Give Me Time (M.C.)

Chapter 2 The Concert

A few weeks later, the concert finally came! I curled my long brown hair and wore a pair of jean shorts with a top that had a bow on the back. Ashley (My best friend) picked me up from my apartment building. The place where the concert was only a few blocks away though, we wanted to get there early. I was so excited to be in the front row and see the band upfront. Then see them backstage. (If only I knew what happened in the next chapter of my life!) This was an easy way to get away from my studies in college, I was shooting for my bachelor degree. Ashley and me babbled the entire way but, when we finally got there was luckily enough parking to be right in front of the stadium. I was pretty much screaming and told Ashley I immediately wanted to go backstage. After we agreed that she would lay on her and my seats, I ran up the stairs of the stage and ran to the back. "I CAN'T BELIVE IM DOING THIS!!!" I whisper to myself. I look around for band members, Luke walked into one of the dressing areas, fighting the urge to follow him was extremely hard. I glanced around again when two very buff men approached me. I simply flashed my pass and they immediately disregarded me. The concert was about to start, so I ran back to my seat where nearly asleep Ashley was laying "Move!! They're setting up!!" I yell at her. She sits up in a grumpy manner and begins texting her boyfriend, Derrek. I was single but had many online dating accounts, I've been holding up this one guy name Jacob for weeks now. Online relationships never last so I don't get my hopes up. Me and Ashley watch as more people file into the stadium behind us; We had perfect seats very close to the front. I wish that the seats were in the very front but, the seats we had were made perfect so they could see us. "What are you thinking about? You're doing it again.." Ashley said, she's always worried. "Micheal." I reply in an emotionless voice. She rolls her eyes. Ashley and I have been best friends since 4th Grade, she's been worried about me since junior year of high school. She stayed up until she had to wake up for school to talk me out of suicide, she came to my house that day and made me say compliments about myself. Now she never lets me near rope or never let's me cook/chop stuff alone. I heard the strum of a guitar and left my thoughts. It was starting, "HOW ARE YOU ALL DOING?!?" Luke and Calum yelled in the microphone together. After a few minutes of Luke thanking the fans, they began to sing a cover of Teenage Dirtbag. Right before Micheal's part, he made eye contact with me. He wasn't singing his part, we were just staring at eachother. Luke and Calum walked over and asked if he was okay, he pointed at me and immediately after Calum stared laughing like the viral video of the baby ripping paper. Luke smiled and motioned for me to walk onto the stage. Everyone looked at me, my heart began to race. I slowly started to the stage. I stepped and Luke put my hand into Micheal's it was very warm. He was so much taller. Neither of us spoke, the crowd awed. Micheal and me went backstage and they apologized that they had to end the show early. "Lucky bastard..." Ashton muttered as he walked by. Micheal smiled, "Ever rode in a tour bus?" He asks me. I shook my head and he picked me up like I was a baby. "Already? Ain't she a bit too small for you?" Luke asks. I've just noticed that I am only 5"4, I still have to climb onto my counter to get pepper out of the cabinet!! How would this last? What if he finds my fan page? All these thoughts ultimately disappear when I realize I'm in the tour bus, sitting in his lap like a child on Santa's knee. Calum climbs into the van "For God's sake get a room!!" He yelled. "Screw you, Calum! You're just jealous!!" Micheal barked back. I looked in confusion at Luke, he just smiled and shook his head at me. Nearly a second later, we all heard police sirens ,"Fuck." Ashton muttered as the tour bus pulled over.
