The Reason I Left You

Chapter 1

'It's scorching hot today of all days' Marie said after letting out a huge sigh, she knew better than letting a hot temperature ruin her day, cause it was D DAY. Several hours to her shift and Marie was already beat, the restaurant had more guests than usual and everywhere was packed which also means a lot of shouting and scolding from Mrs Davis, the restaurant owner, but Marie couldn't care less cause nothing was going to spoil her day. A day she has waited for all summer, it was the concert day for the world famous boy band RB and Marie had used her entire summer savings to get a ticket and she finally going to see the perform, especially Evans, the group's lead vocalist. Marie can remember it like it was yesterday when she became a die hard fan of RB, it was two years ago when Marie was at her final year of university, she lost her mom who was the last family she had in a car accident, Marie never thought she could recover from that loss, she started slacking off and didn't see the need to continue going to school or even going anywhere for that matter, all she did was stayed locked up in her room and only go out when she was out of supplies or food, she continued that for more than three months. On a day when she had to go out to get some food, she looked up to a big screen across the street and there he was, the most handsome man Marie has ever seen, a 6ft 3 tall athletic built man, tanned skin with a sharp facial feature, a moderately shaped high-bridged nose, dark hair, and brown eyes. In Marie's head, she figured if the word handsome had a face then it was definitely Evans Grey. He was being interviewed along with four other equally good looking guys, they had just released their debut album and starting going public, a question was thrown to Evans by the host, 'so Evans, this question is specifically for you, why do you think music is so important to today's generation?', before answering, Evans gave a brief smile 'i.... believe music is Hope, you know most people think music is just about dance, having fun and feeling good, but music does a lot more than that, there was a point in my life were i didn't believe in anything not even on living, i was so traped in the past that i was running from life itself but music was the only gateway that freed me from all those anxiety, pressure, and depression and there are people in the world today who faces all these and music has the ability to give a sense of hope, that why my dream is to create music that would give hope to those who feel like giving up'. Marie found herself lost in the words he spoke, 'he's right' she let out and that was then Marie has a sense of hope and life again, she was determined to live a good life not only for herself but in honor of her mother. The next day, Marie heard RB was having a fan signing at a convention center not too far from her residence, she immediately rushed out as she could not miss an opportunity of seeing Evans before he went on their world tour. When she arrived she saw the place was packed, but didn't mind at all, as long as she could get a chance to meet with Evans, the line was indeed long and took about an hour before she finally had the chance she had waited for, she was so nervous and excited at the same time, 'next please!!, hello miss, you're next' one of the staff yelled in order to bring Marie out of her fantasy thoughts . She walked in front and there he was, he had a bright smile and was beaming in perfection, as soon as he laid his eyes on her, she could see that his eyes widened, 'hey cutie, don't know if im allowed to say this but you're really beautiful, what's your name?', Marie was able to get her words straight as all she could hear was that Evans called her beautiful, she finally got some words out of her lips, 'Ah... Tha..thank you, my um.. name is Marie, Marie Smith, I also think you're really handsome, I'm .....I wanted to ask you something if that's alright?', 'yeah sure, you can ask me anything you want cutie ' he answered with a smirk, 'i.... watched your interview yesterday, so....um...did you mean what you said about giving hope through your music?' she said but suddenly feeling she shouldn't have asked that. Evans's smile increased , he stretches out his hand signalling her to do the same, Marie hesitated but have in anyway, he held her hand and said 'you know, other girls who came would either ask for and autograph, picture or even a kiss, but you're the first to ask me something like this, I like that, my answer's this, if not the world but only you that gets hope from my music, then i don't mind singing for the rest of my life, ok cutie?'. Marie was in total shock and didn't know how to respond but one thing was sure, Evans was able to touch her heart with that one sentence but as she wanted to finally say something her time was up and had to let go of his hand, as the staff escorting her out, she turn back to only to see him staring at her with passionate eyes. Marie never recovered from that experience, she kept looking at her hand trying to reminisce the feeling of his hands on hers. From that day forward, Marie became a huge fangirl of Evans and of RB, she listened and watched every song, album, interview and award shows that RB appeared on and fill her room with posters and stickers of Evans. She was indeed the ultimate fan girl of RB.

