Him

Meet-n-Greet

After that whole thing, I walked to the Trove. Which I heard was a good thrift store. When I walked inside it was crowded, and I wanted to scream. 'I hate places with people' It felt like everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and just stared at me. My phone went off and I saw that Mary-Anne had texted me, so I quickly opened my phone. 

Mary-Anne😍

I turned my phone off and quickly walked to the door and went outside searching for Mary-Anne. 'knew it.' I thought but I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around quickly seeing it was in fact, Mary-Anne. "AHHHHHHHH" I screamed and she pulled me into a tight hug, in which case I winced, but hugged her back. "OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?!" I practically screamed. "Well, I wanted to come earlier so here I am." She said smiling, and clapped her hands. "UGH. It's sooo fucking good to see you." I said. "Same bae. Your face looks like shit though." She said and I rolled my eyes at her. "Yea, yea, I know. Come on let's go." I said dragging her back into the store. 

As we shopped we caught up on what was going on back in Utah and how Ben was most likely going to jail. We shopped around and we ended up getting a lot of cute clothes. "We have to post these when we get back to your place." She said. "Oh yea no, we definitely will." I said and nodded while she smiled. We ended up walking to the Sunset Plaza Salon to grab some hair shit and shit like that. I got some hair mask stuff, shampoo and conditioner, and this weird heat protectant. I didn't know how well it all worked but this place had good reviews so who knows. All of our stuff at this one place totaled to $248 and Mary-Anne was concerned I wouldn't be able to pay for all of it but grandma gave us cards with literally unlimited amounts of money. 

"Where do you wanna go next m'lady?" Mary-Anne asked in a silly voice. "How about ice cream dearest?" I said and nudged her and she squealed like a little girl. "Ice cream it is." And we both started dying of laughter. 

It was getting hotter and I was really starting to regret wearing these jeans. When we got to the local ice cream place it was PACKED. I felt a panic attack coming on and Mary-Anne sensed it was coming. "Hey sit down outside." She said and sat me down in a cool shady area and sat down next to me. She put her hand on my shoulder and helped me focus on my breathing. 

"You guys need any help?" A guy with a German accent said to us. I recognized him as Bill from Tokio Hotel and just shook my head 'no' because Mary-Anne obviously couldn't speak anymore. I shook my head and laughed at her, regaining my breaths and finally breathing normal. 

"You sure? I could get you a water. I'm waiting for my brother and my friends right now. Mind if I sit with you?" His accent made him 10x more attractive then what he already is. "Yea by all means go ahead." I said gesturing to the chair in front of me. "Thank you." He said as he sat down and I just nodded my head at him. "Well I'm gonna go get ice cream, wha-what do you want Ar-Aria?" She fumbled over her words and swallowed nervously. "Mint chocolate chip thanks." I said and she nodded and walked into the store. Bill turned his attention to me and raised an eyebrow when he saw my face. "What uh happened there?" He asked pointing to his eyebrow, chin, and cheek. "Ah, got into a little fight." I said not giving him any more details. He nodded and added, "With who?" He was questioning me and it was starting to annoy me. "Just some girl." I said and looked at something else, something I always did when I lied. "Mmm, who won?" He asked. To be honest I didn't know what to say to that because hadn't Ben won? I sat there for a few seconds only to lie and say "I did." And he nodded, a smirk on his face. "What?" I said. "Nothing, you just don't seem bothered that I'm sitting with you?" He cocked an eyebrow at me again and I responded with, "Eh, I don't really know you guys. I mean I get y'all are celebrities and shit but I don't like listen to your guy's music." I said and shrugged sinking lower into my chair and spread my legs like a man. 

"Interesting." Was literally all he said and I nodded my head. I looked at the window to see where Mary-Anne was and saw she was talking to some dude with cornrows. 'I literally just want my ice cream.' I thought and turned my attention back to Bill who looked like he was studying me. "What" I asked coming off more harsh then I wanted to. "Nothing. What's your name?" He asked. "My friend said my name earlier." 'Well I wasn't really paying attention to her." He said as he crossed his legs. I sighed and mumbled my name. "Speak up." He said. "ARIA" I yelled and he looked taken aback and I just groaned, putting my head in my hands, hitting cheek and eyebrow too hard. "AH FUCK" I yelped and immediately my head starting hurting. "Fucking shit." I groaned and looked at Bill. "You okay?" He asked and I just nodded my head. "Yea, I just didn't take my medication today is all." I said and once again he cocked an eyebrow at me. 

We sat there for a few until I heard Mary-Anne say my name. "Yea?" I yelled and she was standing above me handing me my ice cream. 'god, your so fat.' I thought to myself. "Nevermind I lost my appetite." I said shaking my head. "Ari, you've gotta eat something. You haven't seen since yesterday." I just shook my head at her. "So, your just gonna let good ice cream go to waste." Said a man with a German accent but it wasn't Bill, this man's voice was deeper. "Yes the fuck I am." I said and I glared at him. "Tom, this is Aria and Aria this is Tom." So that was the dude with the cornrows. 'also the dude who commented under your post.' "Pleasure to meet you." I said in a sarcastic tone and he smirked. "Alright I'm going the fuck home so I can go OD on my medication." I said as I got up. Bill looked concerned as did Tom and Mary-Anne. The other two, who I'm guessing were Gustav and Georg, had unreadable expressions. I started laughing at everyone's expressions and then everyone looked even more concerned. 

"Oh guys, I'm just kidding about that. I do gotta go take my medication though, as you can tell my face looks like shit." I said and smiled but everyone still looked worried. "Oh, sheesh, y'all are a tough fucking crowd." I said and snickered as I walked away. "ARIA!" Mary-Anne yelled my name but I just wasn't in a socializing mood anymore. I walked home in silence, insulting myself in my thoughts. 

When I got home, I went straight to bedroom and locked the door behind me, not wanting to talk to anyone. My phone kept buzzing so I pulled it out and saw I had thousands of text messages from Mary-Anne.
