"I'm almost eighteen, dad! I don't need a chaperone to a concert!" I yelled. Another argument with my dad.
"I know, but that's still young! I don't want you getting raped!" He yelled. I took a deep breath.
"I can take care of myself! And Caitlin is almost nineteen! And plus, there will be thousands of girls there!" I yelled. My dad sighed. I took a deep breath.
"I'm not a little girl, dad. In a couple weeks, I'm going to graduate high school." I said quietly. He looked down at his shoes.
"Okay. You can go." He said. I squealed and hugged him.
"But I want a call for everything. When you get there. When you leave. Everything. And I don't mind if you spend the night with Caitlin, but I want a call." He said. I nodded.
"Okay go get ready." He said pointing towards my room. I ran to my room.
"Thank you!" I yelled. I heard a faint chuckle and I threw the door open on my room. I slipped on the clothes I got. I put on my 5sos beanie and all my bracelets to cover up my scars. They were from when I was twelve. I stopped when I was thirteen, though. I looked in the mirror and took a good look at myself. I grabbed my phone and put it in my back pocket. Then I also put some money in there and a piece of gum.

I grabbed my overnight bag and walked out into the living room. My dad saw me and stood up.
"Bye Dad. Thanks for letting me go." I said. I gave him a hug.
"Of course, drive safe." He said. I nodded and walked out the door and walked down the sidewalk.

I was walking to Tess's house because we lived close. Then, Caitlin and Maykenzey would pick us up. They live exactly one street away. I knocked on the door and waited. I heard a glass shatter.
"Damn It!" I heard the familiar voice yell. Then she opened the door. Her 5sos beanie drooping to the left side.
"Hey." She exhaled. I giggled.
"Are you okay?" I asked. She nodded.
"Yeah, Scout knocked a glass off the table so, watch out for glass." She said. She walked inside and I followed her.
"Where's your mom?" I asked.
"Work." She said from inside the kitchen. I nodded and looked at the dog panting at my feet. It's tongue was hanging out and it looked at me with its fluffy face.
"Hi Scout." I cooed petting the old dog. He yipped and walked away. Then I heard a honk outside.
"They're here!" I yelled over the sound of the vacuum.
"Okay!" She yelled back. I jogged to her room and grabbed the overnight bag near her door. Then I walked out and she was perfecting herself in the bathroom mirror. She fixed her 5sos tank top that flowed. She fixed the beanie on her head and fixed her shorts.
"Alright, let's go." She said grabbing her overnight bag from me. We ran out to the tan convertible slug bug.
"Come on Stinky Butts! We have a concert to get too!" Maykenzey yelled. I giggled and we jumped in the back seats. We turned up Good Girls on the radio and left.

After hundreds of songs later, we made it. We handed in our tickets and walked inside the ginormous room. Hundreds of girls were talking and squealing. We walked to our seats and sat down. Then we heard through the speakers.
"Hey guys! Hope you liked that song! The next song will be playing is a cover of Blank Space by Taylor Swift!" Everyone screamed. They played a song, I don't really like them, so I didn't pay attention. Soon the song was over.
"Alright who's ready for Five Seconds of Summer!?" Hey violet yelled. Everyone screamed. Then Hey Violet ran off the stage and we waited for twenty minutes.

Soon the countdown started and we were all screaming. 5sos came on stage and started playing End Up Here. Maykenzey screamed at the top of her lungs while jumping and Caitlin whipped her hair around. I squealed and Tess jumped up and down while yelling. Maykenzey grabbed my hand and started jumping and screaming with me. I started waving around and Luke looked at me. He looked at me with shock and then he smiled widely. He sang his part, but secretly looked at me. Tess squealed.
"This next song is about girls." Michael said. They started playing Good Girls.
"I swear she lives in that library, but if you ask her she'll say-" Luke sang.
"Luke Smells Like Poop!" Michael yelled. The entire crowd roared.

After a few more songs, they played Try Hard.
"She's right here in the front row." Luke sang and pointed in the front row, but his finger stopped at me. My heart literally exploded in my chest. I blushed like crazy, but didn't remove my eyes from his. He eventually had to look up, so he didn't draw attention to me. He glanced back at me every once in a while. I blushed like crazy every time.

Sadly, it ended. Tess was jumping around in her seat.
"Tess, calm the fuck down." I said.
"But I need to peeeee." She wined extending the 'e'. I giggled and shooed her off.
"But I don't want to go alone." She wined.
"Fine. I'll go with you." Maykenzey said.
"I need to pee too, so I'll come." Caitlin said.
"Are you sure you don't want to join our bathroom party?" Maykenzey asked jokingly. I giggled.
"No, I'll just wait right here." I said.
"Okay, you missn' out." Caitlin said.
"Nah, I'll manage." I said. They giggled and walked toward the bathroom.

I sat down and decided to go on my phone. I took a picture of the stage. And was going to put it on Instagram. I heard footsteps come toward me and a man in a black suit with Security written on it.
"Miss, we need you back stage." He said. I stood up.
"Uh, my friends are in the bathroom. I need them." I said.
"We can get them after we get you." He said. I nodded and walked with him.

I didn't exactly know where I was going, but we walked through a door and down a long hallway. He gave me the motion to stay here. And I nodded then he walked away. I sighed and crossed my arms. I was just standing in the middle of the room, waiting for some gut who dragged me back here. Wait... Nobody is around me. What if he was going to get a gun? Or a kidnapper that had hired him to kidnap me! I decided to go the opposite direction he went. I saw a door and opened it, only to run into someone.
"Oh, I'm sorry." I said backing up. I looked up to see Luke. Luke Hemmings.
