''Have fun at your concert! You need to get me an autograph!'' I say with a laugh. ''Sure thing, Lace. I'll talk to you later!'' Lauren, my cousin, replies. I smile and hang up. I pout to myself. Stupid cancer. I sigh and lay back on my bed.
Lauren gets to go to an Of Mice and Men concert, which is my favorite band. I can't because I have cancer. Whoo.. Well, I was diagnosed 2 years ago with Bronchial carcinoids, which is a type of lung cancer. It's not fun at all.
I can't go to the concert because it might mess up my tubes and such. I sigh and go to my big stereo. I plug my phone in and Trick or Treat by Ghost Town comes on. I smile and sing along. I lay back on my bed and grab my notebook.
Bucket list:
Of Mice and Men concert
I frown and lay the notebook back down. Maybe, hopefully one day I can go to one.
The hours pass by and soon enough, Lauren calls me. ''I'LL BE AT YOUR HOUSE IN THREE MINUTES.'' She says and hangs up. I chuckle and end the call. I plug my phone back up and just dance around.
I check my outfit, just in case she brought over Max or anyone. Simple jeans, and a grey Suicide Silence sweatshirt. Eh, this will be good enough. Blood by In This Moment comes on and I grin. I turn the music up louder and sing along.
The doorbell rings, so I go to the door, not bothering to turn the music down because Lauren and I usually play it even louder than what I have. I open the door to come face to face with Alan Ashby. ''Hi!'' He says with a huge grin on his face.
''Lauren? How..?'' I ask as they come into my house. ''I told them about you and they wanted to meet you.'' She says with shrug. I laugh and continue into the living room. I quickly run to my room and turn down my music. I take in a deep breath and go back into the living room.
''Hi, I'm Alan Ashby, but you obviously know that.'' He says motioning to my Of Mice and Men bracelets. I blush and laugh. ''I'm Lace. Nice to meet you.'' I say. ''LACE IS SUCH A COOL NAME OH MY GOD.'' Tino says making me laugh. ''Thank you, Tino is such and awesome name.'' I say. He laughs and nods his head in agreement.
The guys introduce each other and when Austin did, he pulled me into a huge hug. ''Hi, I'm Austin! It's wonderful to meet you!'' He says. I laugh and hug him back. ''It's an honor to meet you, honestly.'' I say, rubbing my arm. He blushes softly and laughs. ''Awe, thanks!'' He says.
''Can I please use your bathroom? Aaron wouldn't let me.'' Alan pouts. I smirk. ''Right down the hallway on the left.'' I say. He smiles and runs down the hallway. I laugh and turn to the guys. ''You guys hungry?'' I ask. ''YESS!'' They all say. I laugh and walk into the kitchen. I frown when I realize I haven't been grocery shopping in awhile.
''Guys, I realized I haven't been grocery shopping in awhile. I'm sorry.'' I apologize. ''We could all go, we don't have to go anywhere. Tonight was the last of the tour, and fortunately close to where we live.'' Austin says behind me, making me jump. ''Oh! Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.'' He says with a chuckle. I laugh and regain my breath. ''Are you sure?'' I ask. ''Totally. C' mon. We'll have fun, trust me.'' He says. I laugh and nod. ''Okay, let us go!'' I scream and go to my room, Austin following behind me.
He looks at my room in awe. I laugh. ''What?'' I ask. He grins. ''You have my quotes on your walls.'' He says and traces over the one over my bed. ''Music gives me a voice. And that's one of the only things I've ever wanted.'' It reads. I smile.
''Yeah, you were my biggest inspiration when I got diagnosed. I put these up and whenever I saw them, I'd smile and think, Dang, if I ever get a chance, I need to thank him.'' I say. He grins. ''So thank you.'' I say. He smiles. ''I'm glad I could help.'' He says.
I grab my Jack Skellington bag and look at him. ''Ready?" He asks. ''Yup, let's go.'' I say. We walk back into the living room. ''You wanna go with us to the grocery store?" Austin asks. The guys nod and cheer. I laugh and we leave my house. I look over at Lauren and mouth, "OH MY GOD!" She nods her head in agreement and laughs.
On the ride to the store, we blare Attila and laugh at the weird look people gave us. Some would glare, and I would flip them off. We don't need their negativity. I laugh and pull into the store's parking lot. We pile out of the car and make our way into the store.
