Chapter 64: Something Better

3rd person POV:

The group of friends exits the van after going through the crowd, forming in front of the stadium, after parking in a decent spot. When Zach first steps out, a good amount of fans yell in excitement. It's like it's not Bruno Mars' concert, but theirs.

One by one they go out, Daniel and Laurie following Zach, the boy not letting go of Laurie's hand. More screams come out their way.

Laurie has already experienced situations where they were really close by fans, but this time, the overwhelment took over. She starts to struggle while breathing. Taking deep breaths, she clutches harder on her boyfriend's hand.

Once they all get inside, she leans on the wall and wave of relief takes over. Trying to steady her breathing, Daniel looks at her concerned.

"It's fine." She replies, looking into his blue eyes, as if she's reading his mind. She gives a little squeeze to his hand, showing that everything's fine.

The blue eyed boy gives her a peck on the forehead, making her smile a little. Looking up, she saw a sweet smile, creeping from his lips.

"Okay, let's get going to your seats guys. Your tickets are already checked you can just go ahead." Tyler says, handing to each of them their ticket.

Jack squirms and sprints, unable to contain his excitement. Some of the squad chuckle and follow him without saying a word, just like Laurie, still trying to recover from her almost panic attack.

They all walk pass by a dark hallway, leading them to where seems to be the stadium, with extremely good lighting.

After a few seconds, trying to adjust to the sudden lighting, they all proceed to search their assigned seats and settle down, but some still standing and admiring, preparing themselves for the upcoming show.

Daniel's POV:

I stand and take a quick glance around the stadium and let me tell you, this place is HUGE. I really hope someday we get to perform on a stage that big.

"Performing on tour sure is something unreal, but this is really something else." I say out loud, mostly for myself. But I turn around and see the small grin on Laurie's face.

"Someday you'll get there." She adds, looking around, following my gaze. "I believe it."

"How can you be so sure?" I question, curiously.

"Because I know what you guys are capable of. And to reach a goal this big, with the fans you have, the commitment you have, the dedication you give to your work and the love you have for music, the way to get there is a path you can, the five of you, get through."

I stare at her in admiration, unable to describe what I am feeling at the moment.

Until now, I still don't know how lucky I got to have this girl by my side, believing in me fully and loving me.

I take her in my arms with care, not wanting to scar this precious girl, but strong enough to not let her go, fearing she would go away with one wrong move.

"I love you." I say truthfuly.

Her grin widens. "I love you more." She replies, as she leans on my chest.

"Impossible." I chuckle.

With her chin resting on my chest, she looks up to me. Without hesitation, I lean down to plant a small but sweet kiss on her lips.

And with that, all the lights go down and the music starts playing.
