Chapter 2: More Than You Think

Getting out of the shower I put on my favorite dark wash shorty shorts with the little rips near the bottom. I match it with a spaghetti strap, white lace tank top, that is tight at the top, but then flows out at my rib age. I throw on my aqua blue converse low top sneakers along with it. I have about 9 pairs in all different colors, but I like these the most. I spray on my French vanilla perfume, grab my iPhone and jog downstairs. Deciding to curl my hair, the loose blonde spirals fall down ending at the middle of my back. I'm not one for wearing a lot of makeup, so I settle for my usual sparkly eye shadow, black mascara, and bubblegum pink lip gloss. I have naturally long eyelashes, but I love curling them also to make them extremely noticeable.

I grab the keys off the table and say goodbye to my parents. I refuse to get a job, therefore I can't afford to help pitch in to buy me my own car so I have to settle for borrowing my moms car. I had to beg my parents for about 2 months to let me drive to the concert on my own, but it was worth it because they finally caved and said yes. I start the engine and speed off to go pick up Holly.

Holly is one of my closest friends. She's unconventionally pretty with her small frame, tan skin, and golden eyes. We met back in 7th grade when my class took a 4 day field trip to Vermont. She doesn't go to my school since she lives in the next town over, but her mother is a teacher, and the swim couch at my school, so Holly spends a lot of time around my school and knows most of the kids. We had never met before, but were assigned as roommates on that trip and immediately had a good time. It took me a while to allow myself to let her in, but once I did we became great friends. She's funny and not shy at all. She doesn't do the best in school but hey, neither do I. We have fun together and that's all that matters.

I pull into Holly's driveway, and instead of being nice, and going up to her front door and getting her, I decide to be me. And by that, I mean I beep the horn 6 or 7 times and wait for her to get her ass outside. Im waiting for a solid two minutes before she finally appears in my passenger seat. Being the dramatic person I am, I choose to say

"Ohhhhh myyyy goddd Holly what the hell took you so long? I've been waiting for days!"

She replies by giving me a look that I knew all too well. I smile obnoxiously back at her, knowing that it means Hahahhaha shut up"

I start the engine once again and we begin our 2 hour drive to the crappy little club where the concert I've been dreaming about is being held.

For the first hour, we sit in a comfortable silence, as "Wherever you go" by A Rocket To The Moon blasts from the speakers. As we start to get caught up in the traffic, Holly turns the radio down. For a moment she doesn't say anything, then,

" He's leaving tonight"

I don't reply for a minute, and then I say, "yeah, trust me I know."

Shes looking down, playing with the ends of her light brown, thick natural curls. I can tell that she is trying to sound as casual as possible, not wanting to upset me with the topic.

"Are you going to miss him?" She says

My hands grip the steering wheel a little tighter, and then loosen up once I've taken a breath. Without ever taking my eyes off the traffic in front of us, I sigh

"Yes I'm going to miss him. I am going to miss him a lot. And I wish that I wouldn't and that I could just move on because he isn't worth it."  

But that's a lie. He IS worth it. And I don't want to move on. I want him to be with me. And I know that I can't force him to be with me if he doesn't want a relationship so it would only make sense to move on, but that's not what I want. Blinking back the tears that shouldn't be there, I mentally thank myself for remembering to wear sunglasses. If the tears are going to be there, I wanna keep them to myself.

"Hey, I know that things--"

I don't let her finish before I cut in. 

"And it's all just really stupid and pointless because its not like he's going to miss me. Or even think about me while he's gone. I would have be shocked if he had even said goodbye."

My voice is calm and monotone but I feel anything but. By this point Holly is realizing that this conversation is going no where good, so she mumbles  

"You mean more to him than you think, Nic." 

Before she turns the radio back up and we continue our drive.

After what seems like forever we find a place to park and head inside. The concert is general admission, so we made sure to get there really early to ensure a good spot. As we make our way into the small club, we are happy to see only about 30 people already there. Half of which, are at the bar upstairs. Exchanging giddy expressions, we all but bounce over to a perfect spot right in front of the stage. Now all we have to do is wait here for 4 hours. No problem, right?
