I saw the guys just sitting there. The drummer was twisting his drum stick, the bassist pulled some of the strings of her bass, the guitarist took a smoke and the lead singer wrote in his sketchbook. I looked around.

"Uh... Am i too late?" The guitarist looked at me and then focused back on his cig.

"Yes. Yes you are." The singer said while he looked at his paper. I looked down.

"Sorry. I guess I will go then." I was starting to leave.

"No it's fine. You can stay here with us." The bassist answer as she fixed her bass that had a broken sting. The guitarist handed me a pack of cigarettes.

"Want one?" I shook my head.

"I don't smoke." He shrugged and kept smoking. I looked around and saw a chair...

"Have a seat." The drummer pointed at the same chair I was looking at with his drum stick. I hesitated, but then sat down. It was silent.

"That... Was a great concert you guys." I smiled softly, but when nobody answered I looked down again. The singer looked up and nodded.

"Thanks. You were pretty off down there." I looked at him.

"What?" I looked at them confused.

"We saw you. I mean Victoria was literally flirting with you and you didn't even care." The singer laughed.

"She what?!" I looked up and Victoria, the bassist giggled.

"Yeah you were really off. Are you okay?" I smiled softly and tried to hide my emotions.

"Yeah. I enjoy music most with my eyes closed. It has another atmosphere."

"I know what you mean." The drummer spoke up.

"When I play I keep my eyes closed to be in my world." I smiled at him softly. He looked at me and then we both looked down.

"I guess... The two minutes are over... I should go... Sorry for bothering so late."

"What? No, you're cool." Victoria smiled.
"You can stay a little longer if you want." I smiled and the singer looked at me.

"So are you from here?" He asked me out of curiosity. I shook my head.

"This is the closest concert I found." I replied.

"Do you have a room?" I shook my head.

"I'm taking the train home." Just the thought gave me shivers. A train station. Alone. As a girl. The drummer spoke up again.

"You can stay with us. We have a free bed in our room. If you want to of course." My eyes widened.

"I... Really don't want to bother you guys." The singer laughed

"You don't. You are really cool. It's cool." I smiled and gladly took the offer.

"Thank you so much." They smiled and took me with them. I looked around and... Fans everywhere.

"Take the front entrance so you don't look like you're with us." They let me out of the car a few meters before the hotel and I walked there. When I went inside they already were waiting for me and they took me with them. I was in the room and looked around. It was huge. And of course music stuff was flying around.

"Sorry for the mess." I just smiled.

"Don't worry about it. I love creative chaos." The guitarist chuckled.

"Well then welcome." They showed me my bed and i sat down. Victoria sat next to me to comfort me around all the guys. I smiled at her.

"So... Why were you so off at the concert? You can tell us." She smiled at me softly. I looked down and played with my bracelet.

"I just... Lost someone important to me two weeks ago." The room was silent.

"I'm so sorry." The guitarist said.

"Who was it?" The drummer asked.

"Ethan!" Victoria said quickly.

"It's fine." I answered.
"My girlfriend. She killed herself two weeks ago..." Ethan's eyes became soft and he looked down.

"I'm so sorry..." I looked down and nodded.

"It's okay... She wanted to go to the concert with me. She was actually a huge fan of you guys and... I wanted to surprise her when we finally met after one year of distance relationship. Well... Fuck that, right?" I chuckled, but only to hide my sadness. Victoria put a hand on my shoulder and then pulled me to her to hug me.

"I'm so sorry. This is not fair." I nodded and wiped a tear.

"Life, right?" The guys all looked down.

"You are always welcome here, okay?" The singer told me.

"Thank you, Damiano" i smiled softly.
"I'm a little tired. Is it okay if I sleep?"

"Of course. Just wake us up if anything's wrong okay?" The drummer said. I nodded.

"Okay. Thank you Ethan. Good night you guys." I laid down and fell asleep.
