FLASHBACK, EMILY'S POV
date: MAY 7, 2020 location: HARRY STYLES CONCERT, MADISON SQUARE GARDEN
i love my job. because thanks to my job, i got two tickets to see harry styles in madison square garden. it's all so surreal. harry styles is like right in front of us, singing "she". me and olivia are both singing along with our eyes closed, just taking it all in. just as harry sang "like he knows what to do", i felt olivia nudge my arm.
"what?" i opened my eyes and looked at her.
"look," she pointed at the stage. i looked up and saw harry staring directly at me. oh my god. harold edward styles is looking me in the eye.
"she, she lives in daydreams with me," harry sang. i smiled at him, and he smiled back. there's no way this is actually happening.
"she's the first one that i see," there's no way this is real! i looked at olivia and then back up at harry and he was still looking at me.
"and i don't know why, i don't know who she is," hes still staring right at me, not breaking eye contact. this is insane.
and the craziest part is, i felt so safe in that moment. everyone else in madison square garden simply disappeared. it was just me and harry. i'm sure everyone says this though. he's famous. but out of everyone at the show, he chose to stare directly at me. not at anyone else. he chose me. interesting.
