Andy's POV

"10 minutes" our tour manager, John, reminded us. Tonight is the biggest concert of our lives. I'm sure you're probably wondering why is the biggest so I'll fill you in. It's currently December 23 and tonight were performing at the annual Jingle Ball. It's very exciting for all of us considering not many rock bands are asked to perform here. With this performance brings many critics, making me more nervous than I need to be.

"Andy, you okay?" Ashley asked. I didn't realize how long I had been spaced out until John came back and told us it was time to perform.

I walked behind Jake and CC slowly trying to calm my nerves before walking onto the festive stage. We were the first act of the night and Ariana Grande was warming up seeing as she was right after us.

After playing our set, we all went back to the dressing room, coming off the high performing gives.

"That had to be the best we've ever played!" CC cheered. I nodded in agreement and then went to wash the makeup off my perspiring face.

-------next morning-------
I woke up at 2pm the next day and the first thing I did was check my phone, only to see 45 texts, 10 missed calls and 20 emails.

All the texts were the same thing. A link to the review of our performance last night. I immediately clicked because if so many people have sent it to me, it must be important.

"If I'm being completely honest, Black Veil Brides are wannabes. Their makeup and clothes closely resemble KISS. Black Veil Brides? More like go home and cry."

Were we really that bad?

Lucy's POV

My life was a constant disappointment. My mom died when I was only 4 years old and my dad died a couple months after. After that, I was put into an orphanage but no one adopted me. And last year on this exact day, I was forced out of the orphanage.

Let me tell you about myself. My name is Lucy Hayes and I'm 19 years old. It's December 23 aka my least favorite day of the year.

I'm sure you're wondering but what could be wrong with it? It's two days before Christmas! My mom died 15 years ago today. It wasn't the stereotypical car crash. She died from stage 4 breast cancer. Yeah some birthday.

Anyways, I've been living in a sketchy neighborhood with my boyfriend for 6 months. I don't have a real job, but when your a drug dealer, that doesn't matter. My boyfriend is the leader of a gang and I just help him with all the missions. It's dangerous, but it's the only thing I'm good at.

So let's fast forward to this very moment. I'm currently waiting for this guy to show up. He's a new one so I doubt he has any idea what he's getting himself into. The only rule about my gangs drug deals are once you're in, you're not leaving.

It's been 15 minutes waiting for this guy. He should be here in 5 minutes. If he's even one minute late, I'm leaving. After 4 minutes, I see him slowly walking up to me. Just as I'm handing him the drugs, the cool feeling of metal is set onto my wrists.

I look up shocked as I hear the words "Lucy Hayes you are under arrest for illegal drug possession."

What else could go wrong on my birthday.
