One year Later Sydney's pov:

Every breath  you take 

I watch you slip away

You're slowly killing yourself

I won't give in

I was currently watching the guys preform. Ben and I just had our one year anniversary and it was amazing. Ben convinced me to dye my hair back to its original color cause he thought it was "Sexy" so I did.  Things with Ben have been perfect. I've never had a boyfriend that treated me so well. He takes me on dates, pays for dinner, gives me presents, and actually listens to me when I talk.  I love him so much and I can't wait for the rest of our lives. 

"What did you think of the show?" Denis asked while grabbing a towel. "You guys were amazing as always!" I shouted since it was loud backstage because of the fan girls. We watched as Halestorm slowly made their way to the stage to preform. Asking Alexandria was the 2nd of four acts on Slipknots tour. They performed after Falling in Reverse. I loved Halestorm so much and I was beyond ecstatic when Ben told me they were touring with them.  The guys were hanging out with the fans backstage when Lzzy Hale called me onto the stage. I had recently collaborated with her and we wrote Miss the Misery together. I actually perform the vocals on this song and this will be the first time I sing it live. 

"I'd like to invite the lovely Alex Worsnop to the stage to perform our next song!" She shouted. Yes. I got by Alex now. I hated going by Sydney and I'm so glad I broke that 'habit.'

"Hey guys! This is I Miss the Misery" and with that the song began

Ohhh, I miss the misery!

I've been a mess since you stayed,
I've been a wreck since you changed,
Don't let me get in your way,
I miss the lies and the pain,
The fights that keep us awake-ake-ake
I'm tellin you!

I miss the bad things,
The way you hate me,
I miss the screaming,
The way that you blame me!
Miss the phone calls,
When it's your fault,
I miss the late nights,
Don't miss you at all!
I like the kick in the face,
And the things you do to me!
I love the way that it hurts!
I don't miss you, I miss the misery!

I've tried but I just can't take it,
I'd rather fight than just fake it (cause I like it
Rough),
You know that I've had enough,
I dare ya to call my bluff,
Can't take to much of a good thing
I'm tellin you!

I miss the bad things,
The way you hate me,
I miss the screaming,
The way that you blame me!
Miss the phone calls,
When it's your fault,
I miss the late nights,
Don't miss you at all!
I like the kick in the face,
And the things you do to me!
I love the way that it hurts!
I don't miss you, I miss the misery!

Just know that I'll make you hurt,
(I miss the lies and the pain what you did to me)
When you tell me you'll make it worse
(I'd rather fight all night than watch the TV)
I hate that feelin inside
You tell me how hard you'll try
But when we're at our worst
I miss the misery

I miss the bad things,
The way you hate me,
I miss the screaming,
The way that you blame me.

I miss the rough sex,
Leaves me a mess,
I miss the feeling of pains in my chest!
Miss the phone calls,
When it's your fault,
I miss the late nights,
Don't miss you at all!
I like the kick in the face,
And the things you do to me!
I love the way that it hurts!
I don't miss you, I miss the misery!

I don't miss you, I miss the misery!  

I stepped back from the mic and crowd went nuts. I smiled and waved before waling off the stage. I got backstage and Ben tackled me in a hug "YOU WERE SO GREATTT!" He shouted and then kissed me. "Thanks" I sheepishly said. He kept his arm around me the rest of the concert. 

We headed back to Slipknots bus after the concert for the after party. When we got there a cloud of weed and alcohol hit us. The guys looked gleefully at each other. Its been a long time since we had been to a killer party. Sam and Cam go to smoke a joint with some hookers, Denis makes a B-line to the beer fridge, Ben tags along leaving me and James with our old old friend: Whiskey. They guys never let us drink together because it always ended badly.
