Coffee Stains - A novel based on The Fooo Conspiracy

28. The concert

"Our next artists are the ones you've all been waiting for. The one band that has won over the hearts of thousands of teenage girls. Give it up for The Fooo Conspiracy!!!!" The presenter lady of the whole festival says. I can barely hear what she says because the girls surrounding me are screaming like someone cut off their legs. But in a positive way. Of course. The girl right next to me is crying so hard, she struggles breathing. Harald the security guard has to come and pull her out. And their performance hasn't even begun yet! We've been here for about an hour and there have been several Swedish artists performing their songs. Like for instance: Zara Larsson, Måns Zermerlöw, Oscar Zia and a few more. I am really enjoying this musical festival and I can't wait to see ma boys! The time has finally arrived now. A video starts playing on the screen on the back of the stage. It shows the boys running through dark alleys and jumping off walls. Not together though but each seems to be on their way to getting here. And then a song starts playing. The crowd goes crazy. Smoke is rushing out of a smoke machine. When it vanishes, the profiles of four boys appear. The crowd goes even Wilder. My heart joins them. Although they don't face us, I recognize Oscar without hesitating. Then one of them starts singing and goosebumps are floating all over my body.

Just because I can't touch it
Doesn't mean I can't feel it yeah

Just because I can't see it
Doesn't mean its not in the air

I follow anywhere you're going,
Even if its no where

We will get there

Even if I can t hear it,
Sent mean its silent

I am ready now
And I'm waiting at the gate

Yeah I'm ready now
Sorry that you had to wait
Yeah you let it out
I wont give it up way
Youre making me say
out lout
That you are

Taking me high upon the solar
shooting me down to the stars in the sky
Picking me up in your Roller - coaster

I love the way it rides

Taking me high upon the solar
shooting me down to the stars in the sky
Picking me up in your Roller - coaster

I love the way it rides

When they all sing, I have started screaming along with the crowd. It's like a wave that just comes over me, takes me with it and I can't get off. The way they dance to the song makes my heart go even crazier. And then Oscar starts singing solo:

You're the twist in my riddle
You're the rush I've been looking for
You're the kick that I'm needing
You're the only one that I adore

I follow anywhere you're going
Even if ist nowhere
We will get there

I've been looking for a reason
And now that you gave it

I'm not sure but I think while he sings that he looks at me with gentle eyes more than once a minute. But surely he throws me a kiss with his hand. Of course the girls standing next to me go even crazier. The thing is: I'm not only exited and hyped about seeing the boys live, I'm also sexually turned on by Oscars smirks towards me. I can feel the parts between my legs pulsate and I just want to drag Oscar off the stage and into some dark, dirty boxroom. Ok enough with the dirty talk. Let's get on with the story:
Watching the boys do what they love doing, I'm reminded on the fact that I'm leaving tomorrow. How am I supposed to tell that to Oscar? He's gonna be so devastated. I think it's best to not tell him at all. It's the only thing I can do so we all get hurt the least. Maybe.. Maybe not. A plan starts forming inside my head. A plan that will break my heart and will leave Oscar to keep on living his popstar life. I don't see how I can possibly fit in there. I just want to be famous for eating lasagne or looking the best one, not for being Oscars girlfriend. I'm not saying that I don't want to be his girlfriend. I do... I just don't want to have to hide from the public... And so I make a decision. A decision that can not be changed.

The boys perform three songs. At the end they bow in sync and the crowd goes crazy again. More girls are getting pulled out because they loose consciousness but they don't seem to get less. Just as the boys are about to leave, the presenter lady comes up to the stage. "Stop right there boys! We're not done with you yet." She says and the boys turn around wondering what she wants. "Oscar we need to talk." She states and pulls him to her side as if they were best friends. "What's the matter? Oh is it because I wear my shirt the wrong way?" Oscar jokes and the crowd laughs. "No-no you look stunning! Right girls?" A cheer from where we are standing.
"Oscar we haven't seen your fiance anywhere today! Is she not here with you?" Now everyone is silent. Except for the girl standing behind me. "I hate Alicia. I bet she's just playing Oscar." She whispered to her friend and the statement makes me smile. "Well Alicia and I kinda broke up just this morning. In fact you're the first ones to hear about it." As Oscar let's out those news everyone stays quiet. "Oh really?! But you've just got engaged last week didn't you?" The lady asks again. "We did but that was the idea of our label... We never wanted to get married. Actually our relationship has been really difficult lately so we've decided to end it before we can't get out anymore..." Now some girls in the crowd start screaming again. "We hated her from the start!" Even comes from one direction.
"Oscar I love you! I'm proud of you!" I suddenly hear coming out of my mouth. I quickly throw my hand over my mouth. This was not part of my plan... but no one seems to suspect anything. Except for Oscar who smiles at me. I look around. A lot of other girls have started to scream 'I love you Oscar!' up to the stage as well. "So you're single again? Single and ready to mingle?" The presenter lady says. "Well not exactly... I think I just need a break from the ladies for now and concentrate on my music." His words are like a knife to my heart. Even though I know he has to say that. "You have VIP passes!" Another girl next to me suddenly says looking at the card hanging down my neck. "I do." Is all I say and her eyes become big. She looks like she is about 14 years old. The she looks at Lou and Ariana. "You're...." She doesn't get to finish the sentence because Lou has already put her one hand over the girls mouth to stop her from saying anything. "Be quiet." She shushes and the girl nods in agreement. Lou removes the hand again. "Can I get an autograph?" The girl whispers and I turn back to the stage leaving Lou with her fan. The boys have left and also Some girls are leaving now. Others seem to want to see the upcoming artists. Ariana and Lou draw my attention. They're waving to me to go. I nod and tell them to go ahead. "I'm right behind you!" I say and look at the girl from before. "Would you like to meet the boys?" I ask her and she nods quickly. I take off the VIP pass from my neck and hang it around hers. Her eyes become big like pizza plates and she starts babbling lots of thank yous in a row. I just smile gently and turn to go. I leave the fun park property and take a cab back to the loft.
