Chapter 1
Christina's POV
I could barely wait. Tonight was the All Time Low concert! I had been looking forward to this for months. I was finaly old enough to go. My parents wouldn't let me go because I was 16 but now I was 17 and they didn't mind now! I had bought the tickets months ago. They were so awesome. I couldn't believe it. I was totally in love with Alex. He was so cute and sang so well. He got me everytime he played his songs. And their guitars! Jack was always so funny and making jokes. Rian behind the drums made me sweat and Zack singing along with Alex was one of the best things in life. I just loved everything about them! My best friend thought the exact same things.
We met each other trough their music. I was sitting in the sub way one morning, going to school. She sat down next to me and noticed I was listening to All Time Low. She tapped me on the shoulder and we started talking about them. We sat there, even missing our stop! We found out we went to the same high school. How could we never have seen each other? But that didn't matter. We were late at school that day. But since than we were inseperable. We couldn't do anything without each other. Everyone thought we were crazy. Even my friends before I met her. They just didn't understand the connection we had. We really could talk about everything to each other. This was something I couldn't do with my former friends. We just decided to ignore them.
Now here we were, 2 years later. We were still the best of friends. The others stopped talking about it a long time ago. They just accepted we were best friends and moved on with their lives. We did the same and talked about everything. Now we were getting ready for the concert and it was amazing. Having a friend, understanding what this was. This really was unique. We put on our black skinny jeans. We thought it was nice to match clothes. But my shoes were different. I had deep wine red Vans and she had black All Stars. I put on a wine red top. I had bought it months ago. Thinking it was the best top for this performance. Alex his favourite colour was red. So this really was perfect. Sarah, my best friend, put on her bluegreen top. That was really her colour. She had deep brow hair. Like auburn. Mine was light blonde. Her blue eyes came out very well. I myself had gray/blue/green eyes. It changed with the lighting.
I really loved this. Getting ready for the best evening in our lives. If we could only meet them. But that was very unlikely. We had already accepted that.
"So, how do I look? Could I get Alex' attention?" I asked Sarah.
"Yes, totally! But not before I catch Jack's attention!" she laughed at me.
"What if we run into some cute guys? Would they be jealous?" I laughed.
"Well yes, of course. They would be green with jealousy", she said, giving me a wink.
She really knew me so well!
"Let's go! The lines will be really long! And I want to be in the front", she said while pulling my arm.
It was really early. But she was right. The lines would be long and the room they were playing in wasn't too big. I really wanted to be in the front row. I wanted to feel his sweat dripping on me. Yes, I know that sounds really weird, but it was the closest I would ever get to him. So I was going to enjoy this as well as I could. We raced down the hallway.
"Bye Mom! I won't be late!" I screamed while going out the door.
Sarah dragged me into her car and started driving. We had to be there fast. I was taking pictures and putting them on instagram. While doing that I was updating my twitter. I had a lot of followers. They really read all my posts. It was really nice. Sarah was driving like a maniac. I really thought we were going to be pulled over for her racing. But surprisingly there wasn't a cop car anywhere in sight. We were very lucky. In New York there were a lot of police controls. They must have the night off. Sarah screamed at every car getting in front of her and driving really slow. She cursed at the red lights. I was so amused by all this. She was so nervous. I think even more than me. This was great. Finally we got to the place. She parked her car on the other side of the street. We ran over the street and got there in time. There weren't too many people in front of us. So we would definitely be in the front row. I was really looking forward to this. I was so nervous!
After a few hours of waiting we finally got in. Over the hours, the line had only grown longer and longer. Everyone wanted to get in. Plus it was getting colder outside. I was glad I had put on my leather jacket. Sarah was freezing her but off. I was making fun of her for being here without a jacket. When we got in we rushed towards the front of the stage. We were right in front of the microphone. Where Alex would be standing. I was so proud of us!! I was sure I would feel his sweat now!
"Oh my God! We're really in the front row! I am so happy we got here so early!" Sarah screamed. There really was no need to scream so loud. It wasn't that loud in here. But she was so excited.
"Yeah, you weren't that happy 10 minutes ago when you were freezing your butt off!" I laughed at her. She was pissed now. I could tell. But it would be over in a few seconds.
"I wonder what they will be playing tonight. I hope there will be some classics. Like Weightless and Damned If I Do Ya!" She was still screaming.
"Oh, yeah! They have to play Weightless! I know that one by heart!" I screamed back at her. So she wasn't alone in her screaming.
We stood there talking for about 15 minutes. Then the room went dark and the band came on stage. We were screaming with all the other girls here in the room. There were a few guys there too. There was in fact one standing right next to me. He was wearing glasses, inside a building, where it was dark. Really? And he was also wearing a beanie. Oh wow, he was full of himself. But at least he had good taste in music. It was like he felt me looking at him. He turned to face me and I saw he had a lip-piercing. That was sexy! He gave me a little smile. I smiled back and then turned my attention to the stage. Where Alex was greeting us.
"Well hello New York! Are you ready to rock???!!!" he screamed.
I screamed back, along with every other person in the room. They started a song of their new album. It was called the Reckless and the Brave. I started singing along. We all did anyway. I was jumping up and down. While Alex was singing. He played guitar so well! I was really loving this. My feet didn't seem to care about the slippery ground. Everyone was spilling beer and drinks because they were jumping. I decided to take of my jacket and put it over the barricade. It was so hot in here. Next they played Break Your Little Heart. I screamed along, again. This was a good party. And I was in excellent company. The guy next to me was singing as well. And jumping with one arm up in the air. He looked so cool. Then, all of the sudden, I was wet. Alex had splashed his water bottle over us.
