I get dressed as I check my phone.

I have to be at the bar for 10 pm and it is currently 9:30 pm.

I go to the bathroom to put on some makeup when my phone rings, the number of my best friend coming up :

« Are you nearly ready ? I'm on my way »

« Yeah, just need to put on my makeup »

« I'll be at yours in 5 »

« Sounds good, see ya ! »

I hang up as I put on my lipstick, the finishing touch to my smokey eye.

I check my hair one last time when I leave the bathroom, grabbing my purse and my leather jacket on the way. I finally take my guitar and my notebook as I close the door of my flat, turning the key in the lock and exiting the building where I find my best friend, Maya, waititng for me in her car.

I open the door and put my guitar in the backseat as she starts to drive away.

She talks to me about this guy who she has had a crush on for a while and he asked her out on a date which makes me so happy for her.

It hasn't happened for me yet but I know that I can wait, I'm not in a hurry, I'm only 22.

10 minutes later, we arrive at the bar, it is now 9:55 pm.

We rush to the bar when the manager sees us come in. He gives me a beer as I go to the stage, placing my seat and according the chords on my guitar.

10 pm rings on my phone. I place my butt on the stool and ajust the mic :

« Hey, guys ! Well there are some of you that don't know me, I'm Y/N, the usuals know though ! »

Some whistle, clap and applaud :

« So the first song of the night is Ed Sheeran's « A Team », I hope you enjoyed this ! »

The people applaud as I start strumming the chords of my guitar :

« White lips,pale face, breathing in the snowflakes, burnt lungs, sour taste... »

Conor's POV :

We decided to have a chill guys night, so we went to a bar that Jack's mate owns.

We arrived at 9:00 pm as we had to meet Oli, Mikey, Joe and Caspar.

Once we arrive, the boys have already taken a table and ordered a beer for us when the door opens brutally.

Two girls step in, but one really catches my eye because she has a guitar case.

She goes to a stage and sets our a stool while she's according her guitar.

I turn back to the lads when Jack says :

« Like what you see ? » a smirk visible on his face.

I laugh as the others lads start talking about their future plans but I just can't focus, all I can hear is the strumming of her guitar and her soft voice, singing Ed Sheeran.

I turn to her and see her with her eyes closed, her small hands grazing the chords and her soft voice hypnotizing me...

A few songs later, there is only one song left :

« And last but not least, an acoustic version of « Like That » by Jack and Jack »

I put my guitar back in it's case and go to the piano. I crack my fingers and place my fingers on the keys
