Chapter 27;
Lupe's POV;
The show was insane. Oh, how I've missed it.
The kids are always so full of energy, and just plain passion. Whenever I stand in front of them, I can't help but scan the crowd and wonder which one of them will be up here in a few years' time, wondering the same thing as me.
"Did you have fun?" I called to Jess as she came offstage, throwing her a towel.
She grinned at me, "It's fucking insane out there!"
I nodded and took my place by the stage to watch Mayday Parade. I've always had a soft spot for them, and Derek was the sweetest guy ever. He was the kind of guy you wish you could just marry and have a few kids with, but nothing dirty, just like snuggling next to him by the fire. Cute stuff.
I wasn't sure if was the best idea to watch them play, not with my emotions running wild and such. But I felt like I had to show some kind of showmanship, every band and crew had watched our first show of the tour, and The Summer Set's, I felt like I should be able to sit through the final two sets for as long as I possibly could.
"Hey guys!" Derek smiled onstage after they finished their opening song, Oh Well Oh Well. "We have a special request to kick this tour off! It's from some guy backstage who would rather go unnamed, but here is I'd Rather Be Hopeless Than Romantic!"
I smiled, that was one of my favourite Mayday Parade songs, if I had to choose between them all, Mason had probably told them about it after I'd annoyed them the entire ride up here playing it and saying how cool it would be for them to play it this tour.
"Wow. Ironic huh?" Mason said, walking up behind me, "You must be crying your feels on the inside"
I nudged him playfully, "Yeah because it totally wasn't you who asked them"
He just looked at me for a second, and then shrugged, "Maybe it was Sam or Jason"
I shrugged too; maybe Mason was just messing around with me, trying to make me read into something that wasn't there. That was a huge issue of mine, I read into stuff so deeply that I usually ended up disappointed by the actual ending.
"Actually, it might've been Jack or Alex. I told them about how you were playing it all the way up here" He added after a moment,
I froze for half a second and then tried my best to act completely natural, "Oh, why?"
"They asked about you. Y'know, how you are, what you are up to nowdays, the usual I guess"
"And what did you say?!" I practically demanded, I bit my lip. So much for looking cool and causal. Way to go.
"Um, I'm not sure?" He started, narrowing his eyes slightly at me, "Just that like, you're acting really weird and annoying us by staying in the bus"
So, he basically made me sound like some anti-social hermit. Great, thanks Mason. This is why you are single; you don't understand anything about girls.
I nodded and turned back to the stage as Mayday was just finishing off the song. Derek flashed me a quick grin which made me smile back mutually in friendship. He obviously was told by whomever about my fangirl state over that song. I'm totally going to attack him and ask him who asked him for that song though, I won't let it rest.
'Try and make up your mind, I'll make it up for you'
Then again, maybe it wasn't too hard to figure out on my own.
