Chapter 1: The Concert Ticket

 

I had been saving up for months with my paychecks from the Apple store and I finally had enough. I couldn't believe I was about to drop $1000 on a VIP ticket to one of the first Born This Way Balls in Detroit, Michigan. It included everything, an autographed laminate picture, a t-shirt, a pre-show dinner, a free pair of heartbeats, front row seats, and best of all a backstage pass; now was my chance to finally meet her. "You sure you want to spend all that money on a concert ticket?" My mom asked looking a little pissed, "Mom I've been saving up for months I'm very sure! Besides I'll get to meet her and you know how much that would make my night.." I replied as I confirmed the payment of the tickets on my Macbook. A week or two passed and the tickets and prize pack arrived in the mail, I quickly tore into it. I hung up the autographed laminate, tried on the shirt, and put away the headphones. Knowing the concert was in just one more week I made sure I put my backstage pass and the ticket in a good spot so that I could find them easily the night of the concert. Now all I had to do was wait until next week for the concert night, man this wasn't going to be easy from all of the excitement in my mind. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and then Friday finally came. That morning my mom took me to go buy some face paint so I could paint a lightning bolt on my cheek, a classic 2008 GaGa look which she would probably help me with before we left. The hours before ticked by slowly but finally it was time to get going since I had to catch the pre-show dinner. A few minutes before we left I slipped my stepdad $10 to roll me a nice fat joint, "I doubt you'll get her to smoke this with you but whatever.." he  said sprinkling the weed into his rolling machine to finish off the joint, "Worth a try though, Justin." I replied excitedly as I took the joint, put it in a baggie, and slipped it into my mini yellow purse that contained all of the other essentials including my camera and my cell phone. Mom and I got in the car and drove off, the concert was at the Fox so it wasn't much of a long drive. "Have fun Nic!" she shouted as I got out of the car and entered the VIP entrance for the dinner.
