I had dreamed about this my whole life. The day i'd meet my favourite band. I mean I had already met quite a few of them but this is legit my favourite.

"Yeah." Zack said.

"I must be dreaming." (no pun intended) I pinched myself making sure this was real.

"Nope." Zack said. Chip looked confused so I helped him out.

"This is the bassist of All Time Low." I explained.

"Ohh." Chip said. "I'm Chip." He introduced himself.

"Hi Chip, i'm Zack." Zack but his hand out kindly and smiled. I feel like i'm in one of those fanfictions or something. Except Chip took me here, i'm not alone.

"You want to meet the rest of the band?" Zack offered.

"Are you serious?" He asked.

"Of course." I followed Zack and he took us to the dressing room that said 'All Time Low' in print but someone crossed it out and wrote 'dickheads.' I laughed to myself, at least I got a good laugh before I died.

"Hey Zack!" I heard a round of cheers from the gods seated in the same room as me.

"And friends!" Alex cheered. Zack introduced us to the band.

"Guys this is Chip. Chip this is Alex, Jack, and Rian. And guys this is..." I realized I hadn't given Zack my name.

"Oh, it Chloe." I finished for him.

"Chloe." Zack said.

"Hey Chip, hey Chloe." Alex greeted us and offered a seat on the sofa next to them.

"Hi Alex." I said dying inside.

"Where did you find 'em?" Jack asked.

"They were let backstage by the guards and I invited them back here." He explained.

"Oh well, wanna beer?" Jack offered us.

"Sure." I said in a chirpy tone. He handed me two beers from the fridge next to him and we hung out for a while.

"Do you mind if I take pictures during your set?" I asked. "I'll have to use my phone cause he brought me here as a surprise so I don't have my camera." I explained.

"Sure. But here." Rian turned around and gabbed a camera off of a storage box. "Use this, there's a brand new SD card in the back you can use that a keep it."

"Are you for real?" I asked.

"Most definitely. Have fun." He helped me set up the camera. "By the way, it was pretty nice of you to take her here." Rian said to Chip.

"Thanks." Chip said as I wrapped the strap of the camera around my neck. Rian walked out to the stage and that was my first picture. I got a bunch more throughout the set.

Except during Dear Maria, Count Me In. I only got a few for that because I jammed out so hard.

"What did you think?" Jack asked coming out all sweaty.

"That was amazing. Thank you so much Chip." I hugged Chip then returned my attention to the band.

"Thanks." Alex accepted the compliment. "You want to hang out more backstage before you go?"

"Yeah. I have no place to be. What about you Chip?" He shook his head so we stayed. I took the SD card out of the camera and put it in my wallet. "Thanks for the SD card." I thanked Rian.

"No problem. Just make sure I get those photos. I don't care how you send it." He laughed. I took a pen and paper out of my purse and wrote my number, twitter, instagram, and snapchat.

"I can send it on any of those but phone number may be easier because you can download." He took the paper and put it in his phone case.

"I'll be sure to add you on these." He smiled.

"Damn." Chip muttered.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Not much the boys just need us back for something." He answered.

"Oh." I looked back at the band. "You guys were amazing. Thank you so much." I hugged them all and thanked them individually.

"By the way here's this." Rian handed me a paper back with his number on it too. "You're going to need that to send the photos."
