WAKING up and realizing i had still been grounded made me want to close my eyes again and go back to sleep forever. it had only been a week since my "little probation" yet it felt like centuries.

loud and obnoxious knocking coming from the entry of my bedroom door, "you're going to be late for school!" my mom yelled. i groaned into my pillow while grabbing another one and pressing it against the back of my head, which looked like i had become a s'more.

i finally get up and get ready for school. i was not so pleased to go since the awkward tension coming from chris and i every time there was eye contact exchanged. it all began when our lips touched and the words i miss you escaped from his mouth.

however, the thing in my head — i felt like i had feelings for him. every time my brain decided to replay the night of the party, i would start to blush. every time i pictured how chris looked at me while we made eye contact, it made me go crazy. but i am a teenage girl, and it wasn't so plain and simple. especially when it comes to me.

"guys one more time, i need this to be perfect." i shout, turning around at nick, matt, and jack. i can tell how exhausted they were. however, i was too. but this meant so much to me, i couldn't stop until we got this exactly how i wanted it. and i was getting tired of bossing them around.

"bro, we've rehearsed like thirty times, we got to take a break." matt replied. i could tell he truly wasn't trying to be snarky. nick and jack quickly nod in agreement and i sigh out loud.

"okay, fine. fifteen minute break, then lets run it back." i said. all three of them groaned in unison. it's like they didn't realize the show was literally tonight. i was starting to get annoyed, none of them were taking it as seriously as me.

we all get off the stage and chill on the couch. jack lights up a cigarette and throws his hand out to me, offering me it. "no thanks, i quit." i said, shaking my head.

"what? since when bro? i swear i saw you smoking like last week." jack responded, laughing obnoxiously.

"i, uh.. since y/n said she doesn't like that i smoke." i honestly said. i catch myself blushing while scratching the back of my neck. jack continues to laugh and roll his eyes at me.

"wait, is y/n still grounded?" nick asked. everyone turned to look at me. i paused while i mid drink from my water bottle.

"w-why are you guys all looking at me?" i asked.

"oh shut the fuck up chris. don't act dumb. you would know out of all of us." nick replied. his voice got louder, just like it usually does when he gets fed up.

"okay, yes she still is. she isn't allowed to come tonight." i said. jack throws his cig on the cold garage floor and presses the back of his shoe against it.

"fuck, she needs to come. she is basically our number one supporter. and she has been there from the start of our band." matt said.

little do they know with everything that went down with
y/n. i doubt they knew her and i kissed at our party. i was sad thinking about her not being able to come. i want her to come to the show so badly. i even feel like play better when she is around..

"chris, hurry the fuck up. we got to leave!" nick screamed from downstairs. i shake my head like a dog to get my hair to fluff up perfectly. i look in the mirror real quick and do some touch ups. i walk out of my bedroom and go towards the top of the stairs.

"you guys leave without me, i'll meet you there." i yelled back. i quickly hear the garage door slam shut and i took that as they understood.

i whisper to myself positive things. i would be lying if i said i wasn't nervous for this show. hundreds of people were coming to see our band, and we were going against very talented bands as well. and i hated that my dad wouldn't be in that crowd.

i get in my car, and start driving. i was telling the truth when i said i would sneak y/n out it i had to. i get to her house, parking on the side so her parents don't see my car.

i get out of my car and sneakily go to the side of her house, where i look up and see her bedroom window lit up. "psttt pstttt." i yell. no response. i look around and grab little pebbles while throwing them at her window.

and that is when i see y/n come to the window with the look of confusion painted on her face. i giggle to myself, seeing how pure she looked. she unlocks her window, and opens it halfway.

"chris, oh my god!" she whisper-yelled. her hair partly in her face with the wind visibly moving it.

"i'm here to rescue you. come on." i said. she looked like she tried to cover the smile that was coming out after those words came out of my mouth. it has been a little awkward since the party but i wasn't going to stop that from bringing her to the show.

