*pov of Daisy*
It was graduation day, I could finally escape the school. My house was already for sale and I was planning on going to college in Washington state, have a fresh start.
I basically have been a shit person for the past few weeks, which I felt like well shit for. I have barely spoke to my friends and my boyfriend. Which they all seemed to not mind. The only good part about today was it was the Bring Ne The Horizon concert night. Which I'm assuming I'm going alone to, I'll probably bump into Oli as he still has the other ticket that was next to me.
Graduation went as expected, it was full of excited people but I showed no emotion. I saw all my friends smiling and hugging. I saw Oliver doing bro hugs with his pals. Everyone seemed so happy. I shrugged it off and went home to get ready for the concert. But before that there was a showing of my house.
The couple seemed nice, the woman was pregnant with a little girl and they both seemed happy. "This house is in great condition as you can see. It's a great place for entertainment too!" The couple smiled and nodded their heads," I love how the bedroom is close to the master perfect for us." "Oh did I mention the office can also become a bedroom? Perfect if you plan on expanding the family!" They both smiled and I continued the tour.
Soon they left and they seemed as if they were going to buy it. I'd be perfect I need the money for college and then I plan on living there too so I need all the money I can get.
I changed into a cute Bring Me tank top and black short shorts. I tied up my back converse and put my hair into a high pony tail. Well hopefully this can help me forget everything for a bit.
I took an uber there and it was not crowded yet, given I was two hours late. I frowned when I remembered Oliver had the meet and greet tickets. Well I guess I can save the band from having to see my hideous face. I decided to sit on a bench and wait to get inside.
I pulled out my phone and played some Bring Me to get me pumped up. A person sat down next to me. They had on a beanie and tank top with long black ripped skinny jeans. They had tattoos on both arms and it seemed as if they were everywhere. I kept staring at them, how rude of me.
The person turned around and my heart dropped, "O-Oli?" The persons lips curled into a smile," that's me, love. Sorry i just needed some quiet and you seemed lonely." My face was frozen with my eyebrows raised, I shook my head," uh sorry, i just wasn't expecting to well meet my favorite musician today." I stuck out my hand and introduced myself," hi, I'm Daisy!" He chuckled a bit," that name is absolutely adorable honestly." I rolled my eyes," I'm not a kid, my mom just liked the name." He laughed.
Oliver and I talked for a bit."How old are you Daisy?" "I'm 18 Oliver, and well I know you are like what 30?" He scoffed," I'm 29! Get your facts right!" I laughed," oh I'm so sorry, please forgive me." I pouted. Oliver seemed like a great guy honestly, I never wanted this moment to end.
"Sorry to sound uncool but can we take like a selfie or something?" "No." "Oh, uh sorry I asked Mr.Sykes." "But you can have my number." I looked at him like he was on drugs," um what?" He shrugged," you seem like a cool girl, gimme your phone and I'll give you mine. I want your number." "What if I don't want to give you my number." I heard myself say, the fuck Daisy.
He chuckled," you have no choice." I nodded and handed him my phone while he gave me his. I put in my number and he texted me hi. "Just wanna make sure you didn't give me a random number." I nodded," that's reasonable." "Oh here take this." He handed me a backstage pass," wow thanks." He nodded," well I mean we're friends now so we should hang out."
Soon it was concert time. The band was absolutely amazing. I nearly lost my voice screaming so much. I was able to switch ticket with someone else in the front row to get a seat in the middle of the front way, just in case Oliver did come. I have never danced so much in my life, I had a night of pure happiness.
Soon the concert was over and Oli pulled me into the stage and brought me back stage. "Okay Daisy don't be nervous but the guys tend to get kinda hyper after we play so don't be too threatened." I waved him off," nothing scares me."
He opened the dressing room door to reveal four guys drinking and loudly talking to each other while goofing off, what was he trying to warn me of? Jordan was the first guy to notice me," who brought the kid in?" "Hey! I'm 18!" All the guys laughed except for Oli.
"Guys this is my new friend Daisy, Daisy this is the guys." I waved at them,"hey." Soon the were all screaming at me, "HEY DAISY WHAT IS UPPPP! Wanna beer?!" Matt N yelled," I'm only 18 I legally can't drink. He waved me off," you're no fun." I rolled my eyes," I don't need alcohol to party. He smiled,"okay she can stay I like her already." Matt K stuck out his hand," hey love I'm the better of the two Matts, nice to meet you." I shook his hand and giggled.
After talking for well over and hour Oliver spoke up:
"So Daisy the real reason I wanted you was because we need a new merch girl and well if you can draw too that'd be great cuz we need a designer too. So what do you say, you in?"
