So Will You Wait Me Out?

Noah, are you okay?

Noah's POV:

*Back in the bus, feeling a cold washcloth on my face, I suddenly jolt awake* What the hell happened? How the hell did I get back to the bus?

Folio: *I laugh as I give Noah a water from the fridge* Dude we found you in an alleyway, and the next thing we know, you passed out cold from anxiety

Nick: *Also chimes in* Yeah dude. You called me and asked if we could go save you because you were hiding from the psycho path. At first we thought you were being dramatic. Then we saw the state you were in, so we brought you back to the bus to keep you away from her.

Noah: *I drink the water that Folio gave me* I said it once and I will say it until the day I die. This is exactly why I don't have social media. It messes with my mental health and it attracts crazy girls who think I owe them my whole life story and more. *I take a deep breath and lay back down* How exactly am I supposed to play our show and do our meet and greet tonight when I have her *He cringes* to look forward to?

Jolly: I have something helpful to say.

Noah: *Laughs* This should be good, what is it, Jolly?

Jolly: *Rolls his eyes* Why don't we have security at the front doors and not let her in?

Folio: Sounds like a good plan. Okay guys it's 5pm. Our show starts at 8pm and doors open at 7pm. Why don't we go eat something before the show starts?

*Nick, Folio, Jolly and Noah make their way to a local pizza spot near the venue and sit to order*

Nick: What should we get guys? I was thinking of getting Meat Lovers. Anyone not down for that?

Jolly: I'm down!

Noah: Fuck yeah dude!

Folio: Dude yes! I'm starving!

*Fast forward 30 minutes. They get their pizza, wings and salad (per jolly's request)*

Noah: Guys, I'm so full I could use a fat ass nap. *I yawn, and check the time* GUYS IT'S 6PM WE HAVE TO GET TO THE VENUE NOW!

*Nick looks up with pizza in his mouth* Fuck we should get a box and go!

*We get a box and make a run for the venue and straight into the green room, only to be met with our stylist Jasmine, who does not look happy whatsoever*

Jasmine (stylist): You're late, it's 6:15. You guys are supposed to be on stage at 7, which only gives you 45 minutes to mentally prepare for your show and 15 minutes to prepare for your Meet and Greet.

Noah: *As I roll my eyes, Jasmine just gives me the death stare*

Jasmine: Listen here Davis, if you're not gonna take this meet and greet seriously then why are you here?

Noah: *I begin to smirk* I'm here because in case you forgot I'm the lead vocalist for this band. So without me, there's no show.

*Nick, Folio and jolly take a few steps back, knowing this wasn't going to end well*

Jasmine: Do you find this funny, Davis? Because I can find a replacement for you anytime if you aren't gonna take this seriously.

Noah: *I step up to jasmine, smirking* You know if you're in love with me, just say that baby. *Walks away to get hooked up and do soundcheck*

*Skip to show time*

Noah's POV:

Noah: I can hear the intro for Artificial Suicide playing *'Why do you care about these people? They don't care about you, none of them, they don't even know you, because you haven't shown them, everyday, you'll wake up and there will be less of you, you live your life with them and they don't even see you, you don't even see yourself*

*Nick goes out first playing guitar, then slowly jolly comes out playing his bass, Folio gets himself situated on his drum set before playing. that's when the show starts off with Artificial Suicide, so I walk out in my black ski mask* WHAT THE FUCK IS UP LOS ANGELES?!

*I stand and watch the crowd and take it all in before I start singing* CAN YOU HEAR ME THROUGH THE WHITE NOISE?!

*As I finish our first song, I rip off my ski mask letting my newly short hair fall in front of my face and see the crowd go wild over it*

*Time skip 3 hours later*

Noah: Are you guys ready for the last three songs? *I take a pause, then being to scream directly to the crowd*
Alright Motherfuckers, I wanna hear you for this one! *I scan the crowd, then I begin to scream* LOOK AT ME! LISTEN TO ME! WORSHIP ME MOTHER FUCKERS ITS TIME TO MEET GOD! *Dethrone starts to play and the crowd goes crazy*

*As I'm singing dethrone to the crowd I lock eyes with Violet, who seems more calm, just vibing to the music, and I feel something change in that moment, but I try to ignore it and keep singing*

*Just Pretend plays towards the end of the show* THANK YOU LOS ANGELES. WE WILL SEE YOU SOON!

*Everyone goes back to the bus to get some rest*

Jolly: Noah, I saw you looking at Violet tonight? Was it in a good way or a bad way?

Noah: *Bites my lip* Uhm I don't know what you're talking about Jolly. I was looking at the crowd, not just Violet.

*Few hours pass*

Folio: Alright fuckers do we want to go to a bar, or just order in food?

Nick: I'm down for the bar!

Jolly: Bar sounds good, what about you Noah?

Noah: *Looks up from my phone because I ended up texting the crazy girl* Huh? What? Yeah bar is good, which one?

*Nick, Folio and Jolly just look at Noah wondering who he's texting*

Nick: Dude, who are you texting? *Tries taking Noah's phone but he pulls back*

Noah: Nobody. Just Jasmine, to ask her about tomorrow's show. *I walk out of the bus and take a walk to clear my head*
