The date is the 4th of March 2010. You are on your way to your next destination on your tour which is Stockholm. You are exhausted from all the traveling. You've been on tour for only 10 days but are already feeling homesick. Good thing you took your dog Buttons with you. That little Yorkshire terrier is your life. The time is 18.35 when the tour bus enters the beautiful Swedish capital. You've never been to Sweden before and you're checking out the charming city from the bus window. You were too busy admiring your surroundings and didn't notice that you were at your destination. The globe arena. Your good friend who also happens to be your manager Marcus called you in for a sound check before tomorrow's show.

You get out of the bus running excitingly towards Marcus giving him a tight hug.

- "Beautiful city isn't it y/n," Marcus says while smiling

-" It really is! I'm so excited to play here tomorrow. But what's with all the people... I'm playing tomorrow aren't I?" You say with a confused voice

-"Yeah that's right, " Marcus says while cackling "There's a band playing right now, they're pretty good actually," He says 

-"Oh is that so? "Better than me?" You ask while raising ur eyebrow giving Marcus a questionable look

-"Why don't we find out?" Marcus says while grinning

You both enter the arena smiling and are utterly amazed by how big the place is. But your smile quickly fades when you meet eyes with the two bodyguards guarding the entrance to the stage. Marcus goes up to them confidently explaining how you are performing here tomorrow and you need to set up early in the backdoors showing them some kind of verification, an ID of some sort. The bodyguards look at each other, take a look at you and open the doors for you and Marcus to enter. As you're both walking towards the stage you think to yourself "How did that work?"

When you enter the salon you get hit by the heavy electric guitar noise and beautiful vocals. "Wow, This band is absolutely amazing," You think to yourself while your mouth opens with amazement. "I told you so," Marcus says with an annoying tone. You just roll your eyes while acting annoyed. 

You take glances at the guy playing the electric guitar. He looks about the same age as you, he's very attractive just your type. His hair is black as the night and braided into multiple braids. He is wearing jeans thrice his size, a pair of Nike sneakers, and an oversized jersey with a black puffer vest. You can't stop looking at him. You get rudely interrupted by a buzz from your jean-back pocket. It was a text message from your iPhone 4.

"Right

"Right...What was I doing anyways" you say to yourself. You squeeze yourself through the crowd finally reaching backstage where Marcus is waiting impatiently. He shows you the new stage crew since there are different people in every location. You guys chat for a while, you're having such a great time with the crew that you don't realize the heavy electric guitar and the loud drumming have gone silent. Your curiosity gets the best of you so you tip-toe out on stage. It was pitch black. It seemed like everyone just vanished into thin air. The enormous phobia of the dark that you have is starting to raise. You begin to feel your palms sweating, and your head aching when suddenly it all went black.

The time is 20:30. You open your eyes slowly when you unanticipatedly meet eyes with someone.
