Carapherneila

Hi, I'm Alex. I'm nineteen, and my mother left me and my dad when I was six. Two years ago, my father committed suicide, and that tore me apart. My dad was always there for me and then all of the sudden he got ripped out of my life. After my dad passed I started getting very depressed; then i met the best thing that ever happened to me: my boyfriend Johnnie. We've been together for a year and eight months. Johnnie helps me with my depression, because I still have not fully taken in the fact that my dad is gone.

"Alex," Johnnie called for me. I ran downstairs. Today is my birthday and Johnnie said he has something special for me. "Yeah babe? What do you n-" I was cut off my Johnnie running up and hugging me. "Happy birthday princess," he said kissing me. "Thank you," I said softly grabbing his hand. "So what do you want to do today beautiful?" he said, pecking my cheek. "Well we could go swimming since it's kinda hot outside. Do you want to go swimming?" I asked him. "Princess, this is your day not mine. We are doing whatever you want sunshine," he told me. I began walking upstairs to change into my swimming suit. I heard Johnnie talking to someone on the phone. It sounded like a females voice, he said 'I love you' and hung up the phone. I'm assuming it was his mother. Johnnie wouldn't cheat on me; he loves me.
I walked back into the living room and Johnnie was already in his swimsuit, so I grabbed his hand. We ran outside and I pushed him into the pool, then I jumped in.
We swam for about and hour then he said, "Hey babe you wanna go inside?" "Sure," I answered. We went inside and we went to the room and changed. Johnnie put his pants on and walked over to the dresser. He pulled what looked like a piece of paper out of it, he held it in the air as I looked at him confused. "Whats that?" I asked. He smirked. "What band have you been wanting to see?" he asked. "Johnnie? You did not!" I said excitedly. He just shook his head yes and said, "I love you princess." I was a bit confused at first because there was only one ticket "Johnnie there's only one ticket there. There is two of us," I said confused. "Princess, I'm sorry. I tried my hardest to get my boss to give me the night off but he wouldn't. I'm sorry." I sighed. "Its fine Johnnie. I really just wanted to spend my birthday with you," I said. "I know, princess, but I've got to work. I'm sorry."

I started getting ready for the concert. I straightened my hair and I did my make up. I put Johnnie's Pierce The Veil shirt on then I threw on some black skinny jeans. I walked downstairs and Johnnie was getting ready to leave for work. "I really wish you could come with me tonight," I said. "Babe, I know; I do too but I can't. I'm sorry." He kissed me goodbye and said he loved me. Once Johnnie was gone to work I left to go to the concert.

I got to the concert and it looked sick! Johnnie would've loved it; too bad he has to work. Finally Pierce The Veil came on stage. Everyone started screaming and going wild. They started playing 'Bulls in The Bronx' and I made my way up to the moshpit. I have always wanted to be in the moshpit, but every concert I've gone to has been with Johnnie. He wouldn't let me go because I could get 'hurt'. I was in the moshpit for no longer than fifteen seconds until I slipped. Luckily I was picked right back up by a guy named Calum. He has the most beautiful brown eyes I've ever seen. He was hot, I got butterflies in my tummy when he helped me up. "Hey I'm Calum. Are you alright? I seen you fall in there," he said. "I-I um yeah, I-Im fine thank you," I stuttered out. "You're really beautiful" he suddenly said. "Thanks, I'm Alex by the way." "Well nice to meet you, Alex."
Calum is perfect. He is so nice to me. He even put me up on his shoulders so I could see the band better. When we moshed he stayed close to me and he would pick me right back up when I would fall. They played 'Carapherneila' which is my favorite Pierce The Veil song, and Calum held me close and started singing it into my ear softly. He has such a beautiful voice. When he finished singing to me he turned me around and kissed me out of no where and I kissed him back, no matter how wrong it seems. I really want to get to know Calum better. I've only known him for maybe an hour and a half but he is amazing. I've never met anyone like him. When the concert was over Calum bought me a shirt and a choker, then he asked me for my number. I was more than happy to give it to him. He asked me to go eat with him and I said yes, because I really want to get to know him better. After we ate he walked me out to my car then he gave me a hug and I left. Johnnie should be off work by now; it's almost midnight. I cant wait to go home and tell him all about it, except the Calum part. Johnnie would be crushed if he knew.

I got home and Johnnie wasn't there. I tried calling his cell, but it took me straight to voicemail. He always keeps his phone on even when he's at work. Maybe it's just dead. I walked into Johnnie and I's room and I went to put one of Johnnie's shirts on, and all that was left in the closet was his Sleeping With Sirens shirt and his Falling In Reverse shirt; no pants, just the two shirts. I looked in his dresser and there was nothing. I looked in the jewelry box and everything was there, including all of his piercing stuff. I tried calling his cell again and it rang three times and went straight to voicemail. I decided to worry about this tomorrow. Hopefully Johnnie will be home in the morning to explain.

The next morning when I woke up Johnnie still wasn't home. I called him again; straight to voice mail. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. He couldn't have just left, just like that with out even saying a word to me.
