    You opened your eyes again to see Raquel leaning over you off the edge of the couch. "Wake up!" You looked at your phone and your alarm had been going off for over 10 minutes now.. but you forgot to turn your ringer on. Good thing Raquel woke you up.

    You got up and rubbed your eyes. Raquel was still in her pajamas, wrapped up in the same blanket from last night. "I'm going to get something to eat so you can take the shower first if you want." You thanked her and went to your room to find some clothes to wear to the show.

    You decided on a black tank top and baggy black jeans. Paired with a white zip up hoodie and some white sneakers. No need to dress all fancy. You grabbed a towel on the way to the bathroom and took a nice relaxing shower.

    You walked into the living room, still towel drying your hair. Raquel was eating breakfast like she said. Probably some leftovers she found, you knew Raquel didn't know how to cook. You dropped your towel off in the laundry as she finished up her food and grabbed clothes out of her bag to shower.

    You decided to skip breakfast since you weren't that hungry and you figured you could just pick up something after the show.

    You waited for Raquel while grabbing your phone, keys, tickets, and a tote bag since you were going to make sure to get merch this time.

    Once Raquel finished up, you both left and got in Raquel's car.

    "Oh, Raquel! I forgot to tell you, I had a really weird dream last night." "What was it?" She seemed half curious but once you told her who it was about, you piqued her interest. "What happened?" She asked.

    You explained all the details of your dream to her as she started the car and pulled out of the parking lot. "You know what I think about your dream?" "What?" You asked. "I think... You find Eric a little cuteeeee." She teased you.

    You tilted your head down in thought. "Well I guess? That's it though. I'd be crazy if I developed a crush on some random singer I'll never see again." "Oh come on.. he probably thinks you're cute too." You rolled your eyes. "I'm serious! Think about it! How he held you to pose for that picture, and how he looked at you when we left..and I bet the tickets were just an excuse for him to talk to you again! That's why they're backstage." She looked so proud of her theory.

    "Sureee.." You didn't believe her one bit. She always said stuff like this to keep you confident. Raquel was convinced every man in a 100 mile radius had a crush on her best friend, when in reality you'd been single for a long time now. You had absolutely no hoes.

    "You don't have to believe me.. it's trueee. Anyways we're here and we're early too! Hurry get a place at the front of the line!" You got out of the car quickly and ran up to the gate while Raquel stayed behind to turn the car off and lock the doors etc. Once done she joined you and you waited for security to start asking for tickets.

    Finally, the doors opened. You showed the security your tickets before rushing directly to the merch stand. You bought a t-shirt with what you assumed to be his logo on it and Raquel got an extra large hoodie.

    This time, there was no barrier between the crowd and the stage, so you and Raquel claimed spots right at the front of it.

    Around 10-15 minutes later, the one and only dark haired boy appeared from backstage. "HI ARIZONA!" He yelled. "I'm not wasting any time. Enjoy the show!"

    The first track started playing and you recognized it immediately. He was singing "first day of summer" from his new album "things with wings" and it was one of your favorites.

    You and Raquel sang along. He played a few more songs before Ash came out and sang along with him. Eric spotted you and Raquel at the front of the crowd and smiled before walking towards you. You put your hand out and he knelt down, taking off one of his rings and sliding it on your finger instead. Then, he held your hand while continuing to sing.

    "You giving up your heart," He stepped back and pointed at you. "I'll have to give you mine." Raquel elbowed you and winked. The girls around you all screamed. You just shook your head and smiled.

     Ash stayed on stage for the rest of the show but after that moment, you couldn't take your eyes off of Eric.

    After the show ended, he thanked the crowd and mentioned backstage passes, the meet n greet and exclusive merch. You and Raquel found the line backstage and waited like last time.

    Once the line started moving and you were backstage, you saw the table Eric was standing at. Ash was standing next to him. Eric was talking pictures with fans and signing autographs. He looked like he couldn't be any happier.

    Once we got to the table, he smiled and greeted us. "Don't worry I remember you." He smiled at us and Ash waved. "I never got your name though.." He said suggestively. "It's Lei," You smiled. "and this is Raquel." You introduced her and she waved excitedly.

    "Can we take another picture?" Raquel asked and the two agreed. We posed the same as before but Eric instead hugged you from behind, resting his chin on your shoulder.

    Before you left, Eric signed and gave you one of the photographs of himself he has printed and set on the table to give out as autographs. "Nice to see you again." He said and smiled.

    You and Raquel stopped to get food on the way back and she wouldn't stop talking about what happened during the concert. She was convinced Eric had some sort of crush on you. You looked down at the ring and smiled. "Keep dreaming Raquel, no chance." "I'm telling you." she said.

~~

    You unlocked your apartment and walked in, taking off your shoes and sitting on the couch immediately. You looked back at the ring he gave you and smiled. It was the ring he wore on his pinky finger, but it was almost to big to wear on your middle.

    You looked at the autograph of him again and flipped it in your hands a few times. Something was written on the back in sharpie.

    "xxx-xxxx-xxxx ::)"
