you know the girls that got serenaded and handed roses in the nobody gotta know music video? yeah, well... that's you.
what happens when you meet back up with a boy you never thought you'd see again? and does friendship stand a chance when love is i...
"hurry up mae, we're going to be late if you don't get your butt down here now!" i yelled into the phone at my extremely slow bestfriend. "i'm putting my shoes on, be down in 2 minutes!" she replied. after waiting another 5 minutes, she hopped into the passenger seat of my car. "we literally only have 30 minutes to get there and that's not including traffic" i stated as i backed out of the parking lot.
"i don't know why you're so stressed, if we get there late it's not like we won't be able to get in... that's what dating one of the band members is good for" she laughed "zach told me to be at the venue atleast an hour before they had to go on" i replied "yeah but that's just because he can't stand to be away from you longer than 3 hours. no reason i should look bad because you and your boyfriend have separation anxiety" she joked, i rolled my eyes.
soon enough we made it to the venue and i parked somewhere around back. i followed zach's instructions and finally found jon, who gave us our passes. when we made it backstage the boys were still meeting fans so jon showed mae and i the green room. mae was ecstatic about being backstage at a concert, so she wasn't helping my already growing nerves any.
after about 10 minutes i heard the knob on the door twist open and zach walked in, scanning the room until he found me. he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me softly. "i finally get to watch you perform!" i said excitedly. "i know, i hope you like the show" he said nervously "zach why wouldn't i like it? i've only watched you guys rehearse for months! i could get up there myself and do it!" i said, teasing him.
then all the boys filled into the room each giddy and full of adrenaline, overly excited to perform. out of the corner of my eyes i seen corbyn plant a quick peck on mae's lips... his new girlfriend. i was super happy for them, they made a lot better of a couple than corbyn and i ever would have. they fit well together, and they keep eachother in check... which is amusing to watch.
we watched a little of eben perform and then soon the boys had to get ready to go on stage. mae and i found our spots in the crowd and waited patiently for the boys. when the lights went out and the crowd screamed around us, it felt electric. i could see why the boys were so excited for tonight, this crowd is going crazy! the boys finally come out on stage and i've got to say, zach looks amazing!
we danced, we sang, and we even met some sweet people in the crowd around us. after the show we met back up with the boys backstage and i wrapped my arms tightly around zachs neck as i crashed our lips together. he was a sweaty mess, but i didn't care. "woah what was that for" he said with a smile "i don't know... i'm just proud of you" i said, matching his smile.
tonight was actually their first night of tour... so he'd be leaving tomorrow morning to head to another city... but tonight, he was still here with me. we went back to my apartment and crawled into my bed. i turned a movie on and cuddled up next to zach. as the movie played i just thought about how much i'm going to miss him when he's gone. i looked up at him "zach?" i said and he looked down at me " i love you" i said, and he smiled at me. "i love you too, y/n" and i kissed him before i cuddled in closer, trying to soak in all the time i had with him until he was gone. ___________________________________
