~Monday 7 A.M.~
It's slightly chilly out so I'm wearing black skinny jeans, with black converse, a white shirt, and an army green jacket over it. Hails and I both hop into the car and she starts blasting tøp. Lovely starts playing and we both sing along as we start our hour long ride.

We check into our hotel at around 8:30. The record store doesn't open until 9 a.m. so I've got time. I'll just start doing my makeup since I didn't do it this morning. I need to look good if I'm going to get a job here. I put winged eyeliner on and light lip gloss. Don't want too much on my face. It's 9:15 now and the store is 10 minutes away. I should start walking now since Hailey took the car to her pizza places. I put my earphones in and walk out the door down to the lobby. I really hope this works out.

I finally make it to the record store and start looking for people that work here. I walk towards this semi-tall guy with bright pink hair. Snazzy.
"Uh hi excuse me?" I say trying to get his attention. He turns around an- wow he looks familiar. Wait. That's Josh dun. Holy fuck that's Josh Dun oh my god. He's hotter in person woah. I bring my attention back to him as I notice he's waving his hand in front of my face.
"Oh um sorry. You just look strangely familiar." I say followed along with nervous laughter.
"I get that a lot. So what can I do for you?" He asks. Damn he's attractive. I don't want to seem too creepy so I'm going to stop staring and pretend I have no idea who he is.
"I was just wondering if you have any jobs available here?" I ask. He probably doesn't work here.
"Oh I don't work here but I know the owners very well. I can talk to them if you would like." He offers.

"That'd be great thank you!"

"Anything for a cute girl like you."
Did... Did he just. Did Josh Dun just call me cute. What.
Of course me being me I start blushing and smiling like a freak. He's smiling back. What is happening???
"So are you from around here?" He asks.

"No I'm actually from Dayton, but my best friend and I are looking for jobs and an apartment."

"Well while you're here you should let me show you around sometime."

"That sounds nice. Thank you. What's your name?" I already know but I might as well go with it.

"I'm Joshua. Joshua Dun. And you are?"

"I'm Audrey Laine. Nice to meet you." I say as we shake hands. He has soft hands. Noice.

"Do you wanna go have lunch with me? There's a really good diner best here." Josh offers.

"I would love that." I say with a big grin.

"So, what do you do for a living back in Dayton?" He asks as we walk out the door towards the diner.

"I'm a waitress at Outback. What do you do?" I already know the answer oops.

"I'm a musician." He tells me.

"Oh are you in a band?" I ask.

"Yeah. We have a little break from touring right now so we're back home." He tells me.

"So what are you going to be doing while you're on break?" I ask him trying to keep the conversation going.

We walk into the diner as Josh starts to say, "Probably just hanging out with my friend and spending time with my family."

"That sounds nice." I respond as a familiar song starts to play. I realize that the song is Tear In My Heart as Josh starts grinning. We both start singing along to the words while giggling through most of the song.
We only ordered milkshakes and those came right as the song finished. Josh asks me "You like Twenty One Pilots?" And then started sucking down his drink.

"Yeah I love their music. That drummer is extremely talented." I answer and try to pretend to be clueless to who the band members are.
"Than- I mean... Yeah they are pretty good." He responds while blushing. He's so adorable awh.

"We should probably start heading back soon. I don't want Hailey to worry about me." I tell him. I don't want to cut this short but I can feel my phone vibrating almost very minute.

"Oh ok. Can we exchange numbers? I want to see you again before you go back to Dayton. And I also want to get back to you about the job. Obviously...." Josh says as I giggle.

"Bye Josh!!" I call out to him as we part from each other after we pay.

"Bye Audrey!" Josh calls back.

I have so much to tell Hailey....
