 Chapter 5

We all follow him, why not? He's right, and I don't even know about the surprise he was talking about, but if it's that important to them, we shouldn't just don't do it. I hold CC hand while walking, I can feel his hand shaking, even though he's more scared than me, he just keep walking.

Backstage we can hear the crowd screaming “Black Veil Brides” again and again. The crowd sounds so big, it's amazing, I almost forgot a second why we're all fucking scared. They're picking up their instrument, CC sits down by his drums, they all take a deep breath with me, but before the carpet falls, Andy waves me over to him. I slowly walk over there, he puts an arm around me and says

“Listen, we have agreed to forget about that letter, just tonight, just at this show. For you Music, this is your birthday, and you need to have fun, so don't think about it, and when I call your name, you just walk in”

“What?” I ask confused, not about the first part, but the second one. “why, am I getting on stage?”

“Yes, but now you need to walk over to Sammi until I say your name alright?” he ask.

“Alright I guess” I answer and walk back to Sammi.

The carpet falls, people scream, they start playing Fallen angels.

Sammi puts her arm around my shoulders, I look down, at my dress, I still don't get why I needed to wear one, I mean, I look good, if I have to say it myself, but still. It's black leather with some red fabric hanging out from the bottom. The dress itself is beautiful, but I'm still unsure of why I should wear it today. At least I'm wearing warpaint, but not as much as usual, CC said that I should just have a little amount on, so people could see my beautiful face. But I'm not beautiful, I can't really see it. My arms aren't even covered, but I don't really care, if people have anything to say about my scars, let them talk, I've heard the worst.

Sammi hands me the set list, there's a ring around the last song, it's the morticians daughter, why is there a ring around it. I look up at her, she just smiles.

I look out on the stage again, they don't really seem scared anymore, not even Andy.

While they're playing the next seven songs, I just watch them and the crowd, standing completely still, I'm never really in for going crazy to the music like the fans. I'm more like, just standing and relaxing. I've been listening to these songs live more often than you would ever image, it's not like I'm sick of them, I would never get sick of them. It's just that I know every word, every sound, every little detail about every song, so I'm used to jut stand and watch everything that happens instead of listening to the songs.

“Everyone! I'm sure all of you know how special this show is, it's the biggest show we have ever fucking played, but there's another thing. There's this girl, about a year ago, she went to a Black veil brides concert, it was the best day of her life, she finally got away from all the bullshit in her life, we're still not sure how she got away, but she did, and we're so fucking happy she did. 'Cause when we started playing The legacy, something happened, I don't know if any of you knew this, but sometimes, we can lose focus on stage, and that happened to CC. His drumstick, his drumstick fell out of his hand, and it hit someone in the crowd. It was her, it hit her. This beautiful girl who was having the time of her life, she fell to the ground, which made me stop the show, just to see if she was alright. Well she wasn't, she was hurt badly, so we stopped the rest of the show to help her on the hospital, luckily it was the last song. She woke up after a couple of days, but had forgot everything, the concert, herself, her life, everything. Only CC, she only remembered him. So we took her with us, despite the fact she was very scared of the rest of us. But on the way to out van, she started humming something, it was one of our songs, and that song, is her favorite, because that was the first she remembered. And now, she's here with us today, it's her birthday, and we're going to celebrate it. Everyone, I want to hear you scream for Music!” Andy says.

I was frozen under the whole speech, my story, he told them my story. He waves me over to him again, I slowly walk towards him. I see Ashley put his bass down, Jinxx and Jake does the same, and CC leaves his drums. They all walk over to me.

“Music, do you have anything to say?” Andy ask me and hand me the mike.

“Uhm I” I try saying, them being around me while a crowd of I don't know how many are watching me silently, scares the shit out of me. “I uh, you have no idea how happy this makes me” I urge to get out, but I can feel the tears coming.

“Do you want to sing for us Music?” CC ask smiling.

“I don't think I can” I say.

“Yes you can, your voice is beautiful.” Ashley says.

I look at the crowd, they slowly start chanting my name louder and louder. It's like they really want to hear me sing.

“But I can't do it without music playing, and I don't even know what song I should play, I, I.”

“Don't worry, Jake and I are going to play, you know the song, you just have to sing it.” Jinxx says to calm me.

Him and Jake both find their acoustic guitars and sit down on some little, but tall, chairs. They start playing. I know this melody by heart, it's beautiful, Andy, CC and Ashley just sit on the stage and wait for me to start. I look at the crowd, they're waiting. I start singing.

I open my lungs dear

Slowly, I sing it slowly, every word. I can see all of them, not cheering as usual, they just smile while listening, I even see someone cry, like my voice really is that beautiful. As watching the crowd, I notes one boy, he looks so familiar, he's not wearing warpaint, only a simple line on his cheek, he's holding his hand up, there's a heart on it. Oh god. Holy shit. Oh my fucking god.

It's Danny.
