LOVE IS KEY || A Tyler, The Creator Story REIMAGINED

2-The Meet Up

We finally made it into the concert venue and grabbed our seats at the top of the venue. According to Meech, there was no way in hell he was gonna let me be in the pit because he knew all hell would break loose. He wasn't so much worried for me but worried about the people around me if I got punched or something. We'd definitely get kicked out of the concert for sure. I was feeling now more than ever thankful that I've kept the same circle for the past few years.

Akeylah: (smirks) I hope you guys are ready to have your entire perspective changed after tonight.

They all either made a sly remark or rolled their eyes at my comment

Michelle: Oh please! Rap music these days don't even be talking about anything and needs closed captions and translators.

Demetrius: Aye! Not everything. You just haven't heard the right stuff.

Michelle: Oh? Like who?

We continued to make random conversation until we could barely hear each other anymore due to more people flooding in. Soon, the lights dimmed and people started cheering all around us and I tried hard to keep my squeals to myself. Everyone lost their shit as Tyler ran onto the stage.

TWO HOURS LATER

The show was over and people were either heading home, god knows elsewhere, or line for the meet and greet. I don't know how, but somehow we were at the very end and I was fuming, to say the least. Lo just HAD to get a big gulp on the way here and we ended up waiting for him to go to the restroom and come back for us to join the line as a group. I knew I should've jumped in line by myself. Soon after what felt like HOURS, we were next in line to meet Tyler. I could feel my heart pounding through my chest as I glanced over at him chatting with a fan signing a cd for them.

Akeylah: (whispers/yells) I'm so nervous my palms are sweating and my armpits!

Khadijah: Oh you'll be fine. I thought you LOVED this man.

Khadijah nudged me as we made it to Tyler and Jasper standing off to the side

I immediately froze in place just staring at him and thinking of how so much more attractive he was in person.

Tyler: (waves his hand) Uh...Nigga? Are you there?

Akeylah: (stutters) I...I um.

Mentally I was cursing myself out for looking like a bump on the log in front of this man.

Kenneth: Um, today is her birthday and she's just super nervous. She's a huge fan of yours.

He was trying to save me from embarrassment as he sometimes does

Tyler: (smirks) Well it'd be fucking nice to hear that from her mouth. What's your name?

He's known for mocking and poking fun at fans that act all nervous around him. It's fun to mess with them for him.

Akeylah: (laughs nervously) Uh...I think it's Akeylah. Right?

I looked back at my friends and they either nodded or gave a thumbs up

Tyler: (snickers) Happy Muhfucking Birthday I think it's Akeylah!

Jasper joined in snickering as well. I couldn't help but blush as I clutched the gift bag handle for dear life. I had made this painting a while back that I had always dreamed of giving to Tyler. I couldn't even bring myself to hand it to him my nerves were so bad. He eventually glanced down at it then back at me with a smirk before grabbing it
