I yelled to my friend Rachel that I would be right back in after I had a smoke. Walking through the crowd of millions of people was very hard. Pushing and shoving my way through all of the sweaty bodies. Who was the idiot who wanted to be in front of them all? Oh yeah that was me. Finally I reached the end of the wall of people. Only to look up and see that I just walked into the middle of the mosh pit. I held my arms up to as my dad said 'protect me grill' meaning my face or teeth. I elbowed and punched random people in the face and arms making my way to the end of the violent circle.
"Finally." I sighed in relief knowing that the trial was over. Then I walked out the doors to the designated smoking area. I reached for the now practically crushed pack of cigarettes pulling one out. Suddenly I realized I lost my fucking lighter damn it. I looked around and there was a guy standing at the other end of the lot. I walked over to him feeling like I was in high school all over again asking someone for a light.
"Hey, um dude do you by any chance have a lighter I can use?" I asked as I was looking down at my pack again searching for my lighter.
"Yeah of course, here." His voice it sounded really familiar. I looked up and saw who it was, it was my idol and the guy I had the most obsessive fangirl crush on for years. I had just asked Andy the lead singer of Black Veil Brides for a light. I was speechless I knew that I was staring at him but how could you not it was Andy. "Uh you still want the lighter?" he asked laughter rimming his voice.
"Yeah or I could just light the cigarette on you, I mean you're hot enough." I was so thankful for my sense of humor saving me. I took the lighter and lit the cigarette as he laughed at my joke, god his laugh was cute. "Thank you for the lend." I held up the cancer stick and started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Andy asked his voice sounding hurt. I stopped and turned around.
"I'm sure you have much better things to do besides talking to an ugly fan. I'm sure I can find a pretty one for you."
"One, you can't just hit on me then leave and two, I think you are very pretty." As soon as he said that he thought I was pretty I had been taking a drag and I choked on the inhale of smoke.
"Well uh thank you I guess I'll stay then." I laughed nervously. And walked back over to him.
"How are you liking the concert?"
"It's great, you were really great." I stared at my feet. "How's your tour going?"
"It's been pretty good but it just got better." I looked up at him confused.
"What do you mean?"
"It just got better because I'm talking to a beautiful girl who just happens to be a fan of mine." He winked at me and I could feel my ovaries about to burst.
"Oh well I'm glad to oblige." I took another drag hoping it would calm me down.
"Are you nervous?" Andy asked and raised an eyebrow at me.
"a bit but why wouldn't I be I am currently talking to my idol who happens to be totally gorgeous?" he laughed and put his arms around me. He was hugging me I was frozen then I felt him move away realizing that I wasn't hugging him back I threw my arms around his neck. He smelt soo good like a mist of cigarettes, beer, sweat and axe. He was also warm and really skinny. He started to release me and I did the same. Andy moved his hands down my shoulders to my hands and held them out in front of us. He looked me up and down as if studying me, this made me very self-conscious. I closed my eyes only to open them and see him gazing at my wrists. It took me a second to realize that he was staring at my battle scars.
"I stopped a long time ago I keep them to remind me that it can always get better. That's also something your music taught me is to, well never give in." I smirked and shrugged my shoulders.
"I'm happy that I have helped you through the years." He brought me in for another hug this one quicker than the last. I then realized I had a whole half cigarette left and I took another drag as he pulled away once more. "Oh I don't even know your name and I'm hugging you." He said laughing.
"Ha-ha my name is Beth." I said extending my non-cigarette hand, which he grabbed and shook.
"It's nice to meet you Beth. I am Andy." He joked and I laughed.
"Uh I don't want to be rude but, um where's the rest of the band?"
"That's not rude at all they are all by the tour bus or back stage. Would you like to meet them?" he asked and my stomach dropped.
"Yes please." I squeaked. Hopping up and down. He nodded and took my hand in his. I really hope my palm isn't sweaty. Was all I could think. We made our way to the tour busses on the far end of the parking lot. Finally we were in front of the bus and Andy opened the door for me I walked inside feeling kind of awkward. I reached the top of the stairs and I saw C.C and Ashley sitting on the couch playing a video game with two open beers. They looked up to see who had entered the bus and looked rather surprised to see me standing there.
"Um who are you?" asked C.C
"I'm Beth." I said like a mouse.
"And how did you get on here the door was locked?" Ashley asked sounding kinda amused.
"Andy let me in he was just right behind me." I turned to look for him but he wasn't there. I now felt really awkward.
"Well it's nice to meet you. Do you know how to play grand theft auto?" C.C asked holding out the controller to me.
"Who doesn't now mover aside and get ready to be schooled." We all laughed and they scooted over and I took the controller then started to play. Several minutes later I had defeated a rival gang and had 5,000 dollars.
"Holy shit you weren't kidding when you said you were good at this." Ashely laughed nudging me with his elbow. I laughed with him.
"Hey how are you kids doing?" asked Andy as he re-entered the bus.
"Thanks for ditching me you jerk. I was forced to make new friends." I laughed putting my arm over Ashley and C.C.
"It's always good to get out there and make new friends." Then I just remembered Rachel was still in the concert.
"Oh shit I have to go." I said putting down the controller and grabbing my third beer.
"Why do you have to leave so soon?" asked Andy sadly.
"I have to go back in to find my friend I left her to have a smoke and I've been gone for over an hour she is going to be soo pissed."
"Okay I will come with you and we can find her and all can come back here." Andy said grabbing my hand.
"Uh Andy if you come with me that might cause quite a commotion don't you think?" he stopped hearing truth in my words.
"Oh yeah that's true isn't it?" he laughed. "I keep forgetting I'm famous."
"Listen I will go in and get her then come back with her and we can all hang out."
"Okay that good. I really like hanging out with you. You're really cool." He gave me a kiss on the cheek and I felt the blood under my cheeks start to boil as I blushed.
