"Jack hurry up we have to go!" Corbyn shouted from downstairs. Jack was fixing his hair for the eighth time. everything had to be perfect. He checked his appearance one last time before meeting Corbyn and Daniel in the car.
"Do I look okay?" Jack asked, slipping into Daniel's back seat.
"You look fine Jack, can we leave now?" Corbyn asked,
"Yes. Are we meeting Evelyn there? Does she know I'm coming?" The boy asked nervously.
"Yeah, we are going to see Evelyn there." Corbyn laughed, "I don't know if she knows you're going to be there. I guess we'll find out." Jack rolled his eyes and looked out the window the entire drive to Jonah and Zach's place. Daniel parked the car in the driveway and the five boys waited for an Uber. Jack nervously checked the time, turning his phone on and off.
"Maybe I shouldn't go." he said finally, "She doesn't know I'm coming." Zach put down his phone,
"Jack, chill. You're not getting out of this." Jack nodded his head and paced the floor,
"What if she sees me and gets mad, or she just leaves, or I don't know!" he said to no one in particular,
"Well, she can't really leave," Zach said, getting annoyed by Jack's pacing. The boy stopped in his tracks.
"What do you mean she can't leave?" He asked, stepping closer to Jack,
"Shit. Uhm, she just wouldn't want to waste the ticket." He suggested.
"You're lying." Jack squinted his eyes at Zach,
"She's performing, she's actually the closing act." He admitted.
"What!" Jack yelled, "How do you know this? When did you find this out?"
"Dude, how did you not know this?" Jonah replied, cutting into their conversation, "did you not google the event or anything?"
Jack scratched the back of his head and looked down at his shoes. He did not google the event. "Now I really can't go."
"Yes, you can." Daniel said, "You are going to go, and support her, and have fun." Jack nodded his head. Their uber pulled out front and the five boys piled in. Jonah gave the driver the address and the group headed off for the concert.

Evelyn was backstage in hair and makeup getting ready for her performance. There were two artists before her, so she still had lots of time before she was due on stage. She was scrolling through Instagram when she saw a Why Don't We fan page post about the boys at the concert. Evelyn didn't think much of it, her four friends said that they wouldn't miss the show. She also knew Jack was out of the state so he couldn't possibly be there.
She sat backstage for an hour and a half before she was called to a different area. She tucked her phone in her purse and started hyping herself up for the crowd. "You're on in five minutes Evelyn," a crew member said, directing her where to stand.
"Thank you!" she replied, "Is everything all qued up and ready to go?" she asked, taking a microphone from the man.
"Yes, it all looks good, Have a good show Evelyn!" he smiled at her and turned to someone else to give directions. Evelyn tucked her earpiece into her ears and heard the sound tech test it out,
"Evelyn, nod your head if you can hear me" The lady spoke. Evelyn smiled and nodded her head, "Perfect, you're on in 3...2...Go!" Evelyn smiled and bounced up and down before shaking out her limbs and walking on the stage.
