Don't

One

(future)

White.

That's all I could see.

White walls. White floor tiles. White lights.

I looked down and guess what? I was wearing white.

I stood up and walked over to a wall, hoping to find evidence of a door or something. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I went back and laid down on the white mattress I woke up on, trying to remember something, anything about the day before. And once again... nothing.

(present)

I am Savannah Grace Wiley. I'm from Waterbury, Connecticut. When I was 8, my family and I moved to Miamisburg, Ohio. Which is north of Cincinnati, but south of Dayton. Then right before I was 18, we moved to Sheffield, England. Once I turned 18, I got a nice job working at a small grocery store so I could save up some money.

After almost 2 years at my grocery store job, I finally had enough money to move back to the United States, back to Ohio. Where all of my friends are. Where everything I've ever known is. Of course I missed my family but, I missed Ohio just a little bit more. I knew that was where I belonged.

The hardest part of moving back home to Ohio was saying "goodbye" to the only friend I made in England, Willow. We promised to stay in touch through Facebook, Snapchat, and Twitter though. And whenever I went back to England for Christmas, I made sure to see her. So it hasn't been too bad.

My family, in case you were wondering, is very small. It's just my parents, Susan and Larry, my little sister, Karine, and I. There's a 6 year age difference between Karine and I so sometimes it's like there's a barrier that makes it hard for us to get along. But for the most part, she's my best friend. She's the only one who has truly stuck by me no matter what. She calls me everyday, even though there's a huge time difference between us.

Growing up, my parents did so much for us. They made sure we had everything we needed and more. I only hope that one day, I can pay them back for everything they have done for us. The only difficult part about growing up was moving so much. But each time we moved, it brought more opportunities for all of us. See, my parents are professors so they always got job offers from all over the place. They seem to really be liking England though.

Anyway, now I am 24. Once I moved back to Ohio, I chose to move into a small 2 bedroom apartment in Cincinnati. It's not exactly my home town but there were way more job opportunities there. I ended up applying at U.S. Bank Arena which is a huge building that sits next to the Ohio River and big events rent it out. Like big concerts, the circus, sometimes even sports events. I applied for the "events manager" position and two weeks later, I got hired on. The first two weeks were extremely stressful but after that, I started to catch on pretty quickly.

I loved my job. As time went on, I got to meet all kinds of celebrities. Sometimes even multiple times! And, I could be myself there. Nobody discriminated against piercings or tattoos or dyed hair. I actually dyed my hair bright pink the week before my birthday (which is August 15th by the way) and everyone, including myself, loved it. Overall, I was just happy. I was in a great place physically and mentally. I truly felt like I was living my best life.

'I have such a headache' I thought as I left my apartment and got into my car. I had twenty minutes to get to work. My boss called me early this morning asking me to come in at 6:30 instead of 8 like I normally do so there must be something huge he needed me to do today. I quickly stopped at the gas station right up the street from work to grab a quick coffee and a snack cake for breakfast. I was going to need something to help me stay focused and energized this morning. I pulled into my normal parking spot and got out of my car. This was going to be a long day.

I should have told my boss that I couldn't be at work this early but it's too late now. As I walked into my office, there was a small note stuck on my desk. "see me once you're settled in. -Moe'. Moe is my boss. He is super laid back and always does what he can to help me if I need it. So I sat my stuff down and walked down the hall to Moe's office.

Once I reached his brown door, I gave it three knocks before just heading in. We always just kind of "barge" into each others offices. Half of the time our doors are open anyway. As I walk into Moe's office, I see him sitting at his desk on the phone. He holds up his pointer finger indicating for me to hold on a second so I walked over and sat on the small couch in his office to wait for my turn to speak.

I take this time to look around his office like I had many times before. Admiring his clean, light gray walls and soft, black carpet. He had shelves with small knickknacks and pictures on them. Some pictures of the celebrities he's met. Some pictures of his small family. There's even a picture of he and I from 6 months ago when Bon Jovi was here and we took a group picture together. He has signed posters from various artists on his walls. And a potted plant over by the window by his desk. My office is still kind of blank compared to his. But then again, he's been here way longer. My four year anniversary is actually coming up soon. It's currently June and I started here four years ago in August.

"Thank you, Simon. We'll see you and the boys soon. Uh huh. Bye" Moe says before hanging up the phone and turning towards me. "Savannah, big, BIG news. Next week we will have some very special guests here to perform in our arena. I just got off the phone with Simon Cowell and we have arranged for one of his groups to perform here. Any guesses on who I mean?" He looked at me with an elbow arched waiting for me to speak.

"Um..." I stand up and start pacing in his office, thinking about who it could be. Then it hits me. "Wait, is it One Direction?" I say a little too excitedly.

Moe looks at me with wide eyes and his jaw dropped. "Wow, you're good. How'd you know?'

"Maybe I'm just psychic." I say with a smile and wink at him.

He chuckles and winks back at me before continuing with what he needs to say. "Anyway, this week, we need to do a lot of planning. As you can imagine, we have tons to prepare for. There are going to be thousands of teenagers in this arena to see the biggest boyband in the world perform. I need you here early everyday this week along with the whole crew so we can clean and organize and get this place ready, got it?"

"Yes sir. You know I've got this." I reply to him. "I'm actually a fan of One Direction, don't you judge me, and I've been to a few of their shows myself so I know what to expect."

"Excellent. Well, I have more phone calls to make so you go get started on this project and text me if you need anything. Good luck, Sav." And with that, I went back to my office to start making my checklist of things that need done this week.

(The picture at the top is supposed to be Moe's office just instead of white, imagine the walls gray and carpet black)
