What I Need

Meet'n Sneak

I'm still crying my eyes out, I still can't believe that I accidentally got kicked out of a community freaking college three months ago because I forgot one stupid source. What the hell is wrong with me?!? As I sob I can still hear the mean words that the adults in my life had said to me.

'How could you be so stupid?'

'You should've been more careful!'

'You ruined your life because of your own irresponsibility!'

Ugh, all I needed were words of comfort but I get that instead. The only person who was able to help me in the least was my best friend in the entire world and roommate Bailey who is my favorite dirty blonde and whom I've known since I was a freshman in high school and Bailey was a sophomore. We have similar tastes in music, bonding over other bands like SWMRS and Emily's Army over the years. To cheer me up we're gonna walk to a nearby punk venue to see SWMRS play today which is my favorite band in the whole world and we have passes to meet them and I most definitely have got to get an autograph from Cole to frame beside my bed.

"Eek, thank you so much for doing this Bailey!"

"You're welcome, now we're almost there and it's 7:50 and the show doesn't start until 8:00."

I'm smiling so hard right now with every step I take.

What if I meet them? I hope they're nice. Gah, I want to take a pic with Cole and feel Joey's fluffy hair and I wanna touch Seb's-

"We're here!" Bailey interrupted my most intimate thoughts.

I grabbed Bailey's hand, gave the bouncer in front of the venue our tickets and I took off like a kid in a candy store.

I tried to travel through the crowd of people to get towards the front or at least the middle.

"I can't believe I'm here!" I shouted with glee

"Yeah, well here's to cheer up bud, my bud y/n."

Then the lights went out and the crowd started to cheer as I saw the one and only Max Becker slide out on stage with swagger and begin to play the guitar riff of Palm Trees then I saw a spotlight on Joey Armstrong playing drums followed by Seb Muller on bass and Cole 'Cutie pie' Becker lead in vocals and the camera person, Stove snapping pics.

"How are you all doing Boston?!?"

I was screaming my head off along with everyone else. I was near the front of the stage and waved my arms to hopefully catch his eye but he kept on singing.

"Bailey they're there! They're right there!"

Bailey started head-banged to the song and I followed everyone else leads.

They were better than I could ever imagine, everyone was having an awesome time, singing and dancing.

As I started to dance to a slower and quieter song and Max was staring at me. The Max Becker! I smile like an idiot and waved quickly and he nodded his head pushing his hair to the side.

"Max you're so cool!" I shouted loudly.

"Thanks, love you too!"

Omg! I know I said it during the song but he heard me! I'm going to die of happiness. I couldn't wait for the song to be over since that's the last one and I'm going to meet them after. I danced like crazy waving my arms everywhere and did the splits at the end, which bothered some people nearby. I cheered and I grabbed Bailey by the arm.

"Omg, this is too much, thankyousomuchlet'sgomeetthem!"

"Whoa slow down, okay, let's go meet them."I yanked Bailey by the arm and ran out of the crowd and towards the backstage area and when Bailey showed the security guard our passes I attempted to keep calm as I met them but as soon as I saw Joey, I felt like I was holding an explosion back.

"Hey, what's up?" He said to me as I just stood there with the same stupid smile leaving Bailey to introduce us.

"Hey what's up I'm Bailey and this is-"

"OH MY GOD, JOEY FREAKING ARMSTRONG!" I screamed, making him make a face, turn around, and call for Seb.

As soon as I saw Seb and Max I cooled down a little.

"Sup, I'm Seb, nice to meetcha." I grinned cheek to cheek. "Seb-dude, and Max Becka."

"What's up?" He said.

"Where's Cole, Max? I need an autograph man."

"Oh wow, no love for me I guess, it's always about Cole, I feel like that girl from the Brady Bunch. He's with someone else right now."

"Martha Martha Martha," Seb imitated.

"Uh, it's Marsha, Seb."

"Hey Cole, get your fruity self over here," Seb called.

I couldn't see Cole until Seb walked away and I felt my heart pound out of my chest as I saw Cole approaching me.

"Hey, I'm Cole."

Out of impulse, I hugged Cole squeezing the breath out of him and crushing his lungs.

"Wow, I can't believe you didn't hug me like that, I'm hurt," Max said to me.

"Hey, it's great to meet you but uh, I got other fans to meet, see ya."

"Wait, Cole no! I need an autograph!" I squeaked as he walked away.

"Awe, Cole will probably take a while so he'll probably be in the van. Sorry, it's always nice to meet a fan."

As he walked away I felt a little disappointed but grateful for the opportunity, but still, a little cheated.

"It's okay," Bailey said to me, "It was nice to meet them right?"

I squinted and grabbed Bailey's arm again.

"C'mon Max said the van, so we're going to the van."

This time I nearly ripped off Bail's arm as we went out back and saw nobody near the van yet.

"C'mon Bail, maybe Cole's inside already."

We slipped inside and saw nobody yet.

"We should leave now!" Bailey whispered to me.

"Not until I get an autograph to hang on our wall."

After that, we heard the voices outside and I panicked, acting on impulse again.

"Crab apples crab apples, crab apples! Uh, quick, hide Bail."

"What the do you mean-"

"I said hide, now!"

We both hid in separate beds, curling up in the corners of the beds and dragged the bed covers to hide our bodies from them.

This is going to be a wild ride.
