Memories

Part 1

It was the Hot Chelle Rae concert. I couldn't believe it was finally here! The best part was I bought the tickets the second they went on sale. We were front row and I was stoked. I was there with my best friend Jessica and she had borrowed her mom's mini van to drive to the venue which was about three hours from where I lived in Tennessee. We left super early to ensure our spot in line even though our seats were reserved. We waited anxiously until they opened the gates to run inside and sit down. After awhile the lights went dim and the band ran out on stage. First Nash, then Ian, Jamie, and Ryan. They went through almost their whole set before i realized the concert was almost over and I hadn't gotten my chance to hand my note to Ryan so we could try and sneak back stage after. Then all of a sudden, he reached down to me and pulled me on stage. Oh my god! At every concert Ryan pulls a fan up on stage to sing the rap paet of I Like It Like That. He began the song and we were dancing and I was singing trying not to lose my balance and fall on my butt. When it was my turn to sing, I grabbed the microphone and began rapping. Ryan grabbed the mic back and I continued dancing again. When the song ended he gave me a quick hug and thanked the crowd for coming. I was confussed about what to do until Nash walked over to me after he had thrown his guitar pick into the crowd of screaming fans. He chuckled a little bit.

 "That was great!" said Nash. "Thanks! I guess..." I gave him a smile then followed him off stage to meet the rest of the crew.  "Can I go get my friend? She's probably waiting for me." I asked a rather large man that was poking at his Blackberry. He looked up at me, "Sure! I'll come with you so you can get back here again." Said the man, he followed me out and we met Jessica right outside the stage door where she was arguing with a security guard.  "But my friend is back there without a pass!" she yelled.  "Calm down Jess!" I grabbed her arm and pulled her in through the doors leading a long dim lit hallway. "Ok so are you ready to meet the guys?" the man asked.  "Of course!" I squealed. I was trying so hard to keep from bouncing up and down from excitement. He led us to a room further back from where we came in where they must have been holding the meet and greets. As soon as we walked in I realized there was a huge line leading to a table where the band was supposed to sit.   "Are you kidding me?" I shouted above all the talking. Everyone looked at me and I felt my cheeks turn red.  "It's ok girls. You're the last in line so you'll have as much time as you want with them." said the man. "Sweet!" Jess said under her breath. "Oh my gosh I finally get to meet Jamie Follese!" I said with a huge grin on my face. Jessica and I talked for awhile until the guys came out and sat down, each of them with a bottle of water. People started screaming and I had to cover my ears because it was so loud and the room was so small. I got shakier and shakier the closer we got. When we were finally the next in line, I pulled a stick of minty gum out of my back pocket and popped it into my mouth.  'Good thinking!' I  thought to myself. The group of girls ahead of us had finally left when I grabbed Jessica's wrist and pulled her in front of me.  "Why are you doing!?" she said of in a shouting whisper.  "You go first!" I said as I pushed her forwards.  "Hello ladies. How's it going?" Ian asked us with a smile pasted on his face. Oh Ian, you're so handsome with those beautiful black curls.  "Great! How about you guys?" Jessica asked politely.  "We're doing great. Did you have a fun tonight?" Ryan asked.  "Of course we did!" Jessica seems to be answering all the questions. Unfair! I stepped forward and it all just came pouring out of me.  "Hi! I'm Macie. I had such a good time tonight and I am a HUGE fan of you guys. Especially Jamie." Oh my gosh! I can't believe I just said that out loud! He looked down at his hands but I could see him smiling. I gave him a slight grin in return.  "Can we get a picture with you guys?" thank god Jessica broke the silence.  "Of course!" Nash said. I handed my camera to the guy that was designated to take pictures for everyone. The band got out from behing the table and gathered with us to smile for a quick pic. The man with my camera finished up and I rushed over to grab it to jam it back into its case.  "Thank you!" I said with a smile then stumbled back over to our group. Jessica was saying goodbye and gave them all hugs. I guess I was next!  "Thank you so much for the great show tonight!" I gave Ian, Nash, Ryan a hug but Jamie had something else in mind. He pulled me aside from the rest of the group to talk and luckily Jessica noticed and kept the rest of the guys talking so they wouldn't notice. "Hey, umm what's up?" I asked him. I was curious. "You're from Tennessee, right?" he asked.  "Uhh... Yes! I am from here! And I still live here. Up towards Nashville." I responded, while staring into his bluish green eyes. God he was so cute!  "Me too! I think we used to go to school together..." Oh my gosh... That's why he looked so familiar when I first started liking the band! "Really?" I was trying to make it sound like I hadn't remembered. "Uh yea." He said nervously, he was staring at the ground, "Look, you're really pretty... And i was wondering if I could have your number." He looked at the ground then looked up to meet my eyes. I broke the gaze and cleared my throat,  "Of course! Do you have something to write with?" He pulled his iPhone out of his pocket and poked at the screen for a minute.  "Here, just put your name and number in. I'll call you sometime!" I smiled and took the phone out of his hand. I did what he told me to and saved it so I could hand it back to him.  "Thanks." He said. We walked back to the group and Jess and I said our last goodbyes with hugs, and for Jamie, a kiss on the cheek. I hugged him and whispered in his ear,  "Call me." 

