38. Backstage passes

I wrote this at 3am shhhh don't judge me hahaha

"Skyla seriously" Jaylen groaned. "No, I won't go with you to the concert" I sighed for the hundredth time.

"Why do you even want to go to a 5 Seconds Of Summer concert?" I asked confused whilst folding my shirts into my drawers neatly.

"Because, I haven't seen them performed since school and because I have nothing to do that day" Jaylen explained.

"You can ask Dennis to come with you, or Maddy or Emily" I shrugged. "Yeah but you're my best friend" She pouted, giving me look.

I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Fine, but if I decide to leave early, you're not coming with me" Jaylen laughed sarcastically.

"Boo, I'm driving" I gaped my mouth open in disbelief. "Yeah that's right" She smirked evilly.

For some odd reason today, Jaylen would not stop begging me to go to a 5 Seconds Of Summer concert. It was weird since just a day before this she was threatening to kill Luke at any given day.

"Great, now here's the VIP pass and here's the-" I stopped Jaylen before she went any further on digging her purse.

"VIP?" I asked her in disbelief. "Oh sorry that's not yours" She laughed nervously before taking the VIP pass out of my hand. "Here" She handed me another similar looking pass but this time it was backstage pass.

"Backstage pass? What the hell Jaylen?" I swore aloud. "What? I don't have anything else all of these are just tickets and I don't have any-"

"Jaylen are you insane? I'll be seeing Luke then" I groaned in annoyance. "I didn't think that through but hey free merch" She pulled out a puppet that I recognized as Ketchup and a few wristbands.

I inhale a deep breath and exhale feeling a little bit better than before."I have another reason why I want to come to the concert" She raised her hand up. "Why?" I asked her softly.

"To beat the shit out of Rena Lovelis and show her who's got the upper hand and to not mess around at Jayla's barbeque" She said proudly.

I laughed at that one, I realized she used our apparent ship name 'Jayla' that has been going on before I even dated Luke. "If that's the reason then I volunteer as a tribute" I laughed finally feeling a little bit lighter about the situation.

"So all good?" Jaylen asked. "I guess" I shrugged.

"The concert is in 3 days alright?" Jaylen reminded, I nodded at her.

How does Jaylen always manage to convince me in everything? She has some mad skills and I need to work on my denying skills.

"Good" She smiled, something tells me there's something behind that smile and I have feeling that I wouldn't like it.

"So you're going to their concert in 3 days?" Aiden asked. "Yeah, isn't that crazy? Jaylen has been acting so weird lately" I told Aiden leaning on the living room couch.

Aiden didn't say anything. "You don't seem normal either" I squinted my eyes at him accusingly.

"I just failed my physics, I'm not in the greatest mood" Aiden snapped. I gave him a weird look but brushed it off not wanting to question his daily mood swings. "I'm going to the city later" Aiden finally said after an awkward silence.

"Why?" I questioned him curiously. "Because, I'm meeting a friend there" He said.

"Oh, what for?" Aiden thought for awhile before answering. "Just for the normal studio stuff, I've been writing a lot lately and I really want to record them soon" I forgot that Aiden had a singing career and he's been planning to make an EP for so long, I was proud of Aiden for reaching this point of life. "Well, I'm sure it will sound amazing" I gave him a smile.

"Who's driving you there though?" I questioned. "I asked Seth yesterday if I could carpool with him since he was going to city today as well.

I heard a car pulled up, I assumed that it was Seth since Aiden stood up and grabbed his sling bag and guitar. "Bye Sky" Aiden gave me a hug.

"Don't come home too late asshole, I don't want to hear mum whine about where the hell you are and her assuming that you're sacrificed to Satan or something" I laughed and so did Aiden, he waved me goodbye before leaving the house completely leaving me alone, technically since Sarah was sleeping upstairs and my parents are working.

I grabbed my phone from the coffee table and scrolled through twitter. Munchkin, my pet cat decided to hop on my lap and rest. Though, I didn't mind since she has always been a lazy cat.

I stroked Munchkin's soft fur whilst scrolling through twitter. I took a picture of Munchkin and posted the picture on twitter, just because I think Munchkin looked adorable.

'@SkylaButler: Chillin' with Munchkin'

I played around with Munchkin until I heard Sarah yawning and stomping down the stairs and sat on the couch. She gave me a tired smile. "Hi Munchkin" Sarah tapped Munchkin's head softly.

I sighed and leaned back on the couch still thinking about the concert and the backstage meet and greet.

I'm praying it'll be a 60 seconds meet and greet, maybe even lesser. I'm still not ready to face Luke, what if he decided to have someone shoot me if he knows that I'm coming, that will be terrible.

Yet, great since I don't have to meet him.

I hope this is going to be worth it.
