Favorite nightmare ft. Simon de wit / Blanks

5. The First Time We Met

'Paris can I come in?' I ask gently after knocking on her door. 'No!.. maybe?' I open the door and see Paris crying on her bed. 'Hey I want to come with you!' Paris looks at me and says 'I know you don't want to.' I look at her. She speaks the truth. Yeah I don't want to go there but I would do it for her. 'You are right. I don't really want to go but I would go for you.' Paris looks up at me. 'Really? You would do that for me?' Her eyes cheer up. 'Yeah of course!' I look at her and smile. I go downstairs and get some dinner. Paris joins me after a short while. She is all dressed up. Wearing ripped tights, a short black leather skirt, a black top and a dark jean jacket. 'Are you going to come with me like this? Or are you going to change your outfit?' I thought I looked just fine but Paris is right this is not really a party outfit. I decided to change into a pink blouse with a bow at the front and skinny jeans. I put on my white sneakers and put on some jewellery. After that I looked in the mirror and decided I need some spice. I put my hair down and decided to curl it a bit. I put on some makeup, some eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara and a red lipstick. I walk downstairs and Paris is looking very annoyed. 'Well that took a long time.' She rolls her eyes. 'But at least you look a bit normal now.' We got in the car and started driving. 'Can I put on some music?' Paris asks me. I nod at her because honestly I don't really care. 'This band is called Blanks 182. They are really famous and the singer is from my school.' I look at her and she is so cheered up. 'Really that is awesome! Do you know him?' Paris looks at me 'No not really he is 5 years older than me.' I don't really know how to keep the conversation going. The music is not my taste. 'You know they will be performing tonight!' Paris is shouting at me. 'OKAY!' I scream at her. Honestly I don't care. I am just here for Paris and I don't like the vibe of the people at her school. We arrive. I park the car and Paris grabs her bass from the back of the car. 'Can you carry my amp?' I sight. 'Ofcourse, where does it have to go?' 'Just follow me' Paris looks at me. 'Be careful'. This thing is so heavy. Now I know why she picked up the bass so quickly. I follow her backstage. Some other people are performing. I kinda like this music. It is some kind of indie rock. Paris looks at me 'You have to leave the backstage. I am so sorry' I look at her almost confused but inside I am so angry. 'Oh really? I thought I was here because you didn't want to be alone?' She rolls her eyes. OFCOURSE. 'Hey Paris, come over here!' Some guy with death bleached hair shouts at her. 'I have to go. Sorry again.' Paris says to me as she walks away. Well shit. I decide to just go back to the stage and join the public. I order a glass of coke at the bar and stand there all by myself. I hear the presenter saying that Paris' band will be next. I decide to stare a bit at my phone. No messages. Not like I expected any. I am not the kind of girl who texts all the time. 'Hi.' Some tall curly haired guy comes up to me. 'Hi?' He looks at me and smirks. 'I am Bram. Who are you lonely girl?' I smile at him 'I am June. Nice to meet you.' We shake hands. Bram seems very friendly. He has this kind look in his eyes and I like the way his curls are a bit messy. 'Why are you here?' He looks down at me. He is a lot taller than me.'You don't really seem to fit in here.' I laugh at him. He is right. 'You are right. I am here for my sister Paris. She is up next.' He looks at me with bright eyes. 'Really? What a coincidence! I am here to see my brother too. He is Simon, do you know him. The singer from Blanks 182?' I giggle 'Actually. Yes I do know them! My sister is a big fan of your brother. This is so funny.' Paris starts to perform. I cheer for her and listen to her songs. During the concert I kept talking to Bram. We exchange numbers and when Paris is done performing he leaves. I wait for Paris in the crowd. She walks up to me. 'That was so awesome! And I saw you talking to the drummer of Blanks 182. He is so cute. I like him.' I do too. I think to myself. 'They are going to perform next.' I look at ther confused. 'Really?' Paris nods. And so they do. Bram walks on the stage and waves at me. I wave back. Paris smiles 'That so cool!' They start performing. 'Give it up for Simon!' the bass player says. Everybody cheers. He walks on stage. He is a tall skinny guy covered in tattoo's. His long wavy brown hair slighty covers his shiny green eyes. 'Hallo mensen!' He screams through the microphone. The girls start to scream. Paris wispers at me 'He is so hot right?' 'Yeah' I answer. Yeah he is. They start performing. I don't really like it. It's too loud. It's too much for me. But I do like the vibes. Everybody is dancing so we decide to join. And before I know the show is over. The presenter walks on stage 'Give it up for Blanks 182!' Everybody starts to scream. I see from the corner of my eye some weird old beared man walking up to me. He has long gray hair, he is tiny and very skinny and he has a lot of tattoo's. He looks at me. 'Hey I need you backstage.' I am confused. 'I am sorry but I don't go to school here. I think you confuse me with someone else.' He looks at me very grumpy 'No I need YOU to come with me backstage NOW.' I decide to follow him to see what he wants. Paris looks at me in confusion but signals I do have to follow. So I do.
