Unbelievable

|I've Got My Mind On You| Ch. 28

{POV : Y/N}

I've been going to small local shows in LA. I've encountered fans who probably think I'm revisiting my supposed "roots". Sometimes it makes me feel like a fraud. I have no real experience in the scene. Maybe  this can make up for lost time.

I feel like I stick out like a sore thumb though. I don't have the correct wardrobe it seems, or maybe I just think that I don't.

I can see a person carrying around a little clunky looking digital camera. It looks like a Casio QV-10 that had just come out in 1995. They're wearing a homemade looking shirt for that band that is currently playing. I can hear people whispering insults about them to each other.

Now I can see that it's a guy who's walking up to me. The way he's holding the camera gives away that he's been recording me. He's skinny, tall, and has hair that goes a bit past his shoulders. As he's bounding up to me he nearly trips on the baggy black cargo pants he's wearing.

"Hey! You're Y/n!" He shouts.

I nod my head and give an uncomfortable smile.

"You're dating the guy from Foo Fighters!" He shouts.

I repeat my nod and smile.

"What are you doing here?" He yells. The room is quieting down now.

"I just wanted to. You know..." I'm trailing off.

"You and the drummer break up yet? I'd like to take you on a date!" This really came from nowhere. I really wasn't expecting him to say something like that.

"No." I try to laugh off what he said.

It's weird that he would call Dave "the drummer". He isn't anymore. He clearly knows about Foo Fighters.

"I don't know if you've noticed... but I am taller than Taylor." He brags. He starts to talk more but by then I'm already walking away.

By the time I'm driving back home I realise he said Taylor. Do people think I'm dating Taylor? Is that just him? That doesn't even make sense. People just saw me with Dave. They think I'm with Taylor?

Now this is gonna be a whole thing. Now I have to talk to David about this. I swear to god.

I pull up to the front of the apartment building. I get out and ride the elevator to the top floor. When I open the front door I can hear David running to the door. He picks me up by the waist and showers me with kisses.

He sets me down on the kitchen counter. He pets my hair. I sigh loudly.

"So I was kinda harassed a bit at that show... and I left early." I confess.

"Oh. I'm sorry. I really should've gone with you." I says while looking into my eyes.

"And the guy... he was starting to give creepy vibes... he asked if I had broken up with my boyfriend." I say he can tell I want to say more so he stays silent.

"He like bragged about being taller than Taylor. As if he's my boyfriend?" I question.

"Wait he thought that you and Taylor... were dating?" He's clearly as confused as me.

"Well... that's what I think..." I look up at the ceiling.

"Do you think that more people think that?" He asks me.

"Yeah maybe. That doesn't make sense though. Does it?" I ask.

"Did it look like it?" I sound worried.

"It could've but we were very clearly together and he was third wheeling." He says but then he realises he made his friend third wheel.

"I'm gonna go to sleep." I say.

He pulls me off the counter and lets me walk to our bedroom.

{POV : DAVE}

I go over to the phone that's attached to the wall and I dial Taylor's number. I tell him what Y/n told me and after a bit more of talking we hang up.

Does it really matter that much? I know we're together. Our friends know we're together. Why should it matter if other people don't know that.

It's just the thought of her dating Taylor makes me uncomfortable? I mean if they were dating and we had never dated I wouldn't care.  But I don't need to think about it.

Because they're not dating. They're just friends. Just friends.
