"Psst Autumn. Autumn. Autumn. Please get up".

I cracked my eyes open and mumbled a groan in response. My eyelids began to widen and my eyes focused on Isabelle's shining face. She was smiling and the excitement in her eyes was unmistakable.

"What time is it?" I mumbled. It was pitch black so I assumed it was early.

"Autumn it's 4:15 I let you sleep in a little bit, but we need to leave in about 45 minutes." Isabelle replied.

"Where are we going this early?" I responded, still half asleep.

"The concert silly!" Isabelle laughed.

I felt my stomach drop. Of course! How could I forget? The nerves began to eat away inside of me. I had no idea how to act at a concert! WHY had I agreed to go in the first place?? Fear overtook my mind, and I had to remind myself that I was doing this for Isabelle.

I slowly dragged myself out of my incredibly comfortable bed and into the shower. Once the water began raining down on my back, I felt the tears begin to well up in my eyes. I can't do this. I'm not a social person, what was I thinking? I don't even like pop music! People are going to judge me and and just... the tears began to flow faster and my breathing increased. I felt the beginning of another panic attack begin to hit and closed my eyes.

"Just BREATHE Autumn. You're fine. Come on you can do this. Stop being so selfish! Isabelle deserves this and you need to pull yourself together for her. In, and out. In, and out."

I turned the water off and climbed out of the shower, trying to calm my anxiety. As I wrapped a towel around my wet body, I felt the shaking begin. I really needed to get myself under control. You're not even at the venue yet Autumn pull it together! I took a couple more deep breaths and then changed into the outfit Isabelle had picked out for me yesterday. I needed to hide my nervousness from Isabelle so she wouldn't worry.

When I walked out of the bathroom Isabelle feigned surprise and made a big fuss about how "beautiful" I looked. She seemed so proud. You need to do this for her Autumn. I quickly blow dried my hair and was putting on my makeup when I glanced at Isabelle and noticed her putting black stuff on her neck.

"What in heavens sake are you doing now?!" I chuckled.

Isabelle just smirked. "You'll understand later".

"I'm not sure I want to know!" I laughed.

We were finally ready to leave. Isabelle grabbed her usual three cups of coffee, I grabbed our snacks, and we headed out the door. Isabelle offered to drive, so we hopped into her black Jeep and sped off towards Red Rocks.

The drive was absolutely beautiful! It really calmed my nerves. The way the rising sun appeared against the gorgeous Rocky Mountains gave me so much peace. The sky was a faded orange, my favorite color, and the white tops of the mountains perfectly contrasted the pastel colors of the sky. I truly was blessed to live in such a beautiful state like Colorado.

I fell asleep on the way there and woke up by Isabelle shaking my shoulder. I looked out the window and was shocked to see how many people were already in line to see this band!

"Oh my goodness!" I said, shocked. "Fourty two airplanes has this many fans??" I asked.

"AUTUMN!!" Isabelle said, annoyed. "I told you it's TWENTY ONE PILOTS" she laughed.

"Oh," I said blushing. "My bad!" I smiled.

She rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out at me as we began to get out of the car and grab our large array of stuff we brought for the whole day. We set up two folding chairs at our place in line and made sure to grab our blankets. Although the temperature high was about 95 degrees today, it was still pretty cold in the morning so we decided to snuggle up in the blankets.