Chapter 2

Back to reality ~ Marie's shift was finally over, she checked her watch and was relieved she still had enough time to get home and freshen up, she was able to get a bus on time and arrived home where she saw her best friend Becky who was waiting for Marie at her front door. 'look who finally arrived, I've been calling you since forever, at this point I'm sure i gave you a hundred calls' Becky said with her hands placed across her chest, 'im so sorry, i was so in a rush i didn't hear my phone ring, but that aside I'm so so so excited I get to see Evans again, ever since their debut, they've always been abroad' Marie replied as she was taking off her clothes for a bath. An hour later, both girls were ready and set, Marie wore a sleeveless short floral dress with a side splint, styled her hair dark in a cute ponytail and had white Snickers for shoes cause she didn't feel the need to wear heels since she had a tall figure. 'you know, I'm kinda hungry, why don't we go grab something to eat since we have about an hour before the concert starts ' Becky suggested while holding rubbing her tummy, the idea sat well with Marie, so both girls head over to a nearby eatery. They spent about 30 mins before leaving for the concert. At their arrival, it was an army of fans surrounding the entire venue not to talk of the longest line they've ever seen, 'well this what you get for following a group of perfectly handsome men with voices of an angel' Becky said jokingly. After a long hour of waiting, it was finally their turn, 'can I see your tickets please Ladies ' the security asked stretching his hand, 'of course Mr handsome security sir' Becky exclaimed as she winked at the big tall security guard, Marie gave Becky a 'can you please stop' look as she proceeded to give out her ticket, she discovered it wasn't in her purse, a great chill went down her stomach and anxiety creeped in, 'Becky, is...um perhaps my ticket with you, I can't seen to find mine, its not in my purse' Marie said trying not to lose her composure, 'what do you mean, you didn't even want me to touch your ticket, check harder, it must be somewhere in your purse', the security guard urged them to hurry as others were waiting at the line. Marie instantly remembered, her ticket may have fallen from her purse when she was paying for the bill back at the eatery, 'Becky I think i remember where my ticket could be, I have to go back and get it, you go ahead without me, I'll be right back at you', then Marie ran as fast as a sprinter. She finally got to the restaurant but found it was already closed for the day, it was obviously late (about 9pm), Marie's heart dropped as tears started rolling down her eyes, after such a long time she finally gets to see Evans only to lose this opportunity. She hurried back to the concert center and tried to reason with the security guard, she even showed him a picture she took earlier in the day holding her ticket but that wasn't enough for her to be allowed in and the concert was about to start, Marie couldn't stop crying, she went and sat down at a bench across the street, her phone rang and its was Becky calling,' Marie, the concerts about to start, were you able to find your ticket ', 'No Becky, I couldn't find it, but its alright take some good pictures for me ok' Marie said with more tears gushing down her eyes. Marie kept crying until she heard a voice from someone standing in front of her , 'can I please sit down as well', she looked up to see a tall figure dressed in all black with a leather jacket, he was tall and wore a face mask and cap. Marie thought he looked suspicious but still nodded that he could sit, she looked at him as he sat down and scotched toward the end of the bench to give a safe distance between them. Marie realized she still had tears in her eyes and was trying to wipe them away when the stranger hand out a handkerchief, 'no thank you, I'm ok' Marie refused, 'its alright, its not good for a pretty girl to cry on the street, so take it I insist, im not pulling any kind trick, honestly ' the stranger insisted. Marie took the handkerchief from him and clean her face up, she could smell the nice perfume from the handkerchief, 'thank you, sorry I ruined your handkerchief ', 'its ok, you can keep it, so would you mind telling me why a beautiful girl like you is crying out here on the street, if that's fine with you of course ' the stranger said as he turned to her direction, Marie didn't understand why a total stranger would be interested in her situation, Marie was indeed reluctant at first but later thought what could possibly go wrong since they won't be seeing each other after today. Marie