"Come on Brittany. We are going to be late!"

"I am coming Jessica! just let me say bye to Brad real quick." I yelled from the front door.

I was waiting for my "night and shinning armor" to answer the door so I could say good bye and give him back his sweatshirt. You know I am kind of over college relationships. They always end the same. A guy tells you he loves you then you hook up only to wake up by yourself. Only with Brad it is different. We have been at this game for about two years now. We love each other then we hate each other. This time though, I am really done.

"Well, well look who it is. Coming back for more I see." Brad said with a smirk on his face. He was wearing his typical college frat boy outfit. Khaki pants with a blue button down shirt and his hair nicely combed and perfectly placed. Gross if you ask me.

"Get over yourself Brad. I was just bringing back your sweatshirt and telling you that it is over." I gave him a "soft smile" and dropped his sweatshirt by his feet.

"Whatever Brittany. We always do this. You break up with me then we have sex and then we are back together again. It has been going on for two years now. Since high school. Just keep the jacket and where in the hell are you going? You look like trash?"

I looked down at my outfit. A torn up band tee with a red cardigan over it, a blue leather mini skirt, and my white high top converses. I thought I looked fine but at this college pearls and high heels are the right not torn band tees. Another reason why I hate college. If you don"t look the part then you are a nobody.

"Oh please don't tell me you are going to see that dumb band." Brad hissed

I rolled my eyes, stomped on his sweatshirt, and turned to walk away. Brad grabbed my arm and pulled me close so that his mouth was close to my ear.

"Don't forget about the other night. If I remember correctly you told me you loved me. So don't go dropping your panties tonight to worthless band geeks. We all know that tomorrow you will be the same preppy Brittany we all love and you will be back in my arms at a frat party."

I ripped my arm away from his grip. "It was pity love because we all know nobody would ever love you. Also, if I remember correctly you were the one who dropped their panties first, so try and keep them up tonight alright?"

I turned and headed for the car. Brad was such a douche. He always acted like he owned me. I was tired of that. I just wanted to be my own person. When I got in the car, Jessica was smirking at me.

"What?"

"Oh come on. You know you will go running back to him. You two are meant to be together. When your not fighting you guys are perfect for each other."

I rolled my eyes. "Can you just drive please? I just wanna get to the concert and not think about anything. Also, I want front row."

"Of course! Why else would we be leaving four hours before the concert starts? I couldn't think of anything better to do then to sit outside in this heat for four hours." Jessica put the car into drive and started towards the interstate.

"Shut up. You know you want front row. You wanna get just as close to Luke as I to Ashton." 

Jessica smiled widely at me. She reached into her back seat and pulled out a CD. Jessica always reminded me of a older sister. She can deal with chaos and drama but she never breaks a sweat. Her hair was always perfectly styled and she always wore the simplest of make up. I'm not really sure how we became friends.

Once the CD was in and ready to play, she turned it to She Looks So Perfect and turned the volume all the way up. I introduced the band 5 Seconds of Summer to Jessica one night after a frat party when she was totally wasted. She never let me play my music out loud so I decided to take advantage of the situation. Yes of course I turned it up way loud and was dancing around the room like i was high (I wasn't though) To my surprise, Jessica started to dance with me. We danced and sang to the whole album until people started to bang on our door. The next morning Jessica asked me what the name of the band was and from then on it was history. She is in love.

We jammed the whole way to the concert. Our hair blowing in the fall breeze and our voices traveling through the air. We live in a small town in the state of Mississippi; Water Green. There wasn't much to see and their was only fields and barns. Yes we live in the country but no I was far from country. Our college, Water Green University, was split into two. The hillbillies who wore camouflage and never showed up to class because they were hunting and then there was the high class people, who wore pears and high heels. If you want to be a somebody then you need to be part of the high class; but then there was me. Just alone in my own messed up world. I always wore rugged clothes and boots. I guess you can say I'm a no one.

Jessica and I made it to the concert venue in 15 mins. We parked the car, grabbed our posters, and headed for the front door. There was about 20 girls in front of us and they seemed jittery like they were on speed or high off of coffee.

"Can you believe we are actually here? Like this is probably the best thing that has ever happened to us. I mean other than getting into a sorority and living on our own or whatever. It's still pretty amazing." Jessica said a little to fast."You know I have heard that they normally pick a girl out of the crowd and takes them back stage when the concert is over." Jessica whispered in my ear, "So don't wait up okay?" I just rolled my eyes and started laughing at her.

Jessica was a pretty girl. She has long, skinny legs and perfectly straight blonde hair. She looks like she has never had a pimple in her life and her teeth coudn't get any whiter. Also she has pretty big boobs and that seems to get her all the boys. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the boys did pick her. I on the other hand was not that pretty. I have curly brown hair and my legs weren't that skinny. I was kind of short for my age and my boobs aren't that big. My face normally has at least one pimple on it and my teeth aren't glowing white. Standing next to Jessica, I was just plain UGLY.

"Jessica, do you seriously think that they would pick us out of the hundreds of girls they normally see?"

"Uh YES! This is probably their smallest concert and they are staying here for a few days. I think they would pick us because we are smoking hot and we are like the only ones here their age." Jessica was pretty confident about this. I didn't want to be the one to kill her mood. I mean come on, if they did pull people out of the crowd it wouldn't be us.

3 hours went by and they finally opened up the doors. It was crazy. Girls were pushing left and right and trampling over other girls. Jessica grabbed my hand and took off. We were running all right. Jessica was pushing every girl in front of us out of the way. After a few "Fuck you's" and a few "sluts" we made it to the front row. No we weren't dead center but we were a little to the right. Enough for Ashton to notice me if he looked this way.

"Lets take a selfie, Brooke. This will probably be the best day and I want a picture!"

Jessica and I turned with our backs to the stage and snapped a quick selfie. We were to excited. We were bouncing up and down and giggling. We just wanted the concert to start all ready. 

As soon as we were about to give up our spots to go pee the lights go out. Everyone started screaming and colorful lights lit up the stage. The strum of a guitar got everyone going and the next thing we knew, the boys were walking onto the stage.

"Hi guys, We are 5 Seconds of Summer"
