What a pity. What a waste. All the money saved up to see Led Zeppelin and one of them couldnât even go. Elliot had contracted the flu a few days prior to the show and though he really did want to see the band, he was too weak to bother showing up and so Ben was on his own. Their own band had been in the process of finally making their first album but nothing else had really happened in their own lives. Zeppelin was to be one of the bands that could inspire them, not to mention they could finally afford seats other than in the nosebleed section. Alright, it was partly for the inspiration but the other part was for Ben. He was turning thirty soon and it was a way of celebrating. Just perfect. Thirty years old, and still trying to be a rock star. He kept telling himself that if the first album would flop, heâd give up and finally get a real job.Â
The majority of these thoughts ran through his head as he waited outside in the queue until the doors opened to the arena, tapping his foot with impatience until the line had finally began to move, eventually walking inside after getting his ticket checked. He scanned his surroundings, witnessing all the other people filtering in and checking around at merchandise only to realise that no one else had come to this event alone. The thought made it hard to swallow, his throat tightened but after a brief close of his eyes, he exhaled slowly and was able to move forward, running his fingers through his mousy brown hair to recollect himself on his way down the steps toward one of the first few rows until he found his seat. When he looked back up, he could see a woman, alone like him though she clearly didnât seem as bothered by this fact. Perhaps...perhaps he could have someone to talk to. It would make the show more tolerable. Come on, whatâs the worst that could happen? After a few short glances her way, he put on a grin and turned his body to face her way, fidgeting with his fingers in his lap before doing his best to make small talk. âHey, uh...your first time seeing one of their shows too?â
