The cat sitter

19

A/n: reading your comments is my favourite thing ever. Thank you guys so much for all the support.

We walked past the long line of excited fans and straight to the door, unsurprisingly we did get a few dirty looks from the people who had been waiting there for hours and I did feel really bad. But Dream was Alec's friend so I guess it was okay.

"Hello sir, ma'am. Are you two on the guest list?" A tall security man said in a monotoned voice.

"Yeah, under the name Dream." He smiled.

"Come on in, here are your wrist bands." He led us into the venue, it was a huge and had high ceilings. Alec's instruments were set out on stage waiting.

"Dream!" I hear a loud whisper, we both turned around trying to find out where it was coming from.

"Over here." He giggled.

We both realised Alec was stood behind the curtain on stage, calling for us. We walked over and he invited us to come up with him. No one else was here yet therefore we were allowed to.

"Hey man! I've missed you how are you." He pulled Dream in for a hug before turning his attention to me, "Hi y/n! Dream has told me a lot about you, how are you doing?" He grinned at me trying to hide my shock.

"Hi! It's so nice to meet you, thank you for this." I said hugging him.

"No worries, also guys there's an after party if you would like to come. There's not many people going but maybe drop by for a bit?" He said while walking towards the dressing room with us following.

"Yeah man that'll be fun!" Dream said.

We got into the dressing room, it was spacious and it had some couches and desks inside it. We started talking about anything and everything, the conversation gravitating towards music and specifically guitar.

"Y/n is really good at guitar." Dream blurted out.

My face instantly became flushed crimson. I knew that I wasn't amazing, but I did it because I enjoyed it. "Okay you're hyping me up a bit too much. I'm mediocre at best." I laughed and rolled my eyes.

"Here." Alec unzipped a guitar case showing a beautiful acoustic. "Show me what you've got." He grinned.

"I hate you both."

I initially wanted to play something of Alec's but with the man there himself, I didn't want to make a fool of myself. I settled on a small original i'd been making.

I watched their faces grow with smiles and it boosted my confidence. I had never played in front of anyone before I did with Dream. Playing in front of the Alec Benjamin was intimidating to say the least.

I finished up the song, sat shy waiting for their reactions. "You're really good y/n! What song was that? I loved it."

I told him it was an original with embarrassingly red cheeks. The whole time I could see Dream watching us with a huge smile on his face. As much as I hated him, I appreciated him so much.

We spoke for about half an hour until the concert was about to start. We could either watch it from behind the wings of the stage or in the crowd, we decided to go in the crowd as the atmosphere was much better there.

As we were the first people let in, we were at the barrier right in front of Alec. It felt quite weird to be fangirling and singing along to his songs after just talking to him but I couldn't resist. Dream would be doing the same thing.

The crowd started filling the space behind us, a huge hall being occupied by excited fans. Dream looked a little out of place as the majority of the crowd were teenage girls, he was blocking views and towering above them. We did hear some people behind complaining about their view and I did feel kinda bad for them.

The lights died down and everyone started screaming and yelling in excitement. Moments away from the start of the show.

Alec stepped onto the stage and everyone went crazy. I looked up at Dream and he had the biggest grin on his face. He looked down at me and pulled me close by my waist, leaving his hand to linger on it before pulling it back to clap for the male on stage.

He played his set and it was probably the best show I've been to. The whole time I couldn't stop smiling and the glittering in the dirty blondes eyes said the same. We held hands through the slower songs and we jumped in sync for the more upbeat ones.

The concert reluctantly came to an end and a lot of people from the back started pouring back out the exits as the stage went dark. We waited until a lot of people had gone so we could go to the door that Alec mentioned to us before the show. We quickly snuck through and met him by the water fountain [ ;) ] in the corridor.

"Hey guys! Did you enjoy it." He said panting, he must've been so tired from touring for so long.

"It was amazing." We both said in sync and laughed afterwards.

"Come this way, you can hop in the tour bus with us and we'll go to the party." We walked through the back of the venue towards the private car park outside. As predicted, fans were stood around the fences waiting for Alec to come out. They screamed as they saw him and he was nice enough to go and get photos with them.

Dream and I quickly slid into the bus to avoid getting spotted by people who watched the vlogs. It was currently 11:30pm and we both expected to be on our way home by now but a couple of hours at the party wouldn't hurt.

We drove around 5 minutes to an expensive looking building with different rooms and halls in. We took a left inside and walked down a set of stairs which were carpeted with red and gold accents. We reached the end and it was a small hall where the party was being held.

Everyone wore expensive looking outfits including dresses and suits, Dream and I stuck out like a sore thumb but most of the stage members and backstage helpers also wore similar stuff to us. There was a buffet and drinks tables scattered around and everyone was chatting to each other.

"Dream, I'll point you in the right way for getting your music out there." Alec said to him, pointing at a few nicely dressed people.

"You make music?" I asked, I knew he had an interest in playing guitar but I didn't know he made music.

"Yeah. I've made a song with Alec but so far nothings released." He looked to the ground while thinking and suddenly gasped, "We should make a song together!"

I looked at him and laughed, "Me? Make a song with you? What would I do in it."

"Okay first of all, I've heard you play guitar and you're really good, secondly I've also heard you sing and you're really good at that too." He crossed his arms and jokingly pouted.

"When the hell have you heard me sing?" I have him the same attitude back while laughing at how dumb we looked in the corner of the party.

"In the shower and in the car, duh." He said flicking my forehead.

"Shut up idiot." We both started laughing and we joined in with the actual party.

We approached Alec who introduced us to some people, they were really nice and we stayed with them for most of the party.

-

We had been there a couple hours, hanging out with Alec mostly and also some people he introduced us to. We were quite tired so we decided to head home.

We said goodbye to our new friends and went to find Dreams car again. We got in and turned on the heat since it had gotten really cold outside.

"Thank you so much Dream, I had the best evening ever." I held his hand which was rested on my thigh.

"It was my pleasure, princess." He said with a wink and started driving home.
