A whole bunch of people start screaming and yelling for them to start playing already. I begin to feel anxious. There is a weird feeling in my stomach and I don't like it. My body starts to sweat.The band starts singing their song. There is so much screaming and screeching and I can't take any of it. Eli loves the screaming but personally I hate it. I think the screaming is meaningless and unnecessary. I mean rock bands would be so much popular if they didn't scream. The music is so loud that by the time they finish their song, I will probably be deaf.I take a glance at Abby and Eli. They are dancing and having fun.I look away and go back to enjoying the show or at least pretend to. I clap my hands and shake my body but there is still something bothering me and I don't know what it is. An hour later, I see Abby with a drink in her right hand and holding her stomach with her left. She trying to keep herself from falling. It looks she is about to faint. Eli looks at me and signals me to come over.

" What?" I say in a very loud voice so that they can actually hear me over all this noise.

" I think Abby's sick" he says.

" What did you say?" I say because I can't hear him.

" I think she is sick" he says louder.

" I think I'm going to call a taxi for her so she could go home" he says.

We walk outside of the stadium and walk even further until we can't hear the noises of the concert. He unlocks his iPhone and starts calling the taxi.The phone starts ringing.

"Hi, I need a taxi to come to 76 Main Street please" he says. There is a short pause.

" Thank you, bye" he says and ends the phone call.

" Someone is coming for you in five minutes" he says to Abby. Abby nods.

She looks horrible. Suddenly she bends down and a disgusting looking fluid comes right out of her mouth and lands on Eli's red and white Jordan's. Gross.

" Hey, those were new" he says.

" I'll be right back. I have to clean this up" he says pointing at his vomit-covered shoes. When it comes to sneakers, boys are so dramatic. Even if there was a speck of dirt on their sneakers, they would panic and clean it up immediately.

" Boys take their sneakers very seriously"I say.

" Yeah" she says and laughs then holds her stomach. I can tell that she is struggling to keep herself up.

Five minutes later, a yellow car with a whole bunch of advertisements all over it parks right in front of the stadium. It's the taxi.

" Your taxi is here" I say to her.

Abby walks slowly to the car and before she gets in, she says " bye Amber."

" Bye Abby" I say. " Feel better."

The taxi backs out of the stadium parking lot and drives out into the street. I feel so bad for her. This is her first rock concert and she didn't even get to enjoy it. I don't think it's fair. About half an hour passes and Eli is still not back from the bathroom. I can't wait anymore. He is taking way too long. I go inside the stadium and find a door that says bathroom. It says boys on it but I don't care. I open the door. I see Eli rubbing soap and water with a paper towel on his sneakers.

" Eli, calm down, you can clean them when we get home" I say.

He looks at me and sighs.

"Okay" he says.

Suddenly a guy comes inside the bathroom. He stares at me and pauses. I understand that it was weird and awkward that a girl was in the boy's bathroom but he didn't have to stare at me like I'm so kind of freak or alien.
