This was the first concert that I was going to on my own.
00:05
I'm really excited.
00:06
I was trying to delete loads of pictures on my phone,
00:08
so I had enough space for all the videos that I was going to take.
00:13
Spotlights went on in time with the music
00:15
and the crowd just went crazy.
00:21
It's just inspiring.
00:23
Empowering.
00:24
Everything was just really exciting with it. It was new.
00:30
CHEERING
00:36
There was, like, music playing while we got up
00:38
and I was just making my way out onto the stairs
00:41
and then we heard, like, this...
00:43
It was like a...
00:45
Like a boom sound.
00:47
BOOM
00:48
Oh, my God!
00:50
Going on?
00:52
You could feel the sound wave hit you.
00:56
And then just suddenly flashed, like, a bright flash.
01:04
It, like, hit my face, like, little tiny, like,
01:07
little bolts and nuts and stuff.
01:10
I remember going up into the air and then hitting the floor.
01:14
And that's when I saw, like, my finger was hanging off,
01:16
like, all my three fingers.
01:18
Everything that you thought would never happen to you,
01:21
that you see everywhere on the news, is actually happening.
01:25
I felt that this is it.
01:27
I'm young, I've just started my life
01:30
and now it's going to be taken away from me.
01:40
22 people have died and 59 are injured after a suicide bombing
01:44
at the end of Ariana Grande's gig at Manchester Arena.
01:48
People see it as a news story and people see it as something
01:52
that happens and then it goes away.
01:55
But you never go a day without thinking about it, do you?
01:58
You never go an hour without thinking about it.
02:01
How many times I've actually had to wake my mum up on a night
02:04
because I've had a nightmare.
02:06
And that's almost something what a kid would do, you know,
02:09
go into the mum's room and say,
02:11
I've had a nightmare, but it's not like a nightmare of being chased,
02:14
it's actually what happened that night.
02:16
I relive it and I relive it if I was going to other concerts.
02:20
I've had dreams about the same thing happening
02:25
but in a shopping centre.
02:26
So I was just, like, re-sorting my room out for the fifth time
02:30
that day until, like, four o'clock in the morning
02:33
because I just didn't want to sleep because I was too scared
02:36
to go to sleep in case I had another nightmare.
02:39
Silence is too frightening for me and that's on a night,
02:43
like, I try to get to my tiredest point of where a mum is dropping
02:47
to sleep before I go to bed because I don't want to lay in bed
02:51
and to have these thoughts, I just want to drop off to sleep
02:53
and then hopefully wake up and it'd be morning.
02:56
I used to be so independent and now I just feel like I rely on everyone.
03:02
Like, I don't like being on my own, I don't like being, um...
03:07
I don't like just being left to myself.
03:09
Because I wasn't hurt or I feel like someone's, like,
03:13
going to, like, constantly there, like, waiting to, like...
03:17
Like, I'm going to get hurt because I didn't at that night.
03:20
I know, like, now not to take anything for granted any more
03:23
because things can just change in a matter of minutes.
03:26
And it did that night, that's what happened.
03:28
Things just change so quickly.
03:30
When I'm older, I want to be able to just think about it
03:33
but then be like, yeah, that happened, but say what?
03:39
And be like...
03:40
And then not, like, not in a disrespectful way,
03:43
just to be like, it not bother me.
