A black tank top was thrown across the hotel room followed by mumbled words that weren't quite audible. Lorren had changed her outfit, again, because she couldn't just find something that seemed right. She's going to a Twenty One Pilots concert, and she needed to look just right. Not to prove herself to anyone, but to make herself feel better about going out in public. And of course, just like any other fan, she had high hopes that maybe she would meet the two males that changed her life the most, so she had to make herself look presentable, even though she knew she would never meet them.

"Lorren, you changed your outfit at least three times now, can you just pick something? I would like to eat before the concert," Hayley groaned, falling back on the hotel bed with an irritated huff.

Lorren snorted and walked over to her, smiling widely at her friend.

"Get up lazy butt, we need to eat," Lorren said in amusement, pulling her red-headed friend up with a laugh. She decided on a grey tank top with slits towards the collar, and plain blue skinny jeans.

"That's the outfit that you picked?" Hayley asked, scoffing in disbelief that she had to wait this long for something as simple as that.

Lorren instantly frowned and looked down her body, second guessing herself like usual.

"I...is it... Should I change?" She mumbled, looking back at her friend, who sighed heavily.

"No Lo. You look beautiful as always," Hayley murmured, giving her a reassuring smile. "But the mess you made...not so beautiful." She laughed softly and nodded her friend.

Lorren sighed and nodded before giving her a forced smile back. She walked to the nearby mirror and fixed her makeup quickly since it had smudged, and ran her hands through her hair before smiling.

"Let's go eat!" She said, dragging her friend out of the hotel room.

Tyler Joseph slapped his friend on the back with a grin, already dressed for the concert in two hours.

"Hey man, they got Taco Bell in the back room!" He said all excited, which caused Josh to smile at him.

Josh was excited for the concert tonight, bit he also felt weirdly nervous. He usually doesn't feel this way for performing, but he couldn't help but feel tonight was going to be different. His eyebrows furrowed slightly and Tyler knew something was off.

"Hey man, what's wrong?" Tyler asked quietly, his brown eyes softening.

Josh shook his head, inhaling a deep breath before smiling at him.

"Nothing, just thinking," he said, licking his bottom lip, "I'm going to go get some fresh air, don't eat all those tacos!" He laughed before walking away.

Tyler watched his best friend exit through the back door with a frown, but he didn't follow after him. He knew he needed time to think, so he went back to the room and decided to eat most of the tacos.

Josh leaned against the wall right outside the door and sighed heavily, dragging his hand down his face. He didn't know why his stomach was twisting all of the sudden, something was going to happen. He got these feelings a lot actually, but this time, he couldn't think of what was going to happen.

He started to aimlessly walk down the alley, not paying attention because he was lost in his own thoughts, which caused him to accidentally run into someone.

"Oh!" A soft feminine voice said as they both stumbled to the ground. "I am so sorry! I wasn't paying attention, I was looking for my..." He voice trailed off as their eyes met.

"Oh, don't worry. This was my fault," Josh said, slowly standing up. He reached out to grab her hand and helped her to her feet, his eyes looking over her body to make sure she was okay.

Lorren was silent as she looked over Josh Dun's face. Oh god, this was Josh! THE Josh! She was speechless, and she guessed he knew she recognized him by the way his lips upturned into a smirk.

"Josh Dun, but I guess you already knew that," he whispered, not letting go of her hand. She was breathtakingly beautiful, he couldn't help but stare at her.

"L-Lorren. Uh, Lorren Adams," she whispered, blushing as she stumbled over her words. She looked down at their hands and Josh pulled away, thinking that is what she wanted.

"Well, Lorren. I am sorry for running into you," he whispered, licking his lips out of nervousness.

Lorren laughed softly, the sound making Josh's heart flutter, and shook her head.

"No, it's fine," she whispered back, shuffling her feet awkwardly. She still couldn't get over the fact that she was talking to Josh. That Josh held her hand, even for a brief moment. This was something that she only dreamed about.

Josh watched her carefully. His eyes trailed over her soft brown hair, watching as it fluttered in the slight wind. He liked how her bright blue eyes seemed to flicker with other colors intensely. He didn't even notice he was staring until he heard her clear her throat, causing him to blush deeply.

"Listen, uh Lorren," he started, shifting his weight. "Uh, I have some backstage passes if you want them. I feel bad for running into you, and I want to make it up." He smiled widely at her.

Lorren felt her eyes widen, and her lips curled upwards into an excited smile.

"Backstage...uh, y-yeah!" She said in an excited tone, coughing Josh to laugh softly under his breath.

"Great!" He said, looking her face again. "I assume you didn't come here by yourself..."

"Oh! Yeah! I came here with my friend, Hayley... which is why I was back here..." her voice trailed off as she remembered that she was supposed to be looking for her friend.

Josh nodded slightly. "Well, just come backstage after the concert, I'll let the guards let you in," He said, winking at her.

Lorren blushed again and looked down at her feet with a nod. Was Josh flirting with her?

Of course not you idiot. Why would someone like him ever like someone like you? You're a nobody.

Lorren cleared her throat and looked back up at Josh, her smiling diminishing. "Alright." She whispered, "I'll see you after the concert." She smiled softly at him again before she slowly started to walk away, glancing back a few times.

Josh stayed where he was until she turned the corner, disappearing from his view. He sighed heavily and rubbed his hands together. He hadn't felt that nervous around a girl since... since he first met Debby. He quickly shook her image out of his head and headed back inside the building, a soft smile on his lips.

He walked to the back room, rolling his eyes at Tyler, who had empty taco wrappers thrown everywhere.

"Dude, did you save any for me?" He asked, looking through the boxes.

Tyler hummed, rubbing his chin as he thought.

"Yes, two," he said in amusement, watching his friend with a raised eyebrow. "Why do you seem so happy all of a sudden? Something happen outside?" He asked, leaning closer to him.

Josh blushed slightly, which didn't go unnoticed by Tyler.

"Uh, yeah, I guess so," he whispered, shoving a taco in his mouth so he wouldn't have to talk about it.

Tyler opened his mouth to question him, but that was when the stage director decided to come in, telling them they have ten minutes to get ready.

"This conversation is not over," He told Josh, nudging him slightly before exiting the room to get in place.

Josh sighed heavily and swallowed his food before walking out after him, trying to get the image of that brunette girl out of his head so he could perform.
