I stood prepping for the last time. Putting on a bit of eyeliner and doing a very thin version of my diamond eye. Within the last few months we've done the extra work for a bit of a blast from the past, war-paint, I liked the facial war-paint not the bodily stuff that clogged us up. Not making it easy to stay healthy. I struggled a lot on my own. Not to mentioned CC's struggles about perfecting it and how much he had to take off!
I could hear our manager harping that we needed to head out for the V.I.P I smiled a bit. And thought 'Wow, these kids spent a hundred bucks. If not more to meet us... Are we that important? It Blows my mind every time we get a gift or VIP kids. They spend so much time on us... Just for a few songs they relate to... Not to mention the covers they do! Jake's guitar work is crazy! And here I see kids on YouTube flying through them all excited and then they buy copies of our guitars or one of Ashley's bass'.

We walk out of our dressing room excited and smiling. We looked around the corner seeing all the VIP. We were shocked. At least twenty of these girls... And a few guys obviously. There were the band sluts there looking over Ashley being the only single man. He didn't sleep around as much as people thought but he gave most the typical badass sex appeal rocker. He hides a lot of himself and his own demons. 
I saw the girl from before in line kinda drifting to herself. She's a loner, it made me sad to see but she was like me. As we chatted through the meets and pictures when she came up and instantly looked more comfortable and started goofibg and telling CC jokes like they were old friends. She ran into Jake which they discussed health and dietary plans.  She seemed to get along with everyone. When she came up on me she blushed softly it was kinda cute. She began talking about spiders and handing me a small plush one. She said her cat once caught one and she had rescued it before the cat killed it. I was quiet surprised how she got a long and shared a interest with everyone.
  She passed by me and started joking and making jokes with Ashley winking at him as if they were friends. Going to Andy last she began debating which KISS comic was best. This girl was amazing.
