Weightless (AllTimeLow)

1-Your Year

I made my way to a nearby Starbucks and ordered my usual, a tall black coffee that would hopefully wake me up. After paying and getting my cup handed over I sit down in a lonely booth, it's pretty quiet in here since its still too early for normal people to be out, oh well, I'm not and never will be, normal, I tried to but it never worked out.

I put my earphones in and listen to Weightless by All Time Low on repeat while I take my first sip, burning my tongue. I put it down and pull my knees to my chest wrapping my arms around my legs and putting my head down. The lyrics going through my mind making me think about how much I wish I could leave this city, I feel like I've always been stuck in this place and now I just want to break free from it all, go on an adventure, run away, heck get kidnapped if that's what it takes...Which hopefully isn't.

I hum along to the music and get lost in thought until I feel someone tap me on my shoulder, but I don't even bother looking up, there is no one I could possibly want to talk to right now.

"You do know I could hear your music from where I was standing in line right?"

I shrugged, still not looking up, " your welcome" I reply with an attitude, don't judge, I hate Mondays. It took him a minute, probably surprised at my comment, before I heard him walk away. who cares if people could hear my music, I had to hear the stupid radio playing at my job all day, only difference is, my music is actually good.

I got lost in my thoughts again and only snapped back to reality when I heard an alert on my phone, reminding me that my shift at the music store across the street started in ten minutes. I opened my eyes and noticed a note on a napkin placed under my cup:

"So maybe this isn't your weekend but I promise it'll be your year!" :)

The note made me smile, the fact that whoever left this for me hadn't signed it got me looking at everyone in here wondering if he was still in sight, no one seemed to be looking at me or anything so I tried ignoring the way I felt and walked out.

I waited for the light to change and crossed the street. The little bell over the door announcing me, I could hear a few clients playing with some guitars in one corner, nothing unusual, kids would come here to have jamming sessions almost every afternoon, except whoever were playing now weren't kids, they really knew their stuff.

I went behind the counter so Alyssa, my coworker, could have her break and I started arranging papers and putting everything in order for the day. The guys started playing a song I knew all too well and my heart skipped a beat when I heard one of them singing it, it couldn't really be him could it?!

I started walking towards them, almost in a trance, I recognized them immediately, I couldn't believe it! I just stood there with the stupidest grin plastered on my face as I listened to the rest of the song, suddenly they stopped and looked up at me.

"hey! It's you again! I think this is more than a coincidence, did you get the note? "

The note? that was them? And I had basically told them to piss off, what the hell was wrong with me?! the guy I knew to be Jack nudged Alex who was nervously playing with his watch. Was he mad at me? I must of looked like a complete loser while they waited for a reaction from me.

I couldn't move so imagine talking... I was totally star struck. Jack walked over to me and stuck out his hand, I hesitated before shaking hands, then out of nowhere he pulled me into a hug.

"I think someone's got a crush on you" he whispered before letting me go and winking to me as he went back behind Alex,when he was out of his sight he pointed at him before making a heart with his hands and winking at me again making the other guys laugh discreetly, not letting Alex in on their joke, I blushed and giggled.

"I think I wouldn't mind" I said, going completely red. Alex was still starring at me, I looked down at my feet wishing I knew what to say. Your name idiot! I screamed at myself inside my head, start with your name!

"Uh, I'm Kelsey..."

Just then my boss came walking in "Kelsey!" He shouted, "Time to get back to work or else I'll have to take an hour off of your pay check."

I sighed and walked back behind the counter kinda bummed, Alex is so hot... I thought as I got to work, I kept looking at them and tried listening in to their conversation while I was organizing papers but they were being really quiet, whispering among each other.

I was trying so hard not to scream out and act like the obsessed fan I really am, I had to stay calm, be cool I told myself, you ONLY ignored the most awesome guy in the world at Starbucks and then got a second chance to meet them...

This was most certainly the luckiest day of my life.

A/N:
