Madison's P.O.V

     God I was running so late. The guys are gonna kick my ass. I don't even have a valid excuse. What am I supposed to say? 'Sorry guys I got distracted by a very pretty girl that just so happens to be my neighbor and an actress' no can't say that. They'll make fun of me.. oh I'm here already

     I snapped out of my thoughts realizing that I was at the bar already. Can't believe I spaced out that whole drive. I parked my bike and ran inside the back entrance taking the dark hall to back stage.

    "You're late fucker!" I heard Matty yell. He was our guitarist.

     The other two guys, Vince, our drummer and Jaxon, our bassist turned to look at me with a disappointed dad look.

    " I'm sorry guys. I lost track of time. I got here as fast as I could." I tried explaining

    "What had you so distracted?" Vince questioned

   My face got red just thinking about Her. I'd only spent a few hours with her and she was already taking over my thoughts. She was beautiful. She was caring. She was passionate. And she was out of my league. Not only that but I don't do relationships. She's probably not even into chicks. Jesus I need to get a grip.

    "Nothing guys, let's just get set up and run through our set list. We've got a long night ahead of us." I said dropping the subject

    We spent about half an hour getting everything set up and had just went through our first song when Taylor, the bar owner came up to us.

     " Madison, there's a girl out here. Says she knows you and wants to see you. Want me to let her back here?" He asked

   "You get a name?" I questioned

    " Elizabeth something or another. I don't know. Cute chick though." He said with a huff

    Elizabeth?? What was she doing here? I felt a look of panic cross my face before I snuffed it out.

    " Uh yeah, let her through." I said with a straight face.

     Taylor nodded his head and turned to go get Lizzie. I started fidgeting with anything my hands could touch. I took a deep breath. I'm not sure why I was so nervous. We had just seen each other and hour ago.

     The door opened again revealing Lizzie. She looked beautiful. Her hair was flowing in waves and she had light make up on. I could already feel my pulse quicken at the sight of her. God I was pathetic.

    "Lizzie, what are you doing here?" I asked sweetly as not to give the wrong impression

    "Well, I guess I just wanted to see you play again. Now that I know you and can appreciate it better." She said with a cute laugh

   Her smile was contagious. I couldn't help but smile back at her.

    "Sorry if we suck then." I said jokingly

    She laughed and shook her head before looking at me.

    "I'll still cheer even if you suck. Just sing me a song and we'll call it even." She bargained

    "Any requests miss negotiator?" I said back

    She gave me a look. A look that said so many things that I chose to ignore because she walked up to me and fixed a strand of my hair before letting her hand linger on my shoulder.

    "Surprise me." She said softly, "I'll be right front and center of the stage so I expect it to be a good one."

    "I'll try not to disappoint." I said quietly looking her straight in the eyes

    "I'm sure you won't." She said letting her hand trail done my arm as she walked away and back through the door to front of the bar

    I stood there in what felt like shock for a moment before Jaxon threw a pick at me. I jumped and turned to look at the guys staring at me with amused looks on their faces.

   "What?" I asked

   "I don't know what but I do know that, that girl right there, she wants you." Vince said with a laugh and the others started laughing too

    "Shut up. No she doesn't. She's just my neighbor." I defended

    "Yea. Your 'neighbor'. Bullshit" Matty teased with finger quotes.

    "Whatever. Let's work on the set. We go on in 20 minutes. I'm adding a song to the end." I said

    "For Lizziiiiiiiie." Vince teased

   The guys all cracked up laughing before settling down so we could work on certain songs and finally the song I added to the end. I was just praying I wouldn't embarrass myself out there.

Lizzies P.O.V

    The lights dimmed signaling that show was starting. I looked up at the stage as the curtains opened and dim spot lights shown on each member of the band.

     Madison looked so good up there. (Pic at the top ^^) She had abs for days and the shorts complimented her legs well. She looked so at home up there.

    I though back to our little moment backstage. I was definitely flirting and she was definitely nervous. It was cute though. The way she tried to play it cool and act like she wasn't affected. I saw through it though. I laughed to myself before looking up and making eye contact with Madi.

    She winked at me before turning and nodding at the band. The first song started and the crowd cheered.

   I spent the next hour dancing and singing along with the covers they did. I listened closely to the originals so I could memorize them for next time.

   The show seemed to be winding down when Madi spoke out to the crowd.

    "So this last song is by request. Well not the song itself but I was told to sing a song for this girl and she said to surprise her. So this last song is for her." She said looking at me for a moment before looking back at the crowd.

(Play Isabelle by Zach Hood)

Silk sheets and neon lights
Stayed up 'til four or five
Think that it's kinda nice
Underneath the moon
'Til the sun arrives yeah
Strummed songs on your guitar
Drove 'round in your jet black car
Got lost went too far
Went too far

Now I'm wasting time with Isabelle
Five foot sweet with skin like caramel
Every time it feels brand new
Wish I could rewind the things we do
Now I'm wasting time with Isabelle

Everything just seems so real
Can't lie bout the way I feel
Might be head over heels, head over heels
Three nights no drama
Yeah you're like no other yeah
So girl do you wanna?
Do you wanna?

Now I'm wasting time with Isabelle
Five foot sweet with skin like caramel
Every time it feels brand new
Wish I could rewind the things we do
Now I'm wasting time...

It was an original. I knew that cause I'd never heard the song before. It was amazing. And the way she would look at me from time to time while singing it had my heart racing.

The song came to an end and she thanked the crowd before bowing and the curtains closed. The speakers started playing music from the DJ on the other side of the room and everyone started dancing.

I made my way to the bar to get a drink. I needed one. My face was flushed and my heart was doing this weird thing. Something about how she sang that song for me just did something. I stood there drinking the rum and coke I ordered waiting for Madison so come up from the back.

    Ohh Lizzie, you're in trouble....
