Hey, Cupid (COMPLETED)

Chapter 8: Of Fortunes, Bands and Series of Confessions (Part 3)

It was Neville.

So basically, Alchemy and Vernon got lost in the sea of crowds and they cannot find their way in because there are so many people. Feb received a text from Vernon that he would wait for her in the car and that she should enjoy her first concert experience with her favorite band. She smiled at the thoughtfulness of her best friend.

She then received another message, this time it was from Al, telling her to meet him as soon as the concert ends saying that he would now tell her what seemed to be interrupted the last time that they were in the playground during the first day of the volunteer work. She put her phone back in her bag when she had finished replying to the both of them.

She faced Neville. "Hey, thank you for holding my hand earlier." She tried telling him but the surrounding was so noisy from the hype coming from the excited crowd that Neville can't seem to understand what she's trying to say.

"What? I can't hear you." Neville answered, pointing at his ears.

Feb tried shouting but her words can't seem to come across clearly to the boy that she tried another way. She tiptoed, (Feb isn't particularly small, it's just that, Neville was really tall that he was towering over her) place her hands on his left ear like a child telling her friend a secret.

"I said, thank you for holding my hand earlier." Feb said withdrawing from the position and then proceeded to giving Neville a really grateful smile. She then further added as another whisper: "I wouldn't be standing here excitedly waiting for their setlist if it weren't for you.".

Even though he felt disappointed at first because he didn't get to spend this time solely with Feb, all that was washed away by the fact that he knew he had successfully made Feb truly happy. Even though it took him a lot of courage to do such that, he felt like that was the second greatest decision that he had made in his entire life.

"Hello, good evening everyone!" The half of the Bens, or Paolo in particular greeted everyone who attended the event. A loud cheer echoed around the place.

"We never expected this huge crowd and I'm really thankful because you all came here tonight despite of your other plans." He said giving the audience a tender smile.

"Without further ado," Miguel, his brother added "Let's start the show. Our first song for event is, 'Maybe the night'. I hope you would enjoy the show."

They started performing. Feb just closed her eyes to feel the song. She can't help but smile because this was just part of her dream previously and now she's here, right this moment.

It was dark during that moment simply because it was nighttime but also, the organizers placed not-so-many lights but those just enough to light the place yet still maintain that dim, cozy feeling as if one is comfortably hanging out is his/her room. Maybe that was because Ben&Ben songs are those that is best with that kind of setting not unlike the other bands which plays energetic rock songs. Kumbaga, pang-senti 'yong sa kanila.

"Moon has never glowed this color

Hearts have never been this close

It was dark during that moment. But whenever Neville sees Feb smiling, he couldn't help but feel like he's seeing the sun, even if it's literally nighttime. And what's even funnier is that the song playing literally talks about the night.

I have never been more certain

I will love you 'til we're old

Neville, being a quiet person, have always loved the moon. That is because; it was usually quieter during the night and he enjoys that mood the most. However, during that moment-that certain moment, he couldn't help but think that, 'Maybe I'm liking the sun better than the moon now? I may have quickly judged the sun that all my life, I never knew just how much warmth it could send to people just by shining upon us. I'm liking it better-scratch that, maybe I love the sun better than the moon now.'
