Safe Haven

chapter 6

Luke---

I'm doing my best to focus on the road. But she has no idea how awesome she looks. I'll take skinny jeans and rip tees over dresses any day. Shit should I have told her she looks good.

"You ummm... You look really nice." I hardly recognize my voice. It's like I'm going threw puberty again. Come on Luke get ahold of yourself.

"Thanks it's just an old t-shirt." Abigail.

"I love green day. Me and Cal went to there show last year. They are amazing live. Have you ever seen them.... Live?" I think I'm babbling, and gripping the steering wheel to hard. I clear my throat and loosen my grip.

She laughs lightly. "Yeah.. just 8 times.... Front of the mosh pit every show."

"I worked really hard to try to get to the front when we went." Luke

"The LA show?" Abigail

"Yeah! ... Why?" Luke

"I was at the LA show last year. I planned my college visit the same time so I could go."

I can't help but smile. Not many girls are down for being in a sweaty mosh pit. Air would never be caught dead at a concert. She thinks music is over rated "What other bands are you into?"

She turned in her seat so she was facing me. Her eyes were huge and she was smiling. "Blink 182, acrylic monkeys, good Charlotte."

"All time low, Nirvana, girls like boys" Luke

"Are you reading my play list?" Abigail

"No. You must just have great taste in music." I glace over and she's still beaming.

"I love music. It's got me through some really rough times ." Abigail

"Same. I didn't even no seeing someone live in concert could be such a rush." Luke

"I was 3rd row for Ed Sheeran and I'm pretty sure it was like being on ecstasy." Abigail

"Is the band your taking me to as amazing as Ed Sheeran?' Luke

"I don't know if anyone will ever be on the same level as Ed Sheeran. But they're good. They cover a lot of my favorite bands." Abigail

I smile and fallow the GPS to a small bar in the middle of downtown. We  end up having to park a few blocks away.

"You gonna make it in those pants." Abigail laughs as I'm climbing out of the car.

"Are they that bad I can go back and change." Luke

"No there actual..... Kinda hot." Her face turned red as soon as she had said it.

"They smash my junk but... there kinda hot tho." I laugh "I guess I shouldn't throw them away when I get home then." I pulled my ID out and handed it to the man at the door.

"$5 cover charge. "

"Your a cheap date." Luke

Abigail hands her ID over and the man shakes his head. "Sorry you have to be 21 to get in."

"I'm with the band." Her voice sounds more like a question then a statement.

"Let me grab someone. I'll be right. back." He disappeared inside.

"You brought me to a bar you can't even get into. Like you didn't even try to use a fake ID."

The doorman is back with the a guy holding a set of drum sticks. I'm pretty sure its blonde boy from the library.

"Yeah she's with us."  The bouncer moves to the side and we fallow the guy inside. "Nice pants bro." He starts giggling and I'm woundering if this is how he really laughs or just how he laughs about Abigail. "I'm Ash. Thanks for coming."
