Chapter 1 (October 29)

“Mornin Craig!” I said jumping on his back in the kitchen.

“What are you doing Amber?”

                “I don’t know, but I’m very happy, you know why?”

                “Please enlighten me, young one.” He said putting me down.

                “Because, silly tonight you’re playing with Black Veil Brides at your concert!” I said jumping up and down.

                “Oh. Is that why you’re excited? Hmm, I thought you finally grew.”

                “HEY! I don’t appreciate you’re short jokes!”

                “Ok, well the guys will be here soon, so get ready to go.”

                “Ok!” I said and bolted upstairs. I put on my Black Veil Brides shirt and grey skinnies. I straightened my hair and put on black eye liner and black eye shadow, grabbed my Edward Scissorhands hoodie and black knee high converse and ran downstairs.

                “AMBER!” I heard and fell hard onto the ground.

                “Hey, uh, can’t breathe!” I said.

                “Oh, hehe, sorry.” Max said getting up.

                “It’s ok.”

                “Hey Berr guess what?” Monte asked.

                “Huh?”

                “You’re going to sing a song tonight.” He’s always trying to get me to perform with them, but I have horrible stage fright.

                “HA you’re SO funny!” I said sarcastically.

                “You are even if I have to drag you out on stage!” He threatened.

                “If I do will you stop bothering me?”

                “Yes, yes I will.”

                “Ok, fine. I guess I’ll sing World Around Me?”

                “Yay! I love you!” He said hugging me. About an hour later we went to the venue and my brother was calling me on stage.

                “Amber, get your ass out here!” He yelled into the mic, causing the crowd to scream. I walked slowly on stage causing Max to pull me over to Craig. I glared at him while he laughed. The music began and I looked out to the crowd, all eyes were in me and I was freaking out, I ignored it and began singing.

I'm not trying to bring you down

But you're lost in the clouds

I've never been one to complain

But your world around me kills me softly

I don't wanna be demanding

I just wanna know the reasons why

We live and die in a world of lies

Addicted to the way we crash and burn

I gave it all away now it's your turn

Watching me watching you

Don't wanna see the worst in you

So don't let it come true