"It's pretty hot in here isn't it?" he said in the microphone.
It really was hot in here. I had never experienced anything like this. Song after song came and at some point I fell down. The ground really was slippery. The guy next to me helped me up.
"Thanks!" I screamed.
"I like helping pretty girls!" he screamed back. Well that was nice. A good looking guy saying this to me.
They started playing Damned If I Do Ya. This really was one of my favourites. I started singing along again. The guy next to me was looking at me in fascination. I liked it.
"You really are a big fan aren't you?" he said as loud as he could.
"Yeah, aren't you?" I winked at him.
"Yeah, what's your name?" He asked me, out of the blue.
"I'm Christina! Yours?"
"Luke! Nice to meet you!" He smiled at me.
Oh, his name was like Luke Hemmings. You know, that guy from 5 Seconds of Summer. Sarah and me were crazy about them too. He also had a lip-piercing. Wow, that was weird. If I could only see his eyes...
"We have a friend of ours here in the room!" Alex yelled. "Luke Hemmings! Why don't you join us here on stage to sing a song?"
What? He was here?
"Well, I guess that's my cue", Luke said next to me. Taking of his glasses he went on stage.
It really was him. What? How could I have missed that?
-----------------------------
Luke's POV
Wow, she really was beautiful. I had never seen someone like her before. She was the cutest thing I had ever seen. She was talking to me, not realizing who I was. How nice. Then Alex called me on stage.
"We have a friend of ours here in the room!" Alex yelled. "Luke Hemmings! Why don't you join us here on stage to sing a song?"
He had been one our inspirations during our years of singing. We met a few months ago. I told him I was coming to this concert. So he had to call me on stage now.
"Well, that's my cue", I told her. The look on Christina's face was worth it. She was looking at me with awe. Well now she knew me. I guess she was a fan too. I didn't know we had that cute fans!
"Thanks Alex!" I yelled while patting him on the back. "What song do you want us to play tonight?" My guitar was already coming.
"Well, I think Weightless would be a good one, don't you guys?" Alex yelled.
That was the song I wanted to sing. I really liked that one, because I could always relate to it. We started. I started on the guitar. Alex started singing.
"But I'm stuck in this fucking rut..." That was where I started singing. The crowd went totally crazy. This wasn't normal! I saw Christina jumping in the front row. She was singing along again. I could see this was one of her favourite songs too. She was even headbanging. It was a really nice sight. I was really enjoying myself up here. Alex and I was just singing as good as we could. And sounded pretty good. When the song was over so was the concert. I went backstage and found a security guy.
"Hey, could you do me a favor?" I asked him.
"Yes sir, what is it?" he answered directly.
"That girl there in the front row, the one with the red top on. Could you go and get her? Take her friend too."
"Yes sir, I'll be right back." He left for the front of the stage. I saw how surprised she was. She came immediately.

Christina's POV
"Can you girls come with me?" a big security guy asked us.
"Ehm, yes?" I answered.
We followed him. I didn't know what was going on here. We went backstage. What? And there he was. Luke was waiting for me.
"Hello there, nice to see you again", he winked.
"Well, you could've told me who you were!" I said.
"Wait, you know Luke Hemmings?" Sarah shrieked.
"No, I mean, a bit. He was standing next to me during the concert and we talked a little", I told her.
"NO WAY!" she screamed.
"So can I talk to you in private for a few seconds?" he asked me. "I've arranged Alex to talk to her."
"Okay, but only if I can meet Alex too afterwards", I told him with a smile. I hoped I was looking cute. Not only for Alex but for Luke too.
"Yes, sure!" He whisked me away to a private room.
This must be a dressing room! This person was really messy. There were pants everywhere. There was a big mirror. With a lot of light bulbs next to it. In the corner stood a big stereo. They must have played music in here. Luke sat down on the couch and ordered me to do the same. So I did. This was definitely not how I imagined this night to go. I mean, I was sitting next to Luke Hemmings! He was so cute.
"So, I'll be straight forward", he said while he was looking at me.
"Yes?"
"Can I have your number?" he asked me, a little shy.
"Ofcourse! I mean, sure", I said, trying to act cool.
"Nice, so here's my phone." He gave me his phone and I put my number in there. He immediately send me a text.
'Hello!' it said.
"Well, you were really good up there tonight!" I told him.
"Did you like the song?" he asked me, almost searching for approval.
"Weightless is my favourite one! And you singing it made it even better!" I screamed.
"Wow! Calm down you!" he laughed. "I take that you are a fan of 5 Second of Summer?"
"Yes, a little.." I averted my face. I was certainly blushing.
"I am glad I met a fan!" he told me, winking. "I think we have to go back."
"Oh, right."
We got up and walked back to where Sarah was standing. She was in a conversation with Alex. I was a little bit jealous. But I just had a conversation with Luke. So there was nothing to be jealous about.
"Hey! I am Christina!" I said to Alex, while stretching my hand out to shake his. He ignored this and went straight to a hug.
"I love to meet fans!" he said.
We stood there talking for a little while longer. I looked at my phone and saw it was almost past curfew.
"We have to go!" I screamed.
"Okay, okay", Sarah reassured me.
"Can I at least have picture with you guys?" I asked Luke and Alex. They said yes and we were taking a picture.
One alone with Luke, one alone with Alex, with them both and then one of us all. This was so nice. I was so posting this on instagram and twitter!
"Bye, I'll text you", Luke told me. He leaned down to kiss my cheek. I was so happy. This was the best night ever!
We walked away and I looked back, looking at Luke. He just stood there with a smile.