started, 'well, you see that concert center over across the street?, with the lights and everything, my favorite music band will be performing there tonight, I had to wait two years to finally see them perform, actually not all of them, there's one who I want to see the most, his songs are like a booster to me and i wanted a chance to see him sing live cause I've only ever seen him perform on screen, I thought i could finally see him today but i lost my ticket, sad right?, you know i even imagined he'd call me on stage, so stupid ', Marie ended with a low chuckle while pushing her hair back. The stranger kept quiet for awhile before proceeding to speak, 'guess we're all having a bad day, actually there's someone who I want to meet again too cause i never really had a chance to say a proper goodbye before I left them, so I kinda understand you, im sorry about your ticket by the way', 'its ok it was my fault for being careless with it, I just wanted to also see how he's been doing so far' Marie replied with a sad expression. The stranger saw this and stood up in front of her and said 'ok what if I told you I was a fairy and I could grant you a wish, then, what would you wish for?, Marie laughed 'a fairy really, haha, are you making fun of me', 'of course not, c'mon just try and see, one wish', Marie thought for a while before giving her response, 'i wish i still had a chance to attend the concert even though i know that's not possible anymore ', 'wish granted then haha, don't worry, its gonna work out ok, i have to get going now, im already late for something, see you around then', Marie could only watch in marvel as he walked untill his shadow disappeared and she thought 'what did he mean by see you around ', they were obviously strangers. Marie checked her phone and saw that it was already very late, she picked up her purse and was about to leave when she was stoped by the same security guard that was at the concert. 'Hey, your the lady who lost her ticket right, if you can show me that picture with your ticket then I cam allow you in, you must be very lucky cause someone put in a good word for you' the security said, Marie couldn't believe her ears, she slap her cheeks trying to see if she was dreaming but the pain made her understood it was all real. Without a second thought, Marie brought out her phone and showed the security guard the picture and he lead her back to the concert center.

Chapter 3

The security guard escorted Marie to the concert center but the entrance was already too with people for anyone else to enter, so he directed her through the back stage passage and lead to the front roll area of the concert, Marie wanted to open her mouth to explain that her ticket wasn't a front roll one but the words didn't want to come out . Soon the lights were dimed and Marie knew it was show time , the loud sound of a guitar echoed the entire stadium and the man behind that was none other than Mason Walker, blonde, average height, and a great sense of fashion than the other members. He's the second most popular member of the group, a heartthrob, a genius at playing the guitar, and his father is also a well known music producer but there is one flur about Mason Walker, he's a big playboy. A beat of drums came next, and the screams of thousands of ladies intensified, it was of course Jack Manchester aka the drum god, he's said to come from a really wealthy family, intelligent, modest, and does alot of charity work, he's also a great cook. While Mason's guitar and Jack's drums were still in tune, there come Matthew West with his excellent piano skills, Matthew is a black American but was raised in England, hence he has sought of a British accent , his mother owns a hospital back at England, he has a bachelor's degree in law but pursued music as his life's long dream and he's so good with pets. Finally it was the moment Marie has been waiting for, her heart was at the verge of exploding with excitement, 'are you ready Los Angeles?', at that one sentence, the screams from the fans were nerve wracking as everyone knew whose voice it was, like a prince from an enchanted fairytale, he walked to the center stage wearing an all white outfit with a blue jacket, it was Evans Grey, tall athletic body, brown eyes, dark hair and a sharp side profile, also came from a affluent family, he majored in political studies at his father's behest but did a secondary in music, his also the son of Edward Grey, Los Angeles's most prominent politicians. The band started with a song from their debut album, then heated things up with their upbeat music, the crowd went wild and Marie was having the time of her life, she was so high in the excitement she felt her problems were never going to catch up to her again. The concert was almost over and RB was about to perform their final song of the night, it was their latest single, a love song titled 'with you', written by Evans. 