Euphoria // Grunge One-Shots

Backstage I - Eddie Vedder

"Just go, (Y/N)! This might be your only chance!" Johnny tells me while pushing me in the direction to go backstage.

I sigh and give him a look, "But it's your ticket, I can't that away from you!"

Johnny lets out a laugh, before wrapping me in a hug, "I got the ticket for you, I need to go anyways. I don't want to keep Hannah waiting for me too long, I told her I'd go home immediately after the show."

I wrap my arms even tighter around him, "God, I have no idea how I'm ever gonna repay you for this, but thanks John, it means the world to me! I love you, see you soon, yeah?"

"Of course, have fun!"

Johnny leaves my side and makes his way over to the exit as I nervously walk over to the guard who's guarding the entrance to go backstage. "Ticket." the guard says in a low, emotionless, voice and I show him the ticket Johnny just gave me.

The guard let's me through and soon I'm waiting backstage for Pearl Jam to come off stage. Here I am, a 22 year old woman, totally nervous and totally crushing on a band. Well, on the lead-singer, to be exact. Eddie Vedder. Who doesn't find the man intriguing?

I look around and I notice there are only a couple others. I expected it to be quite packed in here, but I guess I'm one of the few lucky ones tonight. I really need to think of a way to repay Johnny.

Johnny is like my big brother. He's always looking after me. We became friends back in high school and we stayed together ever since. A lot of people always expected John and I to get together and get married, but it never happened. We have kissed a couple of times, but that was mostly during games of truth or dare and someone dared on of us to kiss the other. Johnny is in a happy, healthy, relationship with Hannah and has been for over three years already. They're honestly the cutest couple on this world.

"Oh my god, there they come!" a younger boy excitedly yells to his dad while pointing at the men emerging from stage.

I'm standing a little more in the back, 'cause I got here a bit later than the rest, but I can clearly see each one of them coming down from the stairs.

When I see Eddie's figure, my breath hitches. He's even better-looking in person.

The guys make sure to go over to the young boy and his dad. Shaking hands with the father and embracing the boy. They all seem so nice and happy and I can't help my heart when it flutters a bit.

"Hey there." a voice calls and I immediately snap out of my daze. When I turn to see who's talking to me, I'm met with a very familiar face. "H-hi," I say softly, getting flustered.

Stone lets out a chuckle before offering me his hand, "I'm Stone." I shake his hand and let out a soft laugh, "I know. I'm (Y/N)."

Eddie is my very fave, but Stone comes close after. "I figured you did, but it's only polite to properly introduce myself." he says and we both laugh some more.

"How did you like the show? Got a good look?"

I shake my head, "Very much, yes. And the show was amazing, really! I had a great time."

Stone smiles and offers me a drink for which a thank him. Someone from their crew just handed him two bottles of coke. "Was this your first show?"

"No, I've seen you live before. At MTV Unplugged in '92. It's been a while, but I was there." I tell him and a smile spreads across his face once more. He takes a sip before saying, "That has been a while indeed. We've gotten old."

To that we both burst out in laughter again. It was in different century, really. Now being the year 2000.

After my conversation with Stone, Jeff and Mike join me and Stone leaves me to greet another fan. They're also a lot of fun. Mike is as funny as they say and Jeff is just really fun to be around as well.
