In my head this was how it was meant to go; I'd go to the All Time Low meet and greet and Jack Barakat would fall head over heels in love with me. Right? I wish. At least I can dream, I mean I've read enough fanfictions about him. 'Him' being Jack Barakat.
I was snapped out of my fangirl dreaming by the sound of my friend and partner in crime, Kasey, honking the horn of her car. "C'mon Sarah, you're gonna be late. You don't wanna keep Mr Barakat waiting?" she joked. Tonight was going to be the best night of my life, because for the first time I was seeing All Time Low live. Jack Barakat would be right in front of me. I let out a squeal as I ran downstairs and got into her car. The engine started up and I could feel goosebumps all over my limbs. This concert was going to be special.
We battled our way to the front of the line, disregarding what the security guards had said about skipping the queue. I was far too excited to care about what they had to say. Ignoring the dirty looks from the people we had just cut infront of, I pulled out my iPod and started blasting All Time Low. Alex Gaskarth's voice filling my ears added to the excitement I already had. I was going to explode. We were so close to the top of the line. So close to the meet and greet. Only 10 more minutes.
Suddenly the huge metal doors were opened and screaming filled the air. We were ushered in by a burly looking guard while I clung to Kasey, in fear of being swept away. And that's when I saw them. Rian, Jack, Zack and Alex, sitting behind the table - and my heart stopped. We were pushed into some sort of a line and I had to try my hardest to get my legs to move. "THEY'RE RIGHT THERE!" Kasey half shouted, half whispered in my ear. I could have replied with so many sarcastic things, but at that moment my mouth was too dry for me even to speak. We were at the very back. I gulped as the line infront of us got shorter and shorter and shorter and HOLY FUCK I WAS STANDING INFRONT OF JACK BARAKAT.
He smiled up at me and I had to fight every urge to jump over the table yelling "I'M HERE MY SWEET LEBANESE PRINCE, MARRY ME" but of course, I didn't. Alex was the first to speak. "Hey there, what's your name." he asked, turning on that famous Gaskarth charm. "S-Sarah" I stammered. "Don't be nervous Sarah." Zack smiled up at me and Rian nodded in agreement. "Sarah's a pretty name." Jack said. I almost dropped to the floor infront of him but I composed myself and an odd wave of calmness washed over me. I handed him my CD and a letter I had wrote him, telling him how much him and the rest of the guys had saved me. "Will you read this please Jack?" Thrusting out his finger, almost punching me in the stomach, he yelled "PINKY SWEAR!" I laughed and went to take my CD back but his face fell and he went "I wanted to pink swear." My heart melted and I curled my pinky around his. And the wave of calmness had subsided. ASDFGHJKLSKHDUHFDAUFHDSOFSH I WAS TOUCHING JACK BARAKATS HAND OH MY SWETE BABY MY PURE SWEET BABY .
I felt him trying to pull his finger out of the pinky death grip I had locked him in. My face turned bright red, redder than his hat and I pulled my hand away as fast as I could.
"It was nice meeting you guys." Alex said. "You too, keep on making awesome music" Kasey yelled, completely forgetting that she was even on the same planet. The same security guard led us out and as we were walking away, I turned my head back and watched them get up out of the chairs.
And with that, they were gone.
