Y/N's POV

After discussing what we were going to do until the concert, we decided to leave the restaurant and walk around the mall. We didn't have to be in line until around 6:30 P.M. and it was only 3 P.M. now, so we decided to walk around. As we walked around we didn't hold hands, because we knew we were bound to run into some of Ethan's fans. Not holding hands with Ethan was so hard, because I was so overjoyed with this amazing surprise he'd put together!

As we strolled around, going to the occasional store and looking at all of the seriously overpriced clothes, we were finally stopped by some of Ethan's fans!

"Oh my God! Is that Ethan Dolan?" A tall brunette screamed, running towards with her phone in hand.

All of a sudden, it was as if everyone's eyes diverted to us. It felt like the entire world came crashing into him. In instantly backed up away from the crowd, feeing my heart begin to race, sweat heads building on my forehead, and my knees becoming weak. I had social anxiety and I wasn't too well being surrounded by people, so I knew that nothing good could happen from this.

Ethan being slightly taller than most of younger teenage and preteen girls, peered over at me, a worried look plastered on his face. I didn't think I was showing any emotion on my face, but from his face I could tell that he knew something was wrong with me. I felt myself becoming dizzy, but I stayed strong. I leaned against the wall, my arms crossed to give the appearance that I was keeping my cool.

I could hear the girls screaming at Ethan and to keep my mind busy I kept wondering as to how he kept so calm in situations like this. He smiled at each girl, his smile growing more and more genuine.

I began to realize that I was no longer panicking, but rather I was smiling at the beautiful scenario unfolding in front of me. Ethan looked so happy greeting each one of his fans, getting to hug and take pictures with each one.

As the girls finally peeled off after a few minutes, Ethan said his final goodbyes and then made his way over to me.

"Hey. Are you okay?" He asked, a sense of concern in his voice.

"Yeah. Why?" I asked, trying to sound as if I hadn't known I had a minor internal freak out.

"When everyone ran over you looked like you were scared. You sure you okay?" He asked, putting his hands on my arms and gently rubbing them.

"Yeah. I mean I'm not gonna lie, I did panic when everyone suddenly charged over, but it was very cute how happy you looked meeting them." I said, genuinely smiling at him.

"You're so cute when you're happy." He said smiling down at me, still not able to kiss because of his fans that'll be lurking around.

"Hey, we should get out of here. It's nearly 6, so we should go get your car and slowly head down to the convention center." I said, smiling up at the beautiful boy.

"Sounds good to me." E smiled back down at me.

Ethan then called the Uber and we waited out in front of the mall. We just stood there and he just listened to me completely fangirling over Panic! at the Disco. He just looked at me smiling, a little twinkle in his eyes, and little creases at the corner of his eyes. I knew he had know idea what I was talking about, but knowing that he was listening to what I was saying and not caring about my jumping around and basically screaming about my love for Brendon Urie meant a lot to me.

Emily grew tired of my fangirling a while ago, so getting to do this was great! Instead of just me nerding out on my interests, usually Em and I fangirl over the interests we share, which happens to be quite a lot surprisingly. Even thought we're basically polar opposites in like everything, we actually happen share a lot of similar qualities. A love for disgustingly cringey chick flick movies being one of them.

After a few minutes, the Uber appeared and we hopped into the back seat. I sat right next to him and laid my head gently on his shoulder. He grabbed my hand and laid our hands on my leg. I couldn't wipe a ridiculous smile off my face, but I didn't care. The car was silent for the entire drive to the convention center, but it was a comfortable silence, rather than an awkward one. You could actually feel the happiness hanging about the car, which made the car ride significantly better.

The silent car ride was finally coming to an end and I could see loads of people making their way over to the convention center. Panic! shirts everywhere I could see. People of all ages, some even looking as if they could be less than 10 years old completely overjoyed as to why they were here.

The car finally came to a stop and let us out. Once I stepped out of the car, I took a deep breath, took a hold of Ethan's hand again, and made my way over to the line to enter the convention center.

It was time. I was going to see one of my favorite bands with the boy I was ever so slightly falling in love with. I wasn't hiding the fact I was falling in love with this boy from myself anymore. I accepted it, because being with him feels different than being with anyone else. It feels right, it feels perfectly, it feels like home, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
