Another Night In Paradise

Don't You Ever Forget About Me

Me and Jess have front row seats. Usually we get in the middle where all the mosh pits happen, but I guess we just got lucky today. The crowd smells like smoke, and body odor. 

Reaching the front we stand as the band continues to warm up.

There he is. His eyes meet mine and for a split second I couldn't hear any of the screaming fans. I look away trying to be cool about it.  I can feel my face get red as he continues to tune his bass and glance at me every so often. 

"Well, well, well. Someone has got their eyes on you Bre" Jess said provokingly

"Yeah. Like I would even have a chance with him. He's to famous to notice a girl like me."

"I wouldn't be to sur.." She was cut off by the sound of Kellin beggining the set.

1st song: If I'm james dean, then you're audrey hepburn

2nd song: Iris

3rd song: If you can't hang

4th song: Let love bleed red

5th song: Fire

Last song: Don't fall asleep at the helm

After the end of the last song everyone was screaming and some people were crying. This band must have meant to them what they meant to me. 

Glancing at my wrist I hide my scars before we head backstage for the signing. Even though I am 19 I still hate for people to see my scars. No matter who they are.

Jess grabs my arm and pulls me to the line. Justins eyes light up when he sees me but he tries to hide them from the guys.

"H..Hey" He stutters. 

"..Hi" I manage to spit out

"I seen you in the crowd..It's like you stood out from all the other fans. Can I sign anything for you?"

"Yeah can you sign this?" I hand him my first SWS shirt that my mom bought me for my 15 birthday.

"I see you've been a fan for awhile."

"I guess you could say that"

I look over my shoulder and see Jesse talking to Gabe and there talking about me I can tell because they always look over their shoulders. Plus they were being really loud and I heard my name mentioned several times. 

"What's your name?"

"I'm uhm..,Aubreah.."

"Someones a shy little girl" He says playfully. "Do you have a number so we can continue this conversation later?" I nod and exchange numbers with him. Smooth Bre..Just keep playing it out nice like this and you will do fine. When I hand him his phone back he sees under my sleeve at the scars and healing cuts. He looks up at me with big eyes. 

He slides my sleeve back down and pulls me into a big tight bear hug. I hug him back trying my best not to break down in front of him.

"I'll call you later" He tries to push past what he just saw.

"You do that" I entice with a smile.

I find Jess and we go back to her place and relax.

"I told you that you might have a chance with the big rock star" 

"Hey now. Don't get to frisky with Gabe." I warn teasingly

"Gabe was just telling me about how Justin kept looking at you through the whole concert."

"I know. I could feel his eyes on me"

We fall asleep watching the little mermaid.

I can;t stop thinking about him...

Not even in my dreams.
