Opposites Attract (A Sandra Alva Love Story)

Chapter One.

~|Faith's Point of View|~
"C'mon Faith. You know I'd never steer you wrong." My best friend, Lila, said to me as she sat on my bed. Lila and I had been friends since we were in Kindergarten and we're 19 now, both in college to be Registered Nurses. We love helping people. Lila had beautiful green eyes that I could never say no too, ivory skin and purple hair.

I rolled my hazel eyes and looked at her, tucking my black hair with a red money piece behind my ear. "Fine, I'll go with you to the BVB concert tonight." I sighed, giggling as she squealed and hugged me. "You're the best friend in the whole world!" She squealed and jumped up, dancing around my bedroom. "I know, and you owe me for this." I said to her as she bounced around. I didn't know who Black Veil Brides was, my music tastes was mostly old school hair metal bands, bands who's members would be old enough to be my parents, but that doesn't stop my wishes. Lila pulled me from my thoughts by jumping on my bed. "Oh my god I cannot believe we are gonna see BVB live! And during spring break!" Lila squealed as she used my knees as a drum set.

I giggled and pushed her hands away gently. "You'll have to get me up to date on their music and who they are. I say, picking up my computer and handing it to her. "We have 4 hours to get you up to speed. Andy is soooo hot." She whined as she opened up YouTube and showed me all the music videos and interviews and everything she could in regards to Black Veil Brides.

I bit my lip nervously as Lila drove us to the venue. We had plenty of time to get there and I knew Lila was excited but I just couldn't get excited. I only vibed with one song, which was "Knives and Pens". I felt like a horrible friend for lying to Lila about loving the band. Maybe I'd like them live? Maybe that'll help.

"Hey, you okay?" Lila asked, pulling me from my thoughts. I looked over at her and nodded, pulling at my sleeves. "Absolutely. Just nervous." I replied. "I promise I won't leave your side." Lila smiled, never taking her eyes off the road. I nodded and looked out my window. I had horrible anxiety about crowds. Always fearing that I'd fall and get trampled or something. I knew Lila wouldn't let anything happen to me. She's been my rock since my parents split up when I was 14 and I was basically forgotten by my dad as he replaced my mom and I pretty quickly with his new fiancé and new daughter.

"Girl, where do you keep going?" Lila asked, giggling a little as she pulled me from my thoughts again. "Huh?" I asked, looking at her. "You keep spacing out on me. Is it because of your dad? And his upcoming wedding?" She asked. "I'm not sure. It's possible. I'm just trying not to think about it. I mean, I knew the proposal was going to come and then the wedding eventually, just didn't think it would be so quick." I shrugged. "I get it, but haven't they been together for a while?" Lila asked. "4 years. Feels like forever with step monster and their evil incarnate." I sighed. I didn't have the best relationship with my dad's new fiancé or her daughter. They both were jealous of me because in the beginning my dad was always spending time with me and doing things with me, but the step-monster put a stop to it once their daughter, Amy, was born. She's almost 3 and the worst little girl ever. She's spoiled and just plain rotten.

Lila sighs and pulls into the venue parking lot and finds a spot. "Well tonight, we forget about them. We will have an amazing night and who knows, maybe we will be able to meet the band." Lila giggles as we climb out of the car. We head towards the entrance, Lila getting our tickets ready.

We quickly get past security and go into the arena where the first opening band was playing. "Who's playing?" I asked as Lila was already bouncing in place. "That's New Year's Day!" She giggles, holding onto my hand as she bounces. I couldn't help but giggle at her excitement.

We head towards the front of the stage, which was fairly easy since we were small. "Here's to the best night ever!" Lila screamed and I giggled. We turned our attention to the band that was playing and I watched as Lila jumped and screamed and sang along. I'm just glad she was happy.
