AN/// I DECIDED TO REWRITE THIS STORY SO PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK
"Hey man, what's up." Brandon asked as I got onto the tour bus. It had been a while since we released out Limitless EP. We had managed to get a record deal in short matter of time compared to other bands. Crown the Empire had signed to Rise Records. We were all still pretty young. We were on our first US tour with A Skylit Drive. It was crazy how much we had grown in such a short period in time. Tonight we were in San Antonio, our hometown Dallas was tomorrow. Everything was going great. "Nothing much, just thinking."
Soon after I was the only one on the bus. Thank God. I loved my privacy. I was just sulking, it had finally hit me how much I missed home. I missed Dallas. I missed my mom. I missed having a best friend. That's right, I had a best friend. I can remember them but I had tried so hard over the past year to forget them. But whatever, that's in the past.Soon after the 5 of us (Me, Benn, Brent, Brandon, and Hayden) started getting recognized, all the people that doubted us started coming back. None of us were stupid enough to let them in again. But my best friend wasn't like that.
SHOW TIME
"What's up San Antonio !!!" I said into the microphone, the crowd erupted with cheers. "This is one of my favorite cities in Texas ! It's absolutely beautiful !" there were screams as a response. Our first song was Wake Me Up. My throat had been hurting a lot during the set. I don't think I could scream as much anymore. Next we played Johnny Ringo, Breaking Point, Voices, The Glass Elevator (Walls), and Limitless. We ended our set with Lead me out of the Dark. "This will be our last song for tonight and we want to make it special. I wrote this about my 'best friend' a while back. I don't remember them that much anymore but they we're probably fake haha so everyone just relax for this song." I said obviously lying to myself to make myself feel better.
Brandon got out his acoustic guitar. "Ready ?" he asked. I nodded and began singing.
It's not quite a mystery
I'm the one who's insecure
you're the one that makes believe that we're all okay, we're doing fine when we're both fighting just to stay, to stay alive
A fragile set of mine
that I can't quite survive
Without a doubt, I need your help
I know you've heard me ask before but come on girl
I need to tell you now
I know what I've done wrong
The only way out of here
Is the way I've avoided for all my life
There's so many things I wanna say but there's too many things still in the way
I'm lost please help me find my place
You're the only one, please lead me out of the dark
Please lead me out of the dark
Ooooh-Wooooaaaah-Ooooh
Please lead me out of the dark
I'm moving on, I'll promise change if you will let me in again
I swear todaaayyy, I'll be a better man
I'll be who I was theennnn
It's been a long two years, i can't change the past
I've shed so many tears can't believe I've lasted this long
I see now that I'm wrooonnggg
The only way out of hereeee
Is the way I've avoided for all my life
There's so many things I wanna say but there's too many things still in the waaayyy
I'm lost please help me find my place
you're the only one, please lead me out of the daaaarrkk
OOOHHH WOAAHH OOOOHHH
Please lead me out of daarrrkk
Ooooohhhh
"Thank You !" All of the band including me, bowed our heads toward the crowd. After playing that song, I would always fins myself feeling sad. But there was something different about today. I just couldn't place my finger on it. I told the guys I would go for walk. I went outside, and walked to the nearest starbucks. I didn't want coffee, just good wifi. I walked in and sat down at the nearest table. I sat their typing up some little lyrics into my phone. I decided that since I had been sitting there for 1O mins, I should actually buy something. I got in line and was behind a 5ft girl. She had beautiful thick, black, curly hair. She had a little bit of an hourglass figure. A black shirt and dark blue skinny jeans that really complimented her butt which was pretty big and nice and thick thighs. They probably weren't even that thick, maybe it was just because of the illusion her hourglass figure gave her.
"Hello, um I can I get an iced white mocha and a strawberry creme frappucino. Can both of them be a tall?" she asked. Her voice was beautiful...it sounded too beautiful and too familiar. The cashier gave her the price and she handed him the money. "Can I get a name for that please ?" "Monica, Monica Cruz" she stated. My heart dropped. The girl, I had so much history with. The girl, that haf meant so much to me. The girl, that was my ex best friend, was standing right in front of me. It was probably a different Monica. There are a lot of Monica Cruz's out there. Don't freak out, don't freak out Andy is what I kept telling myself.
"Okay it'll be right out," the cashier said. It was turn to go up now but something stopped me, "Oh and can I have your number Monica ?" the cashier guy asked. I'd be lying if I didn't say I wasn't jealous. She just laughed, it was a short 7 second laugh. It was a cute and heavenly laugh, best 7 seconds of my life. She just stepped to the side looking at her phone. I couldn't get a good look at her face since it was down. "Hello sir ! What can I get for you ?" He asked with a smile. "Can I get the vanilla bean frappucino, make it a grande please." I said nervously, hoping Monica wouldn't notice. "And can I get a name for that sir ?" "Andy just Andy." I said with a low voice. "It'll be right out," i handed him the money and walked back to my table.
5 minutes later they called me for my drink and not even a second later they called Monica's. My plan was to get out of there as soon as possible. I grabbed the frappucino on the right and headed toward the door. "Hey wait up !" Monica said. Dang Flabbit ! God please save me. "Uhh yes ?" I asked with my back toward her. "I think you might have accidentally taken my drink," she said with a giggle. Maybe this isn't the Monica I know. I'm probably just being paranoid. "Oh I'm sorry, here you go," I said as I slowly turned around. We switched off drinks and then she finally looked at me. It was then and there that I knew it was her. I think she noticed it was me. "Andy ?!" she asked with a blank face. I took in her features. She didn't wear any make up. Her face was clear. Her eyes brown but had so much to say, they we're absolutely beautiful. Her lips were the perfect shade of pink and were plump. She was so beautiful. But I wasn't prepared for this conversation.
