Meet Me at The Gates (blessthefall fanfic)

Chapter 2

Sara's POV

In a way, I guess you could call me a hypocrite. I don't particularly enjoy rock music (mostly because of the screaming stuff) but, I dress contrary to that thought. I mean, I used to have very dark brown hair which I died Jet black and got extensions which I dip-dyed blue.My bangs go completely across my forehead in a "swoop". My makeup is always really dark. Oh, and my clothes... I only own black skinny jeans or black shorts always paired with Vans and a ripped tee-shirt or tank. I am the poster girl for "scene".

I got ready for the concert tonight. I straightened my shoulder length hair and used hairspray to make it look..."sharp" I guess (?). I decided against the extensions because I knew it was gonna get HOT! I choose a pair of black shorts and a black ripped tank that said "Stay Real"on it from Anthem Made. I had Cami do my makeup (she is WAY better than me. Idk how I function when I do my own makeup :) and after we where ready to go we started to head out.

~6 pm~

We arrived at the venue to find the crowd was super long.

"You got the tickets right?"

"Yeah and because Andy knows how much I love them, He bought me tickets for a meet and greet with them after :)"

"Oh my god Cami! Are these the tickets Andy got you for your 1yr anniversary? I'm going in your anniversary date with you instead of him being here?"

"Yeah, he told me I should have fun with you instead. He didn't want me missing the concert just because he wasn't gonna be here."

"Ohhh, I'm sorry girly. Well, I will help you have the awesome at most fun anniversary date ever! Hehe"

~Almost 9pm~

"Those opening bands where okay. But when is the main band coming out??" I said. I was already hot and sweaty and we had only made it past the opening bands. We were almost front center stage. But there was this really annoying couple right in front of us who where hugging the whole time and the guy kinda used his girlfriend to push other people out of his way.

"They come on stage at 9." Said one of the random sluts behind us. Her and her little group of friends weren't wearing shirts, neither the girls nor the guys. The girls only had bikini tops and really short skirts and the guys had jeans and no shirts.

I have her a glare that said like, " was I talking to you?" And as I turned back towards the stage as the lights go dark. Then stage lights start flashing different colours everywhere. I barely saw the drummer come on stage but all of the sudden I heard the opening drum beat to a song I kinda knew. Cami had spent all afternoon forcing me to learn every word to all of there songs. I had decided on my two favourites and the first song was one of them. I think it was called "Hey baby, here's that song you wanted."

I sang along to most of the lyrics but I mainly focused on just jumping around and slam dancing in mosh pits. I snuck a peek at Cami's face a couple times during that opening song. She was so ecstatic. She was almost literally just radiating energy and happiness.

They played a few more songs that I didn't know that well. And I thought I caught the lead singer making eye contact with me a couple times. I was probably just making it up. I mean with all those lights how could they seen any of us? In between the normal interaction with the audience they played songs that I barley recognised. They played a song that I think was called "witness". I danced a little to that song and tried to remember the words. At the end of that song the lead singer, which up to this point had been roaming around the stage and seemed like he was trying to make the guitarist uncomfortable by touching him and stuff, started talking to the audience.

"How you doing tonight??"

"Ahhhhhh, I love you OMG Ahhhhhh" everyone in the audience seemed to reply with something like that after everything he said.

"I'm gonna try something fun tonight if my band will let me." He looked at the guitar player he had been hugging up on and basically teasing him the whole night, this was the blonde one. The other guitar player, the ginger, finally spoke.

"I don't know beau...I don't think they could handle us up here" He said teasingly.

"We'll too bad! I'm gonna bring up one if you fans to sing with us on stage!"

The crowd went hysterical.

"Pick me! Pick me!" Screamed every girl in the place. I looked over at Cami. She wasn't screaming but she was jumping up and down like a little kid.

"Okay everybody calm down!"

Haha, like that would actually help anything. I thought and my familiar smirk appeared on my face.

" How about you?" I swear he pointed a finger right at me.

"The girl with the black hair and black tank right here in center."

Uh oh.

"Come on make your way to the stage!"

I couldn't think, but then I felt like I had to ask if Cami can come.

" Can my best friend come up too?" I yelled at the stage. It was surprisingly quiet in there after he chose me.

"Sure!"

I grabbed In shock Cami by the wrist and we pushed our way threw the crowd and eventually made it up on stage. I only let go when we were up there in front of everybody.

"Hey girl." He winked right at me. "What's you and your friends names?"

I had to answer for both of us because Cami was frozen in shock.

"Hey back." I said with my same confident charisma that I had talking to any other cute guy I had met tonight. I wasn't starstruck because I didn't know who these guys where.

" I'm Sara and this is Cami."

Cami finally found her voice, kinda.

"Hhh-hi Beau."

"Hey." And he gives her a what's up head nod, And then he turns back to me.

"So, Sara. What do you want to sing along to?"

I panicked for a minute. I only really knew the lyrics to one full Song by them. Thank god it was one they hadn't played yet.

"Stay still."

"Okay then. Eric, Elliot?" He simply looks at them an they have a mental agreement. The ginger starts playing the opening guitar part.

Beau (i think thats his name) sings the first verse and I decide to join him in the Chorus.

"If I could pull you from the wreckage." Beau slightly overlaps with the line "We'd be just fi-ine."

Cami went to the ginger guitar player and actually conned him into giving her his guitar. She played the lead guitar part, the ginger sang back up into the mic with her and Beau and I sang lead.

Towards the last verse I look up at Beau and our eyes lock. Chills went up my spine and my blood started to warm up. I found myself, falling in love.
