I check my makeup in my bathroom mirror. Good. I check my clothes. Good. Then I check my all black spikey backpack. Inhaler, $100, portable phone charger, earbuds, phone, and my My Chemical Romance lyric tank. I run down the stairs, my mom looks at me. "Got enough black on?", she asks sarcasticly, eyeing my black boots, black high-waisted skinny jeans, black corset tanktop, black hoodie, thick black eyeliner, dark purple and black eyeshadow, heavy black mascara, dark purple lipstick, and my naturally pale skin.

"Mo-om, its what I like!", I whine.

"Let's go", she says.

We get into the car and I turn MCR on. After about ten minutes, my mom asks, "Do we have to listen to My Chem, aren't you going to their concert?"

"Yes, I am, but I have to refresh my memory. Plus, their awesome!", I say excitedly.

"I rememberhow this started, I was on Facebook and MCR posted something, I got sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited. It said, 'We're back together for one last show, in DC, at Nat's Stadium, on August 13, 2014. It starts at 1:00 pm, those of you who get front row VIP seats, will get free dinner. Tickets are $50. Special surprise guest performs too. See you there, Gerard, Mikey, Frank, and Ray' I begged for hours, I finally got the ticket. Front row!!!! VIP!!!! Two days of preparing, and here I am. Headed to the concert. I can't wait!!!!!"

We finally get to the Metro, after like an hour it feels like. We each get a Metro card, and take it all the way to the Stadium stop. We walk down to the entrance of the Stadium, and she says, "Have fun, be safe, meet me here tomorrow when its over. Love you!!"

"I will, love you!!"

I left her, heading to my seat, which is the best there is. It fills up EVERYWHERE!! Fifteen minutes later, a random drummer comes on. We all cheer. Then Frank and Ray. It gets louder. Then Mikey. Louder. And then Gerard. Everyone goes CRAZY!!!!!!!! Gee yells, "How are you all doin tonight!!!! Are you all ready, you Fabulous Killjoys, make some noise!!!!"

Everyone goes CRAZY all over again. I realize that I'm the youngest one here.

I scream out every word to every song. They play their albums in order, stopping between each album to say stuff like "Are ya havin fun yet you muthufuckus?!?" and "I can't here you!!!!!!!!!!"

After the third album, they had an intermission, so people could go get snacks and stuff. They gave everyone in the front row a free meal pass. Including me.
