Overrated (Remade)

Chapter 1

I couldn't hear over my own heart-beat. Even with how my sister was gripping on my shoulder I still felt my self slipping from reality.

It was all her and my brothers fault anyways. For dragging me to some stupid concert.

"Hey listen , I know that look Gaara."

Temari said , snapping me from my thoughts.

"Gaara ....jeez , just try and have fun, alright? "

I rolled my eyes. Despite how many people were there I didn't care about my actions. It's not like I ever did Anywyas.

"Yeah I'm going to have fun waiting for you and kankuro in the car"

I wasn't even dressed right. A hoodie , jeans , sneakers. Is that what people normally wore to concerts?

Depending on my surroundings , I guessed not.

"Gaara no! Please just stay for once?"

I shook my head. Already mad she was forcing me to come here.

She had a small frown on her face. I didn't care all that much. As I walked away I saw kankuro come back from talking to his boyfriend.

I hated that dumb mutt loving idiot. Not that I liked Temari's girlfriend anybetter but I didn't care honestly.

Relationships weren't for me. I'd accpeted it at the point. I was a loveless being. I was fine with that.

I got pushed around by a few other music loving maniacs before I could even reach the exit. Security made it so hard to get in but so easy to get out.

That was a breath reliver. I couldn't deal with any other idiots today.

I stumbled out the doors and past the long lines of people. I was almost embarassed for them.  Waiting in a long line like that for up close music when you can sit at home with earbuds to block out the whole world? I'd choose the seconded option.

I'd grabbed the pack of cigarettes kankuro kept in his car. My friends told me it was bad for me, I didn't care and apperantly the police and my siblings didn't care either.

They didn't care what you did really. At least not in this town.

I walked towards the back of the building. Lighting the cigarette with the lighter I got for my 16th birthday.

That was 4 years ago. I'm 20 now. Still living in my father's house unfortunately. Somehow still have this lighter as well.

It felt like hours. The air was cold , the sky was dark and my thin hands were shaking pretty bad. I had slid down the wall to sit. My arms on my knees.

I didn't mind the cold , beacause moments like these were moments I didn't get often. I would treasure it.

I heard a small noise come from the other edge of the building. I crawled a bit before fully standing up to get a view at the noise.

"Listen Neji , She's In there I promise"

A slightly high voice.

"But what if she's not?"

There was a small pause.

"What if she ran off with her girlfriend or decides that she doesn't want to help me backstage"

There was a sigh.  "Neji , Tentens in there. I promise! And she wouldn't ditch you"

Tenten huh. My big sisters girlfriend. I decided to intervene. I really disliked helping people but when I was most likely the cause of the problem I thought I should give some closure.

"Tenten , right? Yeah she's in there. She was looking all over the place. Seconded row on the 3rd side" I said , presenting myself cool as I held the almost worn cigarette in between my fingers.

They both looked at me.

"Thank you!" The Neji kid said running off into the building".

It was just the tall one and me.

"Thanks for helping!" He smiled.

I nodded. "Don't mention it. That girl is my sister's girlfriend"

The tall kid beamed. "Temari's your sister??"

I nodded. "And who are you"

His face flushed red. "oh- uhm , I'm lee!" He said holding out his hand.

I shrugged it off , not taking his hand.

"Gaara"

His face turned even redder as he put his hand down. Scratching the back of his neck.

"Ah , sorry about that. I can't talk long I'm supposed to be in there"

I rolled my eyes. "What's so good about close up music? Do you enjoy music this much?"

The lee kid looked supirsed , shocked if I may.

"Oh- uhm ,actually I'm the one performing. Neji and Tenten are my best friends! They help run everything!"

I would say I was shocked. He didn't look much older then me.

He laughed.  "I'm 22" he said reading my thoughts. 

I nodded. "Your a 22 year old singer who just happens to be in the back of his own concert?"

He nodded.

The moon was uncovered by the clouds and I got a good look at his face.

He had a defined face , black bangs split into a part. His face red from the cold.

"Well I've got to go I'll see you later perhaps?" He asked me as a loud noise came from inside the building.

I nodded. "Don't count on it but mabye"

He stumbled his way into the back door , shutting it behind him"

I sighed.

"God , let this end soon".
