An Unexpected Love (San E Ambw)

Warped Tour

After 3 months of getting to know each other, San E and I decided to meet up again. He said he's taking a break in the summer to see me so I was excited. I invited him to a festival called Warped Tour. That's where my band and I are performing. I didn't tell him that though. I just told him to come just to hang out. I was anxious about him coming because
1. I feel like he's not used to the metal community in general.
2. I think I like him.
I feel like he's going to get scared if he sees me performing or even scream my lungs out. But I want to make it as a surprise for him. Also, I'm trying not to like him, but OMG he's just so adorable that I can't stop thinking about him. It's like my mind wants to be friends with him but then my heart wants us to be more than that.

I was so deep into thought until Jason nudged me in the arm, "Yo are you good?" "Yea I'm good, just thinking that's all." Jason had a concerned face. "Well don't think too much or overthink ok?" "Yea" Jason worries about me a lot. Ever since I started talking to San E, he was curious about what he's like. He kinda like a big brother to me so we basically got each other's back. I was loading stuff in the van with the guys to put our equipment in the back. We put the guitars in the back and we had an extra trunk to put the amps, microphones, stereos, stuff like that. I made sure that before I leave, I tell Diana. Lolz I don't want her to worry too much so I made sure to text her at least one or three times a day to let her know that I'm ok.

When we were done, we went straight to our first destination, which was Dallas TX. I'm happy about it because the last tour that we had, Dallas was also our first show so I'm happy to see familiar faces. Since our meet up starts at 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM and we want to be there by like 2:00 PM just to chill and stuff, we had to leave at 10:00 PM at night. It's a 16 hour drive but I think we can make it. Also, Bryan was driving.

While we were getting there, I was texting San E the entire time. I don't know why I talk to him a lot, he's just cool to talk to. "Omg Angela don't catch feelings, damn." I thought. "We're just friends." I keep trying I convince myself that were just friends but it's like I want to be more than friends with him. Maybe I am overthinking. I shook my head to ignore the thoughts and focus on the window. It's calming to see cars driving by in the night and street lights on. As I was drifting off to sleep, I decided to listen to Jhené Aiko - Blue Dream. It's such a soothing song to sleep with so I just decided to put it on.

I was welcomed by a punch in the arm to wake me up. "Yo Angela get up we gotta unload the truck" Jason yelled. "BRUH really? You could've just tapped me like a fucking decent human being?" I thought. "Asshole" I said under my breath. "I think you need wash your face." Andy said with a disgusted look. I was confused. Then I remember that I drool when I sleep. "Ahh dammit" I thought as I wiped the drool of with my sweater sleeve. I got out of the car and I looked around to see if there's a place to refresh myself, and tbh the guys need to too.

[Time Skip]
Since the meetup starts at 4:00, we decided to go to our booth. Our booth is full of our band merch behind us and some of our extra equipment. When we started, the fans were so nice like OMG. Like most of them bought us gifts and fanart like it was amazing. We're very grateful for our fans because without them, we wouldn't be where we are today. We pushed the our limits to get to where we are, added to their support. So I'm really glad to see them and it just makes me happy everyday to see their smile. By the time we were done, we had to get ready for our performance.

We were backstage practicing a little bit of the new song that we rehearsed before. Burned at Both Ends. Since its summer and ITS HOT OUTSIDE, I was just wearing a basic black shirt with black jeans and black vans. When it was time, we got up and everyone was cheering for us. It gets us excited and motivated like a lot. "Are you ready?!?!" I yelled to the fans. Everyone cheered loudly. I wasn't satisfied so I said it again but in a low growl. "I said ARE. YOU. FUCKING. READY?!?!" They cheered louder than before. Feeling satisfied I introduced the song.

While I was performing, everyone was having fun, being themselves, and just having a great time. I even messed with Andy's and Rick's hair a lot on stage. When we were done, we decided to perform the next song. It's called Anger Management (by Desolist). While I was headbanging, I saw him watching me. I starred at him in shock.

Sorry if this part is long....but hopefully you like it. Continued to next part.
