Not even half an hour later and Linkin was running on stage to continue with the amazing night. Starting off with Papercut, Chester and Mike rocked the vocals like normal. The crowd were going crazy, already hyped from Of Mice & Men. Songs passed by again and Nix and I were jamming side stage. I felt arms wrap around my waist and I look down at the tattoos, it was Alan. A clean, non sweaty Alan.
"Hey," he mumbles in my ear.
"Hey," I grin, leaning my head back a bit.
"Enjoying your night?" He asks.
"Fuck yeah," I reply, going back to singing along with the song that was playing.
Alan and I watch Linkin finish up Breaking The Habit, singing along.
Mike smiles before talking, "The next song goes out to someone here tonight. Our little Flame who is standing side stage with the ginger, her father gave his life for this country, serving in the middle east. She was only 6 when he passed Baby Austin, this is for you."
Mike looks at me and smiles before they start my favourite Linkin Park song, Castle of Glass. Alan starts to sway us slightly along with the music. I was singing along as the boys performed it. They performed the original version, not the remix. By the end I had tears slowly running down my cheeks. Austin, who was standing beside us, gently pulled me from Alan and into his arms. I cried into his shirt. I missed my father so much.
"It's okay my little flame," Austin comforts, stroking my hair.
Austin pulled away not long after though, having to go onstage to feature in their song Faint. I returned to Alan's arms though, watching the rest of the performance. I got some photos on my phone and snapchatted through the night. After the encore, the lights dimmed and the concert finished. By now it was nearly midnight and Nix and I were pretty tired. Everyone, Mice and Linkin, was in Mice's dressing room.
"Guys, we are going to head off, back to our hotel," Nix informs everyone.
The guys all shout in disagreement but we argued back, wanting to go back to our hotel. We laughed and hugged everyone. I saved Alan for last so when I reached him, I hugged him tightly. He hugged me and kissed my forehead.
"Bye everyone," Nix and I scream as we walk out the door, heading back to the hotel.
That was a good night.
