Chapter Five – The Gig of Destiny

ISABELLE'S POV

When I woke up after my "nap" it was morning. I slept the whole day and night through. Damn. Was I really THAT depressed?

I felt pain in my chest when I looked beside me and no one was there. Then I remembered Steven and I broke up a couple of days ago. Wow.

I got up, went to the bathroom, got dressed and went out for breakfast.

I went to McD's to get me some grub when I spotted Natalia, my friend from work.

"OH HOLY CHRIST! What happened to you love? You look so, so un-you!" She shrieked.

"Well Nat, I broke up with You Know Who the other day, and I feel like crap. I got bumped by a guy who spilled my coffee yesterday, and I was crying the whole afternoon. I slept until 7am today, and I feel like the whole world has exploded and left me all alone like a sick puppy or something." I sadly replied.

"Oh honey, let's go to McD's. I know you fancy some pancakes. Tell me everything, and I'll do my best to comfort you. Even if it means I have to get you the number of that cute waiter we always fantasized before."

I laughed at her idea and we went on our way for breakfast. Strange, even if she made me laugh, there was something missing in the picture. I wonder what.

So, when I told Nat about everything that has happened to me – even shed a few droplets of tears – she asked me if I was free tonight.

"After all I've said to you, you ask me out on a date? That's why I love you Nat." I said.

"I love you too. Now are you free or what?" She replied.

"Yes I am. Where are we going exactly?" I asked.

"Well, there's this band playing tonight called All Time Low at the coffee shop next to Josh's workplace. And he's inviting me to go. He also said I could bring a friend and Her date. So would you go with me to this gig from this band I never heard from before?" She said.

"As long as there's coffee. I'm in. But, I don't have a date!" I said.

"It's okay hon. We'll find you a date at the gig. There will be a lot of g

uys there." She answered.

I thought about what Natty said, and she was right. I think I needed a break from all of this emotional discomfort. I really need to loosen up or I might get crazy.

"Oh, and by the way, I should get you clothes honey, you look bland." She said and dragged me to her car where we drove for a couple of minutes to the mall.

ALEX'S POV

"Alex-boo!" Jack shouted.

"What?" I answered.

"We need to get ready in five! Stop daydreaming about this lass and get to band mode. I'm getting jealous!" He said.

He was right. I couldn't stop thinking about this girl and when would I see her again. I shrugged her off my mind for a while to get into band mode. We were gonna be performing to some record label guys and some audience that might change the track of our future.

As we walked on stage and went to our places, I thought about her, and smiled. She makes me happy. I really want to make her mine now.

"Hey guys, good evening! How are ya? We're a band named All Time Low. I'm Alex, that guy with the 'fro is Zack, the guy with the drums is Rian, and that guy with the faggy hair is my boyfriend for life – Jack. We're here today because that guy Matt over there tortured us with no doughnut days anymore. So yeah. We're here. This first song goes out to this girl I met a couple of days ago who doesn't stop running around my mind. It's called Just A Daydream Away. Hope you like it."

I wish you could see your face right now
'Cause you're grinning like a fool
And we're sitting on your kitchen floor
On a Tuesday afternoon
It doesn't matter when we get back
To doing what we do
'Cause right now could last forever
Just as long as I'm with you
You're just a daydream away
I wouldn't know what to say if I had you
And I'll keep you a daydream away
Just watch from a safe place
So I never have to lose
We would go out on the weekend
To escape our busy lives
And we'd laugh at all the douche-bag guys
Chasing down their desperate wives
I would drink a little too much
You would offer me a ride
And I would offer you a t-shirt
And you'd stay another night
But you're just a daydream away
I wouldn't know what to say if I had you
And I'll keep you a daydream away
Just watch from a safe place
So I never have to lose
We never stood a chance out there
Shooting love in real-time
So we'll take it over ice tonight
With a little salt
And a little lime
You're just a daydream away
I wouldn't know what to say if I had you
And I'll keep you a daydream away
Just watch from a safe place
So I never have to lose
You're just a daydream away
I wouldn't know what to say if I had you

When we finished the song, applauses went off like fireworks in the fourth of July. We were so happy that I didn't notice she was there.
