I Took a Sip of Something Poison (A Foster the People Fanfiction)

Another Foster the People Concert

"Come on, Cal!" Sash banged on my bathroom door as I put the finishing touches on my makeup.

"I'm coming, just a second!" I called back as I paused This Is Gospel by Panic! At The Disco. I grabbed everything I needed and stuffed it into my backpack before I dusted off my Free Mago shirt and took a look in the mirror. My dark makeup accented my eyes perfectly and I looked like I've always dreamed of. In the last year, I've really gotten into trying to figure out how to apply makeup. Sash has helped me learn how to, and at the same time she's been learning special effects makeup. I've been her guinea pig and model as she's slowly been trying to compile her portfolio to try to get into art school. Sometimes she'll even drag Will and my brothers into the mess.

I met Sash in the main room of the Club and we walked out to her truck. We were going to the Bayou Music Center to camp out tonight so we could get good places for the concert tomorrow night. We were both freaking out with excitement for the concert.

It's been several months since Supermodel came out and she and I have had it on repeat since. We listened to it the entire way down to Houston. When we finally got to downtown, we parked and grabbed our bags to go sit outside of the Center's doors and wait for tomorrow.

Sash and I passed the time by singing along to Torches and Supermodel the entire night, literally. It was absolutely ridiculous, but it was so much fun. We sang along as we stalked their Instagrams and looked at pictures on the Internet. Yeah, we were going to be those girls.

I was honestly happy for one of the first times in a year. Letting them go was one of the best decisions I have ever made, I was so much happier now.

Finally, someone showed up to the Center and opened up the ticket booth. I didn't recognize her at first, only when she called my name did I finally see who it was. "Calliegh, is that you?"

I looked up at the windows and smiled. "Ryder? Yay! I didn't know you were working tonight!"

"I changed my shift after Lyam told me that you were coming tonight."

"Well, thank you for that."

"Who's your friend?" Ryder raised an eyebrow and pointed over at Sash.

"Oh, this is my best friend Sasha, it was actually her idea to come tonight." I shrugged as Ryder tilted her head to the side.

"I thought Foster the People was your favorite band?" She looked so confused as I could feel my pulse quickening. I really hope she doesn't mention the other concert I went to.

"They are, I just didn't know they were coming through town. She decided to bring me, it's our first time to see them and we both wanted to come early to get good spots." I exaggerated slightly on the last part of what I said, hoping she'd get the idea.

Ryder nodded understandingly and motioned for me to come around the back of the ticket booth to talk to her. "Calliegh, you know this isn't your first time."

"Yeah, but she was in that bus accident and I didn't want her to know that I've already seen them."

"Okay, if you know what you're doing, go ahead. But, she really doesn't remember anything?"

"Yeah, she doesn't remember anything from the last four years, except for the things I told her. I tried to tell her everything, but I couldn't tell her about the warehouse. I told her about getting kidnapped, but I haven't told her details, I haven't told anyone those."

"That's completely understandable." She smiled and patted my shoulder a little.

"So, why are you here and not making out with Lyam?" I giggled as she turned bright red.
