Your POV

I changed my outfit that I'll also wear to the concert and now I'm curling my h/l h/c hair.

"Are you coming, Y/n?!" I hear Gee shout from the other side of the bus.

"One second!" I shout back, finishing the last curl. I put on my eyeliner and lip balm before taking one more look at myself.

I walk into the living room and all the guys are waiting there for me. They look over at me from the couch when I walk in.

"That took forever." Frank says as he stands up with the others.

"Oh shut up" I say as I roll my eyes. He just laughs and walks out the door, the rest of us following close behind him.

Ray POV:

As we walk to the car, I catch myself staring at Y/n way more than intended. I'm mesmerized how her h/l h/c falls perfectly down her shoulder and how amazing her smile can make one feel. I remember the first time I saw her, I immediately had a crush on her but quickly ignored it because I didn't want to ruin our friendship. She's really beautiful though.

What the hell am I thinking? This is Y/n we're talking about. Your best friend since high school. I can't possibly think of her that way. Right?

Your POV:

I hop in the passenger seat and Ray gets in on the driver's side. Mikey is behind me, Frank is in the middle, and Gee is behind Ray.

We all sing along to songs on the radio until we arrive at the first interview. I look to the back and see Gee, still half asleep.

I walk in with Mikey to my left and the others in front of us. My mind wanders for a bit as we're led through the halls.

Mikey's quiet voice cuts through my thoughts. "Are you alright, Y/n?"

"Oh yeah I'm good, just thinking" I respond reassuringly. He simply nods in response.

Suddenly, a man with medium black hair and brown eyes walks out from one of the rooms. He is tattooed from head to toe, minus his face. "Hi, My names Ronnie." Gerard shakes his hand and says "Nice to meet you." Ronnie moves out of the way so we can enter the room.

The room has one large couch and a chair directly across from it. The lighting is surprisingly bright and band posters line the wall.

I sit on the far right with Mikey next to me. Gee, Frank and Ray are to Mikey's left.

The camera starts rolling and Ronnie asks mostly about plans for future albums and about touring. A few fans sent in questions and we answered a few. Most were about Frank and Gee's Relationship.

Unsurprisingly, Frank cracked many dirty jokes, making Gerard go bright red.

{At the venue of the concert - Half an hour until the show starts}

Your POV:

I finish up my makeup and put on some lip balm before walking over to the others to see what they're up to.

Gee had just finished putting on his red eyeshadow and Mikey's straightening his hair.

"Want your x's on the eyes?" Gerard asks Frank who's sitting on a stool.

"You know it." Frank says with a smile.

"Hold still" he says as he adds a little more eyeshadow around Frank's eyes. He drew the x's with black face paint carefully.

I see Ray trying to tame his curly hair in the mirror to the left.

"Can I do your hair?" I ask him. He looks over at me with his bright smile which causes me to smile too.

"Sure."

I grab some hair products from the drawer before getting to work. My little cousin has similar hair to his so I kind of know what I'm doing.

I gently combed Ray's hair which thankfully, wasn't tangled. When I look up to grab the curl defining cream and spray, I notice him looking at us in the mirror.

After I put in the cream and spray, I comb his hair once more. I play with it a bit and then say "Done!"

Ray takes a good hard look at his hair and then says "Thanks Y/n. I love it" with a smile.

"Anytime, Ray Ray" I replied with a grin.

"You guys ready to blow this popsicle stand?" I ask the band.

"Fuck yeah! Let's do this shit!" Frank says energetically as he pumps his fist in the air.

"Frankie!" Gerard says, sounding irritated as he swats the side of his head. "You almost smudged your face paint. Hold still like I told you to."

"Sorry, Gee" Frank giggles.

I walk over to Mikey who's still straightening his hair. "Are you done yet?" I ask him "You've straightened the same piece of hair four times"

"It takes time to look this good." Mikey responds with sass.

I can definitely see how he and Gerard are related.

"Almost done though" he adds, fixing his hair.

There's ten minutes until the show so I use the bathroom. When I walk back in the room, Someone shouts "Boo!" and grabs my shoulders.

I jump and spin around fast to see who just scared me.

Frank motherfuckin Iero. Why am I not surprised?

"You short shit! You scared me half to death!" I exclaim, glaring at him.

Frank just laughed and said "A, I'm taller than you and B, that was hilarious"

"You're a pain in the ass you know?"

"Love you too, N/n"

"Are you ready yet Mikey?" Ray asked.

"Gimme a second" Mikey responds, not looking away from the mirror.

"Hurry up" Frank whines, extending the 'p'.

"I've changed my mind, Mikey is the slowest." Gee says with a laugh. Mikey looks over at his brother and glares, making Gerard laugh more.

"I'm done." Mikey says, standing up. "Finally!" I respond, making him roll his eyes

"Let's do this thing" Gee says "3,2,1-"

"Revenge!" The five of us shout.
