Badboy // M.C.

Chapter 14

LISTEN TO THE SONG IN THE LINK AND ENJOY!!!

Today was the day. Michael had the big gig and I was going to be there to support him. He's picking me up at 4 so the guys have time to do sound check before the other band. They perform at 7. I'm so excited. It's already 1 so I should really take a shower. I slept in until about noon because I was up all night talking to Michael.

I went into my bathroom. After turning the water on to adjust the heat, I remove my striped pajama pants and my add Sheeran t-shirt. Being very careful, I step into the water and let it consume me. Its always the best time to think.

I dry my hair off and end up crimping it to give it a bit more edge. I wanna look extra cool just because I know Michael will want to look "punk rock" and I'll be with the band all night. I settle a pair of grey skinny jeans and my DARE shirt that had a couple holes in it. I will pair that with my leather jacket and studded combat boots. Michael won't know what hit him.

I look at my phone to check the time and it's already 3. I received a text from Michael and an unknown number. I open Michael's first, of course.

From: Michael <3
2:49 pm

Can't wait to see you. I've been practicing all morning. Be ready 4 o clock sharp.

I respond to my boyfriend by telling him I'm almost ready and how excited I am to see him perform tonight.

I open the second text just to become unimpressed.

From: Unknown
2:51 pm

Hey, just wanted to tell you to wear something hot -Ash

I roll my eyes and delete the conversation. I refuse to let Ashton ruin today for anybody. It's a big mile stone for 5 Seconds of Summer and I can't wait to see what happens to them after this. More fans, more notice, more everything. Maybe a little less me, but hopefully Michael won't forget about me.

I apply my dark blue eyeliner and some mascara. I decide to go fairly simple on my eyes and deep red lips. Perfect. I take one last look in the mirror and go downstairs to wait for Michael.

We arrive to a small arena. It's not huge, but it can hold about a thousand. I've heard from Calum that it's not quite sold out, but it's somewhat close. Nevertheless, this is their biggest audience and I'm so excited for them.

"You look amazing by the way," Michael says getting his guitar and his amp out of the back seat. I still love his car, even if he struggled to fit everything in it. I can feel my cheeks turning pink. He calls me pretty or beautiful almost everyday, but it still makes me smile.

"Thanks. You look pretty goo-" I stop myself and look closer at his face as we walk towards the back entrance. "Are you wearing eye liner?" I ask.

"Oh, yeah." He just shrugs. "I thought it would make my eyes pop more on stage and make me look a little cooler." He shrugs again. I'm holding in a laugh and he's trying to hold back an embarrassed smile. He looks so cute, but it's a little weird. "I brought some for the other guys, too." At that moment, I lose it and start laughing. He gives me a look.

I stop laughing so hard and just keep a smile on my face. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Where did you even get it?" I hold the door open for him so he can fit his amp and guitar inside.

I hear him mumble something, and he looks even more embarrassed by the way he's holding his head towards the ground.

"What?" I ask now hurting because I'm laughing so hard. He's such a weirdo.

"You, okay?" he says, still blushing, but looking kind of annoyed. "You are such an annoying girlfriend, my god!" he tells me.

We are now inside looking for a place to go. I can hear guitar strumming and motion for Michael to follow me. He nods, still a bit embarrassed with his pink cheeks, and we find a room with Luke and Calum. They are both stumming on their guitars, Luke on his usual one and Calum on bass.
