another night, another show ! โ thatโs what leigh kept telling himself, and it was funny because he loved to be on stage. he became a different person on stage, but off stage he hated the anticipation of waiting for the opening acts to perform. it was weird that his band had opening acts, as if the beginnings of their music career hadnโt happened, except heโll never forget the struggle of trying to get places to have them play. the screaming girls saying his name was once foreign to him, now theyโre just white noise heโs learned to look over and give small smiles to or just looks. for most of the night he had been waiting, he was staying inside the dressing room - which for the place it was, was rather nice in comparison to where he used to play. their dressing rooms used to be an unkept menโs bathroom with some water bottles. leigh had time to kill before he really had to look for the rest of the band and get on stage. becoming rather flustered, he grabbed an unopened water bottle, poking his head out of the room โ looking side to side to make sure the coast was clear before actually taking his time to see what was going on backstage. it wasnโt the best of places, but it wasnโt the worst, as long as people liked his music, thatโs all that really mattered. the more he walked, it was hard to block out the screams from the fans at the entranceย to the backstage. in the matter of seconds, he had to mentally prepare himself for those screams to get even louder if they had spotted him. a hand ran through his raven coloured locks as he looked forward, holding his breath when he heard women of every age call his name. leigh was ready to make a break for it backwards from where he came from, not even noticing hella jumping, and he probably wouldnโt have unless his manager caught his arm and told him about a girl telling the bouncer about who she wasย โ hella florence larsen. โ that name was definitely familiar and leighโs inner voice groaned because now he had to walk over to the bouncer, and there she was โฆ the jumping shrimp heโd grown to call his friend. leigh quickly told the bouncer to let her in and extended a hand to get her, except of course there were fans trying to get at him at the same time. in the matter of seconds it became chaotic and all he really saw/felt was himself being pulled bad and hella being pushed towards him.ย โ youโre so lucky i caught you.ย โ he told the petite female as he held her shoulders after being practically thrown at him.ย โ are you okay ?ย โ
nights like this one makes hella feel alive -- slightly out of her comfort zone ( if thereโs such a thing with the little beast ) , yet somehow , kind of blue . she would never let him know that , but leigh has always had a calming effect on her anyway . she blames him for the sadness that washes over her ; as his friend , her first duty is to be happy about his achievements . but then sheโs left all alone with the fact .. that she has nothing . nothing she feels passionate about , like leigh has his music . intoxicated to the bone , the dizziness slows her movements , resembling a baby , trying to learn how to walk .ย โ i sell his hair online girls , follow me on insta ! โ she yells to the sea of young girls , ready to devour him . itโs kind of scary , hella thinks , being on display , all the time . sheโs no stranger to the feeling though , thanks to her parents . as a kid , she had to endure shit like this one , or sometimes even worse , but at the time , it all felt like a game to her . mommy was a spy , and she had to outrun the crazy mob . there were no ties between reality & what was happening , and truth to be told ,ย hells liked it better then . snapping out of her trans mode comes easily , โ my hero ! โ she chirps , holding his ( next to hers ) gigantic hand with her both , squeezing faintly .ย โ i practised my cheering , you want to listen ? โ without waiting for a response , she takes a step back , getting closer to the wall . hands thrown to the air , light brunette locks dance as she rocks her head , trying to create a genuine concert experience . โ L E I G H , leigh ! thatโs my friend ! I SELL HIS HAIR ONLINE ! woohoo ! โ in seconds , sheโs back to her usual self ( the one .. where she acts slightly normal ) , beaming .ย โ you like it ? โย
