“Follow me to Freedom!”

So we got there around 3:45. The time they told us to be there. So our first mistake; we walked in the back door. And as we walked in, like… no one stopped us. And I saw Kit in the other room digging something out of his bag, and my friend was so oblivious and missed it. I fangirled internally. So we left and went around to the front door. We stood there till about 4:30, and they let the Parachute VIPs in.

So we went in up this starircase and all you smell is incense. And when we walked in they were singing Forever and Always. So then we we actually walked in, they started it over. And then Will came down and he was like “Follow me to Freedom!” and gave everyone a high-five. So he led us back down the stairs and had no idea where we were supposed to go.

So the guys went around and asked everyone their name, and signed our passes. And then we took group pictures and one mass group picture (on their facebook). He was like “Who wants to go first?” and nobody said anything, so I accidentally made eye contact with him, and he was like “You. Come here.” He even did the seductive finger summoning. I almost cried, it was the most beautiful thing ever. So, they handed out posters, and just talked for a bit. Then we were kicked back outside.

So we sat outside for like 3 more hours till they finally opened the doors. I kept zoning out during the first 2 openers. Then Kate came on and I really liked her.Then Parachute.

Let me tell you how many times Will jumped down right in front of me. About 6 or 7. He grabbed like my full forearm and made me help him down, and he was standing in the crowd for like 3 minutes. Everytime Will stood on the baracade, he literally sppit all over me. I didn’t even care. Then he opened a water bottle, forgot about it, and opened a new one. Then he threw the new one out, and I caught that one. They played White Dress; I almost died.

And when they were finished, they were giviing out the setlists, and the water bottles cause people were thirsty. So, the guy handed me one of Will’s extra water bottles, and it was one he already drank out of. And then I finished drinking it.

So I walked away with a signed poster, VIP pass, two of Will’s opened (and drank from) water bottles, and a million cute pictures.

Successful night.

Edit: When they started group pictures, and Will called me out first, I went and stood between him and Alex. But Stubblefield came down late, and didn’t even sign any of the posters yet. So before we could even take pictures, Johnny was rushing to sign them, and Will was like “Sorry about that.” You know what Will? It was quite alright. He’s such a flawless human being. Actually….they all are.

Will is flawless.

“You. Come here.”

He drank from both of these. But 9 hours of thirst prompted me to drink the other.
