Rebel Love Song

Meet And Greet With No Meat

Jaime and I were walking towards the tent they had set up for PTV meet and greet when we bumped into Kayla. I smiled up at her and blushed as she kissed my cheek. Jaime coughed awkwardly and we turned to him with our cheeks burning with embarassment. I grabbed her hand and the three of us went to a food vendor who was selling pizza. Kayla and Jaime both ordered a large pepperoni pizza while I got a small no sauce extra cheese extra mushroom pizza. "What the fuck did you get?" Kayla questioned. "I ordered a pizza like y'all" I said a bit timidly. I hated when people questioned what I ordered or why I did something cause I could feel the judgement and my anxiety would act up. Is she gonna end things cause of my food prefrence? "Cheese and mushroom? That's not a pizza add some lettuce and tomato, you've got a fucking salad." She laughed and Jaime chuckled lightly with her. I suddenly felt sick, I had lost my appetite and felt stupid. Maybe I should've just ordered a cheese pizza and this could've been avoided. Okay Skylar you're overthinking this, stop being an idiot. She's joking around.

But what if she's not? A part of me argued. What if she thinks you're stupid cause you eat weird shit?

"Geez what took so long?" Vic joked as we sat in the lawn chairs behind the tent. "Jaime and Skylar probably cuddled longer than expected" Mike said with a wink. I chuckled along with the others but my anxiety arose, I felt like throwing up. Kayla probably thinks I'm cheating or that I like Jaime. Extending my arm a bit I laced my fingers with her delicate ones and gave a small squeeze. She looked over at me and smiled softly resting our hands on the arm of her chair.

As soon as the meet and greet started the boys stood up and started taking pictures, signing, talking, kissing (on the cheek of course) and reassuring their fans. Towards the end of the greet this one girl stood out. She had bright purple medium lenght hair and a nose piercing, she was tall, pale and curvy. Her hair was perfectly styled into a fringe and she wore a 'I Lost My Heart In The Music' shirt with black shorts. It wasn't her hair, her body, her boobs, or even her face which was beautiful. It was how she and her friend introduced themselves and how they acted. Her friend was shorter by at least six inches, she had dark brown hair braided to the side with a streak of red in it. She looked like a native american hunter or indian. She had freckles across her nose and brown eyes. She wasn't as beautiful as her other friend, no where close in all honesty, but she was captivating somehow. She had this sense of power, silent but definitely there. She looked so fragile but strong, lik she would break any second but rise and rebuild herself 10x stronger.

"Hi how are you guys? Enjoying Warped Tour?" Vic asked. The short one didn't say anything just went around hugging the boys. She hugged Jaime first then Mike, Tony and finally Vic. "I would say I saved the best for last but I hugged Jaime first" I choked on my water and started laughing out loud. "Sorry" I muttered as they all stared at me. "Can we sign anything for you guys?" The tall girl spoke up "Umm yeah" she blushed as she handed them her Wasteland booklet. They chatted for a while since they were the last ones in line. "Umm you get this a lot but thank you guys so much" The short one said, I had learned her name was Alec, and her friend was Emily. Jaime spoke "Don't worry about it, honestly we should thank you. The fans are the reason we're here today, so thank you" He smiled and she blushed deeply with tears in her eyes. Emily rubbed her back and spoke to Vic on the side. I noticed that without her friend Emily, Alec was 3000% shyer. "So Alec how long have you liked PTV?" I asked. "Umm f-for a while. A-almost t-t-three years. I know it's not l-long but I grew up s-secluded" I nodded my head and saw her scratch her arm out of nervousness. I saw small faded white marks on her arm against her carmel tonned skin, same on her upper thigh. Except her thigh didn't have white marks, they had fat pink scars that were thick and puffed up a bit. Shit, she must've cut deeper on her legs than her arms, there was also some fresh ones that were open on her thigh. Without thinking I let go of Kayla's hand and went over to Alec. I hugged her tighly as she stood in shock. I pulled away with tears in my eyes and looked dead straight into hers. "Don't you dare harm yourself again. I don't fucking care how many times you hear this from others but listen to me. You're so fucking beautiful and so is your body. Why the hell would you destroy it? Alec I have no clue what you go through but it can't be any better than what you're doing to yourself. When you see a beautiful flower you keep it and try to preserve it so it last a long time, you cherish it's beauty. You don't rip it to pieces and destroy it till you hardly recognize it anymore. So why do it to yourself?"

