Just Wait a While: [A Patrick Stump x Reader fan fiction]

Chapter 9: I Wanna Scream "I Love You" From the Top of My Lungs...

Patrick's POV

"And when the song ends, you take (Y/N)'s hand and-"

"Hello boys, talking about me?" (Y/N) yawned as she walked in from the sleeping area.

The four of us looked to her and stared. My mind raced, What had she heard? Does she know what I'm going to do? ABORT, ABORT.

"Are you guys okay?" She raised an eyebrow and sat next to me on the couch. "You look like you've seen a ghost..."

"Uhm... Listen, are you sure-" She turned her eager eyes towards me. "...A-are you sure you're well enough to go to tonight's concert?"

The other three guys looked at me in irritation, as if to say 'Oh, so you're really not going through with this?' But honestly, I really hoped she would say no, I was scared out of my wits about what I was going to do tonight.

"'Trick, I know you were worried about me but, I'm fine," Empathy shone through her voice. "I got over my fever a few days ago, for God's sake." She chuckled lightly.

"I know, I'm just..." I sighed, "I know."

She gave me a soft smile.

Pete suddenly cleared his throat, "Uh, how about (Y/N) gets dressed and then we all head to the venue."

"Sounds good," she pushed herself up from the couch and walked into the back of the bus.

"Ugh," I rolled my head back, covering my face. "I don't know if I'm gonna be able to do this..."

Pete walked over and sat next to me, "Come on, buddy. You got this."

Andy spoke up, "Listen, this is (Y/N) we're talking about. The amazing, caring girl that you've been friends with for over ten years. You've been in love with her since the day you met and now it's time for you to tell her everything you've been keeping inside for all this time. You have nothing to worry about."

"What he said..." Joe added.

"Thanks guys," I smiled. Now I wish I could say all that...

"Everyone ready?" (Y/N)'s voice rang out as she sauntered back in.

She was beautiful, it wasn't even like she was dressed up. She still kind of had bed head and was just in jeans, a t-shirt, and a zip sweatshirt.

"Y-yeah, I think we're ready..." I smiled.

Reader's POV

"This is a nice dressing room," you stretched your arms back behind your head as you plopped down on the couch.

Pete crossed his arms, "You can't be in here."

"And why not?" You leaned forward resting your arms on your knees and cocked an eyebrow.

"Because we need to get changed!" He threw his arms in the air.

"Well, there ya go..." I nodded towards a room divider in the corner.

"I-You..." He took a deep breath, "Look, Can you just wait outside for two minutes? Please?"

"Alright, alright." You held your hands in defeat and walked out the door.

Patrick's POV

"So, are you ready for tonight?" Pete asked as soon as the door was shut.
