The Whole World With You

TOO

MARISSA

A strong wind blew past us before Monique could reach me. Everything went too fast and last I saw, Monique laid on the ground. I crouched down and reached out but felt a presence much faster than I was.

"Are you alright?" A guy spoke. Have I heard him before? He sounds so familiar. A rare fragrance hovered above Monique and I, sweet like cherries. My heart stopped. Did my heart stop? No, I think it's trying to get out of my chest. "St-"

"Ugh, yeah I think. I didn't know the wind could get indoors, and this strong too." Monique interrupted my thoughts. A soft laughter came out from his mouth. "You know, if my hand stays out like this for too long, I might get cramps in my arm. And I don't think that would be good if I'm gonna be dancing later on."

As if on cue, both my head and Monique's shot up. And then screams could be heard from across the hall.

No. Way.

Monique's shoulder brushed past mine, indicating that she took his hand. He then reached out to me. "Come on," he ushered me. I stood back up with his help. Everything went so fast.

"OH MY GOD! IT'S LAY!" A scream surprised me from the corner of the hall. And then I heard something cracked.

No. Way.

Those girls stepped on my bracelet! When I looked back, Monique held the same reaction. I walked away from my position to pick up the broken chains. "I have to go. Nice meeting you two," he smiled and walked off.

We didn't meet properly, though. All I did was get shocked at everything that happened. Yes, I had to admit it. If only I could punch these girls right here right now, I would so do it. But it would cause a fight and I don't want to make a scene.

"Which one of you stepped on the bracelet?" I felt a powerful aura from behind.

I just said I don't want to make a scene.

The girls looked towards Monique. One of them stepped out and made a face. I grabbed the broken pieces and Monique's hand. "Let's go."

"Oh dear, are you running away from a fight now?" The girl who stepped out had long blonde locks falling till her chest area.

"I don't wish to start another world war. Have a good day." I replied, eyeing her movements. "But-" Monique voiced out.

"I said good day, Monique." I interrupted, forcing hardness in my voice. She bowed her head to the girls and walked off.

There's still an hour left before the concert starts. I checked the tickets for our seating plan. We earned two seats on the east side.

"Here." I bought two hot dogs for us while we sit and relax in the corner before the concert starts. "Thanks."

It fell silent soon after. I can't complain really. It has always quiet when we eat, but this time, it's bothering me. And she didn't even take a bite!

I stopped eating to swallow the food in my mouth. "Are you alright?" I asked. She had her head down as if inspecting the food, thinking whether I had added poison in it.

"You don't feel bothered by it." She murmured, though enough for me to hear. "Bothered by what?" I have utterly no clue to what she's trying to say.

"They stepped on your bracelet. I should have picked it up when I had the chance." She spoke a little bit louder this time. So she still feels bothered by it.

"It's alright, Niq. You still have yours, don't you? I'm okay with that." I offered her assurance. "Yeah, but you don't have yours. I'm not okay with that." She fought back.

Shouldn't I be the upset one?

"It's okay, Niq. We can get a new one once we collect enough money." I hugged her from the side. "Yeah, but-"

"No buts," I interrupted once again. Well, I did get my revenge with all these interruptions. "Come on, let's eat. You could be hungry from all the screaming at the concert later on." I took another bite from my hot dog.

"No, you would." I heard her laugh softly to herself. Now that's more like it.

An hour passed by at lightning speed. We're now heading to our provided seats. I can't wait for the SMTOWN concert to start already. Only 5 minutes left before it officially starts. They showed the different videos on the big screen before a song started blasting in the hall. One by one, each artist walked onto the stage while singing a song together.

The view I'm seeing in front of me is so pretty.
