“Oh my God, Dahlia. If you don’t hurry up right now, we are not going to this stupid concert!” I heard Amira shout down the hall of my apartment. I knew she was going to be like this. One, she’s nervous to see Helena. You see, she’s bisexual. And I absolutely love her all the same. In my opinion, people should be able to love who they want. No matter what.

And second, she’s goddamn impatient. And my natural slowness wasn’t helping. I don’t know how, but somehow I ended up being a whole hour late in getting ready. I hurriedly slapped on some eyeliner and mascara, slid into my extremely worn Toms and ran down the hall. I swiped my bag from the counter, praying that my keys were already in it. Amira opened the door, rolling her eyes at my running all around the apartment, and we were off.

By the time we got to the bar in the London, the show had already started. Upon walking inside, Amira spotted Helena almost immediately. I swear, she has Helena radar. Amira motioned to me that she was going to hang out with Helena across at the bar. I nodded and smiled at her. Helena and her were so darn cute.

I made my way towards the stage and crowd of people already gathered. They weren’t too squished together yet, and I figured I could probably make my way closer to the front. I know people like that are hated but c’mon, can you blame me for wanting to get closer? No, I didn’t think so.

With a few shoves and some maneuvering, I was in the third or fourth row from the stage. Perfect. I was in the prime spot for moshing. Let the party begin.

--

The whole of the band’s set is a blur, looking back. I just know that there was a ton of sweat, screaming, moshing, crowd-surfing, and even some blood. At one point the guitarist jumped into the crowd, his Fender still strapped on and all. It was over now but I was still standing near the stage. Everyone behind me was taking their sweet time leaving so I was stuck.

After five more minutes of being smashed together with people so close that I didn’t know where my sweat stopped and their’s began, the crowd began to thin. Thank God, I need a drink. That was fabulous, but I am fucking worn out. As I made my way to the bar, I spotted Amira and Helena sitting in a booth against the wall. Even from here I could tell that they were flirting. Good. I wanted them to get together so bad.

“A rum and coke, thanks.” I said to the bartender, handing him a bill. He nods and I take a seat while he grabs a glass.

“Enjoy the show?” He asks me, setting my drink in front of me. I nod enthusiastically, while I down a quarter of my drink and play with the rim of my glass. He nods and walks away having been called by another customer. As I finished my drink I dug through my pockets.

Damn it, don’t tell me I don’t have my lighter. Aha, there it is. I grasp it and dig through my bag for a cigg. Having found one, I head outside. I meet eyes with Amira on my way out the door and she shakes her head at me. I roll my eyes. I know I ought to quit, but sometimes cigarettes are the only things that keep me sane.

As my bare arms hit the cool night air, goosebumps erupt all over my forearms. I should’ve grabbed my jacket before we left, damn. I light my cigg and take a long drag. I don’t think I’ve been this happy for a long time. I just saw a great band and I think my cousin has finally found herself a girlfriend.

If only I knew how fast my happiness would be stripped of me. Literally.
