Bulletproof and Vulnerable. An Andy Biersack Love Story (Ftmxboy)

Chapter 5

"How was band practice?" I ask him, staring at his gorgeous face. "It was really good, I hope we can record the new song sometime, I'm really proud of it" he smiles, his arm wrapped around my waist as we laid on his bed. "You looked so cute performing the other day" I blush, snuggling into his chest. He placed his finger under my chin and lifted my head "you looked cuter in the crowd" he smirks.

My eyes are closed, memories racing through my mind as the songs race through my ears.
I'm standing in the que for the concert. I didn't know where to go, so I took the bus straight here. It was this or sitting in a cafe for hours, and this way I'm quite close to the start of the que. There's still a few ahead of me, the really dedicated fans who slept here overnight or have been here since this morning, despite the freezing weather. The line has gone past my point of view, all the way down one Street and on to another. I knew they were big, but I didn't realise just how popular they were. I have a little smile of pride looking at it. I remember when they were playing in little bars and there only payment was free drinks, but they did it anyway, just so they could perform.

It wasn't long until the doors opened and the first people were let inside. I took out my earphones and shoved them in my small bag, that held my tiny amount of possessions I'd taken from moms house. I grabbed my ticket and showed it to the smiley woman at the door. She checked it and handed it back, with a little nod.
This place was huge, and dark. I couldn't even see the signs, so I followed a couple infront of me hoping they were going to the stage. Luckily, they were. I took my place next to the couple in the second row infront of the brightly lit stage. They were hugging and kissing while the whole place filled up with fans. I could feel jealousy brewing inside me, so I concentrated on the stage. The big BVB logo was center stage, a big platform with a big drums set on it. A couple different mics were across the stage, but I knew who would be using the one in the middle. There were employees rushing around the stage, making sure everything was perfect. My heart was pounding as I checked the time on my phone. 7:15. They were due to start at 7:30. I used my phone screen as a mirror to make sure my hair and the small amount of eyeliner I'd shakily put on on the bus were perfect. Every minute felt like an hour as my heart pounded and my nerves grew. But then, right on time, the lights went down.

Andy's POV

My hands are shaking as I apply eyeliner. I try my best to breathe through it, but it doesn't really work.
"Since when are you nervous for stage?" Jinxx asks jokingly, putting his hand on my shoulder reassuringly. "Nah it's not that" I tell him. He raises his eyebrow as if to say "explain?"
"I'm meeting someone after I haven't seen in a long time...I uh... I was a bit of a dick to her last time" I say.
"I'm sure you'll be alright, just pretend you're still on stage!" He reassures me. "What, shout and sing at her?" I laugh. "Hey, whatever works" he laughs back at me while going back to his own table. I fix my hair for a lot longer then normal, trying my best to make it look 'cool' messy.
"5 minutes guys!" A voice shouts from outside our door. I take a last look in the mirror. "It'll have to do" I sigh and walk out the door.

We do our pre-show chants, and before I know it it's time to run out on stage and start singing.
We start playing our first song, Faithless. I could sing this in my sleep, but I'm preoccupied looking for a certain face in the crowd.
I do my usual antics on stage, scanning the crowd everytime I move to a new area. It's so difficult to tell, with the flashing lights, and the hundreds of faces staring back. I go back to the middle of the stage for the start of our second song, Coffin. That's when I see her. In the second row, her hands up, dancing along with the music. She'd obviously changed since I last saw her, she'd grown up, but it was still her. Still as beautiful as ever. If not more.
Jake gives me a little nudge as he walks past, and I realise I've missed my cue to start singing. Geez, she's magnetizing.
