Can We Escape From This Afterlife? (Synyster Gates fanfic)

9. To the Stage. (AA reference! c: )

We went backstage and I sat on a couch while the boys were getting their hair done, and choosing what to wear. I softly laughed to myself. I never actually realized being a rockstar requires you to be so fashionable and caring about your appearance. It made me giggle. 

"Your friends comin?" Johnny asked me, and pulled me out of my daze.

"Yup. They'll be here any minute." I nodded. When I checked my phone, Tay hadn't texted me back. I looked back up and I noticed Bullet For My Valentine going to the stage. I don't really listen to them, but I recognized them because Tay used to listen to them a lot. I smiled. They were the first to perfrom.

I heard voices in another room and I recognized Olis for sure then Tays and Brooks...and Vic...? I looked around the corner and there they were, walking towards me. Apparently Vic and Mike had made it. Sweet! They started letting people in the venue. I was amazed at how many people were here. Damn. I made my way over to the side stage, making sure I wasn't in the way of the set up crew. People were piling in. At that moment I was so thankful this was a big venue. 

"Hey." I jumped and turned around. It was Tay.

"Hi." I replied, she chuckled at how I jumped. 

"Big crowd?" She asked.

"Haha yeah. It's packed." I said amazed.

"Yeah. Haha, try setting up and trying to ignore them while trying to work." She chuckled and walked off.

"I don't understand how you could stand stuff like that I would end up flipping my shit." I said following her. 

I bumped into someone and fell on my butt. Ouch,

I groaned and looked up. It was Zacky. 

"I am so sorry Makayla! Are you okay!?!?" He was nearly freaking out. I chuckled.

"I'm fine Zack. Just help me up, please." I help my hand out. He pulled me up immediatly. I patted the dirt off my butt. Ugh. My dark jeans I groaned. 

"I'm sorry. Forgive me?" He looked at me with pleading eyes. How could I stay mad at him? I chuckled.

"How could I stay mad at you Zachary." I told him.  He hugged me and ran off with his guitar in hand.   I walked back to where Tay and everyone else was.

I took a seat next to Vic and waiting for A7X's set. The show was just about to start and the first band was about to go on.

The stage manager came rushing inand told BFMV it was their time to get on stage. I smiled thankful that the room wasn't as crowded. 

When they went on, even from the semi-soundproof room I heard the crowd screaming and cheering. 

"So, how was your little 'date'?" Vic smirked at me. I cocked my eye brows at him.

"What date?" I asked completely lost about what he was talking about.

"The one with Syn." He chuckled, still with the smirk plastered on his face. 

"Oh!!! And It wasn't a date! We just had lunch and hung out together." I smiled remembering our conversation. I blushed slightly.

"Oh really? Cause that's totally why you're blushing." He teased. I loved how one of my heroes, that I though I would never meet, was acting like an older brother to me. 

"Shut up!" I playfully punched him when Syn came and sat on the other side of me. 

I glanced over at him and he glanced over at me. I couldn't help but slightly giggle. 

"Are you pumped for the show?" I asked him. He nodded with a smile. I couldn't help but smile as well. His smile is contagious Ugh. Damn him.

Soon enough BFMV set had passed. Tay only sang along with her favorite: Tears Don't Fall. Oli joined her in parts. They were such a cute fucking couple. 

Throughout BFMV set I mostly spoke to Syn and Vic. I don't get how girls cannot go crazy for them, seriously. I counted my blessing for even knowing them, and I'm not even religious. 

After a couple more minutes of the set up crew getting their stuff ready for A7X to go on, the crowd got even more excited. All of our group made out way to the side stage. I was on the side Syn started on. I smiled and I'm pretty sure I could resemble the joke if I had the right make-up on with how big my smile was. When they all came out one by one I couldn't help but scream along with the crowd. When Matt came out and started singing the first song, Scream. I sang along with every word.

Next was Nightmare, Almost Easy, then they slowed it down for 2 songs. Dear God and So Far Away. After that they played Afterlife then finally A Little Piece of Heaven. IT was a perfect setlist from the perfect band. 

I sung along with all of their songs and put my heart into all of them. Every. Single. One.

When they came off stage Syn came up to me, he was drenched in sweat, but I didn't care. I hugged up. I don't know what came over me, but I just hugged him and he hugged me back. We just stood there for what seemed like ever. I never wanted it to end, but I eventually let him go cause of how sweaty he was. 

"What?" He asked me after I let go of him.

I pointed over to the direction the bus was at, he got the reference and looked at me funny. 

"Go shower, or no more hugs for you." I said. I tried my best to look away from his face, I could hear the pout in his voice as he mumbled okay. He started walking off, but before I let him go too far I rushed up to his, not caring if he was sweating or not, and kissed his cheek. 

I could feel myself blushing while I did it, but I didn't care. After I did that I ran off to find Tay and Brook before he could talk to me. I just hope he didn't think I was creepy.

She kissed my cheek....She actually kissed my cheek...

Before I could say anything she ran off. Why? I shrugged my shoulders to myself and headed to the bus to shower so I wasn't sweaty anymore. I wanted more hugs from her. Even though it was the first time I had ever hugged her, it was amazing. She smelt like apples and lavender. I loved it. I wonder why she ran off so fast though.....
