Estelle

Glancing through the mirror, l scan the yellow skirt and top that I received from Flora a couple days ago. Although I am very grateful to her, whenever I wear clothing that she has given me I always end up feeling bad.

Breaking out of my thoughts, I hear the familiar ringing of my cellphone and step back towards my bed.

"Hey Esti, I'm here!" Flora calls into her phone excitedly, as I peer out the window and see her face beaming back at me.

"I'll be right there, hold on!" I blurt out in a hurry and walk back towards my bag on the dresser, hanging up the phone.

Grabbing my purse, I look back down at my phone and see the message screen pop up, bringing back the nervousness of the past 10 minutes. All the messages that I sent haven't even been read, and every time I have seen Aldric in the past week he has been really distant.

This is also the concert that he got the tickets for, when we fought.

As I make my way towards Flora's car, I can't stop thinking about seeing Aldric once again. I really hope that we can talk today.

Finally getting in, Flora can't seem to contain her excitement. I honestly have no clue how she has so much excitement although she has gone to so many Fovere concerts over the years.

Flora turns on some music -of course it's Fovere- and starts singing along, however my mind is still stuck on the man who got me the slips of paper in my hand. I glance at my phone, he still hasn't answered.

I swear there has never been anyone that would make me look at my phone this much, but this was just eating me up inside.

Letting out a soft sigh, I finally look away from the screen, shutting it off and place it inside my purse.

Looking towards the road, I feel Flora's gaze on the side of my face and for a second I thought she saw the screen.

''We're almost there!'' Floras voice chimes with excitement.

That thought disappears as fast as it appeared, a small wave of relief washes over me. If Flora knew that I had the phone number of one of the members of the Fovere band, I don't think I would ever hear the end of it.

Hearing a soft gasp from my left, my eyes snap up to hers before realizing that her eyes are elsewhere.

Woah.

''It's so pretty..'' I observe. The location of their concert is absolutely in the middle of nowhere, but it's beautiful.

After glancing at the large castle-like building, I can't peel my eyes away from it. From the shiny golden, almost medieval looking spires to the long frosted round windows, it looks straight out of the Victorian era. I can't believe that a band as modern as Fovere is playing in a place as breath-taking as this.

A small smile finds it's way onto my face, as I think about the time that I told Aldric about my love for gothic architecture. I can't help the thought from flashing across my mind. Did he do this for me?

That makes me feel even more bad. Maybe this wasn't a good idea.

The car comes to halt, I grab my purse from my lap and open the door. The place looks huge, towering over us. A smile creeps up onto my lips while my eyes take in every single small detail of this place. The tall omniscient trees not so far away, the calm dark grass, the birds flying around in the sky. I bet the inside is even prettier, and I can finally see Aldric again.

This is going to an amazing night.

I let out a long breath finally done with all the shoving. Flora seriously knows how to get all the way in the front even though its a tough crowd. I swear she even pushed a grandma on her way there.
