Chapter XII | Anastasia's POV


We have a few more minutes till the rave starts, so we're waiting by the entrance and the people walking past us are literally trying not to laugh at Christian right now.

''There, try that.'' I say, annoyed.

Teaching Christian how to shuffle is the most frustrating thing ever. He learned the Running Man move quickly but he's slowly, and I mean slowly... learning how to do the T-Step.

I combined both of the moves and when he did it he looked like he was about to break his fucking leg!

''Okay.. Okay stop!'' I say forcefully.

He stops the humiliating dancing and looks at me as if I've grown two heads.

''What? Okay Ana seriously! Why do we have to do this freaking dance at a concert!'' He says.

Knowing that he's this clueless makes me want to laugh. I mean, we're wearing rave outfits and doing rave dances for crying out loud!

''You know what? You're right... Just do the running man and the jumper alright? The T-Step isn't for everybody!''

''YO YO YO everybody!'' The DJ, Christian S. of the Adventure Club duo, announces. I quickly grab Christian's arm and run towards the stage so we can be as close to the stage as possible.

''Ana what the fu-''

''Shut up and run Christian!'' I scream.

We make it there and I am pleased at our spots. We're so close to the stage. It's so dark, the stage lights and the people with glow sticks makes it even more beautiful.

''If you're getting fucked up tonight, make some fucking noooiiiiiiseeee!''

Everybody including myself screams. I look at Christian and he's just looking around, I wish I knew what he was thinking.

''No no no, what was that? I said, if you're getting fucked up tonight, make some fucking NOOOIIISEEEEE!'' He yells.

The crowd's screams get louder and I see Christian shaking his head and holding in a smile. He's probably putting together all the puzzle pieces and realizing where the hell he is right now.

''Yeah, you see! That's what the fuck I'm talking about!'' The music is starting, I can hear the rhythm.

I quickly put my hand in my bra and take out my pills.

''Here.'' I say holding the hand out with the pill to Christian.

''No... What the hell is that?'' He asks, shocked.

''It's Ecstasy Christian. Don't be such a baby! If it makes you feel any better, I won't take one! Just you. I want you to experience this, the right way! After this is over, I'll get us home safe.''

He looks to me, then back to my hand, then back to me.

''You swear?'' He asks, while hesitantly taking the pill, I give him a bottle of water.

''Just take it and enjoy Christian.''

He sighs, ''fuck it..'' He puts the pill in his mouth and downs the bottle of water.

I smile, and turn my face back to the stage. Christian S. Tosses the mic to Leighton, the other DJ of the duo.

''Scream if you're with me!'' Leighton shouts.

I find myself shocked and very pleased seeing that Christian participated in the screaming!

Take the pill Ana...

Oh no... Her voice...

Do it...

I give in to Vixx's demand, but I only take half a pill, it won't even last that long, and I manage to do it without Christian catching me.

The beautiful song is playing, I look up at the sky and think to myself... This is life. This is what it's about.

Only sunshine, under the bright sky.

Only sunshine, under the bright sky.

I feel the E kicking in my system... It feels like heaven.

When the words are like bullets and they break through your skin,

and there's no way to get them all out.

When it feels like a rush seeping into your soul,

Stay gold, stay gold, stay gold.

I look over to Christian and I see that he's looking at the stage and all the lights surrounding it, he's in a daze. He's enjoying it.

It's the wild side...

Yes, it is.


Christian's POV

I feel... weird, a good weird. Almost relaxed.

The bass drops and everyone, including me and Ana are jumping and throwing our hands in the air. Most are doing peace signs, but Ana is doing the Rock On hand sign and I find myself copying her.

This is so fun, so different...

You were always searching, for something out there,

out of reach, couldn't stop you, couldn't hold you back,

you were so real. So real.

I'm looking at Ana in awe. She's so lost in the music, so beautiful.

When the words are like bullets and they break through your skin,

and there's no way to get them all out,

when it feels like a rush seeping into your soul,

Stay gold, stay gold, stay gold.

The music starts to fade and I notice that a different DJ has come on stage. I can hear a new song starting in the background. The beat is making me want to do the 'Running Man' as Ana calls it, believe it or not. The DJ starts to speak.

''This is what we're gonna do! We wanna show the whole world that DC goes the fucking hardest out of every state!''

The crowd starts screaming, many DJ's are walking on stage now. The crowd starts screaming again! And the attractive female dancers on stage are doing their thing. Makes the whole scene look trippy.

Oh I like it when you break down low,

oh I like it when you break... down... low.

The song changes again to a more upbeat song.

Clap your hands. Clap clap your hands. Clap your hands.

Clap clap your hands. Clap your hands. Clap your hands.

We start clapping our hands, jumping, screaming! Ana's eyes are closed, and she's doing the 'Running Man' and the 'T-Step' she's so lost in the music is amazes me.

Next thing you know. I feel someone spraying something on the crowd. They're spraying us with fucking paint! Ana seems to enjoy this. So why can't I? Fuck, I'll enjoy it for her sake.

The DJ's are jumping, they're enjoying it as much as the crowd is. The rave lights are all over the place. It's pretty fucking awesome if you ask me.

I hear the song change to a song that Mia plays a lot, but it's remixed so that's cool...

All day, all night,

I got the lights in my eyes and now I'm falling for you

All day, all night,

I got the lights in my eyes and now I'm falling for you

All day, all night,

I got the lights in my eyes and now I'm falling for you

Keep cool, stay young, I'm just having my fun with the lessons in love.

Bass drops, and beautiful fireworks go off, along with the people spraying paint on us, and the crowd goes crazier than ever, but then I look at Ana and she's looking around the crowd frantically, scared. She's breathing hard as well.

''Ana you okay?'' I scream in her ear so that she can hear me.

She looks at me wide eyed and then she looks at something behind me and then she goes limp, she faints.

I grab her so that she doesn't fall on the ground and get pummeled on. I then look behind me.

Nothing. I see nothing but the people surrounding us jumping up and down.

I need to get her out of here and find out what the fuck just happened!
