FOUR
Finding a place to park near the venue wasn't easy. Jenika is going to have to remember that she is in a small RV not a car anymore. But they were within walking distance so she made some sandwiches for dinner and figured out what they were going to wear.
TJ was bouncing off the walls by the time she had them both ready to go. She was definitely going to have to find some parks or playgrounds on this trip so he could burn off some energy. He may be as smart as an adult but he still has the energy of a child.
"TJ calm down! You can't be running around like crazy inside. Are you going to be able to sit in your seat and act like the well-behaved child that I know you are?" Jenika asked while watching him run circles around the RV.
"Of course, that's why I'm wearing myself out now. Don't worry, mom, I'll be the most angelic child ever." TJ sassed while batting his eyes at his mother.
How could she get mad at that face. TJ knew just how to get her and calm her down. "Man am I in trouble when he gets older." She thought. "Let's go. The concert starts soon and if you want to buy something to get autographed we should do it now." TJ immediately stopped running, smoothed out his clothes, ran his fingers through his hair and tried his best to look like he wasn't just running laps.
At the merchandise table TJ wanted to buy a picture to get signed and Jenika bought a t-shirt for herself. TJ wanted a shirt too but there were no childrens sizes. Nate apologized to TJ for disappointing him and said that maybe one day they'll get some smaller shirts.
Jenika made TJ stop at the bathroom before finding their seats because this was her first Home Free concert and she didn't want to miss a thing. They were lucky enough to have gotten seats only about eight rows back and right on the center aisle. Jenika let TJ have the aisle seat so he could look around the person in front him.
The lights went down and the crowd grew silent. TJ was on the edge of his seat and Jenika knew she was going to have a hard time concentrating on the show because she also wanted to watch TJ for his reactions.
~~~~First half of concert here ~~~~
It was almost the end of the first half and TJ was having a great time. He couldn't take his eyes off Adam. He was totally enthralled. Jenika, however, couldn't take her eyes off Tim. Not only was he beautiful, but he was also funny, and he gave her chills every time he spoke.
As the lights came up at intermission Jenika turned to TJ to ask him his thoughts but caught herself giggling at him instead. He was sitting back in his seat with eyes still wide and his mouth hanging open. She grabbed her phone and snapped a quick picture and sent it to Ericha with the caption "I think he is enjoying his first show."
TJ sat silently through intermission so Jenika decided to text Ericha for a few minutes:
Jenika: OMG they are amazing live!
Ericha: I knew they would be. I'm so jealous right now. Get me some good pics yet?
Jenika: Not yet. I want to enjoy my first show not have a camera out the whole time. I'll get some next show.
Ericha: You just sent me a pic!
Jenika: It's intermission and TJ's reaction was too cute to miss. He's still sitting here in shock.
Ericha: What's he going to do when he actually gets to see them up close and speak words to them?
Jenika: I honestly don't know if he'll be able to. I'll let you know how it goes. Lights are going down. talk to you later.
The lights went down and TJ was back on the edge of his seat. Jenika could see him swaying in time with the music and mouthing some lyrics he remembered from all the times she had played their CD's.
When it was time for Adams solo Jenika decided to pull out her camera and record. But she wasn't recording Adam. She had the camera focused on TJ and his reaction to Adam. It was dark but you could definitely see his facial expressions and excitement. Jenika put her camera away for the rest of the show and just took in the atmosphere. She loved being around all these people who had the same enthusiasm for her favorite group.
As the show ended TJ was visibly upset. "Honey, what's wrong?" Jenika asked as she pulled him into a hug. "You look like you are about to cry?"
"How is it over already? It was too short." he sniffed into her shoulder.
Jenika brushed TJ's hair back off his face and wiped the tears from eyes. "I feel the same way but, as much as we want them too, they can't just go on singing all night. They can sign autographs though."
That cheered TJ up in an instant. "Let's go meet Adam" he said happily.
"And the rest of the guys. Please don't be rude. You will speak to all of them. Right?" Jenika said with a raised eyebrow, trying to show her son that she was serious.
