A Wish Upon A Shooting Star

Angel

Alright my lovelies, this is where it starts to get interesting. I hope you enjoy it!

************************************************************************************************

I finished what I was doing and Mrs. Williams made me lemonade and cookies (like I was still "the little girl next door") and paid me $40 for my effort. I protested because I really didn't do that much work, but she forced me to take it anyway. I love her!

I went home and started to get ready, I took my shower and got dressed. Thank god I'm clean!, I mused, thankful the sticky sweat was gone.

I threw on my old Danzig 'Little Whip' tee (My favorite comfy shirt!), my black skinny jeans, and some worn out Chuck Taylor's. I dried and straightened my hair, put on some make-up, a few band bracelets, and waited.

Which wasn't long, because a few seconds later I heard Kat's car horn blaring. I ran out to find Zack and Lori, our other 'partners in crime', sitting in the back. They spend more time sucking face than ever paying attention; seriously, they might as well be invisible. I hop in the front seat and we take off.

The concert was at one of those outdoor amphitheaters, the night was clear and the air surprisingly cool and crisp. At least it's not raining! (I always try to find the good in things, even if I am a cynical ass) We looked around, found us a spot fairly close to the stage, and huddled together.

The concert finally started, we listened to the other bands perform and ALL were amazing; then the last band came on... "BLACK VEIL BRIDES!", the announcer exclaimed. The lead singer ran out screaming into the mike, "HEY MOTHERFUCKERS!", and I giggled at the words. From what I could see they were all kind of cute, but it's kind of hard to get a good look from this spot anyway.

They finished their first song and the stage lights turned off. I can see the shadow of the tall, lanky, lead singer saunter up to the very front of the stage. He props his foot up on the prompter at his feet, lights a cigarette, and grabs the mike stand. A bright spotlight comes on from above and shines down on him, he starts to sing 'Done For You'.

I saw him vividly and froze. Everything seemed to stopped, nothing moved, complete silence except for the soothing sound of his voice. THAT VOICE! It touched me in the core of my soul and I ached.

It's hard to explain, he's mesmerizing and the light flowed down on him in a way that made him look like an angel, wrapped in a halo of white or like Adonis, the Greek god of beauty and desire.

Yeah... he's Adonis! (Hell, he could be the antichrist and I wouldn't give a shit! Whew! does my mind wander, sorry.) The song ends and they roll into the next one.

I'm released from my trance when a fight broke out and everybody started backing up. I got separated from my friends and was getting 'squished' by the crowd. I couldn't breathe, then I was elbowed in the chest by some dickwad that was pushing everyone around like it was a mosh pit.

Everything started to go dark and I went down. I don't know what happened next, but I woke up on the side of the arena with a security guard standing with me. After I catch my breath and get my brains back together, I decide to just wait there for Kat, Zack, and Lori. I was going to text Kat to tell her where I was until I realized my phone had broke when I fell.

The show ended around 2 a.m. and everyone started piling out of the gates. I moved outside the fence and sat on a low wall, near a small tree and waited, scanning the crowd for a familiar face.

I watched and waited until everyone was GONE and fear bagan to set in. I don't know what to do, my phones obliterated, I have no one else to call that would even come get me, and to top it off I've already spent all my money.

First, I was pissed, "WTF! I cant believe them fuckers left me! DAMMIT TO HELL!".
Then, feeling utterly alone, I hung my head down and started to cry; low, quietly with an occasional audible sob.

ANDY'S POV:

The show was fucking awesome tonight! Meeting all the fans was amazing, as usual... this has been a great start to this tour! I was thinking to myself, looking like the Cheshire Cat- high as a kite.

I stepped outside the stage area where the buses are parked and stretched. A lot of the guys are hanging around drinking; trying to unwind a little before they head out for the night.

I'm standing there talking to Ash, C.C., Matt (BFMV), and Danny (AA) while sipping on a cold beer; when every few minutes I hear a whimper nearby. Curiosity getting the better of me, I decide to take a look around.

I break away from the guys and take a little walk, wandering around, looking in no particular place. I stop to light a cigarette and heard it again, Where the fuck is that coming from! I scan the edge of the lot when I think I found it. I saw a faint shadow move, sitting next to a tree, when I heard another whimper.

"Yep... that's it!", I muttered; then I slowly start to walk over.
