I was walking down the busy street. I was running late, like usual, and I was trying to get to the store because I ran out of shampoo and conditioner. I was supposed to get my shopping done yesterday but I didn't have time to perform. I got to the convenience store to pick up my stuff when I got a text from Joe saying,

Joe 🤠
Hey, where are you? We are leaving in 3 hours. You were supposed to be here early. Are you alright?

Barron 💋💌
Oh, sorry Joe, I needed to grab shampoo and conditioner. I ran out, so I ran to the convenience to get some. I will be there soon. Don't miss me too much 😘

Joe 🤠
Ha! You wish. But no, really, you had me worried. I'll see you soon.

He was worried about me? He can't worry about me. We aren't even like a thing. Oh, how I wish. I put my phone in my pocket and continued down the street. I arrived back at my apartment to retrieve my stuff and to head to the meet-up site. I quickly sent Joe a text saying I was leaving my apartment now.

I arrived at the site, and I went to my trunk of my car to gather my items. I picked up my last bag when I felt bags being grabbed from me. I whipped my head around to find Joe standing there waiting to grab my bags for me.

"What are you, my little own bellhop boy, or just a really nice prince charming?" I questioned.

"Hmm, maybe both, who knows, but I like the second one better." He grinned at me. I shook my head at him and handed him so bags. We started making our way to where everyone else was at. We entered the room at our first concert, starting in NYC, to make it easier.

Everyone turned their heads our way as we entered the room.

"Aw, the love birds are here. Finally, Joe was so worried about you." Nick cooed. As Nick said that Joe gave him a death glare, almost making it seem like he was telling Nick to shove off. I just blushed uncontrollably.

"Ah, sorry, u-uh, I just had to grab some stuff before starting the tour. It's  my fault, sorry." I spit out as I lowered my head. Joe raised my chin to look at him, saying,

"Hey. It's never your fault, ok? We still have three hours."

A loud silence flowed through the room as I just stood there staring into his cute hazel eyes. We were admiring each other until when a cough could be heard from Kevin.

"Uh guys, this is really sweet, but we gotta move if we are going to make it on time. Barron, let's get your mic check done." He said as he ushered me out of the room. As they cornered the door, all I could hear was Nick taunting Joe.

After mic check and show starting

I stood on the side of the stage, really anxious and nervous.  I started picking at my nails and making them really scratched up and raw. I felt a big hand clasp, one of mine. Not just some hand, Joes hand. I looked up at Joe and gave him a worried look.

"Hey, you got this, ok? You are a great singer and you can do anything you put your mind to. I just wanted to tell you that you are a special girl to me and I would really live to take you on a da-" He spoke until he got cut off by a stage crew member telling me to go on. I gave him a peck on his cheek and told him. "I'll see you after the show." I shouted at him as I was being ushered to the stage.

I stepped out on that stage with my guitar, and I prepared to sing.

《~•••~~~••••~~~•••••••~~~~~~~••••~~》

I was just about to sing the last song of my performance when I heard shouting from the crowd. I look out when I see a security guard pulling a woman away from her spot.

"HEY! what's happening over there. Leave her alone. Hey. Stop. Can we help her and get him to stop. Everyone should be  here for this." I exclaimed

I walked over back to my mic stand and started to say my closing speech.

"Alright, this is my last song. This has been a like a joyride for me, and I want to thank the boys for this chance to sing, and this is my last song,"

I strummded my guitar and started,
(Song by Olivia rodrigo)

I wore makeup when we dated
'Cause I thought you'd like me more
If I looked like the other prom queens
I know that you loved it before
Tried so hard to be everything that you liked
Just for you to say you're not the compliment type
And I knew how you took your coffee
And your favorite songs by heart
I read all of your self-help books
So you'd think that I was smart
Stupid, emotional, obsessive little me
I knew from the start that this is exactly how you'd leave
You found someone more exciting
The next second, you were gone
And you left me there cryin', wonderin' what I did wrong
And you always say I'm never satisfied
But I don't think that's true
'Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough for you
And all I ever wanted was to be enough for you
And maybe I'm just not as interesting
As the girls you had before
But God, you couldn't have cared less
About someone who loved you more
I'd say you broke my heart
But you broke much more than that
Now I don't want your sympathy
I just want myself back
Before you find someone more exciting
The next second, you were gone
And you left me there cryin', wonderin' what I did wrong
And you always say I'm never satisfied
But I don't think that's true
'Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough
Don't you think I loved you too much to be used and discarded?
Don't you think I loved you too much to think I deserve nothing?
But don't tell me you're sorry, boy
Feel sorry for yourself
'Cause someday I'll be everything to somebody else
And they'll think that I am so excited
And you'll be the one who's crying
Yeah, you always say I'm never satisfied
But I don't think that's true
You say I'm never satisfied
But that's not me, it's you
'Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough
But I don't think anything could ever be enough
For you, enough for you, oh-oh
No, nothing's enough for you

"Thank you, guys. Goodnight, love you, NYC!!!" I said as I blew kisses to the crowd.

The rest of the night was a blur. The boys performed. We headed back to the bus to sleep. Me and Joe agreed to talk tomorrow as we were too tired to talk right now. I swiftly made a B-line to my bunk to finally lay down and sleep.
