Clare's POV:
"Eli what are you going here!" I knew the angry voice from the first syllable that fell from her lips. Julie. The universe must really hate me to have her spoil every good time I have with Eli.
Eli turned and he spotted her. Her perfect hair had fallen into crinkly waves. She was wearing back skinny jeans and a blue top that complimented her small figure. I hated that she was pretty.
"Julie? Oh um Clare and I were just…" He stopped because Julie began tapping her foot annoyingly and she raised an eyebrow.
She crossed her arms over her chest. The one thing I had that she didn't was boobs. I hope that wasn't the only reason he liked me though.
"What are you doing here with her?" She looked pissed, more pissed than I had ever seen and I had seen her pretty pissed off before.
Eli looked at me nervously and I bit my bottom lip because I was nervous too. As much as I wanted Eli to break up with her I didn't want a public scene and my head was still hurting I wanted to go lay down.
"Clare was over at my house telling me about her date tonight…."
Julie cut me off, "A date huh?" She looked at me with a raise eyebrow as if expecting confirmation.
"Um yeah with Declan." I said a little nervously.
Julie scoffed, "Declan Coyne? As if." She chuckled wickedly.
Eli and my jaws both dropped, "And why not?" I asked. I could not believe she didn't think I could get a date! If she only saw how Declan was dancing with me at the club she'd shut up. I hate her.
Julie rolled her eyes, "Honestly?"
"No!" Eli stepped in, "Ladies let's just cool off, I have to get Clare back she has a concoction."
Julie giggled, "Did Declan have one when he asked her out?"
That bitch. Eli's eyes budged, "What the hell Jules! Clare has never done anything to you but you're always being such a bitch to her and its not cool Jules. Clare is my best friend and if you are going to keep this up then it's over. So what's it going to be?"
Julie's jaw dropped, "Eli I'm only joking."
"Then your jokes suck, get some new ones." Eli spit out coldly.
Julie opened her mouth to say something but I cut her off this time, "Eli my head…."
"Okay let's get you home." Eli took my hands and we started walking out but Julie caught his arm, "Wait Eli can I call later?"
Eli sighed, "I don't know Jules, I need to cool off. I'll call you." And we walked out the door.

Eli's POV:
I'm not sure what just happened. I finally stood up to Julie. My heart was beating really fast. Clare was supporting a fresh smile when I looked down at her. "What?" I ask.
Clare giggled, "Nothing." She wrapped an arm around my lower half and pulled me close to her side. I slipped my arm around her shoulder and smiled. Maybe this is how life should be. Me and Clare. Happy as hell.
Maybe I shouldn't call Julie. Maybe I should just end it. I wonder how life would be if I could just make Clare my girlfriend. I know it would be great but I also knew Julie. She would do all she could to make our lives a living hell and I wouldn't do that to Clare.
As we were walking in comfortable silence both Clare and my phone went off so we both scrambled to answer them, "Hello?" I spoke.
"Hello?" I heard Clare's angle voice speak into her phone.
I heard a chuckled, "Dude guess what!" I recognized Adam's voice instantly. He sounded excited.
"What?" I chuckled and rolled my eyes.
"We got a gig!" We had gigs all the time I was surprised he was so excited. Then again Adam was always weird so maybe something happened with his girlfriend...
"Okay?" I said.
"Dude you don't understand!" He practically screamed, "Black Veil Brides is in town! You remember we tried to get tickets a while back but it was sold out?"
I remembered us camping out and waiting for twelve damn hours and still no tickets "Don't bring that up." I whispered harshly.
"Don't be such a baby." He chuckled, "Anyways, their opening act got the flue or broke a leg or something, I don't remember but the point is one of the guys was watching a YouTube video and they saw one of our videos related and they watched it! They looked at our website and saw that we were located only a couple hours from where they were playing and they want us to open for them!"
No fucking way. Opening for Black Veil Brides! I couldn't do it I'd puke all over the stage!
"W-what?" I stuttered and out of the corner of my eye I saw Clare close her phone with a fresh blush on her face.
"We are opening for Black Veil Brides tomorrow! Do you know how many doors this could open for us!" He yelled in my ear.
I bit my bottom lip, "I uh-"
Adam cut me off, "No backing out because we already said yes. Look man I gotta go, be at the music room in three hours to rehearse okay? We'll give you the rest of the info there. Bye."
And the line went dead.

