Locked away Patrick Stump

Ch 4 Dance alone to the beat of your heart

Esters POV

"Hey Ester!" I turned to see Patrick.

"Hi." I said Standing.

"Sorry I was late." He said.

"Oh no it's fine, it gave me time to talk to fans and all."

"Ok cool. Well ready to go."

"Yeah." We started to walk down to Starbucks.

"So what's your favorite song by us?" Patrick asked.

"Well that's hard. There all so good."

"Name one from each album."

"Uh okay I'll go oldest to new. Patron start of liars and fakes, get busy living get busy dying, the take over the breaks over, west coast smoker, alone together, and favorite record." I said pausing every so often to think of which to say.

"Cool." He said opening the door. Oh wow we got here fast.

"You order first." He said.

I walked up to the counter. A girl was there with black hair. She looked up shocked.

"Oh my god you Ester Joseph and Patrick Stump." She said.

"One and only." I said laughing.

"If you don't mind after you guys are done may I have a picture?" She asked.

I looked to Patrick who nodded.

"Yeah totally." I said.

"Thank you. So what can u get for you?" I looked up to the board. The fall drinks are on here for another week so might as well.

"Pumpkin spice frapp." I said.

She wrote on the cup and I started to pull my wallet out.

I heard Patrick say something. When I looked up he was paying for the drinks.

"Dude you didn't have to do that." I said.

"Well to bad I wanted to. After all I was late. And your not paying me back." He said crossing his arms.

"Ugh Stump." I said walking away to the other side of the counter.

"Joseph." He said.

I heard someone mutter 'I ship it'.

We got our drinks and sat down.

"Okay how about we just fire questions at each other then we'll switch when we run out." I said.

"Okay."

"You first."

"Favorite color?"

"Purple."

"Favorite sport?"

"Hockey."

"Hockey team?"

"Monsters."

That then ok for a while then we switched. By the end of the day we knew a lot about each other. Okay well almost everything actually.

The only stuff we didn't know is each other's childhoods.

But we didn't go into that yet.

"Hey it's 3 we gotta be at sound check in a hour." He said.

"Oh ok." I said a little upset. Doing this.

Learning more made me like him more. I wanted to talk to him forever and look into his blue green eyes.

We walked away from the Starbucks after taking a picture with the girl that got our drinks.

"So after this we go to Kansas." Patrick said.

"Yeah I can't wait to play the crowds always amazing there." I said.

"Yeah but don't seeing all those people worry you."

"You think it would. But really no. Seeing all of them knowing they support me. It's awesome." I said.

"You're right there."

We're at the venue. Panic! at the disco this first up. Then Twenty One Pilots, us and last Fall Out Boy.

I'm really exited. I was just playing random things on my bass when I felt someone sit next to me.

I looked up. Oh Patrick!

"Hey!" I said too excited.

"Hey." He said with a little laugh.

"Nervous?" I asked.

"Yeah that's why I came to see you."

"why me?"

"Even though we've only known each other two days you just make me feel better."

"You do the same to me." I said gazing into his eyes. I felt a blush on my face. I started to pull the sleeves of the sweatshirt over my hands.

Something I do when I'm nervous.

Stop he doesn't like you. You've been staring too long.

Ugh shut up brain. Then I realized I really was staring too long.

"I uh I'm gonna uh. I've gotta check something." I said running out of the room. He can't know I like him.

As I walked out I ran into someone.

"Hey Est what's happening you look shook up." Josh said.

I pulled him into Twenty One Pilots dressing room.

"Okay well umm okay you have to promise you won't tell anyone." I said.

"I never told anyone about 10th grade have I." He said

"Okay so I umm. God okay I like Patrick!" I said.

"I knew it!" He said.

"Wait it's that obvious. No no it ca-"

"Est stop he likes you."

"No way." I said pacing and shaking my head.

"Don't believe well devise a plan."

"I'm listening."

"Okay when we get to Kansas we'll be in a hotel. I will be in your room. I'll call Pete and he'll be on speaker.

He'll asked Patrick about you and then we'll see if he likes you." Josh said.

Wow this could work.

"But then Petes gonna know."

"I know it doesn't seem like it but you can trust him."

"Ok. I'm in." I said.

"Great now let's get out there."

Patrick's POV.

What did I do. Was I about to kiss her.

Ugh I creeped her out.

No why am I so dumb.

"Dude what's up with Ester?" Pete asked coming over to me.

"It's a long story."

"And we're last to preform."

I told him about what had happened minutes ago.

"Well it's our last day here then we'll be in Kansas for a week. Trust me Patrick she likes you." Pete said.

"How." I said

"Every time your around she blushed.
Even just hearing your name voice or looking at you. Trust me"

"FORSAKEN DAWN TO STAGE!" I heard someone yell.

"Come on let's go watch her. I know you think it's hot when she plays bass. Just like you think when I play." Pete said.

"God no Pete."
