The Outlaw & His Keeper

Chapter 1 - The Concert

(A/N) - Before I start writing this I just wanted to say a big thank you to @Lovehorses223 because she came up with the whole Idea and she is helping me write this book as well. Go show her some love!

Christa's POV - 

"Shit!" I whispered to myself as I ran out of my apartment that I shared with my best friend Jenna. Jenna had already left an hour early. I'm a guitar technician while Jenna is a drum technician. So we have met our fair share of rock stars, but tonight Black Veil Brides is playing. That is Mine and Jenna's favorite band. 

I blasted the new Black Veil Brides album Vale, in the car as I drove to the venue. 

When I got inside, they had already let the people with VIP passes in.  

I walked backstage and my eyes widened as I saw Ashley Purdy's 'Outlaw' bass. "Holy Shit" I whisper to myself. I never would have thought that I would get to hold and tune that bass in my life.  

I walked over and set my bag down so I could pick up the white, black, and red marked bass.  

I heard muffled talking and foot steps behind me. "Hey little miss, I assume you are the guitar tech?" I hear Ashley's sweet voice question from behind me making me jump. "Yes I am" I say, surprisingly without stuttering. "Yeah we heard you were running late" Andy chuckles making me turn my head over to the drum set, where Jenna was sitting, giving her an evil look. Jenna smirks and sticks her tongue out at me.

I sit at the little table side stage tuning Ashley's bass first, then Jinxx's guitar, and finally Jake's guitar. I also listen to Jenna tune CC's drums. Then she just messed with them till I was done with the guitars.

Did I mention Ashley Purdy is my rock star crush and CC is Jenna's rock star crush.

"So Christa, how does it feel to have held one of Ashley's bass's?" Jenna mocks as we stand side stage ready to give the guys their guitars and sticks as they run on. "Shut up!" I whine as we watch the guys line up.

Jenna hands CC his sticks as he runs out on stage. We heard a giant scream from the fans as he started drumming to Faithless. I then handed Jinxx his guitar, Then Jake, And finally Ashley. I also got a wink from Ashley.

Jenna must have seen this and she nudged me in the side as we watched Andy run on stage.  

They played -

Faithless 

Coffin 

Wake Up

I Am Bulletproof

Rebel Love Song

When They Call My Name

Heart Of Fire 

Shadows Die

Lost It All

The Legacy 

Wretched And Divine 

Knives And Pens 

And as an encore -

Perfect Weapon 

Fallen Angels 

In The End

All the guys ran off stage and dumped their guitars on me, making Jenna laugh. "Jenn, go shove those drum sticks up your ass!" I blurt out making everyone laugh as I struggle to put the guitars in their cases. 

Ash walks over to me and takes his bass and Jinxx's guitar out of my hands so I can put Jake's guitar in its case. Then he hands me Jinxx's guitar, and finally he gave me his bass. 

"Thank you" I say as I blush. "Cause my ass of a friend couldn't help me!" I said loud enough so Jenna would turn around. But she didn't cause she was to busy flirting with CC. "Am I not good enough for you?!" Ash says in a hurt tone as he swung a sweaty arm around my shoulders, making me blush even harder. 

I roll my eyes at his statement and watched as Jenna looked over her shoulder and wriggled her eyebrows at me. I gave her the 'Shut up or i'll choke you' look, making her burst out in laughter. 

It was easier for her to talk to people cause she was a little social butterfly not a quiet little emo.

- At Home - 

"Hey, I think we should work for warped this year" I state as I scroll through Warpedtour.com "They need a couple more drum and guitar techs" I say looking up at Jenn scrolling through the TV menu. "Sure" she said not looking away from the TV.

I filled out both of our applications and turned them in "Finished" I say with a sigh. "Ok i'm going to bed, goodnight!" Jenn says as she gets up and walks up the stairs. "Ok goodnight" I say with another sad sigh as she walks into her room. 

"God, I just wish Ashley would come cuddle me right now" I whisper to myself as I lean back in my chair.

I eventually fall into a deep sleep, dreaming of Ashley.
