That Girl And The Lost Boy

Chapter 1: The Day They Met: Hit and Run

High school was finally over, Lilly was an adult now that she was eighteen...Although Emery, for a few more months, was still seventeen. The two girls, best friends since third grade, had the grades to go to a good college. Lilly was smart although she often got in trouble, while Emery was smart and an all around good girl who had an amazing college resume. The girls however ditched the college life and decided to live a little and start up a production company on a whim. They'd  moved into a Los Angeles apartment and were living their life the way they always wanted to..well sort of. The band All Time Low was in town and Lilly insisted that Emery should go with her and that they were good musicians, not to mention how cute they all were. The show was set in a smaller venue, an all ages club that didn't card on drinks. Lilly and Emery were getting ready and chatting.

"Maybe you'll meet a guy." Lilly said  as she curled her hair.

Emery rolled her eyes, "Or maybe one of the band guys will want to take ride on you."

Emery groaned, "Gross, Lil."

She laughed as she said," Hey you need to get over the whole Hunter Hayes pretty country boy crush that you've had since you were just a flat chested little fangirl."

Emery walked in to do her mascara in the mirror as she stood beside her, "You were flat chested longer than I was."

Lilly smiled and turned off the curling iron, putting her hands on her chest "Yeah, and? Now we're two grown up sexy ass fangirls.",She smirked and Emery rolled her eyes.

They walked out of the apartment all dressed up and looking great. Emery stood in a cute pair of sandals, a circle skirt and a cute tucked in tank top with a witty phrase across the chest, her hair straightened and looking cute with pink tips, her make up light and cute. She looked like a normal girl trying to look cute for a concert. Lilly on the other hand had her reddish brown hair down in soft waves, her eyeliner and mascara done, her nose ring complimenting her outfit of a fit white faded tank top with the union jack on it, a pair of  tight fitting black skinny jeans with ripped knees that made her butt look great, a pair of black heeled ankle boots complete with studs. They got a cab because everyone knew Lilly would be drinking tonight.

The Venue was a good size, filled with people Emery smiled and was about to say something when Lilly grinned and said "Hold that thought I'm going to try and get a drink." Emery groaned and Lilly rolled her eyes. Traffic was rough that night so they had gotten there just in time. The band was talking about who they were before they jumped into the first song on their set-list. They were pretty decent, emery was actually enjoying the music as she wandered closer to the stage to listen as she waited for Lilly to come back. Smirking Lilly came back and handed Emery a shot, she downed her shot immediately and handed off the shot glass to a random passerby as she sipped the beer in her other hand as she grinned. Emily rolled her eyes and nodded along to the music. Lilly was drinking her beer and moving her hips to the beat as she drank. Three or so songs later and Lilly was on her fourth beer and Em was still sipping her first. The band was playing something and Lilly was smiling and laughing as she danced by herself and sipped her beer in a small clearing in the crowd. This made her very noticeable. She was gorgeous, she looked happy, she was just the right amount of drunk to where she was fun but not out of control, She looked like those photographs you take of a beautiful person who isn't looking or aware you're taking it and they just look so happy and blissful and just glowing. Lilly was enjoying herself. And that's when the guys who started talking between the songs went silent as Jack mumbled "Wow." into the microphone which made Alex look to see what Jack was in awe about. He saw it too and he couldn't help but stare for a minute at the girl dancing and sipping her beer blissfully in the crowd. Alex couldn't help but grin, he could not take his eyes off of her.
