"She's waking up!"
I slowly opened my eyes, unsure of where I was or how I had gotten there. My vision was was fuzzy, but gradually getting clearer. I started to see the outlines of people surrounding me, staring down at me like I was some sort of alien. The voices of Kayla and Brooke echoed in my ears, but I couldn't tell where they were coming from.
Suddenly, I realized there was a hand resting on my arm. I turned my head and tried to focus on the face of whoever it was. My heart nearly jumped out of my chest when I recognized who it was.
Joe Jonas was sitting right next to me, with his hand on my arm. His face was blurry, but without a doubt, gorgeous.
"Are you okay?" He asked, with concern in his eyes.
"Yeah.... yeah, I'm fine" I started to get up, but got dizzy again and sat back down.
"Stay here, I'll go get you a bottle of water," he said, and left.
Kayla and Brooke quickly walked over, smiling from ear to ear.
"You're so lucky!" Brooke whispered loudly, since Mr. and Mrs. Jonas were literally standing ten feet away.
"Yeah, he basically rescued you," Kayla added.
"Wait, what exactly happened?" I asked. "The last thing I remember was we were standing over there and I started to get dizzy."
"Well, we were all just talking, and then you started calling our names, so we turned around and you just like, collapsed. You passed out. Then, Brooke and I started to ask for help... and we were yelling it kinda loud, so all of a sudden, Joe comes out of no where."
"He like flew down from the sky or something, no joke. He really is Superman!" Brooke said, laughing.
"So anyway," Kayla continued. "He comes out of no where and pretty much picked you up and brought you over to the chair you're sitting on. And then he just sat there. He was like staring at you too. But he looked genuinely worried."
"He picked me up? Like, he was holding me? I'm gonna faint again!" I said, jokingly.
"Yeah... he had his arms around-" Brooke was cut off. Joe was returning with a bottle of water in his hands. Kevin and Nick were close behind him.
He walked over to us and handed me the bottle.
"Here you go!"
"Thanks," I responded.
I opened it, my hands slightly shaking from being so nervous, and took a sip. I looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back.
"I'm Joe," he said. Like I didn't already know that.
"I'm Lindsey. And this is Kayla and Brooke," I told him, pointing to them when I said their names.
Kevin and Nick suddenly came over.
"Hey guys! Thanks for coming. How are you feeling?" Kevin asked.
"A lot better, thanks."
"I really like your shoes, Kevin," Brooke said, trying to start a conversation with him.
"Thanks! Yours are pretty cool, too!"
Joe cleared his throat, and nudged Nick.
"Hey, Kayla and Brooke, right? Do you guys wanna follow us? We'll show you all the cool backstage stuff!" asked Nick, hesitantly.
"Sure!"
That left Joe and I alone. It was really awkward for the first few seconds.
"Soooo..." I managed to say, after taking another sip of the water. "This is pretty good water."
Joe laughed, a nervous kind of laugh. "Yeah, it's my favorite. I like water."
"Me too," I said.
I took another sip and looked around. Kevin, Nick, Brooke, and Kayla were laughing about something.
"So are you excited for the concert?" Joe asked.
"Of course! I just hope I don't get dizzy again. Knowing my luck, I probably will."
"Don't say that! You're pretty lucky to win these backstage passes and tickets, if you ask me."
I smiled. "I guess so."
Awkward silence.
"Wanna go see what everyone else is doing?" He asked.
"Yeah, let's go!" I stood up and followed him.
"10 MINUTES REMAINING FOR THOSE WITH BACKSTAGE PASSES! 10 MINUTES!" Suddenly a security guard was shouting this throughout the room. Already?, I thought to myself.
In those short ten minutes, Kevin, Joe, and Nick showed us around backstage. Their dressing rooms, guitars and other equipment... they even introduced us to their family and crew. It was a lot of fun and I was extremely happy, but I was sad it was over. I guess I had gotten my hopes up too high, thinking Joe would fall in love with me at first sight or something.
When it was all over, we said our goodbyes. And then Joe hugged me. I felt butterflies in my stomach fluttering around like crazy. I cried a little inside when he let go. I hugged Kevin and Nick too, but I didn't get that same feeling. I could tell Kayla enjoyed her hug with Nick, just as Brooke did with Kevin.
In a few seconds, we were walking out of the backstage area. I could sense that someone was watching me though. I quickly turned around to see Joe looking at me. He was whispering something to Nick and Kevin at the same time, too. I smiled and sighed and turned back around. I probably would never talk to them again, anyway.
"W-wait! Lindsey!" I stopped at looked back at Joe, who was calling my name. "I forgot something..."
