You're Beautiful To Me.
Never Mind About The Shape I'm In
Selena's P.O.V.
"Mikey! Hurryyyyyyy!" I pulled on his hand. "I don't wanna be late." I stomped my feet on the ground like a kid.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm going." He said looking down at his phone. I hopped into the passenger seat and he went around to the front.
"Where is this place anyways?" He asked, pulling out of the driveway.
"It's at Ringo's." I said.
"Ringo's? Really? How'd they score that?"
"Jamie's friend knows a guy. I didn't ask much about it." I said. He turned on the radio and sat back in his seat. We eventually pulled into Ringo's and the parking lot was near full. Mikey looked over his sunglasses and stared out the windshield.
"Oh there's Jamie. Were on time." I said.
"I told you we wouldn't be late." He said. We pulled into a parking spot and we both got out. Jamie was talking with a few friends and laughing. I was nervous, so I grabbed Mikey's hand and let out a shaky breath.
"Hey, look who made it!" Jamie said, pulling me into a hug. I hugged him back and he led us into the bar. It didn't actually turn into a bar until midnight, so we teens were allowed to be in. I looked up at the stage and there was a group of people and equipment.
"Let me introduce you to everyone." He walked up on the stage and we followed.
"This is Pete." A taller guy holding a bass looked up and smiled. We smiled back and I waved. "This is Andy" He waved with a drum stick in his had then turned back to what he was doing.
"Joe." The guy holding a guitar didn't look up at all. He continued to play small riffs on his instrument and mess with the earpiece in his ear.
"And finally, this is Patrick." A guy wearing a fedora messed with a mic stand and then said hi to us.
"So, what's this band called?" Mikey asked.
"Fall Out Boy." Patrick beamed.
"That's a pretty cool name. How long have you guys been playing?"
"Only about a year. We've gotten pretty far in a short period of time, though." He smiled back.
"Yeah, I see that. Well I can't wait to see you guys play." Patrick gave us another smile, then Jamie led us to a table.
"Feel free to socialize, get some food, and maybe drink a little." He smiled and left us.
"This is pretty cool, right?" I said, excitedly.
"Yeah it is. This is a lot cooler than I expected actually." He smiled and picked up a menu.

Eventually, the band started playing, and they were pretty good.
"I'm a leading man. And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate. I'm a leading man. And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate. Yeah... Whoa-ohh. For all the boys who the dance floor didn't love, and all the girls whos lips couldn't move fast enough, sing! Until your lungs give out!
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race. This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race."
They continued with a few other songs and the night flew by us. I decided to go thank Jamie for letting us come.
"Hey." I sat next to him at the bar.
"Hey."He smiled back. "Get her a drink, please?" He asked the bar tender.
"She doesn't look 21." The bar tender raised an eyebrow. Jamie slipped him some money and the bar tender winked at him. He came back a bit later with a beer and handed it to me.
"Thanks." I said. "So, I just wanted to come over here to thank you for getting us in for free. It's a lot of fun." He smiled and I walked back to my table with mikey. About ten minuets later, I felt like I was swaying. I dismissed the thought. It was probably nothing.
"God, why are there so many flies here?" I swatted around my head to get rid of the swarm around me. Mikey looked at me with confused eyes.
"I think it's time to take you home." Mikey said, standing up.
"What? No!" I said. "The band's still playing!" He furrowed his eyebrows at me.
"Uh. The band stopped playing a half an hour ago." Mikey walked over to me and helped me stand up. "C'mon. Let's get you home." He said walking me out the door. I continued to swat at the flies that surrounded my head.

Mikey's P.O.V.
Selena walked around looking drunk. Her body swayed from side to side but I finally got her to sit down.
"God, why are.... There so m-many flies h-here?" She slurred. She began to move her hand around her face and in the air.
"I think it's time to take you home." I said, standing up.
"What? No! The band is still playing!" She said, almost falling out of her seat.
"Uh. The band stopped playing a half an hour ago." I said walking around the table to grab her. "C'mon. Let's get you home." I helped her up and out the door. She kept moving her hand around her face. I helped her into the car and pulled out of the half-full parking lot. I drove home in silence, aside from her quite grumbling.
