Captivating // Ben Orr

part two

Still trying to process it all, I decided to go to the bathroom to check myself in the mirror.

I have to shove my way through all the people in the crowd to get out to go to the bathroom, I look back and then I happen to notice Ben was looking in my direction again; I start to trip thanks to my boots but I luckily didn't fall, yet.

"Ahh, gee, finally!" I exclaim while trying to catch my breath, finally reaching the bathroom.

I look in the mirror and check myself. then leave to go back to my seat.

"Ah, here we go again" I push through all the people to get back to my seat and luckily it wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be.

I try to scan to find Ben on the stage and couldn't find him at first, but
a second later, I see him picking up his bass and putting it over his head to prepare for the second to last song.

They all get in their places and begin to play "My Best Friend's Girl".

"Here she comes again, when she's dancing beneath the starry sky.."

"Gosh how is it almost the last song of the show? I sure wish I'd actually get to meet them, even Ben, but the chances of that happening..yeah right..if only; anyway, I should just not think of it right now and just see where the rest of the night leads me"
I think to myself.

I get lost dancing to the song and forget about everything;

They perform the last song and I'm still dancing along until the moment I dreaded but knew would potentially happen, happened.

"Oh shitt, OW-" I exclaim loudly as I find myself falling and hitting the floor and blacking out.

"Is she okay??" I hear a man ask

"Go get her some water and a blanket and some ice"

I hear another man but with a more deeper voice say.

"you poor thing, you were just having too much fun weren't ya?" He says rubbing my head and smiles.

"Who's talking and petting my head??" I think to myself, confused; but for some reason, their voice sounded somewhat familiar.

"Here ya go Ben" Elliot says, handing over the stuff Ben asked for.

Of course, I knew it. How'd I have a feeling it was Ben that brought me back here; not that I'm necessarily complaining though either. I think to myself.

"Thanks man, yeah, I think she did herself in for the night" Ben chuckles as he gently puts the ice on my head.

"I guess so, so what are we gonna do with her? She doesn't really look like she should be alone." Elliot says concerned.

"Yeah no, she definitely can't be alone, I might have to take her with me for the night, just to watch over her." Ben says matter-of-factly.

"Yeah, that's probably best." Elliot agrees.

"Ok little one, now I know you have no idea what's going on right now and you'll be confused when you wake up at my place, but you'll have to trust me, because it's for your own good; now I'm just gonna set you down in my stingray and then we'll be heading to my place where you can fully rest love" Ben says reassuring me.

Author's Note: let me just say I'm surprised I got as far as part two with my lack of experience 😅 but here we are and I'm honestly not too disappointed so let's hope I keep momentum 🥺

-Also after I posted this chapter I realized everything got all screwed up and now I have to re-write part two 😩 just what I didn't need 🥺😪 so I just wanted to put that disclaimer out there for anyone of you who most likely will be confused. My apologies 🥺
