Blast the music,
Until you can't feel,
A fucking thing.

2 years ago

It's been 2 days since I was at the concert. I downloaded some of the songs I liked and have actually listened to them a few times. Right now I'm heading back from work. I got a job a few months ago at a small coffee shop a few blocks from my apartment. It's not the best job but everyone seems nice and it pays the rent. I just got in a taxi to head home just as my phone goes off.

From Zoey:
14:34
OMG COME TO THE MALL RIGHT NOW NO BUTS ABOUT IT GET UR ASS HERE NOW ARYA OR ELSE!!!!!

To Zoey:
14:35
Woah calm down what's going on I'm on my way.

"Excuse me can we actually go to the mall sorry?" I say to the taxi driver.

"No problem" he smiles.

I lean back in my seat staring at my phone waiting for Zoey to text me back and say what the hell is going on. By the time we pull up outside the mall she hasn't answered, so I just get out of the car paying the driver though the window and walking towards the entrance of the mall. I walk around trying to find Zoey but having no luck. I pull out my phone about to text her where she is when she messages me first.

From Zoey:
14:46
Hurry up!! I'm by the sushi!!

To Zoey:
14:46
I'm coming. what the hell is going on!?!?

She doesn't answer. I make my way to the sushi restaurant and find her sitting at a table sitting on the edge of her seat with a giant smile across her face as she stares into the distance. As I reach her she turns to look at my and jolts up out of her seat grabbing my hand and running through the crowd before I can get a word in. Luckily it's not to busy so we don't bump into anyone. I would hate to do that to someone.

"Zoey what going on!" I yell at her while she keeps dragging me around the mall.

"They're here!!" She yells back with so much excitement in her voice.

"Who's here?" I ask.

"Voleur" she says as if it's the most obvious thing ever. Before I can get another word in her hand is covering my mouth as we stop walking and she pushes me down to crouch behind a clothing rack in one of the stores. I give her a confused look and she takes her hand away from my mouth pointing to a group of guys who look to be in there late teens early 20's. I then realise it's the band from the concert we went to. I stare at them just like Zoey before I say "Are you going to ask for a photo?"

"Are you crazy I can't do that!" She whisper shouts at me like I'm crazy for asking.

"What why not?" I say back confusion covering my face again.

"Because I cant"

I blink at her twice to show her I'm confused and she lets out a sigh. "If i go over there I'll freak out and be so awkward and they will think I'm a weirdo and I'll embarrass myself and regret it forever" I just look at her realising she has social anxiety. I completely forgot. Whenever people come up to us in public she always freezes and freaks out so I always have to do the talking.

I look at her and nod before getting up and she looks at me with a 'what are you doing' face and I just smile as I turn to walk toward the group of guys. Once I'm about a meter away they turn and look at me. Normally if I was a fan or someone with social anxiety like Zoey I'd be freaking out. But I'm actually pretty outgoing and don't tend to get nervous. I take a few more steps before turning my head back to see Zoey still crouched behind the clothes rack. I then turn back to the boys who are still looking at me confused. I clear my throat before I talk.

"Hey your the band voleur right? My friends a huge fan she loves you guys" I say with fake enthusiasm. A smile forms on there lips before the main singer I learnt is named Harry steps forward.

"Hi love, yes we are. Is your friend here?" He says sending shivers down my spine just from his voice

Woah I haven't heard him speak.

"Yeah she is but she's really nervous and doesn't want to embarrass herself so I thought I could maybe get a photo if that's alright?" I ask. He steps forward again so we are only a few steps apart, causing me to tilt my head back as he towers over me.

"Of course you can" he smiles. But it seems fake. I studied psychology for a few years just so I could tell if people lied to me. But I don't know why he has a fake smile. Shouldn't he be happy a fan is asking for a photo? Either way I pull out my phone and go on camera and turn so my back is facing him. He leans his head over my shoulder followed by the other boys pulling a smile across their face. However I pull a kissing face instead. I take the photo and turn back around to face them again.

"Thank you so much" I say pulling a fake smile across my face.

"Your welcome princess, but you said your friends a fan. Are you not one as well?" He fake pouts. I look up at him and smile again.

"I never heard of you until Friday when she dragged my to your concert but your actually really good. So you tell me, am I a fan?" I say with sarcasm with a smirk crawling onto my face.

He's smirks back at me before he says "Well that's up for you to decide" We both just stare into each others eyes. I'm not sure why but his emerald green eyes piercing into mine make my heart flutter, we stand staring at each other for however long until we are snapped back to reality by one of the other guys by the name Niall clearing his throat. We both turn to look at him and his face pulls into a confused expression. Harry turns his head back to me reaching his hand into his pocket while still staring into my eyes. I divert my gaze down and look at his had ad he pulls out what seems to be a small folded bit of paper.

"Well we have to go now. But it was nice meeting you" he says with a smile on his face before walking past me. As he does i feel a something touch my pocket to my jacket. I turn around to watch them all walkout before I slip my hand into my pocket, a shocked expression coming in my face as I feel a small folded bit of paper in my empty pocket that I knew I didn't put there. I pull it out and look at it but before I can open it I'm interrupted by Zoey jumping in-front of me.

"Sooooo" she says as she waits for me to tell her what happen. I squeeze the paper into my fist so she won't notice it. I dont know why I'm hiding it but I don't know what it is and she will probably go crazy if she knew the lead in her favourite band gave me a note.

"I got the photo" I smile pulling out my phone with my other hand. I go to photos and pull up the photo and show her and before I can say anything else she lets out a scream.

"Omg Arya that's such a good photo"

"Look how hot they are"

"Omg your lucky"

"Wait can i print it and put it on my wall! Thanks!!"

"Ahhhhhhh" she rants on before I cant shush her. "Omg Zoey were in a store calm down!" I say to her while she's literally jumping up and down.

"Ahh- I'm sorry it's just.. omg wow!" I just smile back at her before putting my phone in my pocket and putting out my hand for her to take. She grabs it and starts to swing it as she skips down the isle out fo the store. Me just following behind with a grin on my face.

I like seeing her happy.
