Hockey's Our Game

Chapter 15

“Tori you ready? Your boyfriends here” my mom called and I grabbed my phone and the tickets to go to the Blink 182 concert. I took one last look in the mirror I had on ripped dark wash skinny jeans and tall boots on. I also had on one of my Blink 182 shirts on and my leather jacket. I had my hair straightened and a little mascara on.

“Coming!” I yelled and ran downstairs. “Woah” I looked at Holden and he was in jeans that fit him perfectly and he had on Nike’s. He also had on a Blink 182 shirt and he also had on a leather jacket I never knew he had.

“I could say the same about you” he looked at me wide eyed and smiled. Loki came running to the door and barked at Holden. Holden started petting him “he got so big since he was a baby.”

I bent down and pet Loki as well. “He is the perfect puppy” I said in a puppy voice and rubbed his belly and he barked quietly.

“He is pretty perfect” Holden said laughing and standing up.

I stood up as well “mom, dad we’re leaving!” I yelled “bye love you!”

“Bye love you too, have fun!” my dad yelled.

We walked out to his car and he drove to the concert “I’m so excited” I smiled “thank you so much again” I leaned over and kissed his cheek.

“It’s gonna be a good night” he smiled and we listened to Blink 182 the whole way there, listening to old music and new music, it was a good ride.

“Tickets?” the security guard asked and we handed him the tickets and a siren went off and the guy looked at us.

“I swear I bought these offline” Holden looked at me.

“They’re real tickets, come with me please” the guard looked at us and we followed him. He led us backstage and opened a door and ushered us in “wait here.”

We looked at each other “I’m really confused” I looked at him.

“Me too” he said.

Mark, Tom and Travis walked in “oh shit” I said and they laughed.

“I take it you’re a fan?” Tom asked smiling.

“Well considering my boyfriend got me tickets to see you guys, front row, I’d say so” I said smiling the whole time.

“Well your boyfriend knows good music” Travis said smiling “what are your names?”

“I’m Holden and this is Tori” Holden said smiling.

“Well it’s nice to meet you two” Mark said. We all talked for a couple minutes and we got some pictures with them and they were really funny people. We had to go so they could get on stage and we had to take our seats, well in the mosh pit. We got front row and Blink came out on stage, the crowd screamed at unbelievable levels, it was such a crazy night. They sang so many songs, old and new. Holden put me on his shoulders half way through the concert, Mark saw me and smiled and pulled me on stage with him in the middle of the last song, so I just danced while I was up there.

Once the song Mark gave me a hug “I would like everyone to meet my new friend Tori and her boyfriend Holden” he pointed to Holden and security pulled him on stage “so what do you two do?”

“Hockey” we both said into the mic.

“Oh wow, a power couple, but that is it for us tonight, I hope you had as much fun as we did!” Mark yelled.

“Good night Chicago!!” Travis yelled and they all bowed to the crowd and left the stage and we followed them off the stage with everyone still screaming.
