**Day of Hopless Awakening concert**
I'm shaking so bad. Half an hour before we go on. It's not from fear but from excitemnt, maybe a litle fear. Jake said that if the guys could make it down in time for the concert that they would be here and shit does that make me nerveous. Having to perform in front of some of my biggest inspirations scares the living shit out of me, you have no idea. Where's Shayla?!
"Where did Shayla go?!" I ask everyone around me.
"I'm over here Serenadem, calm down!" She walks over to me and grabs my arms.
"Deep breathes!" She says again. "In one, two, three out one, two, three." I do as she instructs calming down a bit.
"Are we still doing the thing afterwords?" I ask her making her nod.
TIme flies by because the next thing I know I'm hugging Shayla and hearing our bands name being called up on the stage. I take a deep breathe and grab my guitar walking on after Erika. Every fear I had before I came on the stage dissapears. Now I am just smiling. We start playing the guitars for our first song of the night, Devil's Night by Motionless in White.
"I am an enemy of everything
My life is not for sale
My heart is in this fight forever
What can you take from me?
When theres not a single fucking day
I havent fought to stay alive?" JJ starts screaming into the microphone. We head bang along with the beats as the song continues.

"Thank you so much Boise! I Hope to see you again soon! We're Hopless Awakening! Buy our songs on itunes if you'd like to support us!" JJ says into the mic and walks off stage. He never really does anything special for the crowds. If I where him I'd be doig so much more then just thanking and telling them to buy my shit, whatever.
The setlist we played was obviously
Devils Night,
then we played
Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crue,
Second and Sebering by Of Mice & Men,
Bodies by Drowning Pool,
and
Cynical Skin by Get Scared!
We all walk of stage together after I throw my guitar pick into the crowd. We get a shit ton of screams making me smile like crazy. I have such a rush, damn. I grab my acoustic guitar and then grab Shayla, walking back onto the stage getting a glare from JJ. He is the only one who didn't know about this. I walk over to the mic smiling at the screaming kids.
"Hi, my name is Serenade! I play lead guitar for the band that just played, Hopless Awakening. My friend Shayla and I are going to play one more song for you guys. It's called Rebel Love Song by Black Veil Brides." I finsh and let Shayla go to the mic. I chose this song because Erika loves it and when Andy was singing at the BVB concert he looked at me directly in the eye and it kind of sort of felt like he was singing it to me. We are playing an acoustic version of it so it sounds a little different then the original.
I start playing the chords hearning a noise come from the back of the venue. I see 4 boys walk in, seeing the faces of 4 of the boys I met the other day. A smile starts making its way onto my face as Shayla starts singing. God damn her voice is perfect.
"Take your hand in mine, it's ours tonight.
This is a rebel love song
Hearts will sacrafice, it's do or die
