I screamed when Melanie presented the backstage pass to me. "HOW?!", I asked but then realized," Wait....why is there only one? Didn't you get one?" Melanie shook her head," They only had one left and I decided to buy it for you because I know how much you love them and you deserve to see them". I started tearing up," Melanie....I-I don't know what to say! Thank you!!! How could I ever repay you?" Melanie pulled me into a hug," You can repay me by having fun today! You deserve to have fun...especially after..." Melanie stops her self. I knew exactly what she was going to say. I never had any fun because of my dad. I would never go out, unless that was to see Melanie or go grocery shopping because my dad would be too drunk to do it. The most fun I would have would be locking myself in my room with Dakota and my razor. Melanie and i just sat in silence for a while until I turned on the car radio. Stressed Out started playing and I couldn't help myself, I started singing along. Melanie was surprised by my singing and waited for me to finish to start bombarding me with compliments. I had to stop her because she was being annoying," Melanie stop I don't deserve those compliments, I'm not that great of a singer..." Melanie gasped," NOT A GOOD SINGER? NOT A GOOD SINGER! Girl! You are a terrific singer that deserves to get up on stage for people to hear you!" I let out a small smile," Thank you Melanie but I could never get up on stage" Melanie rolled her eyes and kept driving.

It was about 6:30 when Melanie and I got to the stadium. "We have thirty minutes till show time want to go get a tshirt or something?", Melanie asked locking her car. To be honest I wanted to find our seats right away and besides I think I have every TØP shirt known to man. "Is alright if I go find our seats? You can go ahead and get a shirt, I'm just really anxious to see if we got good seats or not", I reply. Melanie shook her head," I understand! Go ahead and go to the seats, I'll be about 10 or 15 minutes because there seems to be a line already!" I remembered to grab the pass from Melanie and headed to our seats. I eventually found my way to our seats with about 20 minutes to spare. People started to show up but my area was basically empty. Melanie got us good seats, fifth row. I was bored out of my mind and decided to check Twitter. Josh had posted a picture from backstage and I quickly liked and retweeted it. Melanie finally came back from buying a shirt and the show began. Everyone seemed to scream their lungs out when Josh and Tyler walked out onto stage. I, of course was one of the screamers. After an hour or so of the concert Tyler started singing Holding On To You. I shed a few tears because that was the song that saved me. Yes, Polarize was my first but Holding On To You had more meaning to me. Sadly, it was their last song. When Tyler findings singing he held out his hand formed a gun then a fist and said "Stay Alive". Everyone finished their screaming and started leaving. Melanie said she would wait for me in the car while I went back stage. I thanked her again and basically ran to the back stage. I got to security, showed them my pass and they escorted me to the meeting area. I could barely breath. I was about to meet my heroes. I took deep breathes as I waited for them. There were other girls there but I tunes them out. They didn't even seem like fans of Tyler and Josh. They probably just want attention because they were wearing very slutty clothing. Then they walked in. My face lightened up and I smiled my biggest smile. Yes I probably looked like a small child posing for a picture for their grandparents but I didn't care. Josh noticed me smiling at them and smiled back. The other girls noticed Josh smiling at me and got jealous. They started crowding him along with Tyler. I wanted to do something but I didn't know what to do. Security eventually came and tried to calm down the girls but of course they didn't do much. I started to walk out, knowing there would be no time for me to meet them when I felt a hand on my shoulder, "Hey follow me" I had no time to respond to the voice. The hand graves mine and pulled me to a room. I wanted to scream for security but I was stopped and I let go of the hand to muffle my gasp. I was in a dressing room, with Josh Dun. "Josh?", I ask. Josh smiled," The one and only" I smiled and started crying. "Hey don't cry", Josh embraced me into a hug. And this wasn't a normal hug, it was comforting like we knew each other for a long time. "Why are you crying?" He asked while rubbing my back. "I just so happy. I'm meeting one of my heroes and the other one is somewhere around here. You and Tyler helped me through so much....",I replied. Josh broke the hug to hand me a tissue. "You probably hear this all the time but you saved my life", I said while wiping my tears off my face. "how have we helped you?" Josh with curiosity. I put down the tissue and my purse and rolled my sleeves of my sweatshirt. Josh's eyes widened. "There's more....", I confessed. I rolled down my sweatshirt sleeves and Tyler walked in, "Josh what did I say about