"Come on, stay back here with us for a while. I'm sure the guys would be okay with it." Jake said as he pulled Faye and Emily behind the table. He signaled the security guard to come over to the table.
"Could you get these two lovely girls a couple of chairs? Thanks Joe." Jake said as the security guard went into one of the back rooms and pulled out two chairs. Jake patted the chair next to him and the girls sat down. As the more fans came by, especially the female ones, Faye and Emily would receive dirty, hateful looks. Faye would see them every once in a while, and it made her not only feel hated, but she felt like she was ruining everyone's life, beginning with her father's. She fought back the tears, and once the meet and greet was over the band took both Faye and Emily to their bus.
"Just ignore them honey. It's all right. You're not doing anything wrong. " Emily said as she noticed the tears fighting to fall down Faye's face.
"They just seem so angry. I don't deserve to sit with Black Veil Brides, and I most definitely don't deserve to go on their bus." Faye said. Emily shook her head.
"And who's to say that they do? You do deserve nice things Faye. Don't say that you don't. You deserve to feel happiness sometimes, buttercup. Today is one of those days that you deserve happiness. So chin up, smile, and don't let their jealousy get to you." Emily said as she patted Faye's head.
"So what are your names?" Andy asked, as he looked back at the two girls.
"Well, I'm Faye and this is Emily." Faye said with a smile. She was finally meeting the one band that she could listen to when she was feeling down. Once they got to the bus, Andy swung the door open. His face showed practical happiness.
“Those are some pretty cool names. I’ve heard Jake mention the name Faye before.” Andy said as he elbowed Jake. Faye’s face flushed with embarrassment, she practically told Jake at the apartments that she liked him.
“TWO EMBARRASSED FACES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE! HIGH FIVE!” Andy screamed as he went to high five Ashley. Jinxx was obviously trying to hold back his laughter, which didn’t happen.
“Shut up, you guys. You’re making Faye look like a blood red apple!” C.C screamed. Faye’s face turned even redder as C.C announced this to the whole band. She quickly grabbed a pillow off one of the bunks and buried her face in it. This caused more outbursts of laughter from the guys.
“It’s okay. Don’t think too much into it when we make fun of you, Faye. It’s cute to see people blush.” Ashley said as he pulled the pillow away from Faye’s face.
“Ashley, need you flirt with our fans?” Jake said, getting defensive. Jake calm yourself down. The guys are going to notice that you have a certain liking towards Faye. Chill. Jake thought to himself. Ashley raised an eyebrow at Jake.
“Is little Jakey-poo feeling protective?” Ashley asked as he walked over to Jake and ruffled his hair.
“No, Faye just looks like she needs to breathe. Stop being a flirt!” Jake said, a little louder than intended. Ashley just laughed as he went to sit on the couch.
“Well, I’m Batman, and I can see when Jake’s had enough.” Andy said as he joined Ashley on the couch.

They chatted for a while and Emily’s phone buzzed to life. It was her parents, calling and wondering when they were coming home.
“It was nice to talk and chill with you guys. Thanks for this time.” Faye said as they started to walk out the door.
“Faye, wait. “ Jake said as he grabbed her arm. He took out a pen and wrote something on her arm. He saw her scars and almost started to cry.
“For whenever you feel lonely.” Jake said as the girls left.