She was crying and looking down in shame "You don't understand, there's just too much pain and I-I just" she sniffled and I made her look at me. Her brown eyes were frantic and scared "You're right I don't understand, nor will I try cause there's no way I will ever truly understand what you go through. But harming yourself isn't helpful either, I've dealt with cutting and burning. All it did was leave these ugly marks on my skin that won't go away no matter how much scar cream I use. Can I see your razor?" She looked at me in suprise "I-I don't have it with me" I gave her 'I know look'. She sighed dejectingly and took off her VIP lanyard unclipping it and shaking the plastic card holder over her hand till it fell out. The silver glistened in the sun and I took it from her hand. I fiddled with the metal for a while before pulling out my razor. "Alec I want you and I to go somewhere so we can both dispose of them?" I guided the sobbing girl with my arm to the nearest bathroom. A few kids asked for my signature but I politely declined as my sole attention was on Alec.

After we flushed the razors down the toilet I calmed her down and fixed her makeup. We got to personally know each other (without all the depressing past stuff) and found out we had a lot in common. We both screamed, sang, played guitar and were vegetarians. The only difference was that she played bass guitar as well as acoustic. I only played electric and acoustic, she was a pretty weird person but I absolutely loved her to death already. I've known her for about an hour but damn she was so much like me and I could tell we'd be great friends. We exchanged numbers and discussed the best vegetarian dishes and screaming methods as we walked back to the group. When we got back to the area the tent was taken down. Everyone stared at us like we were aliens and I just smiled while Alec was red. Emily ran to her and hugged her tightly as I smirked; Emily had a little crush. When they pulled away Alec was still red and Emily was smiling, then she frowned. "Alec! I was so worried!! I come back from talking to Vic and then you're gone and-and I-I just thought-." Alec laughed lightly and rubbed Emily's shoulder. "I'm fine Em, really. Skylar here helped me realize a few things about myself. She thinks I have potential in the screaming buisness"

"And who's Skylar?" I raised my hand and she spun towards me with a questioning look and huffed turning back to Alec. "Well I've never heard of her. Plus I tell you all the time you have a great voice!" I wanted to laugh at Emily's jealousy and how obvious it was. Alec laughed and leaned on Emily which she then smirked at me. I walked to Kayla and laced my hands through hers and laughed quietly as her eyes went wide as she blushed. She looked at Alec and gently smiled as I turned my attention to Vic. "So what do we do now?" I asked. He was too busy talking to some girl named Danielle to answer my question, "Now we get tacos!" Jaime exclaimed as Mike threw a drumstick at him. Jaime rubbed his shoulder and flicked him off. I went over to Alec and Emily wondering if they wanted to go meet up with some band members or see some live sets with Kayla and I. "Kayla and I were going to roam did you wanna come with?" Alec went wide eyed and nodded as Emily exclaimed a 'yes!'.

Over the next few hours we saw some of my favourite bands as well as Emily and Alec's. Alec was this tiny 5'1 shy awkward girl but as soon as the music played she was fucking crazy. I swear she will regret headbanging this hard tomorrow when she has whiplash and she can't turn her head. Emily's purple hair flayed everywhere and she was never just standing there, she was always moving and jumping. These girls were insane and it's gonna suck when Warped Tour ends and we part ways. I know Alec had my number but it sucks that we wouldn't get to spend more time with each other. I really hope Alec takes my advice cause we both pinky promised to find different ways of handling our emotions. Sighing I told Emily of the after party and she immeadiately nodded saying she'd grab Alec from the mosh pit. A fucking pixie height girl who was frail was in a Goddamn mosh pit with gross sweaty shirtless men. I rolled my eyes as I saw Emily dragging a pouting Alec but gasped at a bruise forming on her arm and the dried up blood on her nose. Emily chatised and pampered her bestfriend at the same time; scorning her for being dumb but worringly checking for concussion signs asking to let her get checked by the medics. "So you guys wanna hear how I got these? I swear the blood has a funny story behind it!" Alec gave a goofy smile as she started explaining (excitedly) how she got a nosebleed.

A/N so I got Emily and Alec cause this chic inbox me and made the most awkwardest introduction of their characters and jeez it was entertaining. Their description of Emily was beautiful and I can't wait to fully introduce her to you guys in the story! I feel like she's gonna be one of my favorite characters just cause she reminds me of an anime character and I love it. The way (lostinwonderland324) was giving detail to their character was magical and honestly their description of themselves for the character reminded me of Vic and I couldn't not not put these two in. I'm still accepting characters so keep inboxing me!
