Amara's POV
*America Present Day*
I wake up to the beginning notes of 'Get Higher' by Palaye Royale. Also known as the best band in the world. I get out of bed and start dancing around my room while singing along. After the song ends, I am standing in the middle of my room, breathless. I turn to look at my calendar to see what I have going on that would have me wake up so early, and start freaking out when I see that today is the day. Today is the day that I am finally seeing Palaye live and in person!
After calming myself down I run and take a quick shower. After I get out, I get dressed in a Mr. Doctor Man shirt, black ripped skinny jeans and my favorite pair of combat boots. I top it off with my worn, leather jacket. I then go and do my hair and makeup. Simply leaving my long, black hair straight and I create a makeup look similar to Remington's using their 'Palette Royale'. The colors make my pale, blue eyes stand out. Finishing the look with a wine color lipstick, I look at myself in the mirror.
For as long as I can remember, I have always felt like a piece of me was missing. Music, particularly Palaye's music, has filled that void but it never felt complete. And while I love all three brothers, I have always felt closer to Remington. I know they say that you can't choose your favorite band member, but there is just something about him. It feels as if I've met him before which is ridiculous since tonight is going to be the first time I am seeing them live.
As I am putting my makeup away, my front door flys open and all I see is a streak of blonde before it crashes into me. I look up in panic just to see that it is just my best friend, Emily.
"What the hell, Em?" I yell as I get up and lightly punch her in the arm. "Ow! Hey! That hurt! You're wearing your rings." She says with a fake pout. I offer her a hand pull her up from her kneeling position. I haven't known her for very long, only around two or three years but we became best friends very quickly. She is very pretty with light blonde hair, fair skin, and one blue eye and one eye so dark it looks almost black. She is also never seen without her signature red lipstick.
"So are you ready to head down to the venue?" Emily asks me while bouncing up and down excitedly like a child hopped up on sugar. "Do you really have to ask me that? That's like asking Emerson if he wants some trumoo." I reply, my voice dripping with sass.
"Ok well than Miss Sass. Let's go then." She says. I go and grab my bad and the bag of goodies I have for the boys. We leave my house and drive the forty five minute journey to the venue. All the while blasting Palaye. Eventually we make it to the venue and see that we are the first people there. Emily parks the car and we go and wait by the venue doors. The line steadily grows longer as time goes on.
All of a sudden, I start freaking out and slapping Emily's arm. "What is with you and hitting me today?" She asks a bit annoyed. "Look! It's their tour bus!" I point over to the black bus. After I calm down(again) we start debating on who will be the first to come out. I said Remington and she said Sebastian. We were both wrong when Luis was the one to come out the door first. He filmed the line for Royal Television and then rounded up everyone who had VIP, which Emily and I had. After everyone was rounded up, we were taken towards the tour bus. The two of us decided to sit towards the back of the small group.
After a few minutes the three Palaye boys walk onto the bus from wherever they had just been. Sebastian walks towards the bunks, presumably to get his acoustic guitar. Remington sat in the bottom bunk closest to the group while Emerson sat across from him. Sebastian quickly returns with his guitar. The three boys play a few songs before starting the Q&A. Some people asked silly questions such as if Sebastian still burns potatoes and what the worst pronunciation they've heard of their band name was.
VIP soon ended and we made our way into the venue. Emily and I were lucky enough to get barricade. I look next to me to see who was next to me and I see a pretty girl with wavy, black hair, brown eyes, and sandy colored skin with freckles. "Hi, I'm Amara. Is this your first time seeing Palaye Royale live?" I say to the girl. "Hi! My name is Karina! And no, I've seen them live twice." I talk with her for a little bit before turning back towards Emily. I see her talking to another pretty girl with brown hair, green eyes and a light skin tone who I learn is named Alex.
Soon enough the house lights dim and the first opening band comes out and performs. A second band comes out after them and plays before Palaye finally take the stage. Emerson starts playing the beginning beats of 'Don't Feel Quite Right' before Sebastian joins in. Remington then runs onto the stage and begins singing. After that they play 'Death Dance', 'You'll Be Fine', 'Masochist', 'Hospital Beds', their cover of 'Teenagers', and finally 'Get Higher'.
Remington is singing his heart out when he looks at me and nearly stops. What just happened? They finish the song and then say that they will be at their merch table. The four of us go and wait on line to meet them. When it is our turn, I go up to Sebastian and hug him first and then I hug Emerson. When I go up to Remington, he has a strange look on his face but it soon disappears.
"Hi! Have we met before? It feels like we have." He asks me. "No, this is the first time I've been to a show." I reply. I then have my picture taken and wait for Emily and the other girls. After they get their photos, we say goodbye and go our separate ways. Once we get to my house, Emily crashes onto the couch and I head to my bedroom and fall asleep.
Remington's POV
After meeting fans for about three hours, I make my way back to the tour bus. Once I am back on the bus, I begin pacing. My brothers are looking at me weird but I really don't care.
"Oh my god. I can't believe it." I repeat over and over quietly. I continue pacing while my mind tries to comprehend what just happened.
"What is wrong with him?" I hear Sebastian whisper to Emerson. "I think he's finally lost it." He replies back to him. After shooting a glare at the both of them I say, "It's her. I know it."
"Who is 'her'?" Emerson asks completely puzzled.
I look him dead in the eye and say, "It's her. It's Amara. My beloved."
Hello again! Well here is the next chapter! I hope you all like it. A quick thing, I based the relationship between Amara and Emily off of the relationship I have between my own very close friend she's practically family, Emily. I also used a few things such as the arm slapping when seeing the tour bus because I did that to my friend Jackie when I saw Palaye in person the very first time at Warped Tour and at the Final Boom show I went to. 😂 I've also begun including the characters people gave me when I asked on Twitter. I have a scene for later on in the story to include a lot of them so if you don't see your character for a little bit, don't worry, you will appear. I also want to thank Alex (@/cudgyemerson on Twitter) for making such a beautiful cover for my story!! I love it so much Alex!! Don't forget to tell me what think! Bye! 😊💜
