xXxXxXxXxXxX

I think it was 5am that I woke up this morning, which is really bad.

For me at least.

I hate mornings, hate them with a passion, but, I can never seem to sleep past 7:00 and, when I'm excited, it's even worse!

The last time I'd been to a concert I'd managed to sleep in until 7am, which, even then, was early for me.

But 5am!

I guess it's because I was going to see my favourite band of all time.

Short Stack.

The best band to hit me since Something Corporate.

They were brilliant, I didn't even know who they were, the first time I heard them.

And I only saw them after buying my first single.

They were all guys! Their music was brilliant! And they were hot!

And I was seeing them today!

The excitement flooded through me as I thought of meeting my idols.

And I suppose it might have been to do with the fact that I was going to see SHAUN!

Shaun Diviney, defender of all things good, and plunderer of my heart.

I'd never seen him, never spoken with him, never touched him, but even so, I'm pretty sure I was in love with him.

And I was going to see him this afternoon!

I started to do my happy dance, when I realized that even though I was as alert as could be, it was 5am and my parents were still asleep.

So I settled for plugging in my ipod and listening to Short Stack.

After a while, I suddenly heard the familiar beat of my favourite songs.

The music coursed through me and pretty soon I had picked up my guitar and was strumming away.

"And I hope, this is never over"

My voice harmonized well with Shaun's, or, at least I thought so.

"And we are, One, Step Closer!"

I might have just been imagining it, but his tones sounded like they were made for me, for us, together.

Yep, I was probably imagining it.

I kept singing, revelling in the sound.

"Maia keep it bloody DOWN!" My dad's voice rung through the house.

Ooh, he was angry, not good.

I took out the other earphone, and placed my guitar down.

Seeing as it was only 7am, I considered my fathers request, and instead worked on a new song that I'd been writing for Shaun.

It was called I'll wait.

After about half an hour, I was finished the chorus and the riffs.

Lovely.

And I would wait,
More than a thousand years,
If I could catch your tears,
|Every Day, Every way,
Our world will crumble down,
But If I know you're around,
I can pull through, make it for you,
One in a million lives,
Strongly and loosely tied,
Chosen by fate, seconds too late,
Lips locked around the time,
Fingers always Entwined,
You know I'll wait,
I'll wait for you

I hoped he'd like it, and maybe, maybe one day, I'd be able to sing it for him.

As I worked on the chords, and thought of short stack, the hours ticked by, until it was 1pm, 2 hours until the concert started.

I should probably have left then, If I really wanted a good spot.

But I didn't.

I didn't care to be at the front of the crowd, i didn't want to spend my time waiting for the best place, just to be pushed and not enjoy the concert.

Instead, I opted for staying somewhere in the middle.

I pulled on my 'Shaun Stack' t-shirt, preordered of course, and pulled my brown hair back.

No dye coated my hair, it was natural, and that's how it would stay.

Add a little eyeliner, some lip balm, and my cons and I was done.

We pulled up the hall about an hour before the doors would open, and I was lucky, I got there just before the crowd.

I was right in the middle, just where I'd wanted to be.

I was supposed to be seeing Louise here, but I think she was further in front, so, I was by myself.

Waiting.

Tapping my fingers, humming under my breath, grinning stupidly to myself.

Those 60 minutes were the longest of my life.

Girls shuffled this way and that, reapplied their lip-gloss about fifty times.

One girl in front of me, who looked about 13, kept spraying hello kitty deodorant over herself every fifteen minutes, it was enough to make me choke.

I waited silently though, grinning every now and then at the vanity of most girls.

I did nothing to enhance my appearance, I didn't make myself smell like bubblegum and I didn't paint my lips, instead I simple stood and thought.

Slowly, slowly, the seconds ticked by.

And then they were over.

A stampede of girls rushed past me to the mosh.

We were supposed to be let in five at a time, but it looked like some had managed to push through.

This was a different crowd to the usual, I was used to hanging around other 16 year olds, this concert looked like it was going to be packed with 12 year olds.

Not the sort of kids I'd expected.

Ahh well, I thought to myself, as the first notes from the support band, what was it?

Ahh yes, For Our Hero, played.

Another hour until Short Stack.

The hypo music took me by surprise.

I had blocked most of the music out, concentrating on the vocals, so, when they stopped, it was, weird, I guess.

Looks like support was done, as I heard the many screams beside me.

But Short Stack were here.

I listened carefully now, my head down, just letting the beat and Shauns vocals sink into me.

"Watch them fall," his words rung out, and I smiled, not that it was a happy song, but, it was Shaun singing.

My hands held the bottom of my shirt, wringing out non-existant sweat.

My head was bowed, as the music poured into me, nothing outside would affect it.

Shaun, his voice was amazing.

"Watch them fall," the voice I knew so well rung out again.

I must have lost focus, because I really wanted to see them.

And I couln't resist, I looked up at him, trying to meet his eyes, for a short second.

The clear blue depths were so captivating, so mesmerizing, it took me a second to realize I was looking at Shaun Diviney.

The man I think I love.

The man, who was looking right back at me.

He smiled crookedly and his eyes flashed.

He was smiling at me!

That thought was enough to snap me out of it, he looked at me! He smiled at me!

My heart beat at 50 miles, and I choked, needing air.

I vaguely heard Shaun choke out the last line of the chorus, as I ran to the back of the hall, for space, and bowed my head again, ready to listen and appreciate the music.

I tried to let the music capture me, I really tried, the songs so new but so old.

The music was me, I needed to concentrate on it.

But for the rest of the concert, all I could think about was him.

Next chapter will be up as soon as my fingers leave the keyboard, I promise!
Tell me what you think if you have time.