"i can't chris. my parents are downstairs, they are going to see me go through the door." she said.

"well, guess we are going with plan b. climb down here." i replied. my hand was up towards her, signaling for her to come down. she always used to sneak out from her bedroom window in middle school with me. she had a long vine that grew from the ground to her window and would clim down it.

"chris, i haven't done that in years! i'm scared." she said. i walk even closer to the wall of her house, looking even higher up.

"don't worry, im right here." i reassured her. she slowly puts one leg out of the window, following with her other leg. she then starts to clim down the vine and i had both my hands out to secure her just in case. she finally gets close to my and i put my hands on her waist and she still climbs down.

"i got you." i whispered. and then y/n jumps down when she gets to the perfect height and brushes her knees. she smiles while bringing me in for a hug.

"i can't believe you actually came for me." she mumbled in my ear while still holding me in her embrace. my eyes close, as i tighten my grip on her.

"of course." i replied.

y/n and i arrive at the concert hall. we run in, i didn't want to be late. i see matt and nick getting ready in the back. "sorry sorry, i'm here." i said, trying to catch my breath. they both look up from their instruments.

"where did you go?" matt asked.

"i picked up y/n." i said. nick and matt quickly look at each other with big smirks on their faces. i hit matt in the shoulder and he laughs. i move the velvet curtain just enough to see the crowd.

"there she is." i said, showing them. she was basically front and center and giggling with her friends. i smile to myself.

a man with a headset and clipboard come running towards us, "you guys are up in five!" he said. i rub nicks back vigorously and start hyping them up. jack comes from the shadows. who knows what he was doing.

"whatever happens tonight, no matter if we win or lose. i am so proud of all you guys. thank you for being a part of this with me." i truthfully said while staring at all three of them.

"i love you guys." matt responded. we all smiled at him.

we all get ready in our positions. i feel my heart racing and my face feels extremely hot. all my nerves were dancing throughout my body. a man introduces us over the microphone and i suddenly hear everyone in the crowd go crazy. the curtain opens up and the bright lights from the ceiling hit me.

i instantly make eye contact with y/n in the crowd, and i felt like i wasn't so nervous anymore. she gives me a reassuring smile while her eyes squint at me.

thats when i scan the crowd, and i see my father in his suit standing in the back. he slowly reaches out his hand and waves at me. i was in disbelief that he was there, that he even knew about this.

we start our song, and the crowd starts waving their hands side to side. i only was looking at y/n. the blue light hitting her face perfectly every couple seconds. her eyes sparkling when it does. i close my eyes and get lost in the music.

we finally finish, and the whole crowd claps and cheers for us. i look back at my brothers and jack and they were full of sweat but looked so accomplished. i turn back to the crowd and i see a rare sight. my dad with a smile on his face. it's like he was giving me a sign of approval across the room.

we get off the stage and go to the back for the next band to play. y/n meets up with me and runs towards me, jumping into my arms. "you were so amazing out there!" she said, with her legs wrapped around my waist.

"thank you, y/n." i whispered in her ear, clearly still out of breath from the performance. "i'm sorry, im a little sweaty." i added. she giggled while now looking at my face.

"i'm so proud of you, you don't even know it." she whispered. i catch her eyes staring to my eyes to my lips.

"i'm sorry for what happened between us these past couple weeks." i whispered back to her. she pouted, moving one of my curls out of my face.

"don't be sorry." she said, moving her eye contact back to my eyes. i couldn't handle it anymore. i lean in, and she leans just as much. our eyes both close and we kiss. i readjust her legs on my waist and secure my grip on her.

"woa, are we interrupting?" matt said. we quickly pull away from the kiss and see matt, nick, and jack coming towards us back stage. i put y/n down and she stands next to me.

y/n and i both laugh from awkwardness while looking back at each other. "ya, you actually are." y/n said, while looking up at me with a big and bright smile.

i was so happy i had my number one supporter by my side.
