"Hey!", someone said behind me, touching my shoulders and jumping. I immediately turned around, annoyed, only to find Brandon almost falling down.

"Yes, I know, I deserved it", he said. "I'm sorry I'm late, I had to work today. What did I miss?"

"Not much, to be honest. This is their second song, I don't remember its name but...", I replied.

"Same", he said. "I'll ask Matt, he's the one who's into them. By the way... Matt!" He looked behind us and made a gesture with his hand. "Oh, by the way. This is Matt. I know you were gonna meet him in a few days but whatever, he's still not completely fine but he couldn't miss this show, right?"

"Brandon knows what's up", Matt said. "By the way, yeah, I know, he already said it, I'm Matt, I usually play guitar in Facing New York, and I shouldn't be here but as long as nobody says anything, it's all okay."

"Why?" I asked.

"I was sick, well, I am sick, so I asked John to replace me a few days ago. I'm not completely fine, the doctor said I should rest for a couple more days but I couldn't miss this so I'm here, but if he asks, I spent the whole day at home, drinking tea and watching infomercials."

"Great!" Matt said, shaking my hand. "Brandon... where are the guys?"

"They're arriving in ten minutes. Rene's car refused to work, so they're taking the train."
