Right Where I Belong

Jimmy’s POV

Most of the songs I played on autopilot, the songs were so etched into my memories that I didn’t have to concentrate at all, my legs, feet and arms are working on their own.
We were already playing the 5th song by now and I led my view wander around the crowd, we were playing for a boy’s college but a lot of girls were here as well…
So either the boys could bring their friends along or the girl’s college from Elise would also be here.
And that meant that Elise could be here somewhere… even if she didn’t want to see me again right away, if our ways would cross again I wouldn’t let her get away that easily.
Again I let my glance wander around but this time Matt stood directly in my way, normally during a solo of Brian or the dueling guitar parts he would walk towards me and we would joke around but this time I wanted to get a good look at the audience.
“Everything okay?” Matt mouthed.
“Yes, get out of my way!” I yelled.
He frowned but moved away and I led my glance wander around again but there were so many people that I couldn’t make out the sleeping beauty I was searching for.

Elise’s POV

The music of the Avenged guys was not exactly what I expected but it was pretty good and I liked it.
I stood far in the back and was watching the two guitarists in awe.
They resonate so good together it was amazing to watch them.
The show was over way too soon and when I turned around I ran directly into… our principal from ‘Wallington College’.
I was a little nervous, even if I knew that we were allowed to be here, but I guess they wouldn’t have expected me at a rock show.
I looked around and as soon as other girls from my college saw our principal Mrs. Hallworth they quickly turned around or literally ran away.

That made me even more nervous, “Mrs. Warren, what are you doing here outside our property?” Mrs. Hallworth asked me and stopped me with her hand on my shoulder.
“I was.. I only wanted to watch…” I started but didn’t know what to say.
Behind the back of Mrs. Hallworth I saw Samantha and her friends, they were pointing my way and laughing… really laughing at me… so this was all a lie, we weren’t supposed to be here and we weren’t allowed to be here either and I really just got caught.
“You know that it is strictly forbidden for you students to leave the property without a special permission, right?” Mrs. Hallworth asked.
“Yes, Madam. I know.”
“Then what are you doing here? I never would have thought a student like you would go to an event like… this” she sounded disgust and that made me angry.
But I kept my mouth shut about that and just tried to sooth her, “I am sorry. I thought this was an approved entertainment program, I didn’t know that it was forbidden. If I knew that I would have never gone here…”
“That was what I thought, we do have a lot of personal here this evening and caught a lot of students from our school who wasn’t allowed to be here. Please Mrs. Warren, there are only a few more weeks here for you on this school, you wouldn’t want to ruin your clean slate near the completion, right?!”
“Absolutely right.” I answered because she was right and I told the truth as well, I wouldn’t have gone here if Samantha hadn’t tricked me.
“And you will start the internship position at your brothers company, is that right as well?”, I guess it didn’t sit well with her that I got the internship in the family business of my brother but we haven’t seen us a lot during the last years and this way we had a chance to make up for it.
“When does it start? This Monday, right?” Mrs. Hallworth asked even if she exactly knew when it would start it was her idea.
“Yes, this Monday.”
“Can I be sure that there won’t be happening any mistakes or let me call it excursions trips from you during that time away from college?”
“I will be there to learn and get prepared for the working life nothing else.” I replied as we were taught.
“Perfect, then I will ignore this little incident with you today and you will go straight back to your room. Can I count on you that something like this won’t happen again?”
“Yes, Mrs. Hallworth, thank you. You can trust me, this won’t happen again.”
“Good.” She finally let go of my shoulder and walked away.

I stood there breathing heavy, how much I hated Samantha for this. Now she and her friends got away and I was the one being watched even more closely. I have always been the one they looked after more than the other because my parents weren’t there to have also a wary eye on me so I think Mrs. Hallsworth took special interest in me.
I turned around and was still in shock that I really was tricked and caught. I never thought that I would get in any kind of trouble at my school and now so near the end I would be watched even more closely.
I walked across the street and headed for the now open gates to get back to my room. I wanted to forget this evening and never thing about it again.

Jimmy’s POV

The show was over and mostly all the people left, only a few fans were still hanging around and wanted some autographs or photo’s with us.
I let my view wander around and far in the back I saw a girl with her back to me, she wore a grey sweater, her hair black, an older woman was standing before her and seemed in a heated discussion or at least as if she would be lecturing her. I knew that this girl was Elise…

I wanted to go to her and talk to her again and maybe now I could coax her into a date with me or at least that we could see each other again.
I excused myself from the fan and walked in the direction I had seen her standing with the woman, but when I arrived she was already gone.

Damn it, how fast could she be?! I walked around the area but I couldn’t find her again.
Maybe she was in trouble because she came here?
Was that the reason the woman was talking to her?
And if she had been to our show, why didn’t she wait and talk to me? She must have seen me at the drums, or?!

“Elise?” I yelled and I didn’t care that everybody would be watching me screaming for her.
But there was no reply, “ELISE?” I tried it again and walked of the property but there was no one to be seen, fuck… I was too late.
