*The summer air in Cleveland felt heavy as you sat on your front steps counting the money in your concert envelope.
Twenty dollars.
You sighed.
Your phone buzzed.
Slim's sister: How's the concert fund?
You: Terrible lol. I'll never save enough.
Slim's sister: Don't give up yet.
A few days later she texted.
Slim's sister: You busy Saturday?
You: Nope.
Slim's sister: Good. You're coming with me.
Saturday she picked you up and drove downtown.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see."
She led you through a building and down a hallway. Music echoed somewhere nearby.
At the end was a door.
She opened it.
Inside was a rehearsal space.
Standing in the middle of the room was Machine Gun Kelly.
You froze.
"No way."
Slim's sister laughed.
"I knew you'd react like that."
MGK looked over.
"What's up?"
She pointed at you.
"This is the girl who's been saving every dollar she can for your concert."
Your face turned red.
"Why would you tell him that?"
Everyone laughed.
MGK walked over.
"That's dedication."
For the next hour you talked about music, Cleveland, and concerts.
At one point you admitted,
"I never thought I'd actually meet you."
He smiled.
"That's what everybody says."
When it was time to leave, you thanked Slim's sister over and over.
She rolled her eyes.
"I got tired of hearing you talk about wanting to meet him."
Outside, she tossed something into your lap.
You looked down.
A concert ticket.
Your eyes widened.
"Wait... seriously?"
She grinned.
"Yep. You can stop saving now."
For once, you had absolutely nothing to say. *
