Spam messages, Music, and a Concert - JJ

(On the plane)

I met him online, I know it's dangerous, old people constantly warn us 'whipersnapers' "don't meet up with strangers that you met on the internet" swinging their canes in your face, but how was I supposed to know he would happen to be at the same concert I was... in the state where he resigns.
I swear I didn't plan it!

I just held onto the little sliver of hope that he would be here. "He" is Mason, Whom I met through Instagram about two years ago. He's an amazing guy; kind, compassionate, open minded, has a great taste of music, and he's not too bad looking either. How we met was actually quite adorable. We were put in one of those 'not so PG' spam Instagram DM's for a females not so legal service. We both responded with the same text before leaving the chat. "Sorry but you're attempting to bat for the wrong team, honey." I had spent the next couple of weeks trying to find his Instagram. Fortunately enough I did!

I took a chance and DMed him, hoping of sparking a casual conversation. Eventually we started taking every day, I learned loads about him; his likes and dislikes and his taste of music. We learned that we had similar taste in music and even introduced each other to other bands! He even introduced me to one of my new favorite bands, PUP. By listening to their songs they sound like the basic mushy love songs, (besides the fact that they're a rock band) but if you look at the lyrics and analyze them most of the songs have a much darker meaning. We bonded over other things of course; shows and movies, books, and our dark, morbid sense of humor. I had always felt an attraction to Mason, before even officially knowing one another we had admitted to being gay, so I knew that wasn't something to worry about. However I was still nervous about the idea of telling him I liked him... I mean anyone would freak out if their 24 year-old male-internet-friend just messaged you and said "hey, I know we've never met in person but you seem really amazing- well I know you're amazing and I'd like to get to know you better cause I like you." It just seems weird.

So I decided to try to take fate into my own hands, fly from Florida to New York and hope, pray even that he would be at that PUP concert.

And that brings us to the present, I'm standing in New York in the venue that the concert is about to start in. Standing face to face with Mason... "Holy shit dude, is that you?" His voice wasn't what I expected... we had talked on the phone and face timed a few times but in person, god he was so much hotter than I could ever had guessed. He had longer dark brown hair and sparkling green-blue eyes. "Yeah, I guess- wow, I didn't expect for you to be here... How are- how are you doing?" I took a chance 'this is it' I though. I ran up and hugged him. He seemed taken aback at first but embraced me back soon after. "I'm great, better now, I'll tell you what after the concert how about we get a drink?" He asked me while releasing the hug and taking my right hand. I looked down at our hands flustered but nodded my head, "Yeah that sounds great. I guess I'll see you after the show?" I turned to go find my seat and heard him call out. "I wouldn't miss it for the world!"

I decided to go grab a drink from the bar before going to find my seat, '23A' yes I know, I splurged and got front row seats but how could I not! I only found out about the band 6 months ago and was already desperately in love with them. Suddenly I heard a voice to my right. "No way, Fate is really on our side today huh, seat 22A, hello neighbor." I looked over to see Mason sitting down, but I wasn't able to get out a word, lights started flashing and the stage lit up with fireworks. The concert had started.

Mason and I spent the whole night rocking out, dancing, banging our heads, and over all just having an amazing time. When it was all done Mason just grabbed my hand and lead me out of the venue, to what I was assuming was a nearby bar.

He took me into an alleyway just to the right of the bar. "You know, Robin You're too kind for your own good, coming to New York trying to act surprised when you saw me. I've been around the block before, I'm not as great as I am seem, I saw you buy your tickets. I saw you board the plane, I've seen you everyday over the past two years, from the shadows of course." I looked at him confused his right hand still holding the upper section of my left arm. "Mason, what the fuck are you talking about?" I was so confused, and that's when I saw the knife. "Perhaps next time, you should be careful who you befriend on the internet." And that's when it all ended, the knife in my chest, Mason's lips on mine, blood dripping to the floor. And then he was gone. I sunk to the ground and tried to call for help but no sound left my mouth, I lied there dead.

I shot up from my seat on the plane sweating... looking around for any signs of Mason but there wasn't any. I went to the concert and everything went as it did in my dream. We saw each other as soon as I walked in, than we ended up seated next to one another. When we left the venue this time we ended up in the alley way again, and we kissed just as I saw. No knife, no blood just pure bliss. When we pulled apart Mason spoke, "I'm so happy we finally got to meet in person and I get to tell you that, I like you." I was shocked not just from his words, I mean he just kissed me for crying out loud! "I- I like you too, but how about we go get that drink?" Mason shook his head in agreement and then we were off. Now married for the last 5 years with out beautiful adopted baby girl.
Who would have thought that all of my happiness would start with spam messages, music, and a concert.

JJ- THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING this isn't actually my first story so have a personal account where I attempted to write and then took down a NaLu fan fiction 😂. This is E's and I think J's first time writing on Wattpad and she's really nervous about it so my updates will probably more frequent than hers! I happy to take suggestions for you guys of types of stories you want and so on.
I actually got this idea because my boyfriend introduced me to the band PUP on April 2nd (I know cause it was 3 days before they released the "Morbid Stuff" album) and I'm actually in the car on the way to one of their concerts right now! But yeah, thank you so much for reading and we look forward to spicing up your lives with more stories in the near future.
