly, and I turn around and grip the corner of the kitchen counter that was beside me. Everything I said took a lot of energy so I decide that I should calm down through a long, warm shower.


I get my towel and hang it on the gold-colored metal. I remove my clothes and I think thoroughly about everything I just did. The selfish part of me just wonders why I decide to do that. But the other side of me is just proud that I chose what I chose.


I wear an oversized shirt from Forever 21, and some cycling shorts. I put on one of my many pairs of socks and I throw my hot pink sweater on. I boot my laptop and I settle in my bed.


While my laptop is starting to turn on, I charge my phone and check it out. Some notifications from Facebook, some from Instagram, but of course, I have to check Twitter as well.


WHAT.


ON.


EARTH.


LUKE NOTICED ME.


LUKE ROBERT HEMMINGS FOLLOWED ME.


LUKE ROBERT HEMMINGS SHARED MY PHOTO.


LUKE ROBERT HEMMINGS RETWEETED MY PHOTO.


OH EM.


My ear-piercing scream echoes through the whole house and within seconds, Renee bursts through my bedroom door."What happened?" She asks. "Why the earth did you scream?"


My hand is covering my mouth and I just stare at my phone. I don't move and Renee gets the idea.


"Lemme see." She gets my phone from my hand and I'm still gaping.


"Hmm... Ari commented on your photo, 5sausey tagged you, yada yada yada yada... OH MY FUDGE POTATO PENGUINS HAMBURGER FRIES . LUKE5SOS RETWEETED YOUR PHOTO. LUKE5SOS FOLLOWS YOU. WHAT ON EARTH TEACH ME YOUR WAYS.."


You can probably guess what happened next.


We were jumping around in a circle for the second time that day until we finally calm down and Renee goes back to her room saying she was in the middle of stalking Calum Hood and making her Calum FanFiction.


I screenshot my notification which included Luke and tweet it with a caption- "!!!". Three exclamation points are not enough to show how happy I am about Luke noticing me. I can't wait to go their concert.


I can't wait.


But then I remember my decision and I lose a little energy at the thought. It drains the life out of me the more that I think about it.


Seconds pass, and seconds turn into hours, and hours turn into days.


Soon, I'm getting ready for the concert.


I'm wearing a white shirt with the yellow smiley face in the middle, some dark wash jeans and a black loose cardigan. I get a small pouch and put my money and phone inside, along with my tickets and the ticket and pass that I found.


I take a deep breath and go downstairs, to find Renee sitting on the couch, rubbing her hands together.


"Oh my gosh, we're finally going to be near 5sos live in concert. After two years." Her voice cracks at the end and I know that she's about to cry. Tears prick my eyes. This band might just be made out of ordinary guys, they might just be normal boys. But they mean so much to us fans that it won't ever be JUST.


We just stay there, hugging each other, emoting and crying, until we get ourselves together and we both go to the bathroom and retouch our makeup. Mascara has smeared on the place of our face that is surrounding our eyes, and that isn't actually a flattering thing to see, especially since we're trying to be chosen for the song.


"Renee." I say, my voice coming out soft.


She moves her head to face me. "Yeah?"


"Thank you. Thank you for these tickets. Thank you for everything. Thank you for being there when I need to fangirl, thank you for being there even if I scream almost every hour of the day, just thank you so much."


She smiles at me. "You know I thank you as well. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you..."


I breathe out. "Okay, okay, I get it. Stop."


"Hey! You started it!" She accuses.


Both of us start laughing and we walk to our car. "Let's go."


And that was the night that everything changed.
