Bliss and joy in your mind

I will keep you safe

My niece was turning 14 that year, and adored Muse. When she found out about Dom, she hated me for it, she had a crush on him and was incredibly jealous. But anyway, since it was her birthday I thought that I would take her to her first ever concert. I knocked on the door to her room, and when I entered, it was plastered with pictures and posters of Muse, specifically, of Dom. It was quite strange. She was wearing her Muse t-shirt and had painted each of her nails on her left hand with a different album cover.

We walked outside, and in the drivers seat of the car was Dom, ready to pick us up. We stepped outside, and when Olivia saw the car window, she practically fainted.

After an hour and a half of intense questioning from Liv to Dom, we finally arrived at the arena, and Dom went off for his 'pre-show rituals' (a.k.a drumming on tables). I told Liv that she could explore backstage, so she tottered off, and I asked Keith the security guard to keep an eye on her. Dom and I were just chilling in the backstage dressing room, when Matt snuck up behind Dom. He leaned in right up close to his ear and yelled 'WANKER!'. I was in absolute hysterics as Dom chased him and practically rammed his drumsticks up Matt's arse.

It was about half an hour until the concert, at the same place as Dom had proposed to me, so I thought it was about time to go and find Liv. I spotted Keith, so I ran up to ask him where she was.

'She asked to borrow 50p for the vending machine, she took a short-cut round the back.' He told me, fixing his earpiece. I told him thankyou and went round the outside door. I saw the back of her head, but there was someone else with her, a familiar face, a grubby old man, about 50 years old. It was him.

'KEITH!' I yelled through the door, as he held up a finger in a 'one minute' sense. I huffed and urged him to come. That was it, I walked up to him and he smirked at me.

'Back for more are we darling?' He chuckled smugly.

'Liv, go and get Keith, now.' I warned. She sprinted away and I looked the smug bastard right in the eyes.

'You ruined my fucking life.' I growelled as he edged closer. He was up to something again, but he was more subtle about it - I knew where this was going. I squared up to him and kneed him in the privates, punching him straight in the face as he bent over. Dom and Keith ran over just then.

'Oi, oi! What's going on here?!' Dom shouted, pulling me away, as I attempted another hit. Keith grabbed the man. I turned around and sunk into Dom's arms sobbing.

'It was him. Who raped me.' I blubbered. He didn't say anything, he just held me in his arms with one hand on my head and one on my back, kissing the top of my head gently. Keith took the man away and I went to wait at the side of the stage as Dom ran on with the rest of the lads. Liv was right at the front of the crowd by the walkdown area. She didn't yet know that she was going to have dinner with the boys and I.

After the one-off concert had ended, Keith allowed Liv through the gate.

'Time to go then I guess.' She sighed, noticing Matt standing in the doorway. Her eyes opened extremely wide, 'That was amazing by the way! Thankyou!' She screeched. Matt chuckled,

'No pwoblem, weally.' We all bundled in the car, I drove so that Liv could sit between Matt and Dom, Chris was next to me, turning round talking to them whilst I had my eyes on the road. When we got to the restaurant, Matt ordered pasta, of course, and Liv decided to copy him.

When the night eventually ended, Chris and Matt headed back to the hotel, but Dom drove Liv back home with me in the back of the car. She hugged Dom so hard I was pretty sure that she ruptured his internal organs, but it was safe to say, I was the best Auntie ever...
