Chapter 2: DARK SIDE

I hear the cries of fangirls. I mean... who couldn't? I think I may need to book a hearing test after this. I'm beginning to sweat, and the concert itself hasn't begun, I managed to get a row or two at the front. My hair is beginning to flatten, my personal space is beginning to shrink and I, being five foot ONE am beginning to shrink even more behind two, tall girls.

The lights suddenly flash on. Blue, purple, pink dashes of light bounce around the small cave of fans. The lights blink faster and faster while the screams get louder and louder. I wonder if they can hear it.

Who am I kidding?

A laugh is heard across the stage, echoing and provoking a loud reaction out of the crowd.

It's... him.

The band enter the stage, setting up their instruments.

My mind flashes back to the meet and greet, back to when he kissed my cheek, causing my eyes to widen and my heartbeat to fluctuate.

MY CHEEK.

I touch it ridiculously and Clarissa smirks at me knowingly. I glare back at her.

The sounds of guitars crescendo into the humid air and we all fall silent as the instruments fall silent. The lights stop moving and spotlight the band members, blue, purple and pink.

The lead singers laughs again, like syrup and honey, then the music resumes, filling the venue via the speakers.

"Let's talk about whats on your mind,"

The screams blend into singing, mostly out of tune, or out of sync, but no one seems to care, no one seems to notice.

I find myself singing along, rather loudly too and shamelessly with Clarissa and all the others.

My hair tumbles awkwardly as I, too awkwardly move with the sea of singing, sweating people. My mind seems to be misplaced but all I care about is making sure I'm having a great time, singing along to words that tumble out of my mouth ungracefully.

"Leave out your famous dream."

My heartbeat increases with every word the 19 year old blond sings, and I giggle as if I'm once again attending my first concert. My eyes wander around the stage, I stare at the blond, his hair sticking to his forehead and voice booming across the audience. The sound of the synth on the keyboard fills the air.

"You say your man don't take the time,"

Well he certainly didn't. He has my number and we only met half an hour ago.

Clarissa squeals as she shouts:

"Oh my god, I think ROCKY LOOKED AT ME!"

I grin happily at my red-haired friend and continue singing the words helplessly, because this is my favourite song on their new album. My feet are starting to ache as I tiptoe high enough to see them passionately playing, at their best.

"Don't see no fancy ring... oh yeah."

Ross turns around at the rest of the band and gives a thumbs up.

Shortly after this happens, the singing stops, and the music quietens down. Murmurs spread like wildfire throughout the swarm as they look back with puzzled faces. The lights begin to shine harshly as the band stops playing.

Ross clears his throat awkwardly and searches in the audience. He better not be looking for me.

"Hey guys... sorry for the sudden stop..." He drags out each word he says a little too long, distractedly.

He continues to search in the crowd and frowns a little and sighs. He stops and then continues to talk. The crowd is silent.

"So, we have decided to let someone come up on stage and perform with us!" He says enthusiastically, whilst combing his hair with his calloused fingers. A spotlight shines on the crowd, travelling on person to person, it stops at the middle of the room, while a faint "Oh my god!" is heard.

I can just about see a pretty, medium height brunette, who has the same style of hair as me, but her hair is longer and lighter than mine. She is wearing a grey tank top and a burgundy lace choker. She looks 16 years old.

"Hey! Come on up!" Ross says, with less enthusiasm, (if I say so myself).

Gasps around the girl were heard as someone shouts:

"WAIT A MINUTE! SHE FAINTED!"

"Oh... um, is she okay?" Ross looks concerned and leans down towards a steward and I assume, tells him to find the girl and makes sure she is okay.

The crowd makes a gap among themselves as the steward finds the girl and her blonde friend, who I assume is the one who alerted us that the brunette fainted, and walks with them outside. The crowd's eyes follow them steadily and snap back at the stage immediately, all staring at the lead singer, silent.

He nods at Ryland, who is controlling the lighting effects and moves the spotlight around again. As the spotlight draws nearer to me, I try to duck under the crowd, but Clarissa, who seems to have other plans for me, and possibly a death wish shouts towards the stage and waves her hands obnoxiously.

"OVER HERE!"

The band laughs in recognition of Clarissa's voice and obviously, the light ends up on, guess who? Yours truly.

"Aha! We meet again!" Says Ross feigning shock, and winks at me. The part of the crowd who weren't at the M&G were confused, while the part who were either squealing or sighing.

