The air was heavy and there was a sigh of relief as the sun began to disappear over Of Mice and Men’s set. It was a high of 90 today, and as nightfall came, it only promised a cool summer breeze. I looked up at the stage to see Austin Carlile screaming his heart out as he let out the words to their last song of the night. I smiled and turned around to get a glimpse of all the moshers getting out their last bit of energy and singing along. I spotted my best friend, Vanessa in a circle pit that had formed and I just laughed. It was her favorite place to be.
“You guys were fucking awesome! Thank you New York!” Austin yelled to the crowd as Valentino Arteaga threw is drum sticks into the crowd and descended backstage. The crowd started to scramble and all that was left was the musky haze of weed, which was typical for any Warped Tour set.
“Holy shit! That was amazing, I can now die happy” said Vanessa as we found each other through the crowd of people trying to make it to the last set of the night. “I can’t decide on who to see tonight. Sleeping with Sirens and MGK are playing at the same time” I sighed and waved the list of bands in her face
“I think you should see MGK, Alivia. You’ve been dying to see him for like the past 2 years.” Vanessa said while wiping the sweat off of her face. “You’re right,” I added “and we’re seeing Sleeping with Sirens next month anyway.” I grabbed her arm and we started running towards MGK’s stage in hopes to find a good standing spot.

“It’s guna start! Oh my god, I can’t even right now!” I said, jumping up and down. I was amazed we made it to the front before everyone else. I was dead center and ready to make out every little detail of his tattoos
“New York! Are you ready! Lemme see those L’s in the air! And no I’m not talking about your weed. Lemme see you lace the fuck up!” The drums started rattling as MGK’s hype man yelled those words to the crowd and we all started screaming and throwing up L’s.
“Machine Gun Kelly!” was the last thing the hype man yelled before the crowd started pushing to the front
Yeah Bitch, Yeah Bitch call me Steve-O
I'm a wild boy, fuck an eighth I need o's
Yeah Bitch, Yeah Bitch call me Steve-O
The crowd raged as MGK came jumping out from back stage and started head banging
I'm an East side Cleveland wild boy
We got baseball bats like the Indians and my team pop off like cowboys.
You're a white flag, throw that towel boy
I'm a jump right in that crowd boy
I don't give a Shhh! keep it down boy
and I'm a fuck you blow that loud boy!
And just as those last three lines left his mouth, he jumped right into the crowd next to me and Vanessa. Girls pushed to get even a finger on him. He was crowd surfing and just before security rescued him, he took a puff from some guys blunt. “I fucking love you man!” the guy yelled towards MGK while head banging.

As the set went on, he played some more songs from the Lace Up album and some that he recorded back in the day. He even did a cover to one of Blink 182 songs which the crowd was more than eager to sing to.
The moon and the stars had completely blanketed the sky and we all prepared ourselves for his last song of the night.
“This last song I got for yall is one of the new ones I’m going to be releasing on the upcoming album. But I thought I’d let you guys here in New fucking York hear it first. How’s that sound, Ragers?! Let’s slow it down for yall. This goes out to all the bad bitches in the crowd tonight.” MGK smiled and turned around waiting for the music to start up
Promethazine at 13 muthafucka,
Everything slow motion, I'm not an earthling muthafucka,
and you are not a girl you’re a goddess
Us against world, girl I got us
Benihanas for them lame shits
He got really close to the crowd and you can see all the emotion pour into his green eyes. They were gorgeous and the light reflected off them in such a way that made me lose it. No one in the crowd mattered. I lost sight of everything and forgot all the problems I’ve been going through. And just as I started smiling, he stood right in front of me, bent down and looked me dead in the eyes as he sang the last hook of the song
I look up to the stars, made a wish to have everything in a girl,
Look down and there she is the baddest bitch in the world
He winked at me then got back up. I stood there in a trance. Machine Gun Kelly just sang to me. Vanessa nudged me and I snapped back to reality. Suddenly the crowd was there and I was back at Warped Tour. I looked over at her and her eyes were wide with excitement. I couldn’t even speak.
“Alright yall, thanks for coming out tonight. Everyone get home safe and shit! Lace up!” he yelled while jumping up and down and running backstage. Everyone started to scramble off to the exit since he was the last show of the night.
“That was amazing. He looked right into my eyes, Vanessa. I felt something.” I said, maneuvering through the crowd with Vanessa. She laughed, “You’re just star struck”
Maybe that was the case, but I know something lit up between us when he looked down at me. But what are the odds, MGK falling for a fan girl? It would never happen.

We finally made it to the parking lot and we found my all black 2007 Mustang GT. I had to work my ass off around the house for my parents to agree to buy me this bad boy for my 18th birthday. He was my baby.
We got in the car, blasted the AC and I started to back up just when someone knocked on my trunk. I quickly braked, thinking I just hit someone. “Holy shit, did I just hit somebody” I said looking in my rearview mirror.
“Umm, Alivia” said Vanessa, her voice sounded so shocked. “Oh my god I did, didn’t I?” I said looking over at her. But she wasn’t looking behind us; she was staring blankly passed me and looking through the window. I raised an eyebrow and turned around to see what she was looking at
“Oh shit” I whispered. Standing 6’4 and now peering into my window with his Mohawk half flopped over, he smiled and waved at me. Machine Gun Kelly was standing outside my car door. I rolled down the window and he stuck his head in.
“What’s good?” he said. I just looked at Vanessa, my mouth hanging open, and then looked back at him. “I um,” he cleared his throat “you’re the girl from the set just now right? The one in the front?” he looked nervous
“Yeah, that’s me” I answered
“Well, I just wanted to thank you and your friend for being such great supporters. You seemed to have all my lyrics down” I laughed and it was probably the cutest thing I’d ever heard
“You really stalked us to our car to tell us that?” asked Vanessa, raising an eyebrow at him
He just looked at her and started to turn red. “Nah, I wanted to ask you something” he looked back at me
“Me?” I answered
“Do you think I can have your number maybe?” he smiled and took out his iPhone
“My number?” I asked, shocked and probably red as an apple. “Sure” I took his phone, added my number and took a selfie for the contact picture.
“Well thank you, I better get out of here before everyone catches on” he laughed “I’ll catch yall later”
He looked around, and then ran off. I sat there and me and Vanessa just looked at each other, both smiling ear to ear.
I just gave MGK my number.
