My Vermilion

Chapter 2

The time has come. It's the day of the concert and I couldn't be more ready. I got an early start, waking up at 9. I hopped into the shower then got dressed. I made myself a little breakfast and hurried out the door at 10:15. I arrived at the venue around 10:30. Seeing as how I worked where the show was, I decided to work a little. I punched out at 3 and started to walk around. I saw some merch tables and decided to buy a poster to get signed at the meet and greet. It starts at 4 so I got my poster and followed the signs to the meet and greet area.

When I got there only a few people were in line already so I got a pretty good spot. There wasn't anybody at the table yet but it was only 3:50. I talked to a few people around me. And then I heard shouting. I turned toward the table and I saw him. His mask was on but he was still gorgeous. The few people in front of me went down the line of band members and got things signed and talked a little. Then it was my turn. They were sitting in order by their number starting at 0, Sid Wilson. I handed him my poster and he signed by his picture. He slid the poster down the line. I said some 'hi's and 'hello's and then I was there. I reached him.
"Jenna?" He looked up at me and smiled.
"Corey..." I whispered and ran around the table and hugged him. I buried my face into his chest and he hugged me back. Security was walking over to us to pull me off.
"It's okay, she's a friend," Corey told the guards and they backed off. "I have to go." He said with sadness in his voice.
"I know," I said as I hugged him back. I grabbed my poster and waved bye. I walk back to my car and put my poster inside. I made sure to lock it before going back into the venue. It was 5 and the first band was getting ready to perform. I didn't pay much attention to the other bands as I was mainly going to see him.

I walked over to the side of the stage and flashed the guards my backstage pass. One of the told me where to go. It was different from the rest because mine was a red pass. I'd never been to this section of the arena before. I looked at the signs on the doors and found one that said "Corey Taylor". I knocked on the door and heard a voice from inside.
"It's open," I assumed the voice was Corey's. I slowly opened the door. He turned to me and said, "Jenna, it's been forever." He came up to me and hugged me. "Please have a seat," he motioned toward a couch near the wall.
"You remembered me," I said happily holding back happy tears.
"Of course I do sweetie. How could I forget that smile." Did he just call me sweetie? I blushed a little and looked at the floor meanwhile a tear escapes down my cheek. But not a happy tear.
