Will You Still Love Me? (MAHTW Sequel)

Chapter 6

Chapter 6:

It was about an hour before the guys' show started but I was still lying in bed at home. Honestly I didn't even want to go after what had happened earlier and my motivation to do anything was shot.

Angel had left about 30 minutes earlier, unhappy to be leaving alone, and I said I'd catch up with her later but the closer the time ticked the less I wanted to get up. So I checked social media for a while as time kept slipping by before I finally sighed and dropped my phone, staring up at the ceiling.

"This isn't solving anything..." I muttered out loud. "I'm just running from the problem again." As I realized this I managed to gain some motivation, sitting up in bed and noticing that I now had 20 minutes left. 'I need to stop this and finally start acting like an adult and fix this.' I thought, finally getting up and going to my closet. It was a 15 minute drive back to the bar so I already knew I'd be late but the opening bands gave me an extra cushion of time before they would go on.

I went to my closet and stripped out of my work cloths, picking out a simple, short, black dress and black panty hoes to match before going to the bathroom to get fixed up.

As I looked into the mirror I realized all my mascara had run off and was now pooling at the bottom of my eyes and making me look like a raccoon so I scrubbed off all my makeup and started from scratch. 20 minutes later I had it all perfect again and I began the long process of straightening my long mane of hair which took a lot longer than I thought it would and finally finished about and hour late.

I pulled up to the packed venue sometime later, no longer keeping track of the time. The parking lot was packed and at first I thought I wouldn't find a space but then I realized I was an idiot and had a full access pass so I just drove into the back lot where the band and employees parked and finally made it in.

The moment I walked through security and in the back door I instantly recognized their song OG Loko coursing through the venue. The crowd screamed along to every word and sounded like they were having so much fun, I could only imagine the huge mosh pit that was probably happening.

I made my way through all the back hallways, winded my way to the stage. When I finally made it I looked out and smiled, they were always incredible live and you could tell just how much they loved what they were doing.

Alan peaked side stage at Angel who stood a few feet ahead of me, right on the edge of the stage, and smiled at her. He glanced around and his eyes landed on me, registering the fact I was finally here and he grinned. I waved and gave him a friendly smile and he turned away going into a solo. As I continued to look around I noticed Austin wasn't on stage so I walked forward a little more and saw him standing at the barrier holding hands with some of the fans. Everyone was pushing forward to get closer or give him a high five or even just to touch him. I always enjoyed watching him with the fans because I knew how much he loved them and you could see he had such a big effect on their lives.

As the song ended he climbed back on stage. Alan walked forward and whispered in his ear causing him to suddenly turn and look over my way. He placed the mic back in its stand and jogged to side stage where we were standing. I was confused about what he was doing when he suddenly threw his arms around me, lifting me up as he hugged me tightly to him.

"I thought you weren't going to come." He murmured, in my ear. I closed by eyes and laid my head on his chest, wrapping my arms around him.

"I thought you hated me..." I whispered back.

"Never." he promised. "I'm sorry about what I said, I should have trusted you."

"Anyone would have assumed the same, what reasons have I given you to trust me?" I said softly, he looked down into my eyes trying to find a response. "Can we do this later, I think you might just be in the middle of something." I pointed out. He nodded and laughed.