Clare's POV:
"Hello?" I spoke into my cell phone.
I heard a faint chuckle, "Hey Clare"
Declan. I recognized the voice and smiled, "Hey Declan."
"Clare about our date tonight…."He trailed off.
I had heard this tone before. He was backing out. Julie would just love this. Once again no one wanted to date Clare Edwards. Why would they?
I took a deep breath as I felt my eyes grow wet, "If you want to cancel I-"
Declan stopped me, "Wait let me finish."
He was one of those guys that thought it was better to explain the dumping. One of those stupid guys who thought saying 'we should still hang out…as friends' or 'I just don't feel it like that' would make it better and it would keep them from being jerks. Wrong.
"O-okay." I stuttered. I really didn't want to sound too disappointed.
"I do want to cancel but only because I need to get some important stuff arranged tonight. I got these-"
I cut him off once again, "Listen Declan if you want to cancel you don't have to explain. Just say it okay? I don't need an explanation."
Declan laughed. He laughed! This was NOT funny, "Okay if you would rather me not explain that I got some kick ass tickets to a concert and I was hoping to post pone our date until tomorrow so I could take you with me then okay. I will keep my mouth shut."
Oops. I was so stupid! I felt my face grow hot. I whispered, "Oh."
Declan chuckled, "Are you blushing?"
"Umm." I whispered back. I didn't him to know I was blushing.
"I bet it's pretty damn cute." He said.
My blushed deepen, "Sorry I um cut you off earlier."
"It's not a problem, but I do need an answer, is it okay if I postpone? I need to arrange something for the concert and I've been on hold with this company all day. I don't think it would be fair to take you out if I have a phone glued to my head. My deepest apologizes; I wish I could take you out tonight as well." He said.
"Oh no it's okay! I'd love to go with you!" I exclaimed eagerly.
"Great! Okay well I will pick you up tomorrow at 4 okay? It's a couple hours away so we have to get going early, I hope that's alright?" He asked hesitantly.
"No that's fine!" I smiled.
"Okay Clare well I should get going. I'll see you tomorrow." He said sweetly.
"Bye Declan!" And I hung up my phone before a deeper blush spread over my cheeks.
"Who was that?" Eli asked.
"Declan! He canceled our date tonight so he could take me to a concert tomorrow! I am so excited." I squealed.
Eli rolled his eyes, "Which concert? Some suck ass pop group?"
I shrugged. I was so excited I forgot to ask him who he got tickets too! "I actually didn't ask. I'm sure it will be something good."
"Well I have some news for you." Eli smiled.
"Ooo! Tell me!" I slipped my arm back around Eli.
Eli smiled, "Adam got a call today from the manager of Black Veil Brides!"
"What!" I knew it was a pretty big band though I didn't like their music.
Eli nodded, "The guy said their opening act fell through and they needed a replacement. They saw our YouTube page and saw we were local. Clare we got it! This is the biggest thing that could ever happen to us!"
My eyes widened. This is so great! A gig like this could open so many doors for Eli. "No way!" I shrieked.
"Yes way! We got it Clare!" I threw my arms around him and gave him a tight hug, "Congratulations! When is it!"
Eli's face fell to a frown, "Tomorrow night."

Eli's POV:
Clare frowned as I told her the date. I could tell she wanted to be there to support me but I would never ask her to cancel her date. That wouldn't be fair.
"Oh um well just let me call Declan to cancel." She whispered as she pulled out her phone.
I took the phone from her, "Clare no. Go on your date, I'll be fine."
She bit her soft pink lip, "Eli I want to be there to support you…"
I sadly shook my head, "You've given me all the support I need. Please go on your date. You deserve it."
"Alright…if you're sure?" She hesitated.
I nodded, "Go on your date."
"Okay." She nodded.
I sighed, "I need to get to rehearsal, do you want to come?"
"No Alli and I are going to go shopping." She smiled.
"Okay, let's get you home or I could take you to Alli's?" I offered.
"Please?" Clare gave me her big blue eyed look.
"Of course." I smiled before taking her hand and walking her to Morty.

Clare's POV:
I felt sick as I looked at myself in the mirror. I was excited to go see a concert and spend some time with Declan but I was not happy about missing Eli's big show. This was the biggest venue he had ever played and I really wanted to be there.
I heard a knock on the door. This was it. I took a final look in the mirror. I was wearing a pair of black skinny jeans and a purple ruffled tank with my black flats and as Alli put it "concert makeup". I looked nice but I felt horrible.
Once I got downstairs I opened the door to find Declan with a bouquet of beautiful pink roses. He smiled, "You look gorgeous."
I blushed, "Thank you."
Declan handed me the flowers, "I was going to get red but I got the pink because they matched your beautiful lips…"
My blush grew deeper, "Declan they are beautiful. Come on in, I need to grab a vase for them."
I reached for his hand and pulled him inside. He smiled and leaned in to kiss my cheek, "Hi."
I giggled, "Hi."
We walked into the kitchen and I found a vase. Once the flowers were situated I smiled, "Let's go."
We walked outside and I didn't see a car. I raised an eyebrow, "Um Declan?"
"Yes?" He smirked.
I bit my bottom lip, "Are we walking or…?"
He chuckled and pulled out his phone before punching in a number, "Ronnie? Hey could you bring the car around? Thanks man."He hung up the phone.
"You hired a car?" I smiled. He really did take this date thing seriously.
Declan shook his head, "No I did something better."
As he said that a black hummer stretch limo pulled onto my street. My eyes grew wide, "You didn't…"
"I did." He smirked.
"Declan!" I threw my arms around him, "This is amazing! I've never been in a limo before!"
"Well I'm glad your first time is with me." He took my hand, "Come on, let's go check it out."
As we walked to the limo Declan opened the door for me but I hesitated, "One question."
He raised an eyebrow, "Yes?"
"Who are we going to see?" I asked.
Declan smiled, "Black Veil Brides."
A/N: If I get tons of reviews we will get a good girl fight and possibly some sex backstage? What do you think? Maybe a cheater revealed?
