Before the set, the guys introduced us to Sleeping with Sirens. They were all cool and we chilled for the five minutes we had before Pierce the Veil went on stage.

"Alright, let's see how we can do this..." Jayne was looking at the set up of the stage while setting up a video camera off to the side of the crowd. There wasn't much space between the barricade and the stage but there was still a little. Jayne would snap pictures from over there and stand with the security while I watched her camera. Off to the side ssomewhere, Belle and Anne had a small merch table while they talked about t-shirt ideas. Belle even brought her tattoo materials.

Jayne was really into it. She got the band from all types of angles and would walk amongst the crowd to snap more pictures. I personally had two interviews planned for tonight: one with Pierce the Veil and another with Sleeping with Sirens.

Right now, the guys were killing it! I've never really had a chance to see them live but they brought so much energy to the songs they played. Behind the camera, I was dancing. I saw Vic shoot me a look and he smiled when he saw my strange camera girl dance. I smiled back and sang along with the fans.

"What's so good about picking up the pieces?

None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole

"Just give her back to me

You know I can't afford the medicine that feeds what I need

So baby what if I can't forget you?

I better learn to live alone"

Finishing up the rest of the song, they said goodnight to their fans and wrapped up the show. They ran off stage and I kept the camera on to film Sleeping with Sirens. I hadn't heard them before, so this would be new. A tap on the shoulder made me spin around and a strange guy was standing in front of me.

"Uhh, may I help you!?" I had to shout over the already loud music and fans and the stranger lifted up his sunglasses a little and I recognized the brown eyes. It was Vic and I laughed when I checked out his get-up. He had a long ass trench cost on, those black shades, a fake mustache, and a beanie with his hair tucked in.

"Did you enjoy the show!?"

"Yeah! Why the disguise!?"

"Because it's not cool to distract the fans while another band is on! That's just rude! I'ma go, this coat is really hot!"

"Okay!" He gave me a kiss and I turned back to get to work, shaking my head at my boyfriend and wondering where he got that disguise.

Once I was done with the interviews, I was on my laptop, listening to them and typing them up. Once I was done with that, I researched a few magazines I could work for. One magazine, Underground Sound, had their headquarters in San Diego and I submitted the interview with the video to them first. I did the same with two other magazines and closed my laptop.

The bus was quiet. This first show was an evening show so it was about eleven at night. No one else was on the bus so I assumed they were doing something important. There was some sudden commotion I heard outside the bus so I walked over to the door and it flew open.

Five grinning faces walked in. Two belonged to Anne and Tony. Two more belonged to Mike and Jayne. One was on Vic, and Belle filed in after them, seeming unhappy.

Where the hell is Jaime?

When I left out the bus, fans were still there and they suddenly got quiet. I grew anxious as one girl spoke.

"Who are you!?"

"I'm, uh, Valerie. I'm Vic's girlfriend." I was bombarded with a few questions, a few insults, and a few compliments. I decided just to walk away because I never learned how to deal with this. They stayed at the bus, and I saw Vic come out with Tony and Mike to talk with fans some more. That left me to go find my best friend.
