I rolled over on the ridiculously uncomfortable sofa, I groaned. I remembered where I was, some crappy flat in Sheffield where I know nobody. Great thought to start the day with, I know.

I spent the day rearranging the flat, as it was already furnished.

Looking extremely indie I nervously walked into a quite quiet pub. A guy wolf whistled me, I carried on walking to the bar for a drink. I didn't scan around the room, my eyes were set on the bartender.

"A coke with Malibu please" I said as the guy leaned forward to me. He nodded and prepared my drink, I paid him and sat down on a stool. I scrolled through my Instagram feed, I came across a picture of Alex Turner I double tapped my iPhone before I was double tapped.

"Oi lass, it's you again in'tit?" I heard. I turned around to see the guy from yesterday.

"Yeah" I replied.

"You like Alex then?" He asked sitting down next to me.

"Who doesn't?" I laughed.

"You'd be surprised, I'm his manger. PA kinda thing, in'it" he said as he sipped his clear drink.

"Really?" I asked surprised.

"Ya know he's about two metres away from ya" the man smiled. I smiled as I looked over to four guys sitting at a table laughing. "Paul" the guy said holding his as out.

"Dion" I smiled taking his hand.

"Come with me lass"

I followed Paul with my drink in hand over to the Arctic Monkeys, I repeat THE FRICKIN ARCTIC MONKEYS! I came over sweaty as Alex, Alex Turner looked up.

"Kids, this is Dion, a fan" Paul laughed.

"Aha, I'm too old to be a fan!" I laughed, nervously.

"You're never too old to be a fan, I love fans!" Jamie said, I looked at him. He looked different close up. I blushed slightly and shuffled back.

"Alex believe it or not is actually shy, bet ya didn't know that"

"Hmm, well, not really" I smiled.

" 'ello Dion, weren't it?" Alex said rising from his chair. I nodded as I caught a smell of cigaret smoke.

"Join uz, we ain't got nothin' intrestin' to talk about!" Alex said tightly hugging me.

"Okay" I chuckled as Alex gently pushed me into the chair he was sitting on. He pulled up another chair beside me for him.

"So, seem uz in concet?" Matt asked as I was sitting next to him, I say sitting I was perched on the edge of the seat.

"Yeah Finsbury Park back in May" I smiled nodding.

"They were good nights" Jamie laughed.

"Amazing, I came to both nights" I smiled

"Really?" Alex asked

"Yes, them train fairs are expensive!" I laughed.

"And the tickets?" Nick asked.

"I only paid for one night" I smiled

"Oo lil' rebel, how'd you manage that?" Nick asked.

"I was an officer assistant, my sisters a Met officer" I said.

"Where did you come from?" Alex asked looking into my eyes.

"Kent the first night and Chelsea the second!" I smiled.

"Don't sound too bad, you probably paid a million tickets for ya shower that day" Alex smiled.

"I did indeed" I smiled. I was having a convo with Alex turner...ALEX TURNER. I smiled like a clown until I realised what I probably looked like.
