Note:
Sara, 24-years-old. Friend of the Bilnd Channel boys, maybe having some feelings towards our lovely Olli Matela... This also includes some small mentions of unhealthy relationsihps.
Sara was sitting alone on her bed, she couldn't sleep. It was raining outside, a basic storm in Finland. She wasn't used to being alone all night. She had recently broken up with her boyfriend, Mikael. Their relationship hadn't been a fair one. Mikael was always somehow mad at her. She didn't even need to do anything wrong to upset him. Usually he just yelled at her, but there were a few times he'd hit her. Finally, after two years, she had enough. She left him and started a new life in Oulu. At least she wanted to start over. The things Mikael did had left a permanent scar on her, they would haunt her for the rest of her life.
Even if she was kind of afraid of men nowadays, she knew all men weren't bad. For example her friends, the Blind Channel guys. They had been friends for years and they knew what she had to go through. The boys were there for her when she needed them. They always got her back. Sara was lucky to have them, especially one of them. The bassist of the band, Olli, seemed to be different from the others. There was something in him that made her knees weak. He was sweet and caring, but also super handsome. Even the smallest compliment from him made her blush. And that wasn't a good thing considering that Olli was a real gentleman.
Sara felt like she was a highschooler having a crush on him. Yet she knew she wouldn't be ready for a new relationship. Breaking up with Mikael was hard, but it wasn't the main problem. She had serious trust issues and traumas. Being around men, excluding her friends, made her anxious. That's why she only hung out with only few people. She knew she wasn't ready. She doubted if she'd ever be. Sara was afraid of getting hurt again, she'd rather be alone. If falling in love meant getting hurt and torn apart, she didn't want that. It should've been clear that not every man would break your heart, but for Sara it wasn't.
She'd slept for barely four hours. The night was long and full of anxiety, sometimes it was like that. Being alone had its effects on the young woman. Her thoughts got to wander around as much as they wanted, not giving her a rest. Now she was on her way to Blind Channel's studio. She liked to spend time with her friends while they were doing what they do best. Sometimes the girl was afraid of distracting them, but the boys always assured that it was nice to have her around. She even had a spare key, so she'd be able to get inside in case they didn't hear her knocking on the door.
Sara turned the key and opened the door. At first it seemed like she was alone, but a moment later the door was opened again. Further into the room walked no other than Olli. The man smiled at the girl and greeted her. It was weird to be there alone with him. Not that she'd mind it, though. He was nice. Maybe even a little too nice. He seemed like a perfect mixture of sweetness and hotness. At the same time he was the most caring and loving person on Earth, but at the same time he was a man that all the women would fight for.
"How's your day?" He asked her as he sat down on the couch next to her. Sara could feel thousands of butterflies flying around inside her stomach.
"It's fine, thanks."
The time flew, now they were heading towards a bar with the band and some of the crew members. The boys had worked hard the entire day, they needed to relax a little. And what could be a better way to relax than getting wasted? Nothing. Sara was walking behind everybody else, as they were on their way to the place where the magic happens. She wasn't a fan of alcohol, but she did drink sometimes. As they arrived, Olli held the door open for her. Those were the smallest things that made her go crazy about him. She couldn't help but blush, making him chuckle. He didn't even try to hide the smirk on his face.
One thing that Sara didn't know was that Olli actually liked her too. He was well aware of the effect he had on her, and he clearly took advantage of it. He loved to see her blush because of his actions. He knew he had some power over her, and it was exciting to him. He'd never hurt her, though. The man could never do anything to harm her. If anything, he wanted to protect Sara. However, he hadn't had the courage to tell her about his feelings. He was afraid of being rejected. As crazy as it sounds, it was true. The bassist knew about her past, about Mikael. He knew it wasn't easy for the girl to trust people, especially men.
As the time kept going forward, alcohol was beginning to affect the group. Sara hadn't drank too much, neither had Olli. He was feeling a little tipsy, though. The alcohol had given him some confidence and courage. It encouraged him to make his move. He excused himself and asked Sara to join him to go outside to get some fresh air. He grabbed her hand gently and led her outside. Sara's heart was beating like crazy. It felt like it would jump out of her chest at any moment. His touch felt so good, but at the same time somehow so forbidden. The butterflies made her knees go weak.
"So, how's the night going? Are you having fun?" He asked, leaning against the wall of the building.
"Yeah, it's been great." She said.
"Good to hear that. You know, I couldn't help noticing how you stare at me all the time." He then said, making her blush heavily.
"W-what? No, I haven't done that. Why would I do that?" She asked, trying to get away with the staring. He was so hot and handsome, how could she not stare at him?
"Oh, so now you don't know what I'm talking about. Why is that, love?" He questioned with a slight smirk. He knew exactly how much the nickname made her go crazy.
"I don't know. Maybe I just happen to look in your direction quite often?" She said. It came out more like a question than a statement. She tried to hide her blush, but Olli pushed her head back up with his fingers.
"You don't need to hide it. I love it when you do that." It was definitely the alcohol that made him say those things. There was no way he could be so risky while being sober. Yet it didn't mean the words weren't true. It didn't take long for their lips to collide. It was a loving but passionate kiss. Well, as long as it lasted. Soon she pushed him away gently, breaking the kiss.
"Sorry. Did I do something wrong?" The man asked with a worried tone. Even if he was a little tipsy, he still wouldn't hurt her in any possible way.
"I- No. No, you didn't. I just... I have to go." She said a little out of breath. The girl walked away, leaving the young man in confusion. Sara felt stupid. Of course kissing Olli was something she really wanted to do. She was just scared.

Sorry, this is something quick and stupid... I don't know, I was planning on doing part two, but I'm not sure if I'll do it.
