When he walked out onto the general admission area, his head immediately turned to the girl. There was a kind of glow in his eyes and then his lips moved, "Y/N....".
For a moment, the world stopped around the two of them. After eleven years of not seeing each other, it felt like a giant weight was being lifted off their shoulders. His eyes met hers, and with their smiles, as if it were planned, they started running toward each other.
*Insert slowmo running*
As soon as they made it to each other, they embraced each other. Like as if one has found the missing piece of a puzzle.
"I missed you so much, love," Joe whispered, hugging her even tighter.
"I missed you too, Joey," Y/N used to call him that, well, really she was the only one who could call him that. He lifted her up and spun her around, "Those were the longest eleven years of my life."
"Why haven't we seen each other at all?" Joe pulled apart from the girl and put his hands on her shoulders.
"Yeah, why?" She repeated his question, "So, you're in a band now?"
"Yeah, Def Leppard! Do you wanna meet the boys?" He questioned.
"Of course, I'd love to!" The singer nodded and brought the girl over to the boys.
"Boys, this is Y/N. She has been my best friend since kindergarten." The girl waved to the band and the boys waved back.
"Y/N, that is Rick Savage, we call him Sav, he is the bassist. Then, Steve Clark, he plays guitar. That is Pete Willis, he also plays guitar. Then, last is Rick Allen, he's our drummer." Joe pointed to everyone of the boys and they all gave sweet smiles to the girl, she smiled back.
"Boys, I need to ask you something."" Tahlia stepped into the conversation.
"Yeah?" Joe was quick to respond.
"Could Y/N join you boys on tour? She refuses to leave the house, this is the first time in a while that she decided to go to a public place." Tahlia cared about the girl and she wanted to make sure she was living her life to the fullest.
"Of course! We'd love to have her come with us!" The singer smiled. The dancer couldn't contain her excitement. So, she began to hug the boy again.
"Finally, finally," She exclaimed quietly, and slowly, tears began to trail down her cheeks. Lia smiled at the scene, she was happy that Y/N finally saw her best friend after eleve whole years.
"Why don't you boys come by our apartment so we can get Y/N's things?"
"Sure," Sav said. The group of seven walked out to Lia's car and got in. (In this case 7 people can fit in the car). The group got in and drove about 20 minutes to get to the apartment.
When Joe exited the car, he took a moment to look at the dance studio, "I remember this place..."
"You remember how I used to bring you here?" The dancer whispered beside him.
"How could I forget?" He turned to her with a smile and she gave him a grin, then the group walked inside. As they made it into the apartment, Y/N and the boys went into her bedroom.
"So, You and Joe were best friends?" Steve asked as he looked around the room at all of the pictures.
"Yeah," Both Y/N and the singer responded.
"Then, why haven't you seen each other in over 10 years?" Sav questioned.
"I honestly don't know. All I know is that it has been way too long." Joe responded and Y/N agreed.
"I remember this one time where...." Y/N started.
The 6 year old Y/N and Joe ran along the streets of Sheffield to get to the girls dance studio, South Sheffield Dance Studio.
"Are we close?" Joe whined as Y/N pulled him by the hand.
"Yes, Joey." Joe pouted again, mostly at the nickname, but also because they hadn't made it there yet.
When they got there, the little girl reached up to open the door and they walked in. The room was small and there were maybe one or two other girls in the room. There were around six trophies on the shelf next to the registration counter, two of which Y/N won at a competition. Behind the counter was Hailey, one of the five dance instructors that taught at this school.
"Welcome to my dance studio," The girl giggled and took off her shoes to put them in one of the cubbies on the opposite wall of the registration ccounter, "Lets go to this room." the dancer pointed to a pearly white door next to the cubbies.
The room was dark, it was only lit up by the fairy lights hanging on the walls. Lia used to say that it was for aesthetics, but Y/N liked it and to this day, it still is this way and it's the girl's favorite room.
Y/N stood in front of the mirror, she didn't know whether to dance or just talk to Joe.
"Dance for me, Y/N..." He whispered. She turned to him, feeling the nervousness rush to her cheeks.
"I'm not that good." She whispered.
"You will always be amazing in my eyes, please dance for me," He whispered and she blushed, then she got up to dance. She was a bit nervous at first, especially because this is the first time he'd ever seen her dance. She'd twist and turn and go on her tiptoes, but the smile never left her face. The boy watched her with stars in his eyes. He always thought she would be amazing, and he was right.
When she stopped dancing, she looked at the boy that was sitting down. She then smiled and sat next to him.
"Has anyone ever told you that you are amazing?"
"Well, no, not really." She looked down at her lap and Joe put one of his hands on top of hers.
"I think you're wonderful!"
"Thanks!"
"Hey, look at me!" Joe exclaimed and he started dancing, kind of badly. Y/N watched him with a smile on her face, then she decided to join him. They danced like this for a good five minutes, and without even realizing, they began sort of slow dancing.
"....And that was one of many times...." Joe finished speaking and looked at Y/N. She looked back at him, taking in the fact that he remembered these times so well.
"Well anyway, can you lot help me pack my things?" the dancer asked the boys, who all seemed to be falling asleep.
"Sure, love," Rick smiled. The dancer told the boys where most of her things were and they grabbed her things. Then, after they finished packing, Lia drove them back to the venue.
"Alright, loves, have fun!" Lia exclaimed as the group exited the car.
"Bye Lia!" Y/N smiled and waved. Then, the 6 climbed into the tour bus. The group put their stuff down and relaxed.
"Well, Y/N, prepare to have some fun!" Joe exclaimed and began to tickle her. She squealed, "Joey!!!"
The night ended with the group falling asleep in the back of the bus, sort of on top of each other. Y/N was excited for what the rest of this tour held in store for her and the band.
