Hawthorne Heights out on an amazing show, but then it was the time for the show I was really waiting for. Katherine and Mariah met me over at the stage, and we got right up against the barricade. The anticipation was at an unbearable level when Oli finally ran out on stage. The crowd went wild.
"How are you fucking doing today?!"
We all screamed.
"I hope you're having the best day ever. This one is called...Crucify Me."
It was incredible looking up at the man who helped save my life. He was one of the reasons I stopped cutting, started eating...began to love myself again. I just couldn't believe I was here. At one pointing thought I saw him glance at me and smile, but I must have imagined it. I smiled to myself anyway.

The crowd kept up the intensity throughout the entire show, and I was beginning to get tired. I managed to back myself up some and crowd surf out on the last song, "Antivist." Once I was over the barricade, I walked around the crowd to the neighboring stage. I got there a little later than I was planning, so I was closer to the back, but it gave me some time to rest. Of Mice and Men, probably my favorite band, was playing next, and I needed to regain my energy for another crazy show. I'd make my way up eventually.

O.G. Loko was the first song they played, and the crowd was already going insane. The pushing and moshing was even crazier over here. Even though we all got along at these shows for the most part, pushing was a fun routine. I was happily shoving and getting shoved when I was pushed from behind and nearly fell over. I turned to yell at whoever had almost taken me down, but I came face to face with Oliver Sykes. All plans of pissing at the people behind me were out of my mind.
"Wow, I am so sorry. Are you okay?"
"Yeah uh thanks. Just surprised me."
"Really I'm so sorry. Wait-"
My heart stood still.
"Do I know you from somewhere? You look so familiar."
I could hardly hear him over the crowd even though he was screaming in my ear.
"Um I was at your show earlier in the front. I doubt you saw me though." I blushed.
"No I must have seen you. I swear I must have. You look too familiar."
I laughed, but I'm sure he didn't hear.
"Can we-?" I shouted a pointed behind the crowd. He got that I wanted to get out because I couldn't hear shit, and we pushed our way through.

As we made our way to the line of merch tents, I was able to take out my earplugs and hear sufficiently.
"I'm Oli by the way."
I laughed. "Oh I know. I'm Charlotte. Why were you even over there?"
"Wanted to see Of Mice and Men after my show. Big fan too." He nudged me playfully. Everything felt unreal. I felt like I was going to faint. You'd think I was being dramatic saying that, but then I actually fainted.
