"Sawyer! You ready?" Mom calls from the bottom of the stairs
"Yes hang on!" I reply as I slip my worn out white Ontisukia Tigers.
Then I jumped off my bed and grab my purse with my phone, permit and other things. I rush down the stairs two at a time and jump from the second step up. I landed on the floor with a thud and Mom led me to the car and we got in. Today I'm going to see Owl City in concert. I live in the middle of no where in Rode Island. Literally, the middle of no where. We have no neighbors and we live near an old abandoned factory. It also takes us an hour or more just to get to town. Which is where we are going. I rummaged through my purse to make sure I have everything. I have my phone, wallet, gum, headphones, Chapstick, but I'm missing my backstage pass. I started freaking out then mom brings it out and I sigh in relief and laugh. She laughs as well. I slip it over my neck and stare out the window that flashed blurry images of corn and whatnot. Then mom turns on the radio and plugs my phone into it. She plays 'On The Wing' and when Adam starts singing I pause it and pick a different song. Which is 'Gold.' A weak smile spreads across my face as I quietly sing along and continue to stare out the window.
We reached town by five in the afternoon and the doors open at six. We left home at two and it took three hours to get here. I scanned my surroundings then saw the building that said 'Owl City Live' and I was grinning like an idiot. We drove around a corner and my mouth hung opened. There were a lot of people here. I looked down at my jeans with patches and my blue I AM tee shirt. Mom found us a parking spot and we got out of the car and headed towards the line of people. As we stood in line I made sure mom and I had our tickets, which we did.
After thirty minuets of waiting I hear ear-piercing screams coming from up front of the line. My hand go over my ears and I squeeze my eyes shut. The screams get louder. My heart pounded in my chest. I want this noise to stop! Then I feel a hand on my shoulder. Hesitantly, I opened my eyes and removed my hands from my ears. I looked up and got blinded by the sun. I then realized that Mom placed her hand on my shoulder and that we were moving forward. Adrenaline rushed through my veins as we neared the line. I looked at Mom with a huge grin on my face, she laughed and ruffled my dirty curly blonde hair. When it was our turn to go in we did. The place opened up to stage and to my right there were stairs heading up to a balcony. I headed that way since I didn't want to get smushed on the bottom floor. We walked up the stairs with a bunch of people and reached the top. I saw big speakers and I found a good spot in the front where we got a nice view of the stage. Perfect! We sat down and waited for the concert to start.
Thirty minuets later the place is full of people, and it was dark. Then I heard Adam talking but the stage was still dark. That's strange, I thought. Next thing I knew the light came on and Adam stood in the middle of the stage holding a microphone, he also wore the same attire as me, to his left stood Jasper Nephew with a guitar, to his right was Breanne Düren who stood in front of a keyboard, and there was a new guy on the drums who I didn't know. Adam looked up in my direction,smiled, and waved. I knew he was looking at me. A bunch of girls behind me screamed and waved back. I clamped my hands over my ears and shut my eyes. When they were done screaming I reopened them and noticed that Adam was frowning in my direction. Then they started playing 'Umbrella Beach. ' I smiled and left my headphones out which was to block the noise. Then the song ended and Adam made an announcement. He had someone turn the house lights up and he asked for Sawyer Woods. Me. Adam asked for me. I shrank down and hid my face.
When the silence was about to make me go crazy, Adam sighed heavily into the microphone and continued with the concert. He played a few more songs. Which were: 'Meteor Shower', 'Embers', 'I'm Coming After You', 'Fireflies', 'Speed of Love', 'Take It All away', 'Dementia', 'Gold', 'Shooting Star', and the last one was 'Good Time.' Before everyone left he asked again for me. I saw the look of sadness on his face and noticed that everyone was trying to get him off stage but he stood there staring at the crowd with a different expression on his face, devastation. Then, after the fifteenth time that Jasper tugged on Adam's shirt, he reluctantly headed off stage. I felt guilty for not speaking up but I had no idea on what Adam was going to do.
Frowning, I shouldered my purse and made my way down the stairs, through the crowd, across the uneven hardwood floors near the stage and went backstage after a security guard let us through. As we walked down the hallway with pictures of different bands on the walls, and the floors with each of the band names, we reached the Owl City dressing room. I froze near the entrance and heard Adam talking. He was saying things that he wished I was here and stuff. How could he know me?! I don't even know him! I jumped when Mom shoved me in the room. Mom and I made eye contact and I shot her a glare. Then I faced the gang. Breanne was sitting down reading, Jasper was sitting near Adam and Adam was sitting on the couch holding his head in his hands. The new drummer dude was no where to be found. I cleared my throat and everyone jumped and stared at me. My face got hot. Adam jumped up and accidentally slapped Jasper. He turned around and apologized then faced me with a grin on his face.
"Hello Sawyer," Adam said while holding out his hand. I took it and we shook.
"How do you know my name Mr. Young?" I questioned as I let go of his hand and shoved them in my pockets.
His face went bright red. "I...um.....heard a girl named Sawyer was coming to the concert and I-"
Jasper jumped up and cut Adam off,"He wanted to make sure that you were here and-"
Then Breanne placed her book down and stood beside Adam and said, "and now that you are here we can stop looking."
I stared at all three of them with creeped out expressions. I wanted to leave and never meet Adam again. He's crazy. Then Jasper and Breanne opened their mouths to speak but Adam glared at them and asked them to leave. I looked at mom and asked the same thing. All three of them left and Adam and I sat on the couch awkwardly. Adam placed his hand on my arm and looked me in the eye.
"I'm sorry. We didn't get introduced very well. As you know my name is Adam Young. And you can call me Adam," He said.
"Okay. As you know my name is Sawyer Woods. And you can call me Sawyer," I stated as a smile spread across my face and laughed.
He laughed as well. Then frowned as he stared at my neck. "What's that mark on your neck?"
I placed my hand there and looked away from Adam. I have a weird birthmark that looks like a heart in the middle on the right side of my neck. Then he apologized for asking. I replied in saying that he asked the question and he should get an explanation. I took a deep shaky breath and told him. I told him that I am one of eight kids, how the others died, and so on and so forth. When I finished telling him, tears formed in his eyes. He placed his hands firmly on my shoulders, looked at me with those big brown eyes, and told me that he'll help me get through what I am feeling for the next three weeks. My heart fluttered. I gave him a hug and smiled. We stood up and Adam had the gang come back in. He told them everything that is going on. He even said he would cancel his next few tours. Before he actually canceled the torus he made sure that it was alright with his manager and went out of the room. Adam came back in the room with a smile on his face and told everyone that his manager said 'yes.' I jumped up and down and the got myself together and walked out.
Adam, Mom and I reached the car, Adam put his suitcase in the very back, and got in. The rest went to the tour bus and headed on home. Adam and I sat in back as Mom drove. While we were driving, I told Adam what I like to do for fun. Which is ride horses, go exploring in the forest behind my house, fun fact: we own a lot of the forest. And I also like to skateboard. Adam's face lit up at that. He asked me what I could do. I told him I couldn't do that much. Just simple tricks. We kept talking and I was dozing in and out of the conversation. Next thing I knew, I was out before we reached home.
