"Hanna come on!" Neela says grabbing my arm "we have to go". Neela and I had been best friends since we were 5 and once she found out her favourite band Måneskin was coming to Finland she begged me to go with her, I liked Måneskin they were great musicians but I wasn't a die-hard fan like Neela. "I'm coming god, I just got back from work," I say quickly changing Neela had made the decision that we had to dress as a rock as possible, which I found hilarious cause Neena usually wore light colours was now sporting a green skirt and black boots (top image). I on the other hand wore a cheetah print pair of flares, a Bowie shirt and a leather jacket. 

We got to the stadium an hour early, Neela begged ad pleaded with security but they wouldn't let her in early. "Come on I'll buy you coffee," I say pulling Neela away, once we got our coffees Neela spent the whole time talking about Måneskin. 


"Ahh let's go," Neela says grabbing my hand and dragging me through the stadium doors we had mosh pit tickets and the stage was crazy big, we had about 15 minutes till the concert started and Neela was bouncing off the walls "calm down or they're gonna kick us out" I laugh. The concert started and Damiano's voice echoed through the room. 30 minutes into the concert we hear in 'oh shit' from the stage and Thomas quickly makes his way over to Vic "Um sorry everyone could we just have a minute" Damiano says calmly. We hear hushed voices from the stage and someone says "is it broken?" but that's all I can really make out.


 "Hey everyone um Vic has hurt her hand and won't be able to keep playing, but the show shall go on," he says teh last part in a dramatic voice  "we don't have time to bring in a replacement bassist but we were wondering if anyone in the crowd played bass?" Damiano asks as the crowd cheers "ahh yes, yes my friend does" Neela says to a security guard "great where is she?" he asks smiling kindly "Hanna!" Nella says grabbing my arm Wha-" I ask but before I can finish the question the guard is hoisting me over the barricading.  "Damiano, she plays," the guard says gesturing to me "I'm sorry what?" I ask panicking "you play bass right that's what your friend said," the guard says as Damiano jumps down off teh stag next to me "um yeah but I'm not that good," I say anxiety ragging through me "I'm sure you're gonna be awsome" Damiano encourages helping me onto the stage. 



I began to play the opening to Mammamia and the crowd went wild I could see Neela screaming and dancing. I played for another 30 minutes till the concert finished. "Thank you so much you were a lifesaver," Ethan says climbing out from behind the drum kit. "Sorry, but what's your name?" Thomas asks also walking over "oh um Hanna" I say smiling, "well Hanna you are fantastic" Damiano complements "oh wow thank you" I blush "I better go but thank you" I say trying to climb off the stage "you don't have to go we would love to get to know you better we don't really know anyone in Finland" Ethan smiles "alright I'll stay but can I bring my friend I don't want her walking home alone" I say looking down at Neela who was still standing there "of course" Thomas says. I gesture to Neela and she makes her way onto the stage "come with us" Damiano says leading us backstage.



"Hi, I'm Victoria," the blond bassist says "you are fantastic how long have you been playing?" she asks  hugging me "oh um a few months," I say embarrassed "holey shit really?" Thomas asks coughing. "So what should we do know?" Ethan asks sprawling himself onto a couch "we were gonna go to a party but Vic hurt her finger" Thomas says as Vic looks down at her finger "You can come to our place" Neela blurts and teh others look up "if that wouldn't be a problem we would love to, we don't really know where else to go" Ethan says.


Vic POV

Ethan looks a little flustered not wanting us to impose on two new possible friends "it's no problem at all" the girl I think her name was Neela grins. Hanna stands awkwardly beside Neela, Neela was tall and confident and didn't seem to have a filter and Hanna just seemed to accept it. "We live like a block away there's no need to drive," Hanna says leading us out of the stadium. Hanna walked at a steadily pace chatting to as all where Neela seemed to skip along quickly "sorry about her she drank a little" Hanna says grabbing Neela so she didn't get run over.  


We stop at a small apartment building that only seems to house a few patrons. We walk about 1 flight of stairs to what I presumed was their floor but also housed others but I was wrong they had teh floor all to themselves there were no other people just 1 door that opened to a whole floor they owned. "Would you like something to eat?"Hanna asks as teh 4 of us stand awkwardly in the doorway, "make yourself at home do whatever you want to. I will show you around in one sec just need to grab the cat" Hana says and I smile as she walks over to a small door and slides it open a small tuft of fur wanders out clumsily "this is  Peanut" Hanna says picking teh small kitten up and handing her to Neela who sat on the couch. 


"Oh fuck right the tour" Hanna swears "so this is the kitchen, this is Neela's room, my room, bathroom" she lists off showing us each room "and finally the music room," she says pushing the door open "can we go in?" Thomas asks "of course," Hanna says leading us in. The room is filled with instruments, photos from gigs and a bunch of other stuff "are you in a band?" Damiano asks looking at a picture of Hanna holding a bass on stage "oh yeah that's m band 2 months ago at our first festival" she smiles. "Vic, you okay you haven't said anything in a while?" Ethan asks looking worried "hmm? oh yeah, I'm fine" I hadn't been listening all I could focus on was the girl in front of me she was beautiful and funny and kind. 


I watch Damiano wander out of teh room and down teh hall "Is this your room?" Damiano says peering in "yeah feel free to go in" Hanna says as she talks to Thomas about music. We soon all follow Damiano to Hanna's room. "Vic, how's the finger?" Hanna asks "it's um alright" I lie "let me see," she says taking my hand and looking at it, her hands were soft and her fingers gently danced over mine. "Does this hurt?" she asks pressing on my fingers "no," I say truthfully, "this hurt?" she asks pressing on a different part I shake my head "here?" she asks pressing "a little," I say "I don't think it's broken, one sec," Hanna says disappearing into the bathroom. 


"Here sit," she says gently she has a roll of band-aids in her hand and wraps 2 of my fingers "how do you know how to do this? I ask looking down at my now bound hand "I'm a volunteer paramedic for flood season so they gave me basic training" she says. I wanted to kiss her right then and there this girl was fuckin perfect. "So, Hanna what do you do for a living?" Damiano asks looking around her room "I'm in my last year of uni I'm studying engineering" she says as  I examine the room, there were stacks of books, pictures, small trinkets and a bunch of broken bits and pieces splayed across her desk. "I Neela asleep?" Thoams asks sticking his head out of teh room and realising she is no longer on teh couch "probably," Hanna says looking too.  "damn it's super late would you mind if we stayed the night?" Ethan asks checking his watch "no of course, not 2 people can fit in here and there's a fold-out bed in the music room and 2 pull out couches," she says. We all decide where we are each sleeping  Hanna and I end up both sleeping on the fold-out couches, Once the others are all in bed and probably asleep Hanna goes to change in the bathroom not long after I follow her. I knock on the bathroom door and she tells me I can come in she's wearing pyjama pants and a tank top but I couldn't stop watching her "oh fuck it" I mutter and take a step closer to her and pull her in close, our lips meet and the kiss was perfect her mouth was soft and tasted sweet.
