I sighted when she had left. She totally twisted my head, I couldn't believe it. I mean, I'm 22 and she's nearly 17. Is it weird to like her? I rolled onto my back and crossed my hands over my stomach. I stared at the ceiling and closed my eyes. I took a little nap.


A little bit later, my best friend Austin shook me.
"Wake up, little ginger. We arrived!" he said and grinned. I opened up my eyes and stared at him with my sleepy eyes.
"We arrived at the club, get up and help us to manage the stuff. The show starts tonight." he added and I nodded.
"Okay, give me a minute." I answered and got up. I changed my clothes from a jeans and a tank top to a jogging pants and a big grey tee from Nirvana. After that, I went out of the bus and the guys already carried the whole stuff.
"Alan, over here!" Quinn yelled, while she waved to me. I quickly walked up to her.
"Can you help me with the boxes of the merch? Alex is already inside and provides the table." she asked friendly and I smiled at her.
"Yeah sure." I answered and took a few boxes, before I carried them through the backdoor. I looked around and I noticed Alex in a corner, where he had placed the table. I went to him and gave him the first boxes.
"Wait here, I'll take the rest." he said and ran out to Quinn, to help her. I looked around. The club was big.
"Alan, we have to do the soundcheck!" Aaron yelled to me, from the stage. I quickly jumped onto the stage and grabbed my guitar.


-at the show-

Quinn's POV:

I stand behind the table, next to Alex. The club was full of peoples. Mostly girls. They were here, just for Of Mice & Men, for my brother's band. It was always my dream to see them live and now, I'm here, as their merch girl and I can see their shows. I couldn't believe that. My biggest dream came true. I watched my brother, screaming his songs on the stage for his fans. The whole band had fun and everyone gave their best to make a good show. I crossed my arms in front of my chest and sat down on the stool, which stands behind the table. I enjoyed the show. Until the lights went a bit darker. The band paused their guitars and drums and Austin placed himself in the middle of the stage onto a amplifier. A spotlight pointed onto him. I wondered what happend now.
"Our next song is decided to my wonderful little sister Quinn over there at our merch table!" he said and I had to smile big, when he mentioned my name. The whole crowd were silent, while my brother spoke. After he finished his words, the crowd screamed.
"Shh! Shh! Be quiet!" Austin told the crowd.
"Quinn, come here!" he yelled into the microphone. I flinched quickly, before I slowly made my way through the crowd over to the stage. One of the security guards helped me to get onto the stage. Austin pulled me into a quick hug, before he wrapped a arm around me. The whole crowd was staring at me. I got nervous. Very nervous. I could feel that I got a panic attack again. I swallowed hard. I tried to restrain it, becaue I don't wanted to destroy that moment, it was beautiful.
"Let's hear it for my sister Quinn, she had to through much shit in her past." he said and the crowd yelled loud.
"Wow, San Jose, you're insane!" he wondered and I felt that I couldn't restrain the panic attack anymore. I suddenly ran off the stage, into the backstage area. Everyone looked after me. Austin freezed for a few seconds. The crowd went silent. They all whispered to each other. Alan walked up to Austin.
"I will look at her." he said, placed his guitar into the guitar stand. He went to the backstage area.
"Okay, sorry guys. I have no idea what's going on right now. Give us a second, we will fix this." he explained to the crowd.
I sat onto a couch in the backstage area and cried into my knees, when I heard Alan's voice in front of me. I looked up.
"Are you alright?" he asked worried, when Austin walked in.
"What's wrong, sweatheart?" Austin asked worried, in the same way as Alan did.
"I-I... I got a panic attack." I cried and hide my face behind my hands. Alan sat down next to me and pulled a arm around me.
"I'm sorry, that I ruined your show..." I whispered and cried even more. They both shooked their heads.
"No, you don't." both said. Alex walked in.
"Is everything fine?" he asked and lifted a eyebrow.
"Quinn had a panic attack, could you please stay with her, so we can continue the show?" my brother asked him and he nodded.
"Of course." the merch guy answered and my brother went back to the stage with Alan.
"I want to see the s-song..." I whispered to Alex and looked at him.
"But you should better stay here and try to calm down." he answered and I shooked my head. I jumped off. I was shaky on my legs, so Alex held me.
"No, I want to see it." I repeat. He nodded slowly after a few seconds.
"Okay, but I will hold you." he said and brought me to the stage. We stand at the side and Austin noticed me with him.
"Okay, we fixed it. Where was I..." he started. "Ah yes. Our next song is decided to my sister Quinn. It's Second & Sebring." he continued, winked and smiled at me, while he said that. I tried to smile back. Shortly after that, they started to play Second & Sebring for me. They played it for ME. I couldn't believe that.
