I will carry all your names and I will carry all your shame.

--Kiva's P.O.V--

I always hated the month of July for two different reasons. One, it was always too hot for my liking. And two, it signaled the fact that school was starting again soon. This year, school was starting on August fourth and I was going into my junior year.

I wasn't very excited about my junior year, but that was only because it was one of the most uneventful grades of high school. Nothing major was connected with junior year; however, I adored seeing Isaac so excited about finally going into his freshman year.

He loved the thought of being considered a high schooler and I could understand why. That was the exact same way I felt before my freshman year. Isaac made me promise that wouldn't baby him if I saw him in the hallway or had a class with him, but I couldn't promise him anything. I was his older sister for crying out loud.

But there was another thing that was making me significantly anxious. Tyler was becoming a senior this year and I despised the thought as much as he did. He had one more year before he graduated which for me meant that I was going to have one more year of torture before I could join him. I was honestly worried that he was going to leave me behind. He could go off to college and have any girl he wanted while I was still stuck here.

I voiced my thoughts to Tyler and he promised that he wouldn't leave me behind because he still had no idea what he wanted to do with his life or what college he wanted to attend. His mom and dad have constantly been harping on him to figure it out, but their nagging wasn't helping him in any way.

Besides, I think we all knew what he wanted to do for the rest of his life; what his true calling was other than basketball. He was destined to do music in some form whether it was producing or being a musician. That was what he meant to do along with Josh. They were both destined for greatness. I was sure of it.

Tonight was Twenty One Pilots last show for the summer and since their first gig at the beginning of the summer, they have gotten significantly bigger. Tyler's mom and I were their biggest support team. We stood outside random places all throughout Columbus and just kept handing out flyers upon flyers for their shows and our work finally paid off.

On July 26th, 2013 Twenty One Pilots, made up of Tyler Joseph and Joshua Dun, sold out Newport Music Hall.

When Tyler found out, he clung to me and cried tears of happiness and I would be lying if I didn't say that I joined in on the tears.

This was a gigantic opportunity for them and I was glad that Tyler got to share what he created with more than twelve people, However, I was informed that tonight was a special gig, not just because it was at Newport Music Hall. Tyler refused to tell me what was so special, but he advised that I should bring Isaac with me to the show.

Isaac was happy I asked him because he desperately wanted to hear Tyler sing and lately, he seemed to take an interest in the drums and Josh was the only person we knew that could possibly teach him how to play. However, I was so glad that my brother was fascinated with something that wouldn't cause him to get expelled.

"When are we supposed to leave?" Isaac asked me, growing impatient as he flopped down on the couch next to Shawn.

Shawn Giles was my brother's best friend in the universe, so I found it necessary to invite him to come see Tyler and Josh perform as well. I knew he would say yes, but what I didn't expect was his mother wanting to come. I was thrilled that everyone close to me wanted to see Twenty One Pilots, but I was surprised that Mrs. Giles actually knew who Tyler was.
