Warped Romance (Calum Hood Fanfiction)

Chapter 2: Past Blasts

*Addy POV*

With so many bands and attractions to take in at Warped, Quinn and I decided we’d split up and take in some festivities before meeting up for the main event later in the day. And I was kind of starting to feel a certain way about our decision.

“You’ve got to be kidding” I sighed to myself. “You leave for two minutes…” I groaned.

  I got to the stage early enough to scope out the best spot to see the action but I went to restroom to empty my bladder and reapply SPF and just like a savanna watering hole, the fans flocked, leaving me slim pickings, not ideal conditions for someone lacking in the height department.

  “Did everyone have to be six feet tall?!” I sigh trying to find a space.

“Need a lift?” a voice said from behind me. Before I almost gave the lad a proper lashing, I recognized him.

“Oh my gosh, Michael?!” I gasped. Michael Clifford, an old schoolmate from high school.

  He was kind of my best friend, not to say we didn’t keep tabs on each other on social media and all, our paths just never seemed to cross until now. After so many years, it’s good to see him.

“In the flesh” he smiled.

“How long has it been? It’s good to see you dude!” I hugged him “You’re looking good” 

“Thank You!” he smiled “I try” he teased

“Same old Michael” I laughed.

“Yeah, I guess some things never change” he shrugged “But for real, you look good”

“Thank You! Are the boys here?” I asked. The boys, being Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings, and Ashton Irwin, also former schoolmates and friends.

“Yeah, they’re around, Cal and Luke are over at the East stage”

“So what brings you to west stage?”

“Did you think I’d miss a LANY performance?” I laughed.

“Yeah you’re right. So, you’re flying solo?” I asked.

“Not exactly…”

“Mike! I thought you’d left me.”

“No Ash, you just walk slow” Michael laughed.

“How’s it going Addy? Long time no see” he smiled, that big, intoxicating, dimpled smile of his.

“Uhhhm yeah” I stuttered. Why did I have to be like this? “So, you’re here with Mike and the guys?” I stated the obvious like a child.

“Yeah” he smiled, running his hand through his hair “Are you taking in the set?”

“Well, I tried” I shrugged “It’s not exactly short person accessible.” I joked.

“Yeah” he chuckled “Want a lift?”

“Wh-what?”

“Do you want to see or not?”

“Well, yeah. I just didn’t expect…..” he cut me off.
  “I’m not asking twice” He asserted

“Well, then, okay” I shrugged.

I take back my previous statement.
