I walked backstage of L.A County Fair, with the boys. It was the first my band had ever done. We were so nervous and excited. Well I was more nervous because Demi Lovato was also scheduled to perform after us. And well that meant seeing her again. We hooked up a few times when she didnt want a serious relationship last year. I ended it, as I didnt just wanna be a booty call. Weird right a guy thinking like that, not wanting a booty call. But the truth was I fell inlove with her, sounds soppy but yeah in her mind we just had casual sex, but in mine. We made love. But I found out by social media, she got back with her ex boyfriend Wilmer Valderamma. Who is thirty-three, built and has one of those accents every girl just falls for. I'm twenty four a musician and have got a basic L.A accent. But yeah i was pretty heartbroken when I heard the news. I followed her around like a lost puppy for about eight months, then she just cut me loose. The band I'm in is called Honor Society. You can say we're quite big, for a new upcoming band. Our last single "See U in the Dark" went to number one and was in the top 20 charts for three months. I actually wrote two songs about her called "My Own Way" and "Hurricane" after she just told me it was over. I am still truly, deeply and madly inlove with her, but I don't want anyone finding out, as if she knows. My heart will just be shattered again.
We walked past Demi and Wilmer, in the green room. She was on his lap and he was playing with her hair"You okay man" Max the bass guitar played. "Yeah man. I'm good" I smiled fakely, trying not too show I was breaking inside. Tom the guitarist put his arm round me "I know ita hard bro, let's just go and rock that stage" he smiled trying to comfort me. It didn't work. "Thanks" I smiled trying not too break down. Our manager Jayne then walked over "Hey boys" she smiled "Sup. Jayne" Jay smiled. "Heyy" Max said. "So I have been talking to Demi Lovatos manager and well we think it would be a great idea for you guys to do a european tour together" Jayne said. "You serious ?" I said. She nodded "Does it not occur to you that she broke my heart" I said getting angry "Cause I do sweetie. Its just you guys are getting ready to break the European market, your record sales are so high. That all you need to do is tour with someone who is quite big over there. To make them even more bigger" Jayne said. I nodded "Fine. I'll do it for the band" I said, the other boys patted my back saying thankyou.
"Boys five minutes till showtime" the stage director said. The boys were given their instruments and I was given my microphone. I made sure my in ears were in properly. I walked over to the stage and watched the end of Ariana Grandes set. She was cute, i thought. She smiled at me when, she walked off the stage. "Your in there" Max teased "Shut up" I smiled.
We walked on stage and the crowd went nuts. "SUP L.A" I shouted into the microphone. We then went inot playing: See U In the Dark, Why Didn't I, Two Rebels, Hurricane and My Own Way, then closed with Over You. I nearly cried in Hurricane and My Own Way. Emotions got ontop of me as I was thinking about her.
We thanked the crowd and walked offstage. I glanced over to my left, I saw Demi, ready to go on stage. She half heartedly smiled at me. I nodded acknowleding I saw her and walked off with the other boys. Max and I walked down the corridor. "Awesome set" I heard a voice say. I looked over and saw Ariana "Thanks. You too" I smiled. "Thankyou. Bit pitchy in one or two songs" she said. "No you sounded awesome" I smiled. I saw her blush. I put my hands in my pocket, "So how long you in L.A for ?" she asked "For a week you ?" I asked. "Same...Do you fancy meeting up tommorow" she asked "Uh yeah sure. I'll give you my number" I smiled and got my phone out, Ariana got her phone out. We swapped digits and planned to meet up tommorow at Starbucks at 1pm, then walked away in opposite directions.
The next day. I walked into Starbucks, wearing a pair of black skinny jeans, grey jumper and black hi tops. I saw her in a booth waiting for me "Hey" I smiled, "Oh heyy Nathan" she smiled, we hugged. "Sorry I'm late. Band rehearsals over ran" I said. "No probs, i just got here aswell" she smiled. I smiled back. "Have you got a drink yet" I asked "No not yet" she said. "I'll get them" I smiled warmly. She went to her purse. "No. I got them dont worry" I smiled and walked to the counter.
