"I think you're ready for Warped guys!" Frank claps excitedly as we finish performing our five songs. The boys all cheer, high fiving one another, whilst I just stood, awkwardly smiling. I noticed Romeo looking at me suspiciously, but I knew he would more than likely talk to me later, so I ignored it for now.
"I especially loved hearing World in Flames again. It's a lot different with all the other instruments." Romeo speaks up, finally looking away from me. I smile proudly. "What's the song actually about?"
"For me, this song is about how nobody wants to die alone. In the end, when we find ourselves facing death, I realize the most important things to me aren't money or our materialistic things; it's finding that one person you know would literally walk through flames to die by your side. "World in Flames" is calling that person to me. At the time I wrote it, I thought it was about somebody who I knew, but now it might be about somebody I haven't met yet. It's a broken-heart song." (By the way Maria actually said that^) I said, leaving out the fact the song was originally for him...
"Well it's fantastic, and I'm almost positive everyone at Warped Tour will agree." Frank smiles, like a genuine smile, which from what Romeo has told me, is a rare thing.
"So that means you're letting us go??" Travis asks, nearly jumping out of his seat.
"Yes sir. Now I'd get packing. You leave in a week." Frank then walks out, leaving us frozen for a minute before Romeo speaks up.
"Well... I'll help pack, cause I already knew you guys would be going, so I'm all ready to go." He smiles and motions up the stairs. As if a lightbulb went off in all our heads, we all stood up, shouting and rushing around. I hustled up the stairs to my bedroom. About two weeks ago, the guys and I all bought an apartment. Three bedroom, three bath. I had my own room for obvious reasons, Travis and Beck shared one room whilst Zander and Eli occupied the other one. Each room had its own bathroom connected to it, so really there was no argument.
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Romeo following behind me. Once we entered my room, Romeo swiftly shut the door.
"What's wrong Scar? You didn't seem very excited to find out about Warped..." He asks/says softly, sitting on my bed. I sighed before grabbing my two suitcases out of the top of my closet, setting them next to Romeo on the bed. I stayed quiet for a minute, arguing with myself on wether or not I should tell him. I felt Romeo grab my elbow. "I want us to be close. I understand if you don't want to talk about it, but when you're ready, I'll always listen and never judge you." With that said, he started making his way towards the door.
"Wait! Y-you just have to promise me you'll tell no one." I say, meeting his gaze. He slowly nods before walking back to me. I sit on the bed and take a deep breath. "A year ago..."

"Sccaaarrrr... waakkkeeee upp!!" I slightly wake up to the soothing sound of Zander's voice. Just as I was about to open my eyes, until Travis decides to jump on me and shout;
"SCARLETT WE HAVE WARPED TODAY, GET YOUR SKINNY ASS OUT OF BED" I groan in response, attempting to shove him off of me. He just chuckled and continued to jump.
"I'm up!" I shout, finally opening my eyes. I look up at Travis and noticed he was still in his pajamas. "And you can hush, you're not even dressed yet!" I say jokingly, getting out of my bed and lugged myself into my bathroom.
