Make it a sweet, sweet goodbye

Rebecca’s POV
I turn round trying to contain my excitement…did he just say we have a concert to go to? Oh my god he didn’t get me tickets to the concert as well as the meeting greet did he? And he only got it because he knew how much I love Green Day, that is so sweet, hes so sweet…and hot. No! Rebecca do not think of him as anything over than your bestfriend.
“Concert?” I question, making sure I heard what I heard.
“Yeah…you don’t think I would take you to the meet and greet and not the concert after did you?” He explains, his famous charming smirk on his face. I run at him now, wrapping my arms round his neck when I reach him, he is definatly the worlds bestest friend.
“Thankyouthankyouthankyou!” I yell while hugging him. I pull out of the hug with the world’s biggest smile on my face. He smiles down at me.
“Well you miss are welcome, but we should probably go now and cue for the concert.” He replies letting go at me and taking my hand while walking in the opposite direction. The whole time he holds my hand I feel a jolt of electricity surging through my veins.

We were now halfway through the concert and so far it had been amazing! Lucky for us we got near to barrier so I was fucking close to the band, I had Alex stood behind me, he claimed it was so he could make sure no one tried to push into me or push me towards a moshpit, I couldn’t help but awww in my head at the prospect of Alex being protective over me. Halfway through 21 guns I felt Alex put his hands on my hips, slowly swaying too the music with me…that’s when I felt the girl next to me lean forward and whisper shout to us.
“May I just say…you and your boyfriend are the cutest couple ever.” She said with a smile on her face.
“Oh he’s not boyfriend.” I mumbled back a little confused.
“Yeah sure.” She replies before winking and walking off, I shrug it off realising Alex had taken no notice to what had just happened. I was getting back into the concert, I still had Alex’s arms wrapped round my waste dancing to the music, I feel Alex whisper into my ear to turn round, I look round to face him to find hes staring into my eyes. I see he starts to lean in, our lips almost touch but when Billie announces the next song I feel my body freeze, my eyes open in shock and I quickly look round to face the stage.
“Okay guys, I want you to sing loud with me…This is Wake Me Up When September Ends.” He announces into the microphone. Alex must realise I have frozen because he leans in and whispers.
“Rebecca, you okay?” He questions, concern coating his voice.
Summer had come and passed,
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends.
I needed to get out…I couldn’t listen to this song. I quickly unattached myself from Alex’s grip and start pushing myself through the crowd away from the stage.
Like my father’s come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends.
No! I will not listen to this song; I know well what this song will do to me. I start to feel the tears build up in my eyes. I have to get out, I will not stand in this crowd crying like an idiot.
“REBECCA!” I hear called from the distance, I see Alex not to far behind trying to push himself forward to me. You can see the look of worry on his face. I consider waiting for him but I hear those lyrics again.
Here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are
I turn and run, no longer caring for the people around me, I just need to get out of here, I need to get away from this song, away from these people, I knew this was a mistake, I questioned the concert earlier in the cue, but convinced myself they would not play this song…how I was so wrong. I continue running but the lyrics keep going off in my head.
As my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when September ends.
“I know I can’t forget!” I scream at the top of my lungs, the tears starting to fall from my eyes. That’s when I realise, I can run all I want, but I will never forget, I can’t run from the problems I caused! I stand there crying hysterically, thoughts in my mind changing so quickly they were making me dizzy. I heard the faint call of my name; I turned to see Alex running towards me. The music started to get quieter and my vision started to blur, I passed out as the lyrics continued in my mind…
Wake me up when September ends.
