Chapter 13 – The Concert
They got outside to stand in the line, and a lot more fans had joined the line since they came here, they went to the back of the line and started talking. Lena noticed some of the fans staring at her and she felt a bit uncomfortable but tried to ignore it.
"So, do you know what Pete told me?" Lena whispered to Jeanette so no one but them could hear. "No, what?" Jeanette said and smirked a bit. "He talked their tour-manager in to changing their flight, so they leave tomorrow morning instead of tonight," she said and couldn't hide her excitement. "Oh, that's great!" Jeanette said and smiled widely. Lena knew that Jeanette was glad, too, that she could spend some more time with Patrick before they had to leave. "But it's not that much more time we can spend with them, I mean, if they leave tomorrow morning we don't have time to be with them tomorrow anyway," Jeanette said and frowned a bit at that thought.
Lena smiled at the thought that she might wake up next to Pete tomorrow morning and said, "Pete invited me to stay with him tonight…" Jeanette made a surprised face, "Oh, well… That's… Great," she said. "What's wrong?" Lena made a frown, wondering what could be wrong with a situation like that. "Nothing… I just don't want him to… Exploit you or something," she said. You could tell that it was hard for her to say. "Oh… Well… I can take care of myself," Lena said, and didn't really know what to think about it. "Well, you know… He is a guy. They'll do a lot of things just to… Get with you," Jeanette said and added, "Not that he's not nice or anything… I just care for you." "Well, I trust him, and he's not like that…" Lena mumbled as someone tapped her shoulder.
She turned around to look at three girls smiling nervously at her. All wearing Fall Out Boy shirts. "Uhm, hey?" the girl who had poked her said, and Lena wondered if they had heard the conversation between her and Jeanette, but they didn't seem to have heard anything and she was really glad. "Hey," Lena said and smiled at them. "We were just wondering if you were that girl Lena… From the MTV News interview?" the girl said nervously. "Uhm… Yeah, that's me," Lena said and tried to figure out what the girls might want from her. "Oh, cool… We just thought that you looked at lot like… Well, yourself," the girl said and grinned a bit, "I'm Eva, and this is Kristin and Vicky," she continued and pointed to her two friends. "Hey, I'm Lena… But I guess you know that," Lena said and grinned. "And I'm Jeanette," Jeanette said and waved at them with a grin. "Oh, you were the other girl who helped the guys?" Kristin asked. "Yep… Actually we didn't really do that much, Lena just asked for help in that speaker thingy, and then they said that we were going to get help in an hour or so…" Jeanette said.
"Wow, and whole hour with Fall Out Boy! That must have been amazing," Vicky stated. "Yeah, it was pretty fun," Lena said and smiled. "So what did you do?" Vicky asked. "Well, we just talked and stuff," Jeanette said and couldn't help glancing towards Lena with a smirk. "And then they just asked you to come with them to that interview?" Eva joined in and asked. "Pretty much," Lena smiled. "That's so kind of them; did they know you guys were fans?" Kristin asked. "Yeah, they did. It was really kind of them, they're really nice." Jeanette said.
The girls were really nice and they decided to see the concert together. They had a lot of fun while waiting in the line, but it was also a long time waiting before they finally got inside.
There were already a lot of people in the small hall. They got to stand by the stage and were about five rows from the stage. After about an hour the warm-up band came on stage, it was a band that neither of them knew, but it was alright. When the warm-up band, which name Lena didn't catch, went off stage they waited about half an hour before something happened again. It was quite a long time to wait, but Lena was really excited to see the band and hear all the songs she loved. She was also quite excited to see them play, now that she knew them a bit.
The concert finally began and they all had a really good time. At one point Pete said, "This next song is a dedicated one…" and they started playing "I'm like a lawyer…" Lena considered if he had meant her and it seemed, as she listened to the lyrics, which she could sing along to in her, sleep, and got a whole new meaning from now. Intended or not, it fitted in her mind.
It was one of the best concerts she had ever been to, and she was kind of bummed when it had to end, but that was only until she got to think about how she would be spending time with the guys soon again.
They finally got outside after a while, because there were a lot of people who wanted to get outside and it was hard to get pass them. On the way out, Lena accidently walked in to someone and got beer all over her pants. She quickly apologised and hurried after the others.
They stood outside for a while, talking about the concert with Eva, Kristin and Vicky. "Well, we better meet up with the guys," Jeanette said to Lena after half an hour of talking. "Yeah, you're probably right; else they think we've abandoned them." They grinned. "Well, it was really nice to meet you…" Kristin then said and hesitated a bit. Lena felt bad for them, that they hadn't had the change to meet the guys. "Hey, do you think we could ask the guys to get out here and say hello to the girls?" Lena asked Jeanette in a low voice, though the girls did hear it anyway, but they didn't say anything. "Well, we could always ask…" Jeanette said, hesitant. "Yeah, I'll go do that…" Lena said and ran towards the backstage area.
She got to the dressing-room where the guys were talking about the concert. "Hey guys, amazing concert!" she said when the guys saw her. "Thank you very much," Joe said and smiled, "what happened to your pants?" he added. "Uhm, I ran in to a guy with a beer," she said and blushed. Pete got up to hug her. "Ew, you're all sweaty," he teased. "Ew, you're all dry," she said and stuck her tongue out. "You can borrow the shower here, if you want to…" he said. "I don't have anything else than this to wear," she said and really wished she had, though, 'cause the mixture of sweat and beer really wasn't the best smell in the world. "Well, I'll get you a shirt from the merch-booth and you can wear these," Pete said and pointed at his pants, "these are clean, I'll just wear the ones I whore on stage, its fine… They're not that sweaty." "Are you sure?" she asked him. "Positive," he smiled. "Well, okay then… But I actually wanted you guys to do me a favour," she said when she suddenly remembered. "What's that?" Pete said and smirked. "Well, me and Jeanette were with three girls we met in the line, and wondered if you guys could come out and say hi to them? It doesn't have to be that long or anything…" "No, it's fine… We can do that," Joe said and got up.
They all went outside to meet the girls, who were really amazed that they were actually meeting Fall Out Boy. After a while of talking and picture taking they had to go inside, because Lena and Jeanette had to shower and the guys had to get finished up so they could go to the after-party. The guys went inside and Lena and Jeanette stayed for a couple of minutes more to say goodbye to the girls. "Well, it's been really great. Thank you for everything!" Kristin said and hugged Lena and then Jeanette. "Yeah, it's been a lot of fun," Eva said and hugged them, too. "Yeah, agreed. It was fun meeting you girls, you're really nice," Vicky said and hugged them. "Yeah, you too, we had a great time," Lena smiled. "Yeah, really," Jeanette said and smiled. "Well, I'm sorry, but we have to go now," Lena said, and she was truly sorry to say goodbye to the girls. "Hey, could we get your numbers or something? Keep in contact," Jeanette asked them as if she read Lena's mind. "Yeah, of course," Eva said. They all exchanged numbers and said goodbye.
When they got to the dressing-room, Pete had gotten them both a T-shirt each from the merch-booth. They both got showered and in some clean clothes. Pete's pants were a tiny bit too big, but he was just as tall as she was so the length wasn't a problem. She had always been teased about her height, but now it was just perfect. "Wow, you're too sexy for my pants," Pete grinned, when they joined the guys again. She just grinned and rolled her eyes at him. "Well, we kind of need to go right about… Now… So are you ready to go?" Patrick said. They nodded and soon they were on their way.
