Unsaid Love (JATP fanfiction)

Juilliard University, NY, 2021

Fiona's POV:

I still look around in confusion. I don't know what they were talking about before. Why shouldn't I see them? Have they been drinking alcohol? I ask myself and I have to start grinning.

Behind me I hear Melanie's voice, which comes closer and closer. "I'm back, the party can go on," she shouts loudly to drown out the whole atmosphere of the concert. I turn around and see her coming back with two cups in her hand.

I want to introduce my drunk best friend to the three guys, but they are suddenly gone. Even when I look around in amazement, I don't see any of them anywhere.

"What, h-hoow?" I turn to Julie, who has been watching the whole situation with a petrified look.

Melanie hands Julie the cup full of beer. I don't drink anything, since someone still has to get them both home safely.

Just then I want to ask Julie again what just happened here. The only thing I get from her is a serious look. "Not now... I'll explain later. I promise." Julie says nervously. Something isn't right here...

I nod slightly, causing Julie's expression to brighten again. "Come on girls, let's enjoy the rest of the concert!", Julie tries to lighten the mood so that I quickly forget the whole topic.

But that's not as easy as she thinks. A thousand thoughts rush through my head. Who were these guys and from where did they know Julie. After all, she only arrived this morning, there is something fishy about the whole thing.

I know that I won't  find out anything more today. Therefore, I decide to banish the whole thing from my mind and just enjoy this evening. Probably the whole thing is just a stupid misunderstanding and once again I am thinking too much about it.

At that moment, Trevor's next song also begins. His electric guitar echoes from the stage into the audience and you can't help but sing and dance along!

I unlock the door of our dorm and take off my jacket. It was so hot because of all the people. Neither did my dancing around and singing make it any better.

Still, I couldn't have imagined a better evening. This concert has brought us even closer together with Julie.

Speaking of Julie.. Despite the fun I could not get the situation with these guys out of my head. She still owes me an explanation.

As if she had read my thoughts Julie sighs and looks at me with a hesitant glance. "Let me finish first before you say anything about it, okay?"

I nod slightly and sit down on the bed. She sits down opposite me, but avoids looking me in the eyes. "Quickly said Fiona, they are ghosts or whatever they call themselves. They suddenly appeared at my house, I don't even know why by myself."

"Yeah, right.. Julie I thought we were already so close that we were telling each other the truth.", I ask with a questioning facial expression. "It can't be that bad. Why are you trying to screw with me?"

"Who's kidding who? I want to join in too", Melanie bursts in the door. She was on the phone with Bryan outside, thanking him for the tickets and telling him about the first few days.
