Meeting 5SOS

Chapter 2

I wake up in pure agony down below. I honestly thought that I'd be better just in time for the concert. I think not. But nothing's stopping me from going  to that concert. I limp my way to the showers and wash all over my body, I step out and dress into my black skinny jeans, my black nirvana tank top and tie my blue flannel around the waste.

I then put on my black canvas sneekers. I leave my naturally wavy brunette hair out, I only apply miscara and eye liner. I then put on some perfume and deodorant.

I head down stairs knowing my dad will be out getting drunk. He doesn't get home until 6 every night so it was quite easy to sneak out until he gets back.

I decided to walk to the concert because it was only 10 minutes away and because I don't have a car. I finally arrive at the front and see a lot of fans there already. Some give me weird looks probably because I'm not looking happy. The truth is I'm miserable. I just ignored it because I put up with more shit at home and at school.

I take a deep breath and walk in the massive auditorium. I limp my way to where I'm supposed to be which is the 2nd row. Pretty good spot. I just wish my only friend who is also my best friend could come. But she is out of town until tomorrow which sucks.

All of a sudden I'm out of my daze when I hear a voice yell out. "New York are you ready to rock and roll?!"

The crowd goes wild while I'm just standing there. Waitng for them to show up. Eventually they do and my heart beats a little faster. I see Ashton smiling at me and I give him a small grin trying not to freak out.

They start playing really up beat songs and then they did an acoustic version of amnesia. Which makes me emotional. I collapse to the floor, curling up in a ball crying. Breathing heavily. I wish I was dead. I wish I never came to this fucken concert! I wish mum never left me! It's all because of her, dad hurts me.

I was interrupted by someone standing in front of me. I look up to see Ashton. Ashton fucking irwin standing in front of me! He has a concerned look on his face as he looks down on me. He kneels down on one knee as I start to cry Into my knees again.

He lifts my head up with his index fingers still not staying a word. He wipes away my tears causing me to blush. He smiles sympathetically pulling me into a hug as his now sitting next to me.

He whispers. "Shh... It's ok. It's ok. Whatever you're going through, you can get through it."

I start to cry silently as I whisper back. "No it won't get be...better. I've put up with this way too...too long...he'll hit me!"

He asks. "Who'll hit you? What's going on?"

"My...my dad. He's a drunk and hits me and I'm too scared to go back home!" I start to cry even more.

He holds be tighter and for a split second I felt safe. Secure. Wanted. I cry into his chest and we're just sitting here in absolute silence for several minutes.

Until he speaks up. "Hey how about you go on your with us? That way you don't have to put up with your dad doing this..."

I stopped sobbing for a few moments and looked at him straight in the eyes.

I ask. "Are...are you serious?"

He gives me his goofy smile before saying. "Yes I would love to help you! Anything for a fan!"

I let out a little laugh and say. "Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Ash!"

He chuckles. "No problem! Hey what's your name anyway?"

"Oh it's uh Lisa!"

"Well Lisa you are one beautiful girl." He smiles.

I look down and can feel my cheeks burning up. I change the subject by saying. "Thanks. Hey ash? Aren't you meant to be on stage now. Because you're uh sort of famous?"

He lets out a loud laugh and I look at him so confusingly. What was so funny?

Ashton replies trying to hold in his laughter. "The...the concert ended like half an hour ago!" He then starts laughing again.

I laugh nervously and feel totally embarrassed and stupid. "Oh whoops my bad..."

He soon calms down and stands up. He puts his hand down for me to reach and I gladly accept it.

I ask. "Where are we going?"

He simply replies. "Well to meet the rest of the band of course!"

I start to get nervous and he can sense me shaking a bit. He pulls me into a hug.

"Don't worry. They'll love you. They're really out going." He reassures.

Ok that calmed me down a bit. So I nod and he leads me the way. We step in a big room I'm guessing is the green room.

Ash clears his throat and they all look directly towards us.

Ash walks to the centre of the room with me slowly trailing behind him.

Ash pulls me in front of him and announces. "Hey guys! This is Lisa, she'll be going on your with us."

I shyly look down at my feet and feel like crying. I don't like being a centre of attention.

"Hey! I'm Michael." Michael says.

I look up and see them all smiling at me. So I give them a small grin before I look at Michael. I reply back. "I know who you are." And giggle at the end.

They all laugh and Michael scratches the back of his neck. "Oh yea. Right. My bad!"

We all laugh at his stupidity before Calum asks me. "So hope this doesn't sound rude or anything. But why are you going on tour with us?"

I stutter. "Uh... I... Well you see u-"

Ash cuts in and says. "Oh sorry I didn't tell you? Well I displayed a competition on who gets to go on your with us and yea well she won." What a great save.

I gave him a grateful smile and he returns it.

Luke says. "Well welcome Lisa it's nice to meet you!"

I nod and smile at him and ash says. "Ok well let's get going."
