Michelle smiled to see that their new album, ‘City of Evil’ finally in stores. She picked one up, and read the songlist at the back. Seize The Day, her favorite song from them, was there. She decided to buy it.
When she was at the counter, her phone rang.
“Hello?”
“Hello? Miss Skylar?”
“Yes, speaking. Who is this?”
“This is James Brown, Hellwin’s Executive-”
“-Manager! You’re my boss! Hi.”
“Uh, hi. Listen. Next week, Hellwin’s going to send representatives to Madison Square Garden, for a big ass concert to kick off the band’s Asia Tour.”
“The band? Which band?”
“Which else are we sponsoring? Avenged Sevenfold of course.”
Michelle gasped. But why was he telling her all these?
“And we want to send you. So if you coud stop by the HQ today, we can discuss further.”
Why would SHE, the nobody that worked in just a smalltown music store has been picked as the representative for Hellwin-whatever that is? She doesn’t even like to attend concerts!
Then she figured it out.
Who else likes to show off his power and fame? Who else likes to annoy her in any way that he can?

“Oh I am so jealous of you!”
Michelle stopped packing, looked at her sister in disbelief.
“You’re kidding me. You’re M. Shadows’ fucking girlfriend. He didn’t give you free tickets or something?”
Valerie sat on her sister’s bed, leaning against the headboard.
“He did! I just have to work that day.”
Michelle continued packing. She’d almost forgot to hide her newly bought City of Evil CD and when Valerie wasn’t looking she snuck it into her backpack.
“How long will you be with them?”
“I don’t know. Until the fucking concert ends, then I’m outta there.”
“You’ll be staying in their bus?”
“I hope not. I’m not touring with them. I’m just a representative. Doing some inventory shit I didn’t even know how.”
“It’ll be fun! Their bus is hugee~!”
“Wow, you went there a lot?” Michelle asked sarcastically.
Valerie flushed. Michelle knows she’d been a groupie before, when she first met Matthew.
“Don’t fight with Syn. It’ll distract him.”
Michelle finally done packing. Oh he will be distracted. Michelle promised to herself.

“AVENGED! SEVENFOLD! AVENGED! SEVENFOLD!”
The crowd was cheering. Michelle couldn’t believe her eyes to see so many human beings, being carried on the shoulder, so many hands in the air, so much screaming. It was her first time being in a live concert. Being a fan of British rock bands, she never did attend their concerts. She thought that only streaming them online should be enough. Boy she was wrong.
