amber peeked from behind the curtain and watched as more and more people piled into the venue.

"oh my god." amber muttered to herself.

"not wanting to leave just yet, are ya?" a voice said from behind amber, and she turned to see josh.

he was wearing a sparkling blue jumpsuit with stars scattered across it.

"we always manage to match, don't we?" amber asked and josh laughs lightly.

"the press are going to have a field day when they see us matching." josh said.

"oh, i take it you've seen the magazine?" amber asked.

josh nodded.

"yep, it's crazy how excited they get over matching bracelets." josh stated, and amber smiled.

josh then looked at amber's outfit, smiling.

"you really do look perfect." he said, looking up to her.

amber's cheeked turned a bright red.

"t-thank you." she managed to get out, "you don't look so bad yourself." she then joked.

josh smiled brightly and then shrugged his shoulders, "i try."

amber then turned around looked pulled the curtain to the side, and looked back out into the audience, feeling josh's presence now beside her.

"there is so many people." amber said, now noticing that there were twice as many people compared to when she last looked out.

josh smiled to amber, "after doing this for years, you are still always shocked at how many people come out." josh said, "some people you recognise from previous gigs, and you're like "wow, you're still following us?" and others are new faces and you know you'll see them again in the future."

amber smiled as she looked to josh, "do you remember the faces you see in the audience?" she asked.

"most of the time." he said.
she smiled, "i wonder if i'll see anyone from the smaller gigs we did."

"boys, you're on in fifteen minutes!" a man called out.

"well i better get back to the dressing room with the other guys." josh said, dropping the curtain and stepping back.

"i'll be here watching you when you get on stage." amber said, smiling to him.

josh smiled brightly before turning around and walking off but then he quickly turned back to amber.

"you look perfect by the way!" josh yelled out, and amber blushed profusely.

"you already said that!" she said, laughing slightly.

josh laughed, "i know, i just wanted to remind you."

amber smiled, "thank you." she said.

josh smiled before turning around and walking down the hallway into the distance, eventually opening a door and walking in.

amber then turned around and took one last look out into the audience, before turning back and walking down the hallway.

suddenly, a woman that looks to be more than a few years younger than amber, jumped in front of her.

"hi! i'm emily, and i'm photographing your band and greta van fleet for the australian tour." she said happily, holding her hand out to amber.

"hey, it's nice to meet you." amber said, smiling softly to her.

"i'm so excited to photograph you all! i feel like you'll be so amazing live!" emily said.

amber thought back to the last time they performed live, and cringed as she remembered taylor vomiting off the side of the stage, but luckily no one other than her and nick noticed.
