#muchiness

This has been on my mind lately. It’s funny how the smallest moments can end up teaching us the biggest lessons. This wasn’t a life changing conversation or some dramatic confrontation. It was probably five seconds, maybe less. But somehow, it keeps finding its way back into my thoughts. Before I go any further, let me borrow a word that isn’t exactly part of our everyday vocabulary: muchiness.…

     The crowd is going absolutely ballistic as the boys stand proudly, soaking in all of the attention from the crowd. They turn to each other and smile, not being able to process that this is actually happening to them, a crowd of more than 20,000 people all cheering for them. 

     I turn to my best friend Julia and scream at the top of my lungs, which over the overwhelming audience sounds like a mild whisper, "I can't believe this is happening! We are within touching distance of One Direction! Isn't this insane?" 

    Julia barely hears what I'm saying, but easily understands by the unexplainable expression on my face that I am having the time of my life. She nods in agreement with utter joy on her face and turns back to the boys screaming for them.

    I turn back to the stage and then it happens. I look straight in to the mesmerizing emerald eyes of Harry Styles, and our eyes lock in place. We both stared at each other for a good 4 seconds, but it seemed like an eternity. I turn to Julia to try to shout about what just happened, but just as I start, the music blasts from the speakers and "Stole My Heart" begins to play. 

    Harry walks around the stage for a bit during Liam's first part of the song, staring right at me and during the chorus, he comes right to edge of the stage and points to me. And winks. His charm was extremely hypnotizing.

    As the fan-girl I am, I scream at the top of my lungs, but then I try to play it cool, so I try to smile and wave but it probably came out a lot more ecstatic than expected, looking like I was trying to signal an airplane coming in for landing. I couldn't stop blushing and my face felt extremely hot. 

    Harry continued to sing and walk around the stage, waving to other fans in the crowd, but nothing like he did to me. At the end of the song, the boys got in to a formation, Harry being in the front, and pointed straight at me again. As the song ended, and the crowd was going wild, Harry whispered in to Niall's ear something, none of us could catch anything they were saying obviously, but then Niall's eyes widened and he quickly raised the microphone to his mouth.

   "Alright everyone, we're going to do something a bit different tonight" Niall shouted out. Everyone started going crazy, and Zayn, Louis, and Liam gave Niall a confused look as Harry stared out in to the crowd smiling a huge grin. "We're going to pick one of you to come up on stage, for our last number, I Want, it's the least we could do to end this amazing tour with you all. You're all amazing, thank you all for coming out. Who want's to pick a lucky girl, gentlemen?" He says, smiling at Harry. Harry raises his hand with a goofy smile on his face and the crowd goes wild. 

   "I'm going to pick someone tonight....that stood out to me." He paced around the stage as girls were swooning. He walked to the edge of the stage again, right in front of me. "You in the front, come on up. We'd like to sing a song for you." He said, pointing in my general direction.

   Julia was screaming at me, tugging at my arm and shouting "IT'S YOU! HE'S POINTING AT YOU! GO GO GO". My jaw literally had dropped, I couldn't believe what was going on. The security guard helped me up stage, and I slowly walked towards the boys, giving the crowd a good look and was it enormous. All these girls screaming and yelling, and all looking at us. I glanced at Harry, who took my hand a delicately gave it a kiss [The crowd going absolutely bonkers at this point] and said in to the microphone, "May I sing you a song, love?" I locked eyes with him and nervously giggled and tried to hold back tears, as I was in complete shock. I nodded my head and sat in a chair in the middle of the stage as the boys were singing all around me. I was absolutely astounded by the fact this was happening, and it went by so fast.

   The song ended and the all the boys give me a hug and thank me for being here, but Harry was no where to be found. After a few seconds of me looking around, he rushed back on stage to give me a hug. I backed away, feeling him slip a note in my hand. I look at the note and look back up to see him smiling at me. I quickly shove it to my denim pocket and read it right as I get to my seat, still in dismay of what had just occurred. There were numbers at the top of the note and my eyes widened like they never had before. It was his number. I had Harry's number in the palm of my hands. The words below it said "Never seen anyone like you. Let's keep in touch babe. - Harry x" He must have written it back stage when he rushed off. I couldn't believe what had happened, and on the walk back to the car after the concert, I couldn't stop smiling bigger than I ever had in my life.
