2D x Reader: The Story Of My Love

Chapter 38

You got out of the car. After the silence car ride. Well you wished it was silent Johnny tried to get you to perform a different song. He stopped trying after a while.

"Babe you want me to take your guitar?" Johnny asks. Taking both guitars out of the trunk.

"Yes please" you say adjusting your jacket. As well as fixing your hair a bit.

Johnny parked not far away from the festival. It was a block away. He never liked parking in parking lots. So we always had to park in the neighborhood. Maybe it was cause some teen had keyed the words cock, piss, and some other word get couldn't remember.

You and Johnny walked down the block. The festival was huge. At the end you were able to see the stage. It wasn't huge but big enough for your band. Your eyes brightened at the sight of all the Christmas lights around everyone's booth. It wasn't anywhere near Christmas. But it did make you wanna go in and see what that booth was selling.

"Johnny look they are selling crystals" you say pulling his arm like a child.

"Okay okay, let's go look" he smiles.

You walk toward the booth it was one of the first ones you came across. You still had like 30 booths to get through to get to the stage.

This booth was purple and had white Christmas lights. They also had crystals hung by string on the ceiling.

They had home made soap. Some herbs in small bottles with home made labels.

And of course the crystals. You found them so interesting.

"Which one do you want?" Johnny asked putting down the guitars gently on the ground. He must of gotten tired  you thought.

"I have all these expect rose quartz" you say with a smile.

"How much for the pink crystal?" Johnny said out loud turning his head toward who you assumed to be the seller.

"Any in that pile is 5 dollars. The polished shaped ones are 7." The man said.

There was two piles. One pile that had the rock shaped as hearts or roses. And the other just the crystal as a organic crystal.

Of course you wanted the unaltered one.

You grabbed the biggest most weirdly shaped one.

"This one is perfect" you say holding it out to Johnnys face.

"Are you sure? You don't want one shaped as a heart?" He asked.

"Nope this one." You say.

"I'll get you this small heart one to." He says.

He took your crystal and picked one that was shaped into the perfect heart.

He gave the seller his money and you two went to your booth.

After walking through everyone asking if you wanted a sample and the people offering you insurance. You finally saw your bands booth.

"Marco!" You yelled.

You ran toward Marco and gave him a hug. You were just so exicted about how the booth looked.

Sure it was small and only had one table. But it had rainbow Christmas lights and paper cranes hug on the ceiling.

"Marco this looks amazing!" You yell Marco still shocked at the sudden tight hug.

"Okay okay, let go of him" Johnny says pulling your arms of him.

It kinda hurt a little.

Johnny was really territorial.

"I'm glad you like it. Look we have your cds here and we also have band shirts." Marco says point at the table.

"No way! How did you get my drawing?" You yell in awe holding one of the folded shirts from the table.

You traced the design with your finger. It was a drawing you made of a skull with flowers coming out of its head.

Your band was called the deadly thorns.

The cds had the same design as well.

It all looked pretty professional.

"Well I scanned it and had it made to some tees. As well as print it for the album cover." Marco smiles.

You didn't notice but he was wearing one of the shirts.

"Marco it's all amazing" you say your eyes sparkling.

"Don't thank me just yet. We still have to perform. And be good to get people to buy out stuff." Marco says.

"Yeah, so you brought your drums?" Johnny asked.

"Didn't have to. I asked and the people in charge have drums on stage already." Marco said.

Made sense, you guessed they didn't want to waste time having people set up drums after each performance.

You crack you fingers.

"Well we should get ready. When do we preform?" You ask.

"Actually in 10 minutes. Thank God you two made it on time" Marco said.

"We like to take our time" Johnny says wrapping his arm around your waist and smirking at Marco.

"Ew. Gross don't joke about that" you say knowing what Johnny was trying to say.

He laughed. He liked making you uncomfortable. It was funny to him, maybe you make a funny face or something.

"We should set up, the other band is about to play. I assume after them it's us" you say.

"Exactly let's get going" Marco says.

The three of you left the booth setting a sign the read, be back in a minute.

The other band was playing their song. You sat at steps of the stage and made sure your guitar worked for the third time.

You started feeling nervous.

Marco gave you a slight smile. You could read that it was the smile that said "You can do this". Marco was really your only guy friend.

The only reason Johnny let you hang was because Marco had a boyfriend.

"Are you all ready?" Someone behind you says. You look up and it was one of the guys who was running the festival. You could tell due to how formal he looked compared to everyone else. Plus he had a name tag.

"We sure are!" All three of you said in unison.

"Great your up. You have a minute to set up. The speakers are over their if you need them." The worker says and smiles then walks away.

You walk up to the stage. And connect your guitar to one of the amps. Thank God it came with the wire. You forgot it.

You walked toward the microphone which was in the center of the stage.

You looked at the crowd. It was pretty big. Maybe 50 something people. You felt scared.

Marco gave you a thumbs up, and so did Johnny. They were ready to play. You nodded at them. Ready to sing.
