Merch Girl// An Of Mice & Men Fanfiction

Chapter 21

"Dude, I can't believe you do this for a living!" Ryan squealed looking around as her, mark and Ada walked around as she was a little tipsy from Mark giving her a couple beers.

"I hate you. She's only nineteen and you got her buzzed." Ada scolded Mark as she watched Ryan run into a crowd. The two followed after her, seeing this was- of course- Of Mice & Men playing. The music was playing as they stood together rocking out.

"Woah, what's that!" Ryan asked, pointing to a huge circle pit forming. Mark laughed, wrapping his arm around her shoulder.

"That my friend, is a mosh pit." People started to mosh in the middle and Ryan's eyes widened.

"That kid just got punched!" She squealed and Mark laughed. "I wanna try!" Ryan went to head that way but Mark pulled her back.

"Not a good idea, rookie." Mark told Ryan.

Ada agreed, "Maybe you should just watch." Ryan rolled her eyes.

"I am watching. Now, tell me what to do." Ryan told the two and Ada gave Mark a wearily glance.

"Just punch your invisible friend. Try not to get hurt." Mark told her before pushing her towards it. She weaved her way through the people and Ada sighed. "Man, she is a wild card."

"That's how I was when I was her age. I was ready to fight the world." Ada told him as they watched her mosh. Next thing you know she gets punched on accident. Ada cringed with Mark before running in to get her, Mark picked her up bridal style and carried her out of the crowd with Ada following close behind them.

"Mark! Put me down, I am fine!" Ryan insists and Mark rolls his eyes. "Mark, if you don't put me down I will fight you."

Mark fake screams, "Oh! I'm so scared!" Ada showed the security dude their pass to get behind the stage where their was stage crew, backstage people, and other random personnel standing around. Ada ran up to the cooler and grabbed a bag of ice. She wondered if this happened alot if they literally kept ice packs in the coolers.

"Someone get punched?" Ada looked up to see a guy with black shaggy hair, standing with a beer in his hand.

"My sister, actually." Ada bent back up with the ice pack in hand, getting a better look at the guy. He was shorter, but still taller then Ada. He looked a little familiar though.

"Ouch." He commented before holding out his hand, "David Schmitt."

Ada placed her hand in his, "Ada Drew."

He smiled and nodded, "Are you on the tour?"

Ada nodded, "Merchandise seller for Of Mice & Men." David laughed and glanced at the stage. "What about you?"

"Sing for Breathe Carolina." Ada's eyes widened.

"That's where I know you from! I've seen you guys play before! It's like a thirty minute party!" Ada confessed and he smiled.

"I'm glad you liked it."

Ada glanced back at Mark and Ryan who were still waiting, "Uh, I better get back to my sister. Nice meeting you."

He nodded before Ada walked up to the pair, "Took you long enough. Stop flirting with cute guys." Ryan told Ada and Ada chuckled.

"I thought that you and Austin are together?" Mark asked, confusion written on his face and Ada scowled. Ada has been trying to not to think of him all day but once again, he is brought up.

"We are. Kind of. I don't even know what we are. We had a huge fight." They nodded looking past me.

"Well, he's coming over here." Ada spun around at Mark's comment to see Austin walking up to her. He smiled down at her and she kept a poker face.
