Does the Rain Still Make You Smile?

by Bandshirt With A SkateBoard

My best friend gets backstage passes to an All Time Low concert. Turns out she has been friends with them and we get stuck touring the country with them. All credit to the band and others mentioned in this story. I own nothing, nada, nunca, nothing

1. The Beginning

I wrote this after hearing the All Time Low song Circles. Something just clicked in my mind and this was what I came up with. I'll update as soon as I can but it will be hard.

The P.O.V. of Eliza (a.k.a. me)

I was trapped, more like stuck inside the house. With the temperature in the 100s it was better to stay inside in the air-conditioning. I was staring out the window wishing for a cooler day, but I knew it wouldn't come for a couple of months. Sighing, I grabbed my laptop and headed for the cool basement. I plugged in my iPod searching for the newest Blink song I could find and blasted it. I logged onto the white laptop and logged onto my email.

Fifty new messages!!!! It screamed.

Sifting through all the junk mail and scams took forever but it finally came down to 8 messages just from my friends and family. A message from mom requesting me to visit her, one from my friend now residing in England, but the one that caught my attention was from my best friend. The subject box screamed the words READ IMMEDIATELY. Knowing it was probably some overreaction to something I opened it waiting to chuckle.

Torture was the first thing that popped in my mind when I saw how long it was. People just don't email very shortly anymore. Oh well.

Eliza,

My dad got tickets to the All Time Low concert and guess what????????????? He also got backstage passes. Call me as soon as you get this and I'll explain the rest!!!!!!!!

Luv,

Liz

All Time Low was this new band that my friend found and she thrived on it. From her I permanently had the band members names implanted in my head. They were really good and came to our city a lot so I was always accompanying my best friend to these concerts.

I grabbed the phone and punched in her number. I held it away from my ear on a forced habit knowing my friend would scream once she picked up.

Eliza!!!!!!!!!!!!

You don't have to scream Liz.

All Time Low is a big reason to scream!! Plus the fact that I am going to meet them.

Okay, okay so maybe that is a big reason to scream. Just please don't do it in my ear.

I got the details and found out the concert was on Friday so I had five days of instant torture with my friend till this concert. It's going to be a long five days.
