Anna

Chapter 4 - Dare

*this is a two part chapter*

My brother spent the night on my sofa in my apartment so we weren't late to the concert. I wake up bright and early in the morning to eat breaky. I cut up assorted fruit in small cubes, make avocado toast, and an almond butter and banana smoothie. I am so excited for tonight!

I wonder if Harry will recognize me

After I finish my breaky I wake my brother up by violently shaking him

"Wake up Benji!"

"Are we late?!" he says frantically

"No, it's still morning"

"Let me sleep Anna, I could hardly sleep last night on this very firm couch of yours"

"I'm too excited to stay in one place"

"Why don't you go to the shops for me. I need an outfit for tonight"

"You haven't gotten an outfit yet!?!"

"No, that's why I am giving you the job to do it. I know you will find me the best outfit"

Benji hands me some money before kissing me on the head. I excitedly change into black skinny jeans, a blacked cropped Rolling Stones t-shirt, and my favorite white converse. I brush my hair out and skip out of the apartment. I decide to walk instead of drive since I have a lot of energy. I look down at my phone to text my brother but I bump shoulders with someone, causing me to drop my phone

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention" The man says, bending down to pick up my phone

I bend down to pick up my phone also and I notice the man wearing brown chelsea boots and black skinny jeans

No way it's him

I grab my phone and look at him as we stand up

It's him

"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention either"

We stare at each other for a few seconds. I knew who he was but I was trying to keep my cool. His face seemed like he was trying to analyze how he knew me

"Anna?"

"You remember me?"

"Yes of course, you are not forgettable"

I begin to blush at the thought of Harry not being able to forget me

"I'm going tonight- uhh your show- i'm going to your show tonight"

"It's quite far from here"

"Yeah my brother and I are driving there once I get him an outfit for tonight"

"Did your boyfriend not like the show?"

"He erm- he actually cheated on me"

"Oh my- i'm so sorry to hear that"

"It's alright, I'd much rather go with my brother anyway"

He stares at me without saying a word so I take a step back

"Umm- yeah I hope you..and your brother have a good time tonight"

"Thank you. Good luck. You're going to smash it"

"Thank you and i'm sorry again for bumping into you"

"No, i'm sorry. See you tonight"

"Drive safely"

I walk away from Harry, looking down at the pavement

You're going to smash it? Really!? I am so embarrassed

I continue walking towards the shops. I search through the men's section of the store looking for the perfect outfit for Benji. I decide on dressing him like Harry so I find some black trousers, shimmery silver chelsea boots, and a blue with white striped button up shirt. I purchase the clothes and make my way back to my apartment. My brother is up and dressed to hit the road

"Want to take a look at your outfit?" I ask

"I trust you"

I skip off to my room to pack my bag for tonight with my outfit, makeup, and hair supplies. Benji waits anxiously for me on the sofa

"Are you almost ready to go, Anna? We don't want to be late"

"Yes i'm coming"

I haul my suitcase out of my room and follow Benji out of my apartment. I lock it and we make our way to the lift and down to Benji's car. We pack the boot then hit the road.

-

The drive was horrific. We stopped about 5 times to stretch and get a snack but we made it. We got to the hotel with 3 hours to spare. We quickly change and get ready. Benji curls my hair the best he can while I finish up my makeup and tie half of my hair up in a pony

"Thank you Benji, it looks great"

"You look beautiful"

I squeeze him in a tight hug

I love my brother so much

We make our way down to his car in the car park and he drives to the venue. Yet another 15 minute drive

-

We wait in line for pit and I make friends with the group of girls in line behind us. This is their first time being in pit so I told them about my interaction with Harry

"No way that was you!!" Mary exclaimed

"Yes it was wild"

"I am so jealous" Nora replies

"Don't worry girls, he will notice you with that sign"

Their sign read "You're like my tea: hot and British"

My brother turns around and compliments their outfits and sign. We start moving inside the venue. When we are given the ok so I run to the barricade. I try to find a spot on the left side of the stage in the same spot I was last time so Harry can find me easier. My brother walks over to me with a big smile on his face

"What are you smiling about?"

"I love how happy you are"

I patiently wait for the concert to start. I sit on the ground and talk with the girls that were in line behind us while Benji talks with some parents

-

The show ends and the group of girls got their sign noticed. Niall saw it and brought the other guys over to look at it. He was a little mad he wasn't included.

After the show, Benji and I sneak around the back of the venue where there is a giant bus behind a fence. Benji used to work at this venue so he knows all the secrets. We wait by the fence for the boys to come out
