"Are You Going to Age with Grace?" A Dan Smith Fanfic

Chapter 2

*Two weeks later*

It's the evening before the concert and Grace can't wait. During the past two weeks of anxiously waiting to see the band she has listened to so much, Grace has been going to work and attending uni. She is still undecided at what she wants to do with her life so she is just going for a basic degree. But that's better than nothing right? Of course she does work a bit with music...basically just playing piano, singing and writing songs that in her eyes are crap when they really aren't. Emily always tells her that one day she will go far with her music but Grace doesn't think that will happen.

Grace just got done working a shift with Karl who had yet again tried flirting with her. She gets in her car and heads home. She is drained from the long day she had. She had classes that morning and then work so the only thing that was keeping her going was the idea of the concert tomorrow. She arrives home. She decides to mess around on her piano a bit and by the time she is done it is 11 o'clock. She heads to bed now so that she doesn't look completely dead tomorrow for the concert. She puts her headphones in, buries her head in the pillows and drifts off to sleep.

The next morning Grace wakes up and isn't quite ready to get out of bed, like always, but suddenly she remembers. The day has come. The day of the Bastille concert!! They are her favorite band to ever exist so of course she is super fucking excited. She decides to call Emily. She dials her number and waits impatiently for an answer.

Emily finally picks up the phone. "Em, get your ass out of bed and come over. It's the concert day!!!!" She yells excitedly into the phone.
"No shit" Emily says in a tired voice. Emily isn't as excited, she's not as much of a hardcore Bastille fan as Grace is but she did like Kyle. "I'll be over in like an hour. Byeeeeeeeee Gracieeee!" She hangs up the phone and Grace knows damn well that Emily's "hour" will be more like 3 hours. It's 8 now so she'll most likely be over at like 11. She's always late. Typical Emily. She thinks as she gets up and heads to the shower.

In the shower Grace is singing Bastille songs...of course. She thinks about how long she has waited for this day. She has always loved Bastille but never has had the chance to see them live before because they never come this close to her area. She thinks about how amazing they are going to be and how fast her heart will be beating when they come out on stage... Especially when she sees Dan.

She gets out of the shower and goes to her closet and gets out the outfit she had bought for the day. She had gotten maroon colored jeans, and a grey tank top with a black leather jacket. After examining her outfit in the mirror about a thousand times, she starts on her makeup. Grace did her normal makeup routine until she got to her lips. Normally she would just wear a light shade of pink that was barely even noticeable, but today something was telling her to go with her deep maroon colored lipstick. She doesn't use it often because she barely has anything to wear that would make it look decent, but today it would match her outfit perfectly.

Grace just finishes getting ready when she hears a knock on the door and then it opens and shuts. Emily always knocks and then let's herself in. Grace looks at the time and it is 10:52. Almost 11, like I predicted. "Grace?"
"In my room!" Emily comes in wearing a floral romper with a cardigan and her favorite floppy hat is on. She stops when she sees her best friend. "Well who are you trying to impress... 'cause dang girl you are looking on point today."

Grace laughs at Emily's way of a compliment. "Oh, you know just Dan Smith...the sexiest man alive!" Emily rolls her eyes "No way, haven't you seen Kyle, he's the sexy one. But I mean if Daniel fits your fancy. Well then maybe just maybe he will notice you." "Oh please Em, I'll be just another fan in the crowd." His eyes won't even skim over me. "You never know Grace!"

Grace walks out of her room and heads to the door. She slips on her black vans and grabs her purse as Emily pulls on her brown combat boots. "I'm driving" Grace states as the two are walking down the stairs of her flat. "Good 'cause I didn't feel like it anyways." Emily says as she sticks her tongue out at Grace and climbs into the passenger side of the car.

They jam out to all kinds of music on the way to the venue which is about 2 and a half hours away from Grace's flat. After finding a parking spot they decide to go to a nearby restaurant, that is in walking distance, to get a bite to eat since they have time before the concert begins. After eating, it is close enough to concert time that they will be allowed to enter the venue. 

So, they walk there and head to the gates where people are entering at. They hand the worker their tickets and head inside. As soon as they walk in they see this massive stage, which is totally amazing. They see "BΔSTILLE" up at the back of the stage. The two girls head to their seats, which are on what will be Dan's left of the stage. They're seats are great, they  aren't front row seats or anything but they can still see the stage clearly and anybody who will be on it. This means if they wanted to, the band could see Grace and Emily clearly.

It's almost concert time and Grace feels her heart drop as she sees the countdown of the minute come onto the two gigantic screens on each side of the stage. She looks at Emily and Emily looks back at her.  "Anything can happen" she says for the second time that day and winks at her friend. "Pshh, yeah sure." Grace mumbles back sarcastically. They are interrupted by people counting down the last 10 seconds.

Thanks for reading! I hope you are having a wonderful day/night wherever you are and doing whatever you may be doing at this very moment❣