bringing fans into our dressing room?!" Josh started to turn red," I'm sorry Tyler. Just the other girls were crowding us and...." He was waiting for my name," oh (Y/N) my name is (Y/N)" Josh continued," And (Y/N) was about to leave when I stopped her and I brought her here". Tyler sighed," okay but you need to stop doing this" Josh nodded," but (Y/N) is different" I was shocked, Josh just stood up for me. "I'm not that different Josh. If I'm causing trouble I can leave", I said grabbing my purse. Tyler stopped me," oh no! You weren't causing trouble! Gosh did I snap? I'm sorry! I just get very tired and mad after long shows and dealing with fans like them. I don't understand why security didn't help me when they were crowding me". "Those security guys suck", Josh added. "I'm going to change the subject because I don't need anymore stress. But Josh you were saying something about (Y/N)", Tyler said. "Oh yeah, (Y/N) are you comfortable with me telling Tyler about...", Josh asked while pointing to my arms. I nodded. Before Tyler walked in I told Josh my whole story. About my dad, why I had the scars. How they saved me. Josh told Tyler my story but in a short summary. Josh knew it was difficult for me to talk about. Tyler nodded and walked over to me. He took my arm and pulled up my sleeve. I looked away from my arm. Tyler let go of my arm and pulled me into a hug and whispered,"it gets better, I promise." I start crying again," thank you Tyler." Josh walks over to us and joins in on the hug," I couldn't help it guys I had to make this a group hug". Tyler, Josh, and I continued talking to each other about everything basically. Then I got a text from Melanie. "Crap", I said out loud. The boys looked at me with confusion. "I forgot my friend was waiting on me. I'm sorry I have to go!", I said not wanting to ever leave. " I'll walk you to her car", Josh insists. "I guess Josh doesn't want to say good-bye", Tyler jokes. I laughed and Josh winks at me. "Well it was nice meeting you Tyler I hope I get to see you again!", I said while pulling him into a good-bye hug. He whispered in my ear," remember what I said; it gets better". I smile," I'll always remember". I start waking out and waved a final goodbye to Tyler. "I'll see you at the tour bus!" Josh yelled to Tyler as he walked out of the dressing room with me. " you know you didn't have to walk with me", I said. Josh shrugged his shoulders," I felt like it and I wanted to tell you that you're story has really touched me". I looked at him," really?" He nodded," yes. You stayed strong. I'm proud of you (Y/N)". I smiled. I will always remember that. Josh and I finally reached the parking lot. Melanie's car was the only car left so it was easy to find her. "I guess this is good-bye?", I said turning to face Josh. "Yeah I guess", Josh said frowning. "Hey don't look sad! You're much more handsome smiling"....crap did I just say that out loud? Josh smiled," so you think I'm handsome?" I replied with," only when you're smiling". "I am smiling," Josh retorted. "Then yes you are handsome", I confessed realizing we were very close to each other. Then a car horn beeped and we both jumped. "Are you two done or what?", Melanie asked while pulling up next to us. I rolled my eyes and Josh let out a small laugh. "Hey can I borrow you're phone?", Josh asked. "Um yeah why?" I ask while pulling out my phone. "For this", Josh said while pulling me closer for a selfie. Josh took a few photos and looked through them. He kept my phone longer that I expected...I guess he really likes his selfies. "Thank you Josh", I said and pulled him in for one final hug.

Melanie and I made it to the hotel around 10pm. Wow, I was talking with Tyler and Josh for a long time. " I'm sorry for keeping you waiting Mel, I didn't keep track of the time" I said while flipping onto my hotel bed. "It's fine (Y/N)! You got to meet your heroes! I would've waited for days if needed", Melanie said while flipping onto her bed as well. I laugh," so I could've stayed longer?!". Melanie laughed at my little joke," I don't know about you but I'm going to bed!" Melanie changed into her pjs and crawled back into her bed. I changed into my pjs but I want ready to go to bed. I sat on my bed and went through my photos from the concert. Then I stumbled upon the pictures Josh took. I smiled while looking at them. Then I got a notification from my reminders. Why the hell do I have a reminder? I never use that app...I check the reminder and it said to check my contacts. Weirdly I looked through my contacts and noticed nothing new. Wait a minute....I saw a new contact labeled Red. Who the hell is Red? I text the number
Who the hell is this?
Wow calm down (Y/N)
How do you know my name...?
You seriously don't know how I am?
If I knew who you were I wouldn't have started the convo with 'who the hell is this'
Good point. Listen just call this number and your question shall be answered
I thought about not calling but I decided to all anyway. I hit the call button and waited for the person to pick up their phone. "Hello?", the voice asked. I dropped my phone,"Josh?"
