Escape The Fate's Photographer *A Craig Mabbitt Fanfiction*

Part 16

*Salem's POV*

The audience was going crazy waiting for the guys to come out, and when they did their confidence just radiated off of them.
You could feel it in your bones. This was gonna be a good show for sure.

When they played it was like nothing else mattered.

There's no past.

No future.

Just living in the moment and connecting with people through music.

I squeezed my way up to the front of the crowd to get a good shot while they were playing This War Is Ours.

That was probably the best picture I've ever taken.

A couple songs later
"This song is for the people who can't let go, they're so focused on how other people feel and don't stop to think about themselves once in a while. Sometimes it's a good thing, most of the time it can cause mental and physical pain, and we never notice it." Craig said before they played the beginning to World Around Me.

This song always made me emotional. I was in a really bad relationship about a year ago. This song was the reason I got out of it.

"I don't wanna be demanding, I just wanna know the reasons why, We live and die in a world of lies!" Craig sung as tears started to fill my eyes.

Regardless of how I was feeling I was still trying my best to get good pictures.

"Addicted to the way we crash and burn, I give it all away now it's your turn!" My eyes started to sting and the tears began to fall.

Craig and I made eye contact and a worried look struck his flushed face.

Still teary eyed I mouthed "It's okay." That way he didn't stop the show.

After the song was over Craig announced that they were taking a small break and that they would be back shortly.

Security helped me up onstage and I walked back to the guys.

I was immediately swarmed with hugs from the guys.

"What's wrong?" "Are you okay?!" They all chorused at once.

"I'm fine, I'll explain later. I got a bunch of really good shots guys. You mind if I head back to the bus early? I'm not feeling too good." I said.

"Yeah that's fine." Craig said grabbing the keys from his pocket and handing them to me. "Just lock it when you get inside."

"Got it." I stuttered as a tear escaped.

Craig wiped it away with a frown on his face. He rubbed my shoulder. I escorted myself out of the venue and back to the bus.

I locked the door and laid down in Craig's bunk.

There were so many old and bad memories floating around in my head all at once I got dizzy and felt like I was going to puke.

I ran to the bathroom quickly and as soon as I got to the toilet i started puking.

After it was all over I rinsed out my mouth and washed my hands.

I laid back down attempting to fall asleep until the guys got back.
