As I rush around desperately asking random strangers for a guy named Jim, I accidently collide with a toned body sending us both sprawling to the ground. I lift my face up from the shirtless, toned chest and find myself face to face with someone I know very well.
"O-oh my g-god, I-I am so so-sorry!" I stutter nervously, scooting as far away as I can away from him, afraid that if I'm near him anymore I will hurt him.
"It's ok, don't worry about me... worry about you! Why were you rushing around?" he asks, genuine care and worry in his deep voice.
"I'm looking for a guy named Jim to help the bouncer out front, he needs help," I reply, my voice catching in worry for I know what my father can do if he gets too angry.
"Well lucky you found me hey," another man that I did not notice was there, replies rushing off towards the front of the venue where the other bouncer was outside stopping my father from entering the venue.
The shirtless dude that I crashed into runs off after him and I am once again left alone.
I wander aimlessly until I get to the backstage area and then I enter one of the empty, abandoned rooms that were not in use and I turn the volume up on my phone and start playing Black Veil Brides's song 'In The End.'
As the intro to the song plays, I walk out into the middle of the room, take a deep breath and just let my body flow with the music. I completely let my self go, losing all sense of the world around me and immersing myself in the peace of the moment around me. when I dance, I forget about everyone and everything around me and it is finally peaceful.
I finish up with a strong ending pose at the end of the song, panting at the amount of energy that the dance took out of me. I hear appluase from the doorway and turn around to find Black veil brides standing there smiling in approval and applauding me.
I start to breathe in and out heavily, an anxiety attack starting to come on.
I look around and spot an exit on the other side of the room so I grab my phone and sprint to the exit, hearing the boys start to chase after me.
"Hey wait up!" one of them, shouts their footsteps sounding like they are catching up.
I speed up and spot an exit door and race towards it, throwing the door open as I race through. I hear a thud as someone smacks into it but I just keep running hoping to get away from the embarrassing situation.
I run past a corner of the building and someone slams into me sending us both sprawling to the ground.
'Not again!' I think exasperated, 'This is the second time today!'
I look up as I prepare to run off only to find my best friend that I came here with.
"Alex!" she exclaims, surprised and looking a little relieved.
"Chantelle!" I exclaim in surprise, standing up, brushing myself off and helping her up.
"Alex, we have to get out of here, your dad has hired his 'friends' to help him find you!" she states urgently, grabbing my arm and pulling me back in the direction from which i just came.
But thats not what stops me in my tracks.
Standing at the other end is my dad.
And he is pointing a gun!
At my best friend!
She turns around and the gun goes off!
