A Concert That Saved

Chapter 1 : School

I woke up to the beeping of my alarm clock . I groaned because I was not looking forward to going to school today . I sat up in bed and stared out the window . Rain was pouring down , I groaned again .

I pulled the covers off of me and climbed out of bed . I took a long look in the mirror . God , I was so ugly . I hated what I saw in the mirror . What I saw wasn't beauty . It was a fat , ugly , worthless human . As I stared at my reflection , tears began to build up in my eyes . I quickly wiped them and turned on some music . There was something about music that made me feel so much better about myself , especially when I listen to my heroes .

My heroes name's are Vic , Mike , Jaime , and Tony . They're in a band called Pierce The Veil . You might think of a hero as someone who wears a cape and rescues people from evil villains . In my eyes , that isn't a hero . It's a fictional character . Real life heroes are all around us . People in military are heroes along with police officers , doctors , etc . In my case , my heroes happen to be in a band .

After I was dressed and ready for school , I went downstairs and took my anxiety pills . I hated the taste of them , but I knew I had to take them
.

"Are you ready ?" asked my mom .

I sighed , "I guess ."

We both got in the car and my mom pulled out of the driveway . The whole way to school was a awkward silence . Ever since I attempted suicide , my mom and I haven't been very close . I sometimes feel like she's scared of me .

When I arrived at the school grounds , my heart began to race . I was scared to go back to this place . I knew for a fact everyone was going to judge me for what I did .

All of a sudden , I felt my mom's hand touch my back .

"It'll be okay sweetie , I love you ."

I wanted to say "I love you" back to her , but I couldn't seem to get it out so I then hopped out of the car and began to walk onto campus .

Everyone was staring at me and pointing . Even with the anxiety pills , I could still feel the anxiety kicking in . I put my hood on so people couldn't see my face that was burning red from embarrassment .

As I entered the school hall a girl named Sarah Ramsey pointed straight at me and yelled "Look ! It's the worthless emo kid !"

The tears came running down my face . I made my way through the crowd of people and into the girl's bathroom . I went into one of stalls and let my body slide down the wall . I sat there in tears .

I took out my phone and put my head phones in . I played one of my favorite songs by Pierce The Veil , Hold On Till May . I skipped to the part where it said "Darling you'll be okay ."

I sat there with tears coming down my face and just listened to Vic Fuentes' voice say those four words . It calmed me down . I took deep breathes and listened to the rest of the song . When the song was finished , I wiped my eyes and walked out of the girls bathroom .
