Meet and Greet

Chapter 2

Vic Fuentes. The lead singer for Pierce The Veil. One of my biggest heroes.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes to be sure I wasn't just seeing things. He had liked my cover-no- he liked six of them. My chest felt like it was about to burst. I couldn't' breathe, I checked the comment he had left on my latest post," Wow, you have some talent! Love your covers and hope you make it somewhere with that voice and charm :)" I made a screenshot of everything, including the notification showing Vic had started following me. I was wide awake now and felt like I could run a mile. Vic, my hero, my role model, my freaking sunshine just noticed me and could possibly see all of my covers I put so much time into. I was more than happy at the moment.

I didn't know what to do so I posted the screenshots and thanked Vic and told how grateful I was. I was still on edge with happiness so I took a shot at DMing Vic. I sent a picture of the screenshot and the caption read, " Thank you so much for the comment! I make these covers because of you and the rest of your band, I am more than happy at the moment and just wanted to thank you so much for the amazing surprise to wake up to! Vic you and the guys literally mean the world to and I would tell you more but I dont want to seem like another over-obsessed fan... Thank you so much :)" I sent it and decided to get ready for the long day of nothing.

I took a shower, get dressed into a Pierce The Veil shirt because of the Instagram buzz, and ate a small breakfast. I was still ecstatic over the whole thing and was in the best mood I had been in for a long time. The day had been great so far and it was only 1:10 in the afternoon. I still had the rest of the day and hoped the good vibes wouldn't get drowned.

I knew the good day wouldn't last, everything was great up until I get the phone call from my mom. She said her usual speech about her getting out and living a better life, but this time we started talking about our future, but more attention to mine. We spoke about my plans after highschool just a few weeks away, me getting into a good college, and finding someone to settle down to. She told me how she had friends with great daughters so I had so remind her I wasn't into females. She brushed it off and kept talking about how a good girl would make me happy, and again I had to remind her. She stopped talking right before she unleashed the side I hated the most about her.

"Kellin, you are a boy, you like girls. You're just going through a phase in your life and will soon see how homosexualtiy isnt a good choice in life to follow. You're handsome and will be able to find a girl and be happy." I sighed in frustration and wasnt about to let her trample me again.

"You have always told me that my dreams of being a rockstar were unrealistic and I believed you, you told me listening to the music I like will get me into to trouble but you know what? Im a good kid,but I guess you were never around to see that now were you? You were always too busy whoring around and ignoring that fact your ;love of your life' was beating the shit out of me, You also told me I needed to stop hanging out with my best friends because they wouldn't help me get far in life. Then you told me I couldn't hang around anyone because you wanted me to focus solely on school work. Now you tell me I can't like who I like because you don't agree with it. Do you really think I was going to give you money if I got anywhere in life? Hell no! I dont need a Debbie-Downer like you nagging on me at everything I do!"

"You know what Kellin? You're losing out on a perfect life. I am so disappointed in you and hope you see that Im right. Don't come crawling to me when you screw up everything!" I was done. "Fuck you! Im done with you! Don't ever ask to call me again you worthless bitch!" I hung up and stormed up into my room without informing my aunt with the drama on the phone.

I was now on my phone, I had a DM notification and had completely forgot about me sending on to Vic. He had replied and it brought a smile to my face." No problem! You have some real talent and can't wait to see you make it big in life :)" I smiled and replied quickly. "I am going to keep making covers and would love to make it big someday, thank you for the inspiration!" A few minutes went by and a buzz from my phone notifies me Vic had replied again. "My fans mean the world to me, more than anything! I feel like you can do anything i you put your mind to it. Shoot for your dreams and never give up, keep all of the people who try to bring you down away and keep supportive people around no matter what. If you ever need anything, advice, a place to vent, questions, or would just like to say hi, I am alway here. Good luck and I hope you keep posting. Between you and me, if you make it big you could possibly be a bigger heartthrob than me ;)"

I was blushing and a little taken back from his comment. Is he always this nice to his fans?" I doubt that, to be completely honest I find you very talented, successful, genuine, and attractive." I felt a little confident and was sure he heard comments like that everyday so I doubted the comment would even phase him. He replied back like he was actually into the small conversation. "Youre already talented, genuine, and attractive, hopefully you can become successful too. It was great talking, I'm about to start stage rehearsals for tonight's show so maybe you can message me later. :)))" My cheeks flushed and my tummy was full of butterflies and I wasn't 100% sure but...

I think Vic may have been flirting with me.
