"Huh, Oh uh my name is Kristin," my best friend said awkwardly. I laughed to myself and the guy turned noticing me.

"OH uh I'm Maria." I didn't even think about being a part of this, I was just here for Kristin, because she wanted to meet this artist guy. I didn't think he would care for my name. But oh well I guess. I smiled and he smiled back. He was fairly cute, if I was being honest. He looked a lot different though from when he was on stage though.

"It's nice to meet you both." He said sweetly.

I looked around and was much more interested in the guy who was lead singer for my favorite band. His name was Derek. He was here just because these bands playing tonight were some of his closest friends, not because he was playing too. But he was hanging out over here, by all the merch like the other bands once they got off, and I just couldn't help staring at him, he was gorgeous. He had everything a real punk star would have. He had sex appeal, mystery and edge. It was heaven walking in front of me. I'm surprised I wasn't drooling yet. I had zoned out but came back to the conversation when I heard my best friend talking again.

"We're probably going to be late to our Metra," she said and laughed. She was nervous, that much was obvious.

The guy we were meeting gave a polite laugh and said, "Oh no we wouldn't want that." I rolled my eyes at his subtle fakeness, hoping no one would notice. I watched as Derek left the room, a small part of me feeling sad. I snapped out of it when I realized we were about to take our photo. I came together placing my arm around his back and then smiled. It was a tad forced, but what the hell, we were young, meeting a band and were off to school come morning.

"It was really nice to meet you!" I said hurriedly.

"Yeah you guys played great!" Kristin said as well.

We waved and rushed out trying to make our cab. In the distance I heard someone's voice ring out but didn't make anything of it.

"Kristin hurry up! I don't want to be stuck in Chicago tonight!!" I squealed as we raced eachother up the stairs to the train.

"Haha I cannot believe I said 'you guys played great'! Like how dumb am I??" Kristin said laughing now that we were finally on the train.

"Kristin, that was great, thank you so much for this. It was honestly so much fun. One of the best times of my life for sure." I smiled at her.

"Ugh same, thank you for being my best friend. And for coming to this concert with me, it means a lot. I probably would have come by myself." Kristin was a self-sufficient kind of person, but I was so glad we met all those years ago, because without her I don't really know where I would be.

I went home that night packed up the rest of my things and got the little sleep I could before the road trip to school.

Joe POV.

"Hey wait!" I called out but had already lost them. I looked down to my hands and saw the strange gold wallet thing in my hands. Before I could think of running after her I had more people coming up to me. I shoved the thing into my pocket and turned to the next two people.

"Hi I'm Katie and this is my boyfriend Jacob. We absolutely love you guys!" this girl said coming up to me. I tried to focus in on her and her boyfriend but I was still a little distracted.

"Well thanks guys, it means lot." I replied back.

"Can we get a picture with you?" they asked me.
