Chapter 3
The days passed by quickly and soon it was the night of the concert. I had a smile on my face for practically the whole day. I skipped home singing "I sing this song at funerals, no rush..." I unlocked the door and walked in as usual. My sister was in the he kitchen talking on the phone, so I just scampered upstairs and immediately hopped into the shower. I felt the warm water on my skin and it calmed my nerves.
Tonight I'll forget everything and just enjoy the music. I stepped out and quickly dried my hair, then turned my straightener on as I left the bathroom. I had no idea what I was going to wear tonight. I finally settled on some black short shorts and a blue v-neck that only dipped slightly into my cleavage. I looked into the mirror. Thinking to myself that I look pretty hot. I straightened my hair. Which I think is my best feature. Naturally its blonde but a few months back I dyed it crazy. My top few layers were pitch black. Then my bottom, orangey red like a fire with purple tips. It all contrasted so that my green-hazel eyes popped. I encircled my eyes with black eyeliner and stood back to look at myself. My phone went off twice in a row which was a signal. "Look out the window its time" is what it meant.
I glanced out the window to see Eric standing outside with a smile on his face. I checked the time. 6:30 pm. The concert starts at 8:00 pm. I gave Eric the little gesture that signals for him to wait a moment. "Hey Kaycee, I have a really huge...biology final tomorrow and I need to study hard! No one interrupt me, tell mom and dad when they get home!" "Yeah whatever they're at some sort of charity banquet or something, you want me to order a pizza?" "No...no im not hungry, ok I gotta study see you in the morning!" "Whatever love!" She hollered back, ending the conversation.
I finally backed away into my room. Whew I thought that conversation would never end. Giddily I skipped towards the window and climbed out onto the down slanting roof. I scooted closer to the edge and finally jumped into Eric's arms. "Nice catch if I do say so myself" he said cockily "Yeah yeah whatever, how far away is this arena place?" "Its actually only about a mile down the main road. We'll be there in no time. On another note. What in the hell are you wearing are you looking to get laid tonight?" He said half sarcastically but I knew it was a serious question "Nah just wanted to look hot. And by the way I could say the same to you!" I looked him over. Wearing leather pants that were skin tight and a black Black Veil Brides t-shirt. "Well, you know..." He began cockily "ALLLL the ladies want a piece of THIS!" He said throwing in a playful wink. "Oh yes all girls want a guy that wears makeup!" His face went a little red "Its only eyeliner. Besides, im with Kelly, I cant get laid. But if I did, there wouldn't be a chance of me conceiving any kids tonight." "And why is that?" I asked "BECAUSE OF THESE PANTS!" He said laughing almost. "Right. Nice touch by the way, ive never seen you in leather." He stopped and looked at me "I look super kinky huh" he said I couldn't help but burst out laughing. "The kinkiest one at the show!" I said, giggling at my own comment. "Oh hey look there it is." He said pointing at a medium sized building with a few people scattered in front. "Guess we're a bit early." I quickened my pace as we came up to the entrance of the building, excited and nervous at the same time. Finally the man at the counter was but 6 inches away from me "2 tickets please" I said, giddily and almost shaking with excitement as I handed him the money. "Its all general admission, no alcohol to the under aged." He said, handing me the tickets. I grabbed Eric by the hand as we walked through the doors, only about twenty people in the large open room. To one side a bar, and to another tables lined up with merch items for the various bands playing this evening. I mindlessly browsed through all the items for sale "Be right back" Eric said, wondering over to the bar. He has a fake ID, and could easily pass for twenty-one any day. Even though he does have a boyish complexion, his overall stature and appearance just made him look older. I loved through the whole row of tables. There was one shirt that caught my eye, white with all the band names on it. And at the very top it said "AP Tour 2011" I was just getting my change after buying it when Eric handed me a clear plastic cup that smelled of alcohol. "Its just beer, no worries." He said light heartedly, seeing the expression on my face after smelling it. " You know we're not supposed to be drinking this!" I loudly whispered. "You know your not supposed to be out tonight!" He argued jokingly. "True" I replied, half laughing. He checked the time on his phone and pointed out that it was 20 minutes till the show started. We made our way towards the stage, it was still very empty here, so getting to the front row took almost no effort at all. It was so hot I quickly gulped down my cold beer, and Eric went off to get another one. As soon as he returned we made idol conversation. And the room started to fill with more and more people. The first band to play tonight was Versa Emerge. I had honestly never heard of them, but enjoyed their set. Mindlessly drinking cup after cup of alcohol. Im a real light weight, so by the time Black Veil Brides was onstage setting up behind their black curtain, I was feeling a tad dizzy. That changed when I heard the intoxicating sound which could only be Jake playing the guitar. Soon CC on the drums and Jinxx doing rhythm guitar joined in. Ashley's bass and Andy's melodic voice added onto the amazingness that is Black Veil Brides. Their set included Heavens Calling, All Your Hate, Perfect Weapon, Never Give In, and finally Knives and Pens as a grand finally. I was a little disappointed at how short their set was, but then thought of how this was the AP tour, not all about Black Veil Brides tour. Andy gave a big thanks to the crowd of cheering people and ventured off stage along with the rest of his band. Me and Eric stood their, with huge smiles on our faces. A girl who was standing next to us casually asked "How'd you two like the show?" We answered all too excitedly "Amazing!" "Fantastic!" "It was all I ever dreamed of and more!" "Same!" The girl laughed " Here guys come with me," she said, leading us out of the building "Oh by the way, im Eliza, I guess you could say im an I See Stars groupie. Im actually partying with them on the tour bus later." She said, leading us towards several tour buses lined up in the parking lot "The BVB boys are doing a signing tonight, they didn't announce it because the venue has a curfew and didn't want them to. Its right out here. I gotta go back stage. It was nice meeting you guys!" She left without another word and we stood there, excited as hell.
*The Truths in this Chapter*
I DID see BVB on AP tour
We DID meet Eliza, the ISS groupie
She DID tell us about the signing
It WASNT supposed to happen because of the venue (Well that, and some god awful hater threw a beer at the stage and Andy threatened to kick his ass)
And I WAS in the very front row (ahh)
Sooo yup. Hope you guys like it so far!
