A Beautiful Mistake (Before You Exit // All The Way Tour Fan Fiction)

Chapter 2: Familiar

***

I convinced my parents to let me go out to the mall. It's been I year, I've been doing good. No, good is an understatement, I've been doing an excellent job. They still don't trust me though. It's a miracle that they let me go. But hey, they let me go- that's what matters. If I do good on this camping trip they might loosen my leash a little. Not too much though, I wouldn't want that either.

I'm sorry. I've been going on about the things I pulled off a year ago and you don't know what they are. As much as it pains me to explain these mishaps to you, I will go through with it for your benefit. You see, the Natasha that I am now is a completely different version of Natasha from the past years. Back then I wasn't the prim and proper prep school girl. I was just the opposite of that- band tees, ripped skinny jeans, ratty old converse, rock music and heavily dyed hair. Most of all I was a trouble maker- not because I was angry at society or anything. I did it for the fun of it. I had a set of friends like myself too... my band. I've had this passion for music ever since I could talk. Heck, I was singing eversince I could make words come out of my mouth. It's always been a part of me, but I never imagined it destroying my life. After a while spending time with my band, I did a lot of stupid things. As a musician, you're not really living a safe lifestyle. You risk everything. First you start throwing school away for band practice, then you work your way up- get gigs and go to parties. You go to parties and you do a lot of crazy things. All that led to this: My friggin perfect boring life that my parents control. No, I don't blame any of my friends and band mates for my punishment. It's not their fault, that's how they are and I can't just change them like that. It's my fault... it's the music's fault. I knew better than to do those things back then, but I still did. Now I'm a puppet.

Do I miss the old me? Yes... sometimes, then the painful memories flood my mind and I forget about the old Natasha. I haven't thought of the old Natasha until today actually. I haven't thought of her until I touched my iPod today. Then I realize, I haven't used my iPod in forever. It must've been in that bag for a while.

"Tash?" Maggie brings me back to the real world.

"hmm?" I mumble still staring off into oblivion

"...A-are you fine?" Mags slurped on her smoothie.

"Yeah, I am. I was just going through a check list in my brain" I lied and then chuckled nervously.

Mags started talking about random stuff. Everything seemed to blur and her voice tuned out. I stared off at the shops across the smoothie bar we were in, blurring out Maggie and her conversation. It's not that I don't like Mags, she's a great friend... I just don't feel like myself today, that's all. As I was staring off into the cluster of shops, I noticed something that caught my eye. Nobody would've missed it. It was a girl with electric blue hair in a Hot Topic and I think I knew her.
