AUTHOR NOTE: THIS SHORT ONE SHOT WAS INSPIRED BY THE SONG ALL ABOUT YOU: BIRDY, ENJOY. WRITTEN FROM WEISS'S POV.
I can't believe my father was letting me attend this concert I thought to myself, still shacking my head in disbelief however I wasn't going to let my mistrust ruin tonight. I had been looking forward to this venue for quite sometime and even booked a back stage pass to meet the singer. I hurried to get ready as I pulled out my cell phone to dial the number of my personal driver. Stepping out of my huge bedroom to descend the cold marble stair case. I suppose my father felt guilty for having me locked in this manor all day.
Where can I start that long story, my father was a suspicious man and had little trust of anyone my self included. At a young age he insisted to have me home schooled and I had little to no contact with the outside world. Now at the age of seventeen the only person whom I had made a friendship with was my elder sister. I hadn't seen her in years however, my father's behavior since she had disappeared had become abusive to put it lightly. I look down at the light bruises painted all over my unexposed parts, a small tear trying to wiggle it's way out of my eye. Slapping myself at the thought of showing weakness I pull on my famous fake smile and walk out the door for the first time in years.
The drive to the concert was Fairley uneventful, the driver had attempted to make small talk but I shut him down with a couple of my icy glares. I swear I could feel him shiver from the back seat of the white limo. I smirk to myself at the thought of meeting my favorite composer still making my heart almost burst open. As I spent most of my time locked up I had found myself becoming more interested in music, and had found this person by accident. Snickering at the memory of foolish me staying up till the ungodly hour of 3am searching the internet and stumbling upon this website called Pandora. It seemed simple enough, a radio station that played music based upon your musical preference. I had opted for a random station and was almost instantly brought to another land. The voice that admitted from my laptop was one of an angel and I instantly feel in love with someone I didn't know. I had tried to look up the artist who's name was Crescent Rose but apparently they have never made a public appearance. After a couple of months I had all but given up hope of meeting this person but then I herd through one of the advertisements that they were going to have their first break out tour titled: RWBY. I was so excited that I had booked tickets with out a second thought to asking father.
The white limo eventually pulled up in front of the stadium, I was sure glad that I had booked the private booth hating the idea of being close to a bunch of people. I made my way up to the balcony that over looked the stage. I was pretty much shaking with raw energy at this point, which was another new for me. Having arrived a little early I got to watch the stage crew begin to make final preparations for the performance. Finally after what felt like a year the lights were lowered, and the crowd began to roar "Crescent Rose" at the top of their lungs, deciding that no one could see me I decided to join in the chants. Red roses began to appear in the center of the stage and I held my breath as the most beautiful girl stood their. A red scarf clung to her eyes were piercing silver, and most of all her hair was this pitch black with red tips. At this point I was reeling in anticipation for my angel to open her mouth.
Light instruments filled the stadium as the girl began plucking on her red guitar, and she opened her soft red lips to begin singing.
"Why does she make sure to be so immature about these things, I don't want you to change around it
And sometimes this love will end and all will be forgotten then someday we will laugh about it
And you say that it's alright
And I know that it's a lie
From the black in your eyes
You don't have to do this on your own
Like there's no one that cares about you
You don't have to act like you're alone
Like the walls are closing in around you
You don't have to pretend no one knows
Like there's no one that understands you
I'm not just some face you used to know
I know all about you
And you should know that someone cares about you
I know all about you
Here I am still holding on you're finding ways to break the bonds, they're stronger than you realize
You could say that I've not tried, I've let you down, left you behind but you're the one who's saying goodbye
And you say that it's alright
And I know that it's a lie
From the black in your eyes
You don't have to do this on your own
Like there's no one that cares about you
You don't have to act like you're alone
Like the walls are closing in around you
You don't have to pretend no one knows
Like there's no one that understands you
I'm not just some face you used to know
I know all about you
And you should know that someone cares about you
I know all about you
And you should know that someone cares about you
I know all about you
And you say that it's alright
And I know that it's a lie
From the black in your eyes
Here I am still holding on you're finding ways to break the bonds, they're stronger than you realize
And you could say that I've not tried, I've let you down, left you behind but you're the one who's saying goodbye
And you don't have to do this on your own
Like there's no one that cares about you
You don't have to act like you're alone
Like the walls are closing in around you
You don't have to pretend no one knows
Like there's no one that understands you
I'm not just some face you used to know
I know all about you
I know all about you"
The girl had disappeared as fast as she arrived and I stood their tears filling my eyes. Gaining some of my previous courage back I made my way out of the booth and to the back of the stage. Pass in hand easily clearing the security, I had made sure to purchase all of the backstage tickets. Call me selfish if you want but I didn't want to half hearted fan to ruin this moment for me. I slowly made my way to the singers dressing room. Why was I shaking? I shouldn't be this scared. Reaching for the doorknob I turned it and opened the door. The singer was sitting on a black sofa and looked to be awaiting my arrival. She was smaller than I had imagined but that was okay I liked how petit she was. I entered the room and started to introduce myself.
"My name I Weiss, it's a pleasure to meet you Miss Rose" I said extending my hand for a shake.
She looked at me with a silly grin plastered on her face before flying off her couch and crushing me into a hug, I froze in the encounter but before I could come to my senses she let go and grabbed my hand to look me in the eye to say " I know it's you Weiss, It's me Ruby we used to be friends" Giving me a quick kiss on the cheek.
