On the night of the concert, Willow's mom was out drinking. On any other night, Willow would have been disgusted, but nothing could ruin her excitement. Tonight, she could possibly be meeting her idols, and the ones who saved her life. Unfortunately, they weren't doing meet and greets every concert, but Willow wanted to keep her hopes up, just in case.
At around seven, Bree called Willow and said she was heading over there. When they hung up, Willow freaked. She just couldn't wrap her head around the fact that she was seeing BLACK VEIL BRIDES in concert! She was sure it was going to be the best day of her life. Better than seeing Peirce the Veil, Of Mice & Men, and all of the other bands she's seen live. They were great and all, but Black Veil Brides had a special place in Willow's heart.
When Bree got to Willow's place, she went up to the door and knocked really fast, making it obvious that she was just as excited as Willow. Willow smiled, opened the door, and let Bree in. But Bree just ran around and said they had to leave quickly so they could be in the front. Willow laughed a little at Bree, and told her to settle down. Bree gave her a look.
"Not cool. You expect me to just 'settle down'? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?" Bree asked.
Willow shook her head. "Let's get out of here before you explode." She was excited too, of course; she was just better at hiding it. Inside, she was fangirling like no one has ever seen.
They both hopped in the car, Willow driving this time because she didn't really trust Bree with both of their lives at the moment. The whole ride there, they jammed to Peirce the Veil, not wanting to get tired of Black Veil Brides before they even get there. They sung along, not talking that much, but that was okay. Neither of them minded.
Willow got out of the car first, checking her outfit, making sure she had all of the necessary clothes on. She'd had a dream the night before about not having any pants on when she met them. She didn't even want to think about if that had actually happened. After a second she was done, and she went to see what Bree was doing. When she got to the other side of the car, she saw Bree standing there, jaw dropped, looking past Willow. So, of course, Willow turned and looked behind her, and saw guards holding back a bunch of screaming girls. Behind the guards were Black Veil Brides.
Willow could hardly control herself. She stared at them, just like Bree. After a few seconds, she had the thought that if any of the band members saw them, they'd probably be creeped out. So she got out of her funk, and poked Bree so she could do the same.
"Obviously, they're not seeing anyone right now. Lets just go get in line." Willow told her. Bree looked away after a few seconds and nodded, but stared at them the whole time heading down the sidewalk towards the end of the line. Willow couldn't resist but to do the same.
They got in line and goofed around. Willow couldn't help but think of those guards holding the girls back. Did that mean that no one was going to be able to meet them? She wasn't going to be able to meet the men who saved her? She knew that many people must have told them that they've saved their lives, but one more couldn't hurt. Willow was sure that it felt good, and she wanted them to know how much they've helped her.
Eventually they got to the front, and Willow was surprised that Bree hadn't literally exploded by then. Honestly, she was impressed at herself that she had kept her cool so long. They walked inside and immediately shoved as far to the front as they could without people yelling or shoving. Willow was trying to stay patient, but it was pretty hard. Bree had given up by then, complaining and groaning.
"You know they need to get ready. Relax." Willow told her.
Bree sighed dramatically. "I knooowww. I'm just so excited." She grinned, making Willow do the same. She hadn't felt so happy in awhile.
Twenty minutes and a few random pictures later, Black Veil Brides opening band, Forbidden Tendencies, unexpectedly ran onstage. Everyone cheered, and the fun started.
The band played a few songs, hyping everyone up. Willow and Bree didnt know them that well, but they were good, so they had a lot of fun. When they were done, they all talked about how grateful they were, the lead singer introduced Black Veil Brides, and they ran off stage. Soon after, Black Veil Brides came out and everyone yelled and cheered as loud as they could.
They played a ton of songs, and Willow was having the time of her life. All too soon, they said their goodnights and ran offstage. Willow grabbed Bree's hand and started rushing through the crowd towards the busses. She just had to meet them. The concert had reminded her how absolutely amzing they were. When they got out there, there were already a bunch of screaming fans. Willow sighed and stopped, Bree slamming into the back of her.
"Sorry!" She yelped. Willow just nodded, not caring about that.
"How the heck are we going to get to meet them if-" Willow was cut off by a guard, yelling loudly for everyone to quiet down.
"Black Veil Brides will not be meeting anyone! This is a very large, dangerous crowd! We don't want any of them hurt, and obviously, no one wants to leave! We're sorry for the inconvenience!"
Willow's jaw dropped. Bree grabbed her hand again. "It's ok, Willow. It was amazing seeing them live, though, wasn't it?" Willow heard her, but didnt bother to respond. She didn't want to start crying in front of everyone, so she went around the nearest corner and sat. Bree sat beside her. "Aw, come on, Willow..."
Willow was crushed. She knew she shouldn't have hoped for anything. She should've known this would happen. But she wasn't prepared, so of course, she had to make a fool of herelf and break down, right then and there. Bree hugged Willow, trying to comfort her.
"Willow, just by being there it means something to them. They know you care." Bree pulled away and looked at Willow. "Besides, I swear, Andy was totally checking you out the whole time."
Willow laughed a little and wiped her eyes. She was about to thank Willow, before a deep, unmistakable voice cut her off.
"Well, what can I say? I know a babe when I see one."
