Chapter 12: Yes or No

Chapter 12: Yes or No

I got off the stage and was swarmed by a bunch of people. Mainly the people that were playing, some local bands, like Behold Oblivion, Facing My Demons and a few others, and then Asking Alexandria and Black Veil Brides, everyone was commenting and asking questions, it was extremely overwhelming. I looked around for a face that would save me. I saw Ben and Andy trying to make their way through the crowd. I pushed my way over to them. Rachel would have to deal with the crowd now.

“You were absolutely fantastic.” Andy said while fixing my hair.

“See you loved it now didn’t you, love.” Ben was insisting that he was right, and he was it may have been the best experience of my life.

“I will agree it was quite amazing.” I smiled at the two of them.

“You looked fabulous.” Andy said as he ran through all of the pictures he took of me. There were a few of Rachel and Danny, too. I look like I had been doing this for forever.

The crowd went away to leave Rachel. Half of her hair was extremely teased the other side looked as it did before. I giggled and ran over to her. Ashley got there before me.

“Well don’t we look Purdy?” I said smirking.

“Shut it!”

“Demanding, aren’t we.”

“I’m not in the mood.” She scowled at me then looked down. “WHERE THE FUCK IS MY SHOE?!”

I started to laugh when someone tapped my shoulder. I spun around and gasped.

“Selena, you were stunning up there. You were born to be on stage.” Jeremy, the guitarist of Behold Oblivion, said.

“Jeremy! Aren’t you on in like five minutes?” I asked while hugging him. He nodded.

“You guys coming to our show? It would mean the world to have Asking Alexandria AND Black Veil Brides there.” He said, slightly star struck by me hanging out with them.

“We would love to. Anyway someone has to keep an eye on her.” Andy said gesturing towards me then looking at Ben and Danny waiting for their response.

“Why not.” Danny replied.

We headed toward the crowd that had gotten a bit smaller, but still packed. Eric came on stage and people got loud.

“Hey we’re Behold Oblivion and our first song is Witness.” People stage screaming along the lyrics and they were rocking. Andy pulled me aside half way through the set.

“Can you come somewhere with me for a second?” He asked kind of worried.

“Of course” we walk away so we couldn’t hear anything and no one would be able to hear us. “What’s up?”

“I need to establish something. I want to know why you have scars from before today.” He took my hands and looked at me in the eyes. He was melting me. I felt tears start to flood my eyes I was blinking trying to hold them back.

“I can’t talk about this again. I don’t want to remember any of it.” I said as I broke our glance. I fell to the ground and looked at my arms I knew he would be worried, why wouldn’t he be. He cares about his fans, but why would he go out of his way to do this?

“Please I need to know.” He hugged me and started whispering in my ear. “It gives me so much pain to see you in even an ounce of it.”

I knew I wouldn’t be able to tell him without starting to bawl. I turned around, he grabbed my arm and I started to speak. “My almost ex step-father, he abuses me when he is drunk and that’s all the time. My mother is never home, and my actual dad never makes an effort to see me.” I was about to continue when Andy cut me off.
