ENJOY!

"Why do you let her control your life?" Brent asks sipping his smoothie then looking at me.

I shrug.

"I don't let her control my life" I say looking at him confused.

He looks at me like I'm stupid.

"Oh really?"

"Really" I say then taking the last two sips of my smoothie.

"If she didn't you would still have your Fall Out Boy posters up, you would be able to meet The Pete Wentz, and you would be able to go to the concert with me. Hell you could like the band if she didn't control you! But wait, Oh no, she took that and crumpled it up and threw it away." Brent finishes his speech.

I let it process for a minute and he's right.

He's way right,

She does control my life.

"You're right" I say.

"Of coarse I'm right!" Brent exclaims loudly earning us a few states and a couple of glares.

"Ok you little cocky bitch, calm down" I laugh at his face when I say that.

I stand up and walk over to the trash can throwing away my cup.

When I walk back over to the table and sit down Brent is staring over at the counter.

I snap in front of his face.

Nothing.

I clap.

Nothing.

"Brent"

Still... nothing.

"Brentwood" I say.

Finally, he answers.

"Don't call me that! Hero, look over there" he says turning head for me.

It takes a minute for me to focus but when I do, my breathing stops and I just stare.

Oh. my. god.

This is not happening!

This IS NOT HAPPENING!!!!!!!

"oh my god Brent" I say gripping onto his shirt and finally breathing.

"I know"

"It's Pete Wentz and Patrick" I whisper to him.

A couple of other people noticed but didn't say anything just stared at them.

"Dare you to talk to him" Brent smirks.

I look at him and quickly shake my head.

"No no no no no no"

"Come on it will be fun. I'll even come with you!" he smiles standing up grabbing my hand and literally dragging me over with him.

My feet are stopped and dragging but he's too strong.

He reaches Pete and taps his shoulder.

I quickly stand up straight and fix myself up.

Pete turns around... oh my god.

He's so perfect.

He smiles at us.

"Hey guys" he says.

I try to talk but can't form the words I can't speak it's too hard.

"Hi Pete. How are you?" Brent says, acting like he knew him forever.

I admired Brent for this.

He could be freaking out about a celebrity then when he meets them he treats them like they're friends.

"I'm great. and you?" he smiles more.

"I'm amazing. So, I have a friend who is like obsessed with you" Brent says.

Pete chuckles and nods keeping the smile on his face.

I smack Brent's arm and can feel my cheeks get hot and red.

The butterflies were erupting in my stomach.

"And her name is Hero" Brent smiles.

"That's a gorgeous name" Pete says.

Brent nods and smiles as he pulls me out from behind him.

I take the moment to notice Patrick is up at the counter ordering.

Pete's smile fades as he looks me up and down.

I instantly feel super self conscious.

'Was I really too fat? too skinny? Not pretty?'

All these thoughts start rushing through my mind.

Pete smiles again looking me in the eyes.

I could honestly just melt right here.

"Hi Hero" he smiles.

I smile softly.

"H-hi P-Pete" I stutter mentally slapping myself.

It's like everyone around us has disappeared and its just him and I.

"This is probably a weird question but, are you Brendons daughter?" he asks.

I nod softly.

"Yeah Brendon is my dad" I say smiling.

He grins and within a second I'm pulled into a hug by him.

I don't hesitate to hug him back.

He smells so good, and his hugs were honestly the greatest I've ever had.

I'm trying my hardest not to just cry right here and now into the chest of my idol.

"You're more gorgeous than a picture could ever show" he whispers in my ear.

Wait did he just...?!

If this is a joke STOP!

IF THIS IS A DREAM PINCH ME!!!!!!

"How have you-"

"Your dad shows you off all the time" he chuckles.

Need I remind you, we are still hugging.

"Oh" I say and giggle.

We stand there for about one more minute and then pull away.

"Um this is gonna be weird and super quick but can I have your number?" he asks.

Wait pause pause....... WHAT?!

HOW?

WHO?

WHEN??!!?!!!!!!!)?!!??

This is not its a dream.

It has to be.

He bites his lip and stuffs his hands in his pocket.

"S-sure" I stutter again.

I get out my phone and hand it to him and he hands his to me.

I put mine into his and he's puts his into mine then we exchange phones again.

"Ok thanks, see you around, Hero" he smiles and walk over to Patrick them leaving with him.

Once they're out that door I burst into tears.

Oh my god.

What just happened?
