Hooked (An Of Mice and Men FanFiction)

Chapter 4

I regain my balance and start walking with Jade and Ashton by my side. My stomach starts to growl, and I realize how hungry I'm getting. I look around for something to eat and a Chinese food stand catches my eye. I limp over through the crowd and look at the menu.

"1 order of noodles please!" I say to the lady at the front.

"That will be $10.00 please" she reply's to me.

I stand in shock for a second then ask her to repeat it.

"$10.00 for the noodles?" she replies for a second time with a questioning look on her face.

I can't believe the price, but I hand her my $10.00 bill and take my noodles. I walk back to them and Jade tries to take some of my food.

"Careful, you might as well eating gold with what I just payed for this." I snap at her.

She disregards my statement and continues eating some noodles. By the time we all finish my noodles, the sets are just about starting so we head over to start off the day with Falling in Reverse. We are standing in the middle of the crowd and are getting more and more excited the more we think about the day ahead.

Ronnie comes running out on stage with a black tank top, black baggy shorts, and a ripped vest with some sneakers to set the outfit. He starts with Fashionably late, and I grab my phone out of my pocket and start recording! I love this song! We all start screaming and waving our hands in the air!

"And I don't wanna be that guy
That makes you sad
That makes you cry"

He sings song after song! I sing along to I'm not a Vampire, The Drug in Me is You, Bad Girls Club, Good Girls Bad Girls, and a bunch more. The whole crowd waved our hands up in the air in sync while all singing along until the Falling in Reverse set ended!

We stopped for a small break before we walked to the next one. We drank some water so we wouldn't pass out on the best day ever and had some snacks so we wouldn't starve, not that we were thinking much about eating at this point.

Next we headed over to go see Motionless in White perform for Me and Jade mainly! Chris came out on stage looking as creepy and cool as ever and started with America. Everybody was screaming and head banging along to the song! I kinda just take a second and think, I'm actually here, this isn't a daydream, this is real life, and I'm actually at Warped Tour! I stop thinking about it and go back to singing! They play Devil's Night, Reincarnate, and Black Damask, some of my favorites. We all try to take some good pictures, so we can remember most of this day.

I notice that there is a lot more security guards at this set compared to Falling in Reverse's set. So many people are trying to crowd surf, and it looks like some of them are getting hurt! I'll just stay over here and remain intact.

As the set ends, we stop for a second and we take another water break. We start to head over to see Mayday Parade, so Ashton can hear her favorites when someone catches my eye. A really attractive brunette with some blonde in it, a little taller than me, with a nice tan and black shades on is walking towards me wearing a little sign that says "free kisses".

"Want a free kiss?" he asks with a smirk when he reaches me.

I blush, and he grabs my hips, my skin tingling from his touch. When I don't resist he leans in. I feel his hot breathe on my face and his warm lips touch mine. After a minute or two I feel a tap on my shoulder and Ashton whispers, "Mayday Parade or this boy?" I debate for a minute then pull back and turn to leave when he grabs my hand. He pulls me close again and asks for my number. I think, what the hell! I'm gonna have the time of my life today, and I put my number in his phone. I leave him with a kiss on the cheek and run off to the other set!

"Well that was quite a show" Jade says to me when we settle in the crowd.

The set starts and Ashton starts to freak out and sing along to Stay, Terrible Things, Miserable at Best, and a lot of songs I don't even know the name of!

"Now don't you understand why Austin Jones loves them so much?" she screams at me over the crowds loud voices!

It becomes routine for us to take water breaks after every set we go to and after we chug down some bottles of water, I look at the time and it's already 1:05! The Of Mice and Men set starts at 2:20 and I start freaking out! We spend the next hour going to a bunch of different sets consisting of We The Kings, The Ready Set, Breathe Carolina, and The Summer Set! I don't need to get to the front of the crowd for Of Mice and Men because I'll meet them at the Meet and Greet later anyways!

When we're done, we run over to the Of Mice and Men stage and stand in crowd just waiting for the set to start. This is the moment I've been waiting for for so long! We all do a big group hug and take a selfie! I realize I'm biting my nails and try to stop so I don't mess up my manicure!

I recognize Aaron's brunette hair from this morning and Alan, Tino, and Phil following on stage but we're missing one. Why do they make me deal with this anticipation!?!

Phil and Alan begin with their guitars and I recognize the song instantly!

"It's like loving a lion that cannot be tamed
A snap at the thought or the sound of your name"

I'm looking around for Austin when he runs out on stage making his dramatic entrance wearing his famous 'Create Music' shirt along with a black pair of skinny jeans! He starts head banging at the front of the stage and I start to tear up!

"A cut cannot heallll
Unless you leave it aloneeee
I open mine dailyyyy
Leaving bones exposed"

I watch for Alan's signature guitar flip and start freaking out and screaming along with Ashton and Jade! I make sure I get videos and pictures of everything!

"If I could find the words
If I could shake the world
If I could turn back time
Would you still be there"

I start drooling over Aaron's song and fall in love all over again!

I have mixed feelings about hearing Second and Sebring. I want to hear it live, but I don't want to cry and see Austin get emotional in person because I'm just going to break down...Nevertheless, it's the next song that plays.

"Come back
So I
Can say
Thank you for these
Home cooked meals and a place
To rest my troubled head when you're away
I passed the test I earned an A
Not just in school but in life
You'll always be right by my side
To help me show hope to all
That are lost and sick in this dying world"

Austin starts to cry and leaves his head hanging
and I completely loose it. I'm balling into Ashton's shoulder and she crying into mine. I look over at Jade and find that she is crying into a complete strangers shoulder. Looking back at Austin, I feel so bad for him, but he is such a strong person, and I love him for it!

I notice in between songs that it seems like something is on Austin's mind. He seems like he is looking for someone but not enough for anyone else to notice. I figure he's just looking around and go back to singing along with the band!

Public Service Announcement, Break Free, The Depths, You Make me Sick, all my favorites, come and go and we're nearing an end to the perfect set with the perfect band! I start to cry again. I'm so glad I wore waterproof mascara! The band finishes with a bow and everybody is screaming and waving there hands in the air, and I'm taking as many pictures as I can, so I can always remember this day (not that it should be a problem anyways). How could this day get any better?
