The life that I once lived... Macklemore fanfiction

chapter 5 ~ Hey Mike! This is Lila

The van stopped. We was here.

Tricia leaped out of the van and ran across a short chalky dirt path towards a giant green tent.Me and Ben remained in the van. The sky was clear and blue and the sun shone bright with waves a deep heat. It was a great day for festival.

Me and Ben got out of the van just as Tricia went inside the tent. Ben signald for me to follow him, so i did.

It was nearing 9pm and i could hear the act on stage, even though i could not see the stage or people. But then i realised we was was behind the stage. The song that was blaring out sounded familiar. It was coldplay, kneesocks. Humming along to the tune while walking along the dirt path with Ben, he started to chuckle. He started to sing

"KNEESOCKS!"

In a streeching, high pitch voice. Lets just say i would stick to rap if i was him. Falling about laughing me and Ben bursted into the huge tent, where Tricia was waiting for us.

"God you take your time dont you!"

Tricia blurted.

Inside the tent their was lots people walking about, talking, getting changed, doing make, eating, drinking ect. I could'nt make out any crew member in the tent that i new about. But i did notice a few famous people.

This must be where the acts get ready or stay when they are off stage.

Ben and Tricia lead me through the croud of people till we got to the big exit out of the tent. Tricia and Ben talked amoust themselves while i lagged behind. After atleast 15 minuets of walking endlessly along this yellow chalky path we reached a bunch of medium sized blue tents in a row.

"we're here!"

Tricia announced excitedly. This was it. I was here. In the middle of the tents which held the howl Mack crew. I had been waiting for this my howl life, so why did i have such a bad feeling about this? With Tricia and Ben by my sides we headed for the biggest tent which said on top:

Crew Area.

My stomach churned and i tensed every muscel in my body. Ben help the door for me to come in. I took every step as slowly as i could.

"Come on dont be worried, they'll love you"

Ben reasured me.

"Hey. HEY!"

Ben got the crews attention. They was all looking at him. And then me. My body grew hot and i was sure i was blushing.

"Right guys this is Lila she's that amazing fan i was telling you about... Lila is 23 and from manchester and she's hanging with us till the end of the festival. so be nice."

Mack winked at me and walked off to the food and drink stand.

There was about twenty people in the tent and i could only recognise less than half of them.

I started to talk to Jason about his amazing photgrapy and we ended up taking a few pics together. Six selfies later Jason guesture a man over. He was gorgeous! My eyes automatically went to his. His eyes was a rich deep green and he was quite tall and muscular. He had a strong jaw line and small pursed lips. The mans hair was mouse brown and shaved into a style. He worn baggy blue jeans a lose white vest and a awful pair of pumas. If it wasn't for the kicks he would be pretty much perfect. Jason introduced us

"hey mike! This is Lila, Lila this is mike. Mike's been touring around with us lately and helping Ryan out with the sound track for arrows, you know the new song?"

"yeah yeah, i've been dying to hear it!"

I said while shaking Mike's hand.

"Well maybe i could let you listen to it sometime?"

Mike winked at me and Jason raised his eyebrows while woolf whistling. I shoved him gently and we all started to play fight.

After that Jason had to go and Mike chatted with me and we grabbed a plate of food of the buffet.

By the time we was finished talking i new quite alot about him, and i liked him. Alot. Mike Cooper is twenty eight, he came from Boston. He got with the crew two years ago because Ryan Lewis is his cousin and he is really into his music, so Ryan said he could come on the 2014 tour with him and Mack and help out.

I had so much related with him and i really liked him. Maybe this was the start of a new friendship or even more?
