Your POV
My name is (Y/N) and I was abused. My mom left when I was only four and my dad has been an alcoholic for as long as I could remember. At first it was likely, he would only drink when I was asleep or away at school. But then it got worse. He started buying more alcohol and drinking more. The more alcohol he drank, the more abusive he became. In my freshman year of high school I started showing up with bruises and scars. The bruises were from my dad and the scars were from my depression. People asked me if I was okay but I pushed them away. Talking only made it worse. They would take me away from my child hood home. Yes my dad was there but I had good memories in that house. And my cat, Dakota, I couldn't leave her. Especially with that maniac who would probably forget to feed her or trample her to death. I dragged on through my years of high school and I only had one true friend. Melanie was my only best friend besides Dakota. She would let me come over to her house when ever dad had an episode, which was all the time. She's the only one that knows about my situation with my dad. People at school think I'm just clumsy and trip all the time. I mean I am clumsy but seriously? Having bruises all over my arms and sometimes on my face seems like I'm just clumsy and nothing else? This is why I hate some people. I say some people because there are two that I love besides Melanie. Josh Dun and Tyler Joseph from Twenty One Pilots have saved my life. When I was in my first year of college I started to self harm even more. I would skip weeks of school because of my depression. I would not eat, thinking I was too fat to be seen by society. I would not sleep, my demons kept me awake. Until one night I stumbled upon them. I had my Pandora on and that's when I heard Polarize. I typed in Twenty One Pilots and feel in love. I started to eat a bit more, I started to sleep again. I still self harmed but not as much. I thought about buying tickets to a concert but I didn't have any one to go with. Before I went to college Melanie brought me terrible news, she had to move out of state. At least I had my Dakota to keep me some company. I graduated from college but with a very crappy diploma because I still had no idea what to be. I want to do something with music but everyone said I would go no where with that. They didn't believe me when I said I could sing and play the piano. I didn't talk to anyone since until I got a call from a special someone.
Ring Ring Ring "Ugh who the hell is calling me at three in the morning?!" I moan as I grab my phone from my nightstand. "Hello?" I say groggily. "(Y/N)? Is that you?" The voice said with curiosity. I reply with a bit of confusion," this is she. Who is this?" There was a gasp on the other line. "OH MY GOD! (Y/N)! IT'S ME, MELANIE", Melanie screamed. I let out a few tears," M-Melanie? Is that really you?" "Yes it's me (Y/N)! I know I'm calling at a bad time but I need to to start packing your bags girl!" She said. "What? Why?" I ask pulling off my covers. "You know that band you loved so much in high school?", Melanie asked. "If you're talking about Twenty One Pilots then yes I know about them and I still love them", I said wondering where she's going with this. "Well....I got tickets to see them and you're coming with me!" She screamed with excitement. I dropped my phone. "(Y/N) is everything alright?" Melanie asked confused by the silence. I carefully pick up my phone," yeah everything is alright Melanie. When did you get tickets? Where will we be staying? How are we going to get the--" Melanie cuts me off," I have everything figured out okay? You don't have to worry about anything! Just be packed and ready to go tomorrow at about 3pm. The concert isn't until 7pm. That will give us time to get to the hotel and get something to eat before the concert. We can talk about it more tomorrow, you need your sleep and time to pack. I'll talk to you later (Y/N)!" "Bye Melanie! Thank you!" I hang up. I'm going to see them. The two boys who saved me. I start packing some of my stuff but then I fall asleep on my floor with Dakota next to me.
--the next day--
I wake up to Ride and Dakota meowing in my ear. I turn off my alarm and get up to feed Dakota. Crap, who's going to take care of Dakota while I'm gone? I guess I could ask my neighbor to take care of her. I text my neighbor to confirm and it's settled, Dakota is taken care of. I set getting ready by putting on a pair of black skinny jeans, my Blurryface album tshirt, black converse, winged eyeliner, red lipstick, and I straighten my (Y/H/C). After I get ready I finish packing my stuff and make sure I have everything. I get a text from Melanie around 2:30.
Are you almost ready?!!!!
Yes I am ready! I'm so excited!
Same! I bet you are going to know all of the songs!
Probably! I might play TØP in the car, so you might get sick of them lol
If they make you happy that's all that matters. I want my best friend to be happy, even if it's listening to the same TØP song 24/7
Awe you're so sweet! Ttyl
Ttyl
I put down my phone and make sure o have everything for the tenth time.
-le time skip-
I hear a car horn beep from outside. "That must be Melanie", I turn to Dakota " be good and don't have any parties while I'm gone" I pet her head one last time and head out of my apartment door. I see Melanie and run up to her,"I've missed you!" She tackles me into a hug," I've missed you too!" We hug and get my stuff into her car. I hop into the passenger seat and we start the drive. During the car ride Melanie and I catch up and obsess over the songs that might be played at the concert. We arrive at the hotel around 4:30 which gives us plenty of time to get food and possibly get to the concert early. After checking in and getting our stuff into the hotel room we head out to get food. " What would you like to eat?" Melanie asks while pulling out of the hotel parking lot. "Ummm...how does Subway sound?" I ask pointing down the round to the Subway sign. "Sounds great!" She replies. Melanie and I order the same thing and we finish our food surprisingly fast. It was 5:15 when we finished. "What should we do now?" I ask throwing away my now empty Monster. "We can go ahead and drive to the concert", Melanie suggests. I nod," that sounds good". As we start our drive to the concert Melanie breaks the silence," (Y/N) I have a surprise for you". I looked at her with confusion. Melanie laughed at my very confused face and pulled out a backstage pass.
