This Love Was Out of Control (Fuenciado)

Congratulations (xxx)

*Vic's POV*

"We better win this shit. I quit my job for this," Tony quickly spat out, making all of us halt our praying to stare at him.

"You did what?!" Jaime wailed at him.

"And the winner is..." A drum roll began, all of us praying to god and hoping that we won. "PIERCE THE VEIL!"

My heart sank. I can't breathe. Am I having a heart attack?! No, that's just me thinking I am because we just fucking won! I've wanted this all my life, and now, I have it. We cheered and ran on stage, jumping up and down and screaming at the top of our lungs. Tony and Jaime were super excited, but Mike and I? Holy fucking shit.

"Congratulations! Here is your check for $100,000 and one of the record lables will assign you to them after the show!" the man said, placing the check in my hand. "Is there anything you guys want to say?"

Of course, there were a million things I wanted to say. But I know that time is scarce and we wanted to run out of here and celebrate. I slowly grasped the microphone in my hand and froze. "Well, guys, there's so much I wanna say. This is my dream. My brother and I have wanted this for months now, and look at us. We did it," I blushed and smiled. Mike put his arm around the back of my neck and he let it hang there, swaying back and forth, just smiling out to the crowd, standing on their feet in silence, letting me commence my mini speech. Jaime and Tony stood right beside us. "It wasn't too long ago when I asked my boyfriend and his best friend to join our band. And it wasn't too long ago when I found out what the word "Pierce the Veil" meant in my Biology class with Mr. Davidson. I could go on and on about what Pierce the Veil means, but I realize that I can't because, well, we're out of time. Thank you all so much for giving us the opportunity to come back and shine a light on this stage!"

Jaime snatched the mic from my hand. "Thank you guys! I love you!" Some girls screamed and cried out to Jaime. "Hey! I see you," he pointed and flashed his amazing smile. They cried a little more and raised their fists in the air, jumping up and down. Damn, these girls were true fan girls. They fan girl hard. I just laughed and saw Mike take the microphone from Jaime's hand.

"It's been our dream for a while. I'd just like to say thanks to the judges for putting us in the Final Five and giving us a second chance. And the audience, holy fuck! You guys put a smile on my ugly face! We came here a couple months ago and we had the misfortune of not making it and backing down from the competition. I'm very joyful of us winning this contest and being signed to a record label. Words don't describe. Thank you!"

"You're beautiful!" some girl shouted in the back. Mike blushed on stage and formed a heart with his hands and showed it to her, but the crowd didn't wanna take it as only for her so everyone put their hands up and Mike swayed his hands from one end of the stage to the other.

"We're Pierce the Veil! Thank you so much!" I shouted through the microphone when I abducted it from Mike.

I can't believe, well erm, actually I can believe that Of Mice and Men didn't make it. Austin told me he doesn't think they'll win because they didn't practice, but they still had the chance to try. And they did, so it wasn't a big loss if they didn't win. I'm so happy for Kellin! My best friend got third place! That's still awesome! Sleeping with Sirens gets $25,000! They worked for it and gave it their all and look where they're at. The Color Morale were the shit. They were just as amazing as any other band. They sang a song called Learned Behavior and it hits me for some reason. Each song that they've sang hits me, it really does.

We walked backstage and saw everyone packing up or just bumming around talking and laughing. I skipped over to Kellin and Jenna, who were smiling at each other. She congratulated him and shook his hand. That's weird. They never really talked that much. I guess being in a band really makes you bond with people you were never friends with. I really wanna do a collaboration with Sleeping with Sirens. We'll see, I don't even know why I'm talking right now. We just won and we haven't been signed yet. I think I'm getting too ahead of myself because I'm excited.
