Because two years ago, which means June 9th 2008 I was living my dreams for the first time.

I come from a small town surrounded of people with a really small mind and I never had a lot of opportunities. I really thought my life was meant to be like this, and that I was not going to be able to do what I wanna do. But then They arrived. Who are They? They’re the sunshine of my life today, the reason why I see things clear, the reason why I hold on, and still believe everyday, simply the reason of my happiness. They are the Jonas Brothers. Yes, this popular band that everybody likes today. The boys that make every teenage girl faint just by a simple smile. They may not be the greatest. They may not be the most talented, but that’s enough for me. In 2007, I made a promise, that if I could ever see a famous person, or band, or whatever in real life, it would be THEM and no one else. At the beginning I didn’t really like them, but over the time, for some reason, I fell in love with their music. I can honestly say that I didn’t find them very attractive when I started listening to their music, even though now it’s different ;) So back to what I was saying, I made the promise that one day, even though this day seemed to be so far away, I would see them. No matter what it’d take. Then, in early 2008 we heard that they would be in Paris, to be the opening act of Avril Lavigne on June 10th. We were not really sure, plus we never did something like this before. So we waited for about one month ‘til they finally announced that they would really come to Europe! But when we were going to take the tickets, they were already all sold out. But we didn’t give up, we just KNEW we were going to see our favorite boys that day, it was obvious. It was written in our destiny. We felt it. We were lucky enough to find some extra tickets and we were going to see them! Finally! It was only for some songs but we didn’t really care. We were going to see them! Months seemed to be very long after that. I’m not gonna write all that I remember here, ‘cause I’ll always do, and I already wrote so many pages in my diary about that. But then came May, the end of this month was so special. I remember I was listening to the radio, when they announced that they were going to do a special contest for people to win tickets to see the jonas brothers on a private show! It was a dream come true, like every dreamy fanfictions I read before that. I remember when I came back to school, I ran to Cyrielle and told her about that. We had our heart full of hopes and we played every single night but unfortunately, chances weren’t really with us… That’s what we thought at least. I told everybody that I’d give my all to see them this day. They meant the world to me…and they still do. Then a lot happened in the next days. But we never win. It didn’t really matter cause we knew we would see our boys with Avril Lavigne. We were so pumped to finally take the plane and go one of the most beautiful city in the world, Paris. On June 9th 2008, we arrived in Paris. This day was supposedly the day they were going to do the private show and we were told it was going to be inside the eiffel tower. It was too good to be true… because we weren’t going, and we felt so sad about that. When we arrived under this beautiful Dame De Fer we hoped we would catch just a glimpse of them… Just to know they were here the day before made us happy but still… we had this sick feeling inside. At 3pm I think, we went to the Seine and we went under a bridge, and that bridge was supposed to make dreams come true. Do I need to tell you what was our wish? I don’t think so. But believe me, it does work. At 5pm we came back under the tower and I told my parents I would give my everything just to see them, like ANYTHING, and I was all serious. My dad told me that if I really wanted to go, I would. He started asking all the girls he saw if they had an extra ticket. But unfortunately none of them did. My mom came to the counter and asked the people if we could have a ticket because we were coming from Corsica just to see them, but they said “Come back at 8pm, we’re not sure of anything”. I started losing some hope. I’m gonna skip the details cause I could write a book about that, but my text is long enough. At almost 7pm, we were completely hopeless and desperate so we sat down and started listening to “When You Look Me In The Eyes”… But a miracle happened in the middle of the song… Some girl came to us and said “You seem to be very dedicated about them, and I think you really deserve this, my mother won’t come with me” and she gave us THE TICKET. We were really going to see them! We only had one, so we started running all over the Champs de Mars and asked everybody again, but then we came back to the counter and asked if we could have another one. And yes… WE DID IT! I wanted to cry but I tried to hold my tears. It was only because of the joy trust me. Then we ran the faster we could to get into the tower. It was obviously our first time doing something like this, specially inside the Eiffel Tower! We were the most exciting girls on earth! We met some other fans, most of them weren’t really, but luckily some were and knew them since a while too. :)

    I wrote enough. I don’t to explain what happened after that. But it was magical, the best day of my whole life. I’m never gonna forget about that. I could honestly write a novel about that -don’t know if I could sell it, though- but I remember everything and will always do. I remember the exact playlist, the way they were dressed, what happened at each moment of the show… We also saw them the day after that, with Avril Lavigne. Then it was a sad goodbye…even though we knew it wasn’t really over ;)

So, my hands hurt right now so I’m going to stop writing. I just have to tell you, after that trip I promised I would see them everytime they’d come to Paris. This was two years ago. A LOT of things happened then. I will write about the others probably. But I did other great things like, meeting them, taking pictures with them, I went to New York/New Jersey, UK, I saw a lot of other concerts, and other great artists, I went to some musicals, a couple of TV shows, some local stations radio… And so much more. But nothing compares to that day. June 9th FOREVER IN MY MEMORIES.

Story of my life. Sorry if it’s too long for you. You don’t have to read it if you don’t want to. I don’t really care actually. I wrote it to remember those precious memories. :)
