Three;
I fell in love with a girl at the rock show
(The Rock Show-Blink-182)
"Garbage people, huh?" Craig said, he's had his fair share of garbage people from his experience with his dad alone.
Craig could see her biting her lip before she spoke, she slowed down at a stop light and quickly glanced at him, "I don't want you to think worse of me than you already do."
Veronica looked back ahead just before the light changed to green.
"I won't push you to do or say anything you don't want to," Craig smiled.
"With that attitude, we're going to get along nicely," Veronica laughed almost as if she laughed as a sign of relief, "tell me more about this band, though."
"Right, I actually hadn't heard of them until Kevin Smith recommended them. He said that Sleeping Fiction is a mix of Taking Back Sunday, The Used and, like, Blink-182. He got me tickets to get me in the mindset to write more music for the movie."
Veronica nodded, "Interesting. And the girl?"
"That would be Ellie Nash," Craig could sense a little bit of jealousy hinted at in her voice. He didn't feel weird about it, in fact it made him feel good about himself. "she's just a friend. No more, no less."
"So you're telling me that someone as attractive as you isn't taken," Veronica smiled.
Without hesitating, Craig smiled, too, "Maybe the right one hasn't come around, yet."
No mention of Ashley, not even a second thought about her. Craig felt abandoned by her doing who knows what in England. So, Craig felt like he needed to take every opportunity he could.
"You'll want to turn right on the road right after this golf course," Craig pointed up ahead of them, "parking is around back."
She nodded as she followed his directions. Parking wasn't as impossible to find as she had expected, thankfully, and got a decently close spot. After putting the car in park and shutting off the engine, she looked over at Craig and smiled. "You ready?"
"Absolutely," he responded.
The two unbuckled and got out of the car. Veronica locked her car before putting her keys in her pocket before making their way back up to the front of the club. There was a small line at the door with a few minutes left until the doors opened. They found their place behind a group of guys that looked like they belonged to the rowdiest fraternity at Toronto University. When Craig noticed that the guys in front of them looked like they were getting antsy, he immediately reached for Veronica's hand.
She looked up at him and blushed, she didn't say anything but Craig could tell she felt a little uneasy. So, he squeezed her hand for reassurance. The line started to move forward and Craig felt relieved that the guys in front of them had managed to keep their cool. At the door, the bouncer took their tickets and gave them under eighteen wristbands after he checked their IDs.
Once inside, they could hear someone warming up on the drums as Craig led her into the crowd, not once letting go of her hand. Hardly any time passed when the lights dimmed down and the opening band took the stage. The crowd cheered loudly and those who had drinks raised them as they cheered. Veronica started to dance along with the music despite not knowing any of their music. Craig paid more attention to her than to the crowd and finally found himself dancing with her.
She faced him and smiled while they danced together. Then that moment was the moment Craig went out on a whim and went with his gut. He pulled her closer to him before leaning in and kissing her. Veronica went with it until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned towards the other person and found someone she didn't think she'd see again.
