Annabell 'Forgotten Proxy'

Chapter 15

“Girl I've got you under a spell and I don't think I'll be letting you out.” The crowd sang along with the lead singer Nicholas Matthews. Toby was holding my hand and we were both head banging to the music. Suddenly I heard Toby start to sing as he was head banging. I couldn’t help but to look at him and smile. It was the first time I had ever heard him sing. Although the music was really loud I tuned out everyone but Toby.

After Get Scared went off stage, I had found that Toby had V.I.P tickets for backstage. “Oh my God, Toby! How?” I asked in surprise.

“I had to give the best girl in the world a dream come true. Oh and these aren’t just any V.I.P tickets. These are special. They are the only ones that will allow you back, back stage, you know to where all the ands hang out.” I couldn’t believe it.

“Toby, I’m gonna cry!” We walked backstage, showing the security our tickets. We walked to a back room where the band was sitting on a couch relaxing. One of the band members seen us and stood up to greet us.

“Hey you guys must be the lucky ones who got the backstage V.I.P’s.” he said. “I’m Nick.” He held his hand out for a handshake.

I was trying not to scream or faint. “Hi! I’m Annabell!” I said excitingly. We shook hands and he turned to Toby.

“T-toby.” He said with a smile.

“Nice.” Two other band members stood up and came to great us.

“Hey I’m Johnny.”

“I’m Brad.” Brad also went by Lloyd. He had to be one of the funniest people in the band.

“So how is your Valentine’s Day going so far?” Nick said.

“Very exciting actually. I woke to rose pedals on the floor leading to a special breakfast. I was asked to marry, and I got to come to your concert. It’s like a dream come true.” I said as I turned to Toby, recalling what he had said earlier.

“Oh wow. Sounds like you have a good man on your hands.” Said Lloyd. Toby smiled, making me smile even bigger.

“Yea I guess I do.”

“So how old are you two?” Asked Johnny.

“I just turned 18. Toby is,” I went to say how old Toby was when I realized that I had no idea how old he was. For all I knew he could be five years older than me.

“I’m 20.” Toby said quickly after he noticed that I wasn’t going to answer. He was 20, two years older than me.

We spent the rest of our time on the couch with the band. We got to know each other so well that we ended up with all of their phone numbers in case we wanted to talk to them. We also got some signed pictures, and a couple “selfies” with each band member. It had truly been the best day of my life.
