First Look
“Face first, full charge, electric hammer to the heart,” I sang softly getting lost in the music that was being produced through my headphones as I cleaned up the small two-bedroom apartment that I shared with my best friend Scarlet. I continued vacuuming as the song changed to Would you mind one of my favorite songs by N.O.N. By the time I was done vacuuming the song was almost done so I decided that I wanted to listen to it again
“I got a question for ya, I got a question If I pulled you closer, would you mind? Would you mind? Would you mind? If my hands get lower when we grind, When we grind, would you mind?” I sang dancing on top of Scarlet and I’s the coffee table. I did a little spin that is when I spotted Scar in the archway recording my whole ass dance session. I immediately jump off the coffee table. I pointed down she knew that I wanted her to stop recording my ridiculousness.
“Fine,” she grumbled out and stopped recording. “you did sound good though Stormi,” She says
“Yeah, of course, I did it’s totally not because you’re trying to butter me up,” I say sarcasm dripping out of every word I spoke.
“one day someone that’s not your brother or me is gonna tell you the same shit,”
“I’m sure they will when pigs fly,” I give her a small fake smile.
Scarlet only rolled her eyes in response.
“Go get your ass ready for N.O.N’s concert we only have two hours to get ready if we wanna make it on time,”
“I can’t believe you got us tickets to fucking N.O.N, this is so exciting I’m so gonna rub it in all my follower’s faces, not only that I can’t fucking wait for us to meet Val since you also got us backstage passes I want to see his eight pack and his dreamy brown eyes, his chopped dirty blonde hair and his drumming skills I can’t wait for that you think he’ll teach me,” she says.
“Okay, Scar you are literally rambling and I think the odds of you seeing his abs are very low,” I say and shake my head at her craziness.
We’re currently on our way to the concert I was wearing blue jeans that were ripped just below the butt so you could see a little bit of my butt cheeks with a white cropped shirt and white suspenders with black chan on one strap and nelle on the other end with black doc martins. My make-up was done simple a nude pink lip with liner and blush and some highlight and my blue hair was cascading down my back. Scar was wearing a cute black and white checkered skirt with a white long sleeve cropped shirt with white converse. her was hair was currently shoulder-length blonde and her’s was as simple as mine not wanting to go all out. We were singing creep by N.O.N by the time we got to the spot that they were performing at. We walked in showing our tickets and backstage passes for later. We were one of the first few here we got our seats in the front and put our stuff in front of us so we could see where our stuff was. Scar turned to me
“Who’s the opener,” she asks eagerly I roll my eyes but respond to her question
“Dua Lipa,”
“Fuck Yea,” Scar yelled
“Are you kidding me Scar seriously I’m sure all of N.O.N just heard your ass,” I whisper-yell at her?
“Oh they did look,” she says pointing to the stage.
I looked and saw all four N.O.N members starring at us they had light smiles on their faces but one particular smile caught my attention Taylor Amell’s Lead vocals and guitarist. I turned my head quickly when I started to feel something I didn’t know how to identify.
“I’m gonna go get a drink you want something,” I asked while still feeling his eyes on me and Scar who looked just about ready to faint when she caught Val’s eyes. she only nodded her head in response. I was quick to scurry out of the auditorium. I walked around a little until I found the drink counter I ordered a beer and a cheery cola with rum for Scar. I walk back into the auditorium. By the time I got back it was already packed; It took a while to get to my seat I had to squeeze through people spilled a little of Scar’s drink on the floor to avoid it going on my top but I made it safely. It was a good thirty minutes before they finally started the concert of course Dua Lipa did amazing but I was ready for Taylor to come out on stage I mean I ready for N.O.N to come out on stage. You could hear the beginning of Now or Never which had Val playing the drums Ryder on base with Brann and Taylor on guitar. Then Taylor came in with his lyric while staring me down it was like he was trying to convey a message to me through the words of his song that let me know that he felt it to this urge to not only be near him but protecting it cause as he sang it was now or never and he was ready to fall and if he was then I was too. One of my favorite songs came on and I couldn’t help but break eye contact to dance to this song Permission. “We don’t permission for nothing touch like you want to be touched yeah kissed like you want to be kissed yea,” I sang at the top of my lungs and turn as I was dancing and came in contact with Taylor, and the smile he was giving me while he sang was amazing.
“Is Taylor staring at you,” Scar said over the music. all I could do was nod as I swayed my hips to the music. Then he spoke and I died just kidding about the dying “Hello, San Diego thank you for having us, it’s good to be in my hometown for the opening of our first world tour this next song goes out to someone special,” he paused and look at me quickly before continuing on.
“Oh my gosh Taylor is so into you,” Scar said clearly seeing what I was feeling. I didn’t bother answering her. Then the band started playing Fixed. My eyes widened because this was also one of my favorite songs. ”I’m a shipwreck waiting for you
You’re the rock that stopped me going
Anywhere, anywhere
Going anywhere, anywhere
You’re the storm that took me under
Before I knew it was you
I was already going down, going down
I was going down, going down
Anytime that you leave
I find it hard just to breathe
I come apart in every way
You never put me back again
Every time you go I come a little undone
Even when it hurts, I’m holding on to your love
Like I’m fixed, fixed, fixed
You got me fixed on you
And you can walk away but I could never let go
Don’t know how you did it but I’m set in stone
Like I’m fixed, fixed, fixed
You got me fixed on you," he sang when the beat dropped on fixed I started swaying so much more. God, I think to myself this is going to be one long-ass eventful concert with the way we are going I think to myself.