*4 days later*

I was so bored and it had been 4 days since the concert and Jamie still hadn't called. *VVVVVV* My phone vibrated in my lap. I picked it up and answered the call. "Hello?"  "Hi is this Macie?" "Uh yeah, can I ask who's calling?" "It's Jamie."  "Jamie? Hi! What's up?" I said excitedly.  "Well I'm calling to ask if you wanted to go out sometime?" He's so polite! "Oh my gosh! Of course! When? Where? I mean... I would love to go out with you. What did you have in mind?" I totally just screwed that up.  "Do you like mini golf?" He asked. "Yes! I love mini golf! My dad used to take me all the time." my dad passed away when I was seven and I haven't talked about him since the 6th grade. Tears began to well up in my eyes.  'Hold it together!' I told myself.  "Ok well are you free Friday night at 6? We can grab a bite to eat then go golfing." "Yeah! Absolutely!" I was about to jump off the couch and bounce through the ceiling.  "Great! I'll pick you up at 5:30." I could hear the smile in his voice. I pulled my phone away from my ear and pressed the end button. then smiled. But wait, it was only Wednesday and I had to wait until Friday! Oh boy, this is going to be a long week.

*Friday night, 5:13 PM*

Wow, he will be here any minute! I'm so excited. I was wearing my favorite ripped skinny jeans and a cute pink top that was short in the front to show a little bit of my belly but the back was longer to cover my you know what. *ding dong*  "I got it!" I heard my mom yell from downstairs.  "MOM! NO!!!" I bolted down the stairs and slid in front of her to block her from opening the door.  "Jeez sorry! I didn't know you were expecting someone."  "Well I am so go away!" I yelled. Whew. That was close. I'm not ready for him to meet my psycho mother. I straitened myself up and opened the door.  "Hi." I said with a polite smile.  "Hi. Are you ready?"  "Uh, yea. Just hold on a second!" I swiftly walked into the kitchen to grab my purse.  "Who's that boy at the door?" I hear my mom say from behind the counter.  "A friend."  "Where are you planning on going?" she asked suspiciously. "We're going mini golfing." I replied with a sly smirk. I walked back out of the kitchen to avoid any more questions.  "Ok let's go!" we walked out of the door and I shut it firmly behind me to ensure my mother wouldn't follow. He was a few paces ahead of me so he politely opened the passenger door for me to step in to take my seat. He drove a white Prius and I could tell he was proud of it. He walked me to the passenger side and opened to door for me to sit down. I took my spot and he shut the door to jog over to the driver side. He got in and started the car,   "Where to?"  ______________________________________________________
