Band Imagines

ATL - Jack Barakat

Acoustic

JACK

Every time we come back to Baltimore I always make sure I get to see this amazing girl at a small club not many people knew about. I was friends with the owner because All Time Low had played here a few times before getting signed. The girl in question was y/f/n y/l/n, she played an acoustic set made up of covers and a few original songs thrown in. She had an amazing vocal range which made her covers sound like they could be one of her originals.

I wanted to tell her how good she was but every time she finished her set I got nervous. Tonight though I was going to speak to her, musician to musician. I got a beer and found a secluded spot away from the crowd which seemed to grow each time I came, y/n was very popular online and a joy to watch live.

The lights dimmed and she came on stage holding a guitar which had seen better days before she sat on the stool set up for her. The crowd cheered and she thanked them for coming before diving into her set.

1. Bring Me To Life - Evanescence

2. Drown - Bring Me The Horizon

3. Angel Tears - Original

4. Call Me Back - Original

5. Silence - Original

6. Still Into You - Paramore

7. Time Bomb - All Time Low

8. Ripped Jeans - Original

9. Dance With The Devil - Original

10. Wrecking Ball - Miley Cyrus

I was happy she played an All Time Low song, though she always tried to include at least one in her sets. Ripped Jeans and Angel Tears were new songs, it was good to see her playing more original material because it showed her growth as an artist and as a writer. Now I just needed to tell her all this.

Y/N

The crowd went wild; they seemed to really like the new material.

"Thank you for coming out tonight all you lovely people. I do this for you guys so go forth and share on social media, until next time goodnight."

You throw a few picks into the crowd before leaving the stage. It was a thrill performing, though you did dream of bigger stages and maybe a couple more members to take your songs to the next level.

You loved your fans and happily posed for pictures and signed things. You then order a beer and relax at the bar already planning the set list for your next performance unaware that someone was behind you until they cleared their throat and made you jump slightly. You turn on the stool and nearly choke on your beer upon coming face to face with Jack Barakat, had he heard you perform his bands' song? What if he came over to say he hated it, you didn't think you could cope if your idol hated on your voice.

"Can I just say wow y/n, your set was amazing especially Angel Tears. I swear you get better each time I see you perform, and no that wasn't meant to come across as creepy."

"You've seen me perform before Jack?"

He nods and slides onto the stool next to you before ordering himself a beer.

"At first I stumbled upon you around a year ago when All Time Low were back in town. But now I make sure to catch your set every time I come back before tonight I was too nervous to approach you."

You were slightly flattered that the Jack Barakat was a fan of yours. It was also cute how he was nervous to talk to you if you'd known he was watching you all these times maybe he could have come on stage and performed with you.

"Why thank you, Jack. I watch All Time Low whenever you guys are in town. I'm glad you came over tonight."

Jack laughs and sips his beer.

"So am I, so can I be a fangirl and ask for a picture and an autograph?"

You nod and blush when he drapes his arm casually over your shoulder before pulling out his phone, well you could tick this off your bucket list. This night couldn't get any better.
