Prologue

"Congratulations to our lucky winners! I hope you all have a good time at Download!" The radio DJ says. I won. I won meet and greets for Black Veil Brides. I'm going to download festival as well, could my life get any better?

"Ivory Plight! Get down her right now!" Shit I think as her majesty, Mrs McGrath yells from down stairs. "Ivory what the hell? What were you thinking? You know you can't go to that stupid festival!"

"Ugh, why not?" I pout.

"Because you're fourteen and I'm not having you drag me to a festival!"

"How did you know I got tickets?"

"I can here the radio from in here! You play your music far too loud."

"Oh my Jinxx, you're not my mother! I can do what I want!"

"I may not be your mother, but I am your legal guardian so what I say goes!" She yells.

"I -" I hesitate for a moment deciding whether or not it was wise to say what I plan to, "-FUCKING hate you!" I finally scream, running upstairs and slamming my bedroom door. The festival is in two days, my prize includes residence at a five star hotel, free food, meet and greet for the black veil brides. The only thing I have to do is figure out how to get there...

Suddenly it clicks! I'll leave tonight, and I'll make my own way there! Without a second thought, I grab my duffel bag from my closet, fill it with clothes, makeup, toiletries, my iPod and headphones and all the money I have been saving up.

I look around at my bedroom, it is covered in BVB and batman posters. The last thing I pick up is a picture of me and my older brother, Jesse, he would have been proud of me for doing this, he was all about rebelling and standing up for what you believe in. And I believe in going to Download festival, so Mrs McGrath can stick her "no" up her big fat arse.

I look out of my window, the night has started to draw in so now is the perfect time to leave. I shove a selection of pillows under my duvet, McGrath knows I sometime skip my meals so she won't bother looking until at least tomorrow afternoon, the pillows are just incase she checks I'm asleep, this should buy me a day or so before the police are on my tail. Lastly I grab the fake ID my brother made for me, knowing full well that I need to be sixteen to get into download alone- this ID has saved my ass more times than I care to remember. I grab my duffel bag and climb out of my window and down the drainpipe. I jump of the pipe and land roughly against the cold hard gravel ground. I get one last glimpse at Sunny-side Home for Girls, possibly the most stupidly named building in history, since it's never sunny and they started taking boys in here five years ago. I run off into the night, my long black hair playing against the bottom of my back, it makes me laugh, the amount of trouble I am undoubtedly going to be in when I get back.

I walk on through the rest of the night, sticking to the main roads and avoiding back lanes when I can help it. Every blue light and siren cause me to run into the shadows, for fear of being taken back to the home.

The first cracks of sunlight show me that it is finally morning, at about three o clock I sat down on a park bench for a rest, and I must have fallen asleep. I quickly check my iPod for the time and see that it is five o'clock, I groan and get up, my neck aching from sleeping on a bench. I continue walking for a couple of hours until it becomes painfully obvious that if I don't eat soon I will collapse and never actually meet my heroes. At about half past eight I walk past a McDonalds, I walk inside and order a breakfast wrap and a seven up. I sit down at a table on my own, slowly picking away at my wrap. Suddenly I hear a plonk, I look up and a girl, around my age, is sitting there smiling.
