Right Where I Belong

Elise’s POV

“ELISE?” I heard Samantha yell at me and I took the headphone from my ears.
I pushed the hold button on my mp3-player and looked up at her.
“Yes?” I replied with a frown, normally we didn’t talk much to each other, we didn’t have much in common either so I was a little surprised when she would come to me.
She sat down on my bed and looked at my Mp3-player, “What are you listening to? I bet some classic? Mozart or Beethoven?” She took it from my hand and put the headphone in her ear and pressed play.
It wasn’t Mozart or Beethoven, it was some classic rock I liked. I wasn’t updated what the charts are up to right now, I just listened to what my older brother had put on the mp3 player when he gave it to me as a gift now 3 years ago. Since he was into Rock music he had put some of his favorites on there for me.
“What is that?” Samantha said with a slightly confused face.
“If that is still the same song, as I was listening to it would be ‘Pink Floyd – Wish you were here’ next in line would be ‘The Rolling Stones’ or ‘Led Zepplin’.”
“Don’t you have something new on it? Like Lady Gaga or something?” Samantha asked and flipped through the songs.
But like I said, she wouldn’t find something new on that.
“Whooaa.. nothing new… How can you listen to this stuff?”, she pulled the headphones of and threw them next to me.
“Is there something you wanted to talk to me about?” I asked her, because she was acting suspicious.
“Hm.. well yeah.. Have you heard that tomorrow is a concert at the Boys College?” Samantha asked me while looking up to the ceiling.
“No.”
“WHAT? You didn’t?? Gods, Elise… How can you not hear about it?? EVERYBODY is talking about it!” she sounded so shocked and aghast at my answer that I didn’t know what else to reply.
“Anyways, so there is this concert and believe it or not, we are allowed to go there… IF we are going with our roommate, so I wanted to know if you would please go along with me.”

I couldn’t believe that they would let us go over to the boys at a Friday evening and watching a concert. Sure, we were all over age but most of the girl’s here just didn’t act their age.
And it was still a school, where the parents paid a lot and I really mean a lot of money for their children to get a good education we weren’t here just for fun, even if some of them didn’t get that.
“Who is giving the concert?” I asked her a little curious now.
“WHO…? Oh Elise.. have you been living under a rock? Avenged Sevenfold! The boys won at a charity auction and they will give a small concert here… You know I never asked you for something, please will you go with me..?” Samantha asked again.
That was not true, to be honest she asked a lot of me, to crib my homework, to keep my quiet when she is out at night, money and many more things.
“Is it really allowed for us to go there?” I asked again, I didn’t want to do anything I could get in trouble afterwards, for a show I didn’t want to see and for a band I wasn’t interested in, if Sevenfold was a band… Or was it a one man show?
“Yes, absolutely, it is allowed, I promise.”
“Okay, I guess, I can go over there with you, but I won’t stay long.”
“Ohh thank you, Elise.” She hugged me and I wasn’t used to this close contact so I just patted her awkwardly on the back until she let go.
She giggled and ran out of the room, sometimes I couldn’t believe she was even a year older than me…
Finally I had more time with my favorite music I put the headphones back on and pushed the play button and let the music take me into another world.

Jimmy’s POV

“How is it going with you and Gena these last days?” I looked over at Zack, we were looking a baseball game together.
“Aaahh man, not good. We are growing apart… I can feel it every day…” Zack answered while looking at the TV.
“Have you talked with her about it?” I asked again.
“Yeah we talked… or rather screamed at each other… We begin a normal talk and at some point it just escalates… I don’t even know why… Tell me what should I do, Jim?”, he looked at me but I wasn’t the best option in answering relationship questions since I hadn’t had a relationship in quite a while.
“Maybe you should talk with…” I thought about it… Matt – Single, Brian – Single, Me – Single…
“With Johnny about it, he seems to be the only one capable of holding his girl…”
“Christ? You want me to talk about my relationship problems with Johnny fucking Christ?” Zack laughed at that.
“Sorry guys, I’m late I know… but I brought some beer with me.” Matt walked into the living room and he seemed happier than the last time I saw him.
“You got laid?” I asked him and his head shot up straight.
“I.. what?” Matt stuttered.
“Come on you have that look in your eyes that says ‘I just banged a girl’” I smiled and Matt had to laugh.
“No, that’s not the look, the look is.. ‘I met a beautiful girl, I will bang, hopefully soon’” Matt replied.
“Oh wow… She didn’t fall for you right away?” Zack teased.
“No, my name is not Synyster Gates, you know..” Matt laughed and let himself drop on my couch.
“I heard my name?” Brian walked in with a smirk.
“Yeah, you just hear Gates and Girls and you come along, huh?” Matt threw a beer at Brian and he caught it with one hand.
“Yeah, Gates and Girls belongs together, what can I do?”, he shrugged and took a stool from the dining room.
“Where is Christ?” I asked into the round.
“Ah, yeah… He wrote me he won’t be coming today… Lacey will drag him to her parents or some shit I don’t know…” Brian replied and sipped on his beer.
“Oh wow.. so when do we leave tomorrow for the show?” I looked at Matt.
“Hm.. early… I think the bus leaves at 7, we will have a little time to kill when we are there but that was the best way we could arrange it.”
“Ahh.. gods really 7… damn…That means I watch the game and have to fucking pack all my shit up already…”, Zack complained.

But that’s not how that evening ended… by 10 we were all pretty much drunk since our team had lost the game and we needed to compensate our loss with alcohol, which worked pretty good.
I lay next to Matt at the pool, “10 bucks if you jump in the pool now, fully dressed!”
“10 bucks my ass…” Matt slurred.
“You are no fun…!”, I complained.
“You are just drunk..” Matt replied.
“You, too. Tell me about that girl you met… does she have a nice friend or sister?” I asked with a smirk.
“Oh.. we are not that far.. I just met her.. we talked and she gave me her number… I’ll call her after we are back from our concert… but if she has, should I hook you up, or what?” Matt laughed.
“You could at least introduce me before Brian… He gets enough pussy by himself.”
Matt clapped me on the shoulder, “No problem bro, we will find you a nice girl…”
When the guys finally left it was after 1 and we had 6 hours of sleep until we would meet again and make our way towards the college.
I just hoped that the alcohol was out of my system until then…
