Chapter 13

P.O.V Toby

After I managed to explain, why I got the water, without telling them I knew Swiss personally, the waiting had gone over relatively fast.

And now the time had come, that we could enter. Most people first went to the merchandise shop, which I normally also would have done, but a good place near stage was just more important right now.

I quickly speed walked to the front, with Jay and Anni following me. All three of us luckily cached a place directly at the barricade and now we just had to wait a little bit longer now.

To pass the time, we exchanged numbers and I was added to the group chat of them.
And who could stop us from face timing? Right, nobody.

The others stood on the right side in front of the stage, Valerie hoping to get ciriced.
We talked for some time until people started to get on stage.

The supporting band started to play and because I luckily brought my camera with me, I was able to take some nice shots of the performance.

After one and a half hours and great songs, they left and we again had to wait half an hour, until you could slightly see people behind the curtain.

The first notes of Kaisarion were played and the curtain dropped.
Everyone started to scream and three Ghouls went to the front of the stage, where they really started to play.

I had to admit, it was kinda cool.

Papa came from behind and started singing, with him the whole arena.
If I'm being honest, I didn't expect it to be so... amazing.

I took out my camera and took some photos. After the concert, I would see how they turned out but now I quickly looked back to the main stage to search for the one person I'm here for. Swiss

Anni seemed to notice that I was searching for him and pointed at one Ghoul on a small stage next to the drums.

"That's Swiss.", she told me and I nodded thankful.
Now that I saw him for the first time, even when I didn't really saw his face, and not just texted him, the flutters in my stomach began to rapidly increase.
I mean, they were always there when we texted or when I thought about him, but now it was way stronger.

And oh my fucking god. How hot can a person be? I was blushing so hard and looked probably looked like a idiot, but the way he sang and danced on his little stage. Let me put it like that: he was very attractive.

Midway through the concert, Papa had one of his little talks and the Ghouls roamed around in the background.
Jay and Anni next to me always explaining who who was.

Suddenly, a Ghoul who seemed to be Sodo, stood right in front of us. He literally stared at me and then pointed at me. Aether saw that and also came to see, what Sodo found.

I took my necklace and showed it to them, because Swiss probably told them how he wanted to find me. Sodo nodded and ran to Swiss, telling him something.

Said man turned his head to me and I waved slightly. Because he didn't have a mask over his mouth, I could see his big bright smile as he spotted me.

But then Papa started the new song and he had to concentrate on that again. Even tho I could see him checking on me every few minutes. As if I would just disappear into thin air.

Of course, I had to use those quick glances to take some pictures of him. As he saw what I was doing, he even poses a bit, which caused a little screaming through the crowd behind me.

———

The end of the concert slowly arrived and as they said their goodbyes, I saw Swiss grabbing one of Mountain's Drumsticks and rolling a paper around it.

He then came to stop in front of me and threw me the stick.
Anni next to me was screaming her lung out how lucky I was that I got a drumstick and got noticed by three Ghouls.

And of course she had to take a photo of me, just like the ones at graduation, which she then send to the group chat with Valerie, Mike, Ruby and Thomas spamming how cool that was.

When everyone was gone from stage, the mass of people began to leave the concert hall.
I went with Jay and Anni, but both had to go on the toilet.

"I'll wait in the corner right there.", I told them and pointed at a small place between the wall and a pillar.
"Ok. We'll see you in a second then. Or minutes with the crowd of people who have to piss.", she said and they began to fight their way through the people.
Kinda looked like Moses how he parted the sea, only the they didn't part it and just got stuck in there.

After I send a quick text to my local undertaker, I found a way to get to the corner.
There, I finally could read the message, that Swiss send me.

"Come back to the concert hall. Right side of the stage."

Looking around me, I saw no one of my friends, so I informed them in the group that I still had to do something and they didn't had to wait for me.

Then I walked back to the stage, where most people already left. The ones that didn't, already were at the door, so I was pretty much alone there.

I stood on the right side, where he told me to and looked around but nobody was there. Then the security dude, who also brought me the water, came to me.

"Wait. But you aren't Swiss right? What is my favourite colour?", I asked him and he laughed.
"Don't worry, I'm not Swiss. He's just too scared to show up to take you backstage."

"Yeah, that sounds like him."
