It was amazing honestly. I knew more lyrics than I thought I would learn. The screams were deafening. But it was indeed and amazing experience. I also learned that Deme had a thing for rock music. It made me smile that he wasn't like all the boys I knew.

They all looked so different. So confident. Mikey and Luke looked like best friends again. The sad part was they didn't see me.

Or so I thought.

They went on their break in between the show and I slipped out my phone receiving a text immediately from an unknown number.

I saw you. Meet us outside in the parking lot after the show
tell the guards your name and show them this text and wait by the fence. We'll come pick you up.

My breath caught in my throat. What? I shakily texted back a reply but my text did not send. I slipped my phone back in my pocket after showing it to Deme and soon the show was on again.

Now that, was when Calum caught my eye since we were on Calum's side. He fixed his eyes on me as if he were trying to remember. I'm sure I looked familiar to him. A small confused smile spread on his face then disappeared in seconds as soon as Luke walked towards him and whispered something in his ear making him crack a smile.

"How are we all doing tonight?!" It was Michael's turn to speak later on and the crowd erupted into screams. Michael grinned. "I said, how are we all doing?"

"I think they heard you Mike." Ashton spoke from behind his drum kit. The crowd laughed even though we all know it wasn't even that funny.

"Shutup Ash, I'm talking." Mikey turned around and Ashton rolled his eyes playfully. I watched him as his eyes glowed staring out at the crowd.

"Alright, we're gonna slow down here and keep it a little mellow. I know you guys are gonna like this one."

The crowd cheered.

"This next song," he paused then smiled widely, "is called San Francisco."

I couldn't help but grin as I watched him pick up and acoustic guitar then sit down onstage. Ashton stepped off his drums and Luke and Cal slipped their guitars off sitting down next to Michael.

"I can still taste you...like it was yesterday."

I knew this song. This was one of the songs that stood out a little and gave me a happy feeling. I sang along to thw few words I knew and decided to turn my camera on. I had a sort of attachment to this song. There was no reason behind it, I just loved it.

"Without you, the smell of your perfume, reminds me of when we were free. I swear that it's still haunting me."

Very soon the show ended and I was left with what everyone called, PCD. Post concert depression. I didn't know what it felt like but I knew right away that now I did. I followed Deme silently to the car almost sadly then stopped as my phone buzzed in my pockets. I froze.

The text.

"Deme!" I called and he spun around.

"I don't think our night has ended just yet."

··········

Surprisingly, we were let in immediately. I had received a second text guiding us where to go to meet the guards. Now, we were following two men who seemed more tired than me on school mornings.

Before I knew it, we were stood in front of a dressing room. The voices of boys were heard and I assumed they were probably eating. The guards walked away and I looked at Deme hesitantly.

"Go ahead, knock." he nudged me. I brought my hand up and slowly knocked feeling like an idiot. I flattened my outfit and raked my fingers through my hair. I hope I didn't look too messy even though I knew the boys were probably sweating worse than Demetrius.

The door opened revealing Ashton as he grinned. Demetrius was stood in front of me.

"DEME." Ashton yelled throwing his arms around him as he slapped his back in a friendly way. Deme laughed.

"Ashton!" he yelled in repsonse. He stepped inside and Ashton glanced at me. He smiled and invited me for a hug.

"It's good to see you again Daff." Ashton grinned and I hugged him back tighter.

"I can't believe you made it." I barely mustered up the words as Ashton laughed.

"I can't believe it either sometimes honestly. Come inside." He let me in and I was greetes by Luke. Luke was smiling shyly down at me.

"Hey." he chuckled walking over. He gave me a side hug. "It's been so long."

"You've gotten taller wow." I laughed standing on my tiptoes. Luke rolled his eyes chuckling.

"Yeah." The past is the past right? Sometimes we should just forgive and forget.

Calum approached me. "I knew there was something familiar about you!" Calum grinned. "Come here!" I laughed. It was obvious Calum had been the most welcoming. "It's been so long!" he smiled widely.

"I know! Wow I...you guys are so different and so big now I'm lost for words." I laughed. I eyed them all then my gaze finally fell on Michael. I approached him as the three boys began to make small talk with Demetrius.

"Hey." we simultaneously murmured and I broke out into a small smile.

"It's been...long." I whispered awkwardly.

"Yeah..." Michael whispered back.

"So...you guys really made it." I mumbled. Michael set his plate of food down then slowly wrapped his arms around me silently. I hugged back quite surprised. I missed him. I didn't realize it until I saw that smile again. It was this feeling of nostalgia that washed over me. As if I was reminded of the faded memories again. I hated myself for what I did to the boy who is hugging me at the moment but slowly I let go. I still liked Michael though. And man did I wish he still didn't hate me. After a moment he let go of me and smiled.

"Start over?"