'for this next song, right about now, I gonna need a beautiful girl from the crowd to share the stage with me' Evans was surprised at the number of hands that were up, all representing the 'pick me' sign. Marie didn't put her hand up, she felt she wouldn't stand a chance with the many hands that were up, she thought she should be grateful that at least she was able to see Evans up close but just as she was lost in thought, a fair masculine hand stretch out in front of her, her eyes widen as she looked up, it was Evans's hand reaching out for her, 'is it a dream maybe?, it can't be, right, why would Evans choose me of all the beautiful girls here, it has to be a dream' these were all the thoughts in Marie's mind. She blinked about four times before concluding it was actually reality, she took a huge sigh and placed her hand in Evan's hand, he pulled her up the stage and the screams was louder than ever. Evans started singing while holding her hand, dancing and turning her around, Marie was filled with mixed emotions but she could tell that Evan's eyes were fixed on her, he held her like she was some precious egg or treasure , she could also feel the envy from the crowd of fan that would have possibly killed to be in her shoes but that wouldn't stop her, this was a dream come true for Marie, being so close to Evans, having his hands around her waist and being the center of his gaze. The song ended with the whole stadium applauding and screaming, although it was for a short moment, Marie had the time of her life, she was able to head back to the fan section when Evans stopped her saying 'you don't have to go back from there, the concert is over anyways, so you can use the back stage, I can show you the exist from there, it would be much easier', 's..sure, i would appreciate that's, Marie followed RB back stage, 'oh right, thank you miss for being apart of our grand finishing, you were great and you're also my style, if you don't mind, are you busy say this Saturday ' Mason said as he turn to her, 'typical Mason' Marie thought, Evans pulled Mason back by the shirt, giving a distance between him and Marie, 'don't even think about it Mason, can't you act descent for once man's, Mason laughed putting his hand around Evans shoulders and whispered, 'oh c'mon, you only danced with her on stage and you're already protective, I think you're the one who should act decent huh, Mr Evans Grey. Marie couldn't help but smile at the scene, she could tell that the members of RB was not just a band but were each others best friends. after awhile, Evans had brought Marie to the exist of the Center, 'here you are,.... I um wanted to also say thank you, for coming and supporting us today, as Mason said, you were great ', Marie's became flushed at his comment but was determined to keep it cool, 'its no problem, I've always been a fan of yours.....I mean of your band, so i should be the one saying thank you for calling me on stage' Marie responded. 'cool, so can I get your name ?' Evans asked, Marie Was delighted he asked for her name, 'my name ...sure, my name is Mar..' 'Marieeeeeeeeee' a loud voice calling her name interrupted her, it was Becky's voice, she was running towards them, waving her hands. 'umm that's my friend, I came with her, I'm really sorry about her, she has a loud voice haha' Marie said embarrassly, 'its ok, at least i got your name, Marie, that's a lovely name befitting of you, well then, I'll see you around Marie, get home safe and goodnight ' Evans left just in time as Becky reached where they were. 'holy shit Marie, was that Evans Grey you were talking to, I thought I was dreaming when I saw you on stage, so it was real damn, and how were you able to get in, i thought you said you couldn't find your ticket ' Becky was still panting from when she ran, Marie smiled and covered her face but then the realization came to her, 'how did she actually get into the concert, and the security guard said something about someone putting a good word for her, but who?, it can't be the stranger she met at the bench right? Was he really a fairy, No, its not possible, they don't exist, do they?', Marie Was trying to come up with an explanation when Becky tapped her, 'earth to Marie, i asked you a question, what are you thinking huh?', 'its nothing lets just say i got lucky, now c'mon lets head home now' Marie said trying to divert the topic cause even she herself didn't have an answer.
