Will You Be Mine?

Chapter 4

"Hilary are you ok?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just really ready for this concert to start!!" 

"You sure?" she asked. I just nodded.

"I'm sorry, but it seems like Breaking Benjamin have been lost trying to get here. They just found the right way. Just hold on and they should be here in about half an hour. Thanks." The person on stage told us.

"Seriously." I said.

"It's ok Hilary. Look we can just talk to the people around us. I have been. This is Mark. I found out that he lives just a block away from me." Sarah said.

"Hi. I'm Mark." He said.

"Hello. I'm Hilary." I said.

"Nice to meet you." he said.

"You too." I re-plied.

Well it sure seems like they are hitting it off good. I wonder why I have never seen this guy before. I am at Sarah's all the time!

I look behind me and I see so many people.

On the stage, their stuff was already in place. The stage goes across and in the middle the stage extends. For their background they have their album Saturate cover.

All of a sudden the lights went out, and everyone went silent. It was quiet for a good thirty seconds before we heard music start to play.

"Hilary this is the most I have been excited in my life." Sarah yelled

"I know right?! This is awesome!"

Three songs later.

"Hey guys, how are you doing tonight?" Ben asked.

Screams erupted all around including my own.

"Wow. That's fantastic." 

Then he introduced the band.

"I just want to say that we are really sorry for being late. I'm the one to blame because I told them to turn at the wrong place. So one thing you know about me, is to never ask for directions." he said laughing.

"Hilary, he keeps looking at you." Sarah said.

"I'm pretty sure it's someone else." 

"No Hil, hes looking at you. As a matter of fact hes looking at you now." she said.

So I looked and sure enough he was looking at me. Once I looked he smiled, and i smiled back.

"So I hope you guys enjoy the show." Ben said looking away.

"Sarah how many times has he looked at me?" I asked just wondering.

"Probably like ten times." she said.

"Gosh! Then I have a question, Why me? Why haven't I noticed before now?" I asked.

"Why not you? Hilary don't doubt yourself so much. Enjoy it. He just may take interest in you." Sarah said.

"Yeah right. He's famous and I'm not." 

"You never know." she said.

Yeah I guess she is right.

Five songs later.

"I don't know if you heard of this, but for every tenth concert we do we do a free meet and greet." Ben said.

Everyone screamed.

"Well, you guys happen to be one of the tenth concerts." 

More screams.

"So we will see you backstage after the concert." Ben said while looking at me.

I couldn't look away, but I also didn't want to. I could feel myself blushing like a raspberry.

"Ohhhh. Hilary, I think he might like you." Sarah said bumping my arm and making me look away.

"Sarah, how can someone like someone if they don't know them?? I don't think it's possible." I said.

"Oh, it's possible. Trust me." 

"Ok, I'll take your word for it." I said.

After they played ten more songs they said bye.

"Ok Hilary. let's go meet your lover." Sarah said.

"Oh, whatever." I said rolling my eyes, but laughing about it.

"You know what, if you two do end up together, I'm going to be the one saying 'I told you so'." 

"Ok, but I don't think that day will ever come." I re-plied.

"You know that if he would ask you out, you wouldn't think twice about it and you would say yes." Mark said.

"Oh, well hey eavesdropper, and yeah I know." I said.

I didn't think that he would stay around to meet them but I was wrong. I think it might be because of Sarah.

"Awe man. We are the last in line." Sarah said.

"That's a good thing." Mark said.

"Why?" Sarah and I asked at the same time.

"Because the last in line usually gets to talk longer." he said.

"How do you know this?" Sarah asked.

"I went to a concert with an ex girlfriend and we had backstage passes and we ended up being lat in line." he said.

"Ah ok." Sarah said.

"You know how long this is going to take?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah, like three hours." 

"You girls complain a lot." Mark said.

"Well, unlike some people we would like to meet the band we came for." Sarah said.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Mark said, as he was picking on Sarah the whole time.

"Mark, stop poking my side you turd bucket!"

"Turd bucket? What the hell? Never heard that one before." Mark said as he laughed.

"Now you have, but you can't use it, that is my word!" Sarah said sticking her tongue out at him.

I am just glad to see Sarah smiling.
