This is an alternate universe (AU) for the Fallen series by Lauren Kate. It revolves around a past life of Lucinda's and how she met Daniel. The characters do not belong to me, only the storyline. Please give feedback and let me know what you think.

Lucy lived in a little town with little to do. Often times, she would find cities to visit, places to go, and other activities to get out of her small home town. Tonight just happened to be a night that she was going to a concert in Atlanta, Georgia to see her favorite band, Fallen. How Lucy loved the band; they were all so different, and tonight she would finally see them live, after a long car drive there.

She dug through her closet picking out her red and black plaid dress which angel wing cut outs on the back of it, that she bought specifically for this moment. She spent hours straightening her long black hair until it reached down to her lower back. She put on dark eyeliner making her hazel eyes pop. Everything was fitting right into place.

She had been planning for this moment months in advance. Her hotel room was already booked, she saved up tons of money for gas, she even had front row tickets. Lucy couldn't wait to make eye contact and high five the lead guitarist. It was top on her bucket list. Ever since she heard the band play and saw videos of them, she couldn't get that blonde hair or those violet eyes out of her head. Daniel, he was the hottest in the band.

Cameron was a close second on the hot scale though. Her best friends all adored the bass player's emerald green eyes and dark black hair. Even Lucy would admit he was attractive and would date him had she ever had a chance, but she fangirled over Daniel the most.

Roland was the hunky back-up guitarist, but definitely not Lucy's type. He seemed like the party kind of guy after reading an interview of his. He didn't seem to be as out there as Cameron and Daniel though; he was more of a background character.

The singer was a very gorgeous girl, Gabbe. She had gorgeous blonde waves and a cute demeanor to her. Every guy seemed to be in love with her after the smallest glance. Gabbe was the nicest of the band, always helping out others and doing volunteer work according to every article ever.

Molly was another one of the band members, she actually played the piano for the most part, but could be found playing backup bass or any other odd and end instrument. It was quite impressive but didn't make the girl seem any less intimidating.

Lastly, there was Arriane, the spunky drummer girl. She seemed like a punk rocker with the ways she would always change her hair. She was the reason Fallen seemed like a rock band. She seemed a little scary but down Earth. Lucy wanted to meet her over the other girls in the band.

….

Lucy finally gathered everything into her car and was on the road heading to the concert. It was times like this when she wished she could fly. If only the wings on the back of her dress were real, she could soar through the sky and get there in no time. Though after lots of traffic, gas stops, pee breaks, GPS navigation, and CDs, Lucy finally made it to the arena where the concert was taking place.

She found a parking spot about a block away and walked the rest of the way there. It's a good thing I wore Converse. She thought to herself realizing how horrible it would have been to walk in heels.

It seemed like she was early, there wasn't too many cars or people to navigate through before she reached her destination. Walking in, she could smell the alcohol in the air. Too bad she just turned seventeen. There was no way she'd be able to pull off being 21. Instead, she settled on a hot dog and cheese fries before making her way to the front row.

Pulling out her phone, she realized it would be another 20 minutes before the concert started. She took a selfie with the stage in the background. All of their equipment was already set up, now she was just waiting for them to walk out on stage. She posted the picture on her Instagram excited to have wasted time and to finally be there.

Then, the lights went out and the stage lit up as Daniel and Cameron walked out on the stage together. Then Gabbe and Roland walked out. Lastly, Molly and Arriane took their place behind their instruments and they started off with her favorite song "Ashes."

Lucy screamed excitedly to be so close to the band, to her celebrity crush. Daniel was even hotter in person. His fingers moved effortlessly along the strings and neck of the guitar, changing positions with each chord. She followed suit, trying to play air guitar as gracefully as Daniel until she finally gave up and began to sing the lyrics.

Finally, the moment she had been waiting for, she could see Daniel so clearly in front of her. Her heart skipped a beat. She wanted to be on stage with him. She felt a sudden pull to be closer to him. She needed any excuse, any chance to be with the band, to be with Daniel.

The band played the last line of their song and Daniel spoke into the microphone. "This next song is called 'my last love,' and tonight one of you lucky ladies will get to come on stage and sing it with us tonight. Let's go Atlanta girls, I wanna hear who wants it the most."

Lucy screamed at the top of her lungs, waving her hands in the air. She locked her eyes on Daniel as his violet-grey eyes scanned the crowd choosing who would be the lucky girl. Finally, he pointed to her with his eyes closed.

The security guards moved aside and helped Lucy on stage. It was her dream come true. Every band member stared at her as she stood on stage in front of them. It seemed as if all of them had seen a ghost. Was her makeup messed up that bad? Was her dress unappealing?

After what seemed like an eternity, Daniel finally handed her the microphone with a shaking hand and quickly backed away as if he was scared to touch her. It was a nightmare. Her crush regretted choosing her and wanted to be as far away as possible, so did the rest of the band.

Daniel played the first chord and the band jumped into song. I could see lyrics on a screen sitting on the stage I hadn't noticed before now. I already knew every word, though it was a comfort to have it there just in case. Soon enough she was dancing and singing like she'd done this a thousand times, as if it was natural to be with this group.

The song ended, and Lucy handed back the microphone. Gabbe waved at her, and welcomed her backstage after the show since Daniel walked off stage for a water break as soon as he played his last chord.