Ross jumps off the stage effortlessly and the two tall girls who were in front of me moved aside and sigh as he draws nearer to me. The blond moves the railing that separated us slightly and offers his hand for me to hold. While I, in return cock my head and raise an eyebrow and push his hand away. He briefly looks confused and then again feigns his shock, putting a hand to his heart in fake pain. I smirk and roll my eyes at his predictable reaction and walk with him towards the stage.

"Hey, why don't you introduce yourself?" Ross pulls me up onto the stage, passing me his microphone.

I turn around at the intense stares of the crowd. My eyes widen dramatically and I search in the crowd for Clarissa, who smiles, almost too much and gives me a big thumbs up.

"Um... I'm Trin. I guess." I shrug my shoulders and feel my cheeks heat up.

"Is that all? You managed to get a kiss on the cheek off my brother, which is something that doesn't happen often!" Rydel interjects playfully, which made the crowd scream and probably cry.

I turned around and glared at Rydel, who returned a smirk back at me.

"Aha... very funny... let's just continue the song okay?" Ross says into the microphone I was holding, pulling me along.

The crowd realises who kissed my cheek at this point, obviously.

The band laughs and Rocky picks up an acoustic guitar instead and plays with Riker and his bass, continuing the song.

"Let's hope you can sing..." Ross says playfully towards me, earning him a mock fake shock.

"Falling in love on the first date, I don't even know your last name."

"That I do know, Miss. Willows."

The crowd screams at his comment, while I once again blush a deep, deep, deep red.

"You're living off daddy's money, well honey."

He stares at me while I sing along, harmonising with his voice. I mean I've listened to this song so many times... I pretty much know it off the back of my hand.

Rocky cheers and claps while Rydel and Ratliff dance together behind us.

"Even though these are our best days, we only do things in the worst way."

The crowd sings along with us and I smile really, really, really wide. Even more so than the meet and greet. I didn't even think that was possible.

"Let your hair down and dance with me."

Ross winks at me whilst Ellington does a simple drum fill before Rydel pulls him back. The crowd cheers and start to clap along to the performance.

"Give into your dark side, your dark side."

Ross moves closer to me as I walk backwards, away from him, causing him to raise his eyebrows and to momentarily stop singing.

"I've seen the way you look at me," I sing, rolling my eyes.

"It feels right..." Ross focuses his eyes on me while he 'discreetly' moves closer towards me again. (A/N:OH WOW THINGS ARE GETTING HEATED AM I RIGHT)

The crowd clap along while screaming and filming the shamelessly flirting blond and I.

"There's no need convincing me in things you should,"

A thud is heard on stage as the crowd and band laugh.

I sing on my own again because the blond fell down on his journey towards me because he tripped on his own microphone wire. Oh wow.

The crowd, Rocky, Rydel, Ratliff, Riker and I laugh breathlessly as Ross lifts himself back up on his feet to sing again.

"Oh I know you got a dark side, oh won't you give it to me?"

As Ross sings the last line with red cheeks, which could either be from falling or the heat of the room, the crowd once again screams and shouts towards the stage and I am still laughing because, I Trinity Rose Willows, have just sung on stage with my favourite and band and one of the members has a crush on ME.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Because this is so ridiculous, I mean why am I so interesting to you?"I say out loud, the crowd murmuring and filming, and it's all happening too fast.

"Well... haven't you worked it out? I mean he asked for your number!" Riker impatiently says, as if he's expecting something to happen. Nope. Not going to happen. NOPE.

"Oh yeah..." I scratch the back of my head and awkwardly laughing. "Oh stop smirking guys!" I scold them playfully, while they laugh.

"Anyway, thanks for singing with me... you were actually really good." Ross begins to say, while I raise an eyebrow, "you and your friend can hang around backstage until the show ends..."

"Oh really? I don't kno-"

"OH MY GOD YES WE WILL WAIT BACKSTAGE!" Clarissa bellows from the front row, interrupting me.

Everyone in the room including me laugh at Clarissa's outburst.

"Then it's settled, Miss. Willows, see you later." Ross winks at me and takes off the pick necklace I was wearing and puts it around his neck. "This will give me a reason to see you later and a reason for you not to leave."

Then he leans down towards my tiny stature and, wait for it, KISSED MY CHEEK.

I blush again, and sharply draw my breath while I hear him chuckle in my ear.

And right on cue, the crowd screams.

The show resumes and well, me and Clarissa are standing backstage for the rest of the night while Ross occasionally stares at me.

I wave at him, and he waves back, which causes more screaming.

Something tells me, from now on, my life will not be the same as it was before I met him.

To be honest i didn't like how that ended, but that's how life is.

Sorry most of my sentences were like the crowd screamed. BECAUSE THEY WOULD LIKE OMG.

Reviews and stuff would be FABULOUS (please).
