nobody asked for this but it’s been a whole year since I’ve seen Louis at the scala and I want to vent so this is how I, a simple girl, ended up fulfilling my fooking dream (mom’s voice: FOR FREE)
that was so cringe but idgaf
I travelled to London with my mom for my 16th birthday, and we got there on February 12th of The Year. Being the dumb tourists we were, we got lost so many times (London’s quite big, I never knew I could relate to that) and my mom and I had no sense of location those firsts days. For context, we were staying at a hotel like a bloke away from the King Cross Station. I knew louis and harry were in the city because of Twitter y’know two hearts in one home or city is the same, and I even found out louis was doing this gig at a place called Scala like just a couple hours before it started.
When I found out about it I immediately tried to get tickets but they were obviously sold out, and even if I could have gotten tickets I really really doubt we would’ve gotten there cause like we had no sense of nothing there and we had literally just got lost trying to get to the Tower bridge. The night of the concert, my mom wanted to go buy something for dinner so we left the hotel and went looking for a sainsbury’s.
we literally ran into the scala. Like it just appeared out of nowhere we when turn left and wow there it was.
Ok, don’t judge me here cause I know I’m pretty dumb but. I thought if we waited, maybe I could see him when he went in. LOOK I KNOW OK, I totally forgot that he obviously was there already cause there’s something called idk sound check or something but still. it was 17:45 pm and I knew the doors would open at 19:00 cause I had seen it when I was looking for tickets.
IT WAS FOOKING FREEZING THAT NIGHT. I knew about the London winter and stuff but for fuck’s sake I couldn’t feel anything waist down. my lovely mom agreed to freeze to death with me for the nonexistent chance of just get a glimpse of my baby and we waited. The other fans on the line stared a lot but I know it looked really weird cause we were like walking up and down the line for two hours and flinching every time we saw a expensive looking car.
All the fans got in and we were still there with a couple of groups of people that waited for someone on the inside and eventually got in as well.
When there was even less people waiting, a sweet girl from the staff comes up to me and it goes like this:
Girl: hi there! Are you waiting for someone?
Me: hi, i-, um, not really. Can I ask u something?
Girl: yeah, sure, what’s up?
Me: is louis already there? Or is he coming now? Cause we were hoping to see him when he got in (so dumb I know god)
Girl: oh no, love, he’s already here.
Me (i swear I was about to cry like a baby even tho I knew it was almost impossible in the first place): oh ok so thanks yeah bye
THEN. when I was turning around to let mom know and get to the hotel so I could cry myself to sleep she goes:
Girl: hey! Wait! Are u watching the show?
Me: i wish, no, i couldn’t get tickets, they were sold ou-
Girl: if u want to I have this ticket here, it’s yours
Girl: of course no, here *gives me the piece of paper every other fan had when they got in*
You have to imagine this, I was a mess of ohmygodthankyousomuchicantbelievethisohgodimgonnacryandimnoteveninyetohgodthankuohmyfuckgod, the girl was laughing and trying to calm me down and my mom didn’t know anything of this cause she doesn’t speak English.
So I was like trying to speak Spanish and explain it to her while kinda of crying and the girl was trying to get me in so I didn’t have wait for the others in line while she was apologizing for not having another ticket for my mom and I was like thanking her at the same time and there was people still there so I was yelling and my mom was asking me when did it end and trying to decide a place to meet after and idk dude I was like high on the feeling.
So I got in and had the best day of my stupid life.
The only thing my mom highlights about the whole situation is that the girl gave the ticket for free
Like I got to have best time of my like for free and idk if this cause I’m from Latin America and every fan fiction had something like that like they either buy you or you got to seem without tickets and stuff.
It didn’t end like those fanfics do but i got one of my favorite larry proofs (mostly just cause I was there when it happened because I know there are much bigger ones but still). And I later I realized that one of the groups of people next to were Only The Poets and like now I love them and can’t believe it more so.
My heart belongs with that girl
