It's been two years since I moved to Texas, and everything was so different. I started college, and found a job at a Spencer's out here. I was now living on my own. My mom has been doing good, she found someone new.

She was now married, and I was about to be a big sister again. I was happy for her, she went to rehab for a year, and then met a guy name Roger at her classes. They hit off, I remember when I first met him. He reminded me so much of my father. I really liked him a lot, and so did my siblings. I had just got off work, and I was on my way to visit my mom, but first I stopped home to take a shower. I had just got inside the house when my phone started to ring, I looked down and saw Vic's name. I picked it up "hey" I said, and all I could feel was my heart beating fast. "Hey amber" he said, and I couldn't help, but smile at the sound of his voice. "How have you been." Me and Vic haven't talked for over 4 months. He would text me from time to time. "I've been good, just busy with school, and work, I've also been helping Cara move to her new apartment" he said all happy, as my heart broke. Cara was Vic's new girlfriend. They been together a little over a year now, that's one reason we haven't been talking. "Oh that's fun" I said as I wanted to cry, instead I held back my tears. "Well I'm got to go, I'll call you later or something." I said hanging up, before he could say anything.

I went and grabbed some clothes out of my dresser, I grabbed my escape the fate T-shirt, and a pair of shorts. I was just about to get in the shower, when my phone vibrated, letting me know I had a text message. I looked to see who it was from. It was from Vic, I didn't want to see what it said, so I deleted it. I took a shower, got dressed and went to my mothers house.

I was on the plane to go see my Best friend Matt in Florida. I was going to be there for a couple weeks. I couldn't wait to see him, and catch up. I haven't seen him since we graduated. I was sitting in the plane with my head phones in listening to music, when all of a sudden a song came on that I haven't heard in years. The song me a Vic used to sing together. Our song. I haven't talked to Vic for over 6 years now. Last time I talked to him, he was still dating Cara, and told me he was happy with her, and it broke my heart. So I decided to let him go. A year later I started dating a boy name Carlos, we went to school together, and we both worked at Spencer's. We dated for about 4 years, he proposed to me, and I said yes. I was really in love with him, even though I still thought about Vic from time to time. One day I was with one of my friends, at the mall. We were there to shop for something for my new baby sister Lizzy 1st birthday. We were inside a store, when all of a sudden I look up to see Carlos walking with another girl hand in hand. "Look, look at the fucker" I said through clenched teeth to my friend Emily. I walked, out the store, and started walking up to him. They were just about to kiss, when I pushed Carlos. "How the fuck could you?" I said looking at him on the floor. Everyone around us was staring at us.

"Who are you?" The girl said just staring at me, wide eye, you could tell she was scared. "Who am I? Who am I Carlos?" I said looking at him, as I started to take the ring off my finger. "Oh what cat got your tongue? I'm his, well was his fiancé." I said looking at the girl, and then at him. Then I just walked away. I never saw or heard from him again. He never showed up at school, and I guess he quitted work too. At first I didn't let it get to me. Then at night, when I was trying to sleep, all I could think about was him. Sometimes I would even think about Vic. Wondering what he's doing? Wondering if he's thinking about me too. I would hold the necklace he gave me in my hand, and just remember the good times I had with him. Wishing I could go back to that. I missed Vic so much!

Just then I jolted awake by someone, then I realized I was still on the plane, I must have fallen asleep. I took out my head phones. "Ma'am the plane has landed" the lady said to me, as I got up and grabbed my bags. I walked off the plane, and down the hall. Finally I came outside looking around for Matt, at first I didn't see him. Then I look next to me, to see this tall guys staring at me. "Hi there, Fart face" is all he said, as I jumped on him giving him a hug. "Oh gosh poopy head, you got tall. I've missed you so much Matty." I said letting him go. As he grabbed the bags out of my hand. I followed him to his car, and got in.

Soon we were at the hotel I was staying in. He took my bags inside. "Are you hungry? Cause I wanna take you out to eat, and then I got a surprise for you" he said looking at me. "Sure I could use something to eat, and what is your surprise?" I said looking at him "I can't really say, but I'll let you know it's a concert" as he said that my eyes widen. "OMGEEE who is performing?" I said excitedly. "Secret" he said. I keep asking for him to tell me, but he didn't. We went out to eat, and then he dropped me back off at my hotel, to get ready. He said I had to be ready by 8:30. It was now 6:05. So I took a shower, and then decided what to wear. Then I called my mom, and let her know I got here safe. Then I heard a knock on my door, and looked at the time it was 8:35. I knew it was Matt. I opened the door, and he looked at me smiling. "Ready Bambi?" He said as he got in his car, I got into the passenger seat. "Ready!" I said excitedly. As we pull up to were the concert was suppose to be. All I saw on the sign were three bands. Sleeping with sirens, pierce the veil & all time low. I only knew two of them. I never heard of Pierce the veil. So this was going to be new. I was excited. I walked inside and we were the first ones there, so we had front row, which made me even more happy. I couldn't wait for the show to start.
