***REBECCA'S POV***

We sat at the dinner table that night, an I couldn't wait to tell them. Once we were finished, Val and Autumn got up to clear the table, but I stopped them. "I have something for you guys." I said to their confused faces. I hand them each an envelope.

"You really didn't have to-"

I cut Autumn off. "Yes I did. Now just open it already!" They both tear open their envelopes and pull out VIP tickets to the Pierce The Veil concert.

"Oh my fucking god." Val says, while Autumn's jaw just drops.

"How did you even afford these? You've been saving up for a car." Autumn asks me. Yeah, I have been saving up for a car, but my friends are more important, and I saw how upset they were last time a band was touring and we couldn't get tickets.

"Don't worry about that. Besides, just consider it a really early Christmas gift." I tell them, before being attacked by hugs.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!" They both say before letting me go and going to clear the table. I smile. We're definitely going to have a lot of fun at this concert.

"C'mon, we're almost to the front!" Autumn said, dragging us along behind her. Dang, she can definitely be fast when she wants.

"Slow down Autumn!" Val complains, clearly having the same thoughts as me. I laugh at the two of them, as Autumn slows down and grumbles, "Fine, fine. Ruin all the fun."

We finally make it to the front, an I look at my watch. We still have an hour until they come on, but the starting band should be coming on soon.

"Wow, they were surprisingly really good. I'll have to download some of their songs." Val says. I don't remember the name of the band, I'm too excited for PTV to come on. All of the sudden, Vic runs out, followed by Mike, Jaime, then Tony. Tony the Turtle. I have a crush on him, and Autumn says she ships us. I wish.

"ARE YOU READY?" Vic yells to the crowd. The sounds of screaming can definitely be heard back. Mike counts off, and they begin Million Dollar Houses (The Painter).

The three of us sing along to all the words, and when I glance back up, I see Tony looking this way. But he quickly looks away again, so he was probably looking at someone over this way.

Throughout the concert, I notice he did it quite a bit throughout the concert, and once, during I Don't Care If You're Contagious, he held eye contact. I smiled, and Autumn gently elbowed me and wriggled her eyebrows.

The concert lasted until about midnight, and we then got to go meet them in person. We didn't want to get trampled, so we waited until the end of line.

"Hey Val, did you see?" Autumn asks, smirking. "See what? Oh, do you mean Tony the Turtle staring at Rebecca? Yeah, it was obvious." She said smiling.

Since not that many VIP tickets were sold, the line is kind of short, and before I know it, we're next. Val, being the brave one, walks up to Jaime and asks him to sign her shirt. Autumn goes next, walking up to Jaime with her acoustic guitar to get signed while Val goes to Mike. I notice Val is smiling slightly and Mike is definitely happy while signing her shirt and talking to her. After Mike gives her a hug, Val moves on to Vic while Autumn talks to Mike.

I ask Jaime to sign my acoustic also. "I hope you had fun, uh-"

"Rebecca. My name is Rebecca."

He smiles. "Well then, Rebecca, I hope you had a great time tonight." I smile at him. "I did, thank you."

He gives me a hug and I walk over to Mike. I notice he seems distracted, so I look over to where he keeps staring. Val is standing there, watching him too. When she sees me watching, her face flushes and she looks down. I have to say what I do next. "Somebody's got a crush on one of my best friends." He looks at me, with kind of a surprised look in his eyes before he mumbles, "No, no I don't."

"MmmHmm." I respond as Mike hands me my guitar and I turn to see Autumn getting a hug from Vic. She has a thing for singers, and its clearly written on her bright red face.

I smirk at her as she opens her eyes and they both pull back. She smiles at him one last time before walking over to Tony. I talk to Vic for a couple of minutes and he, same as his younger brother, won't admit anything.

I finally get to walk over to Tony. He doesn't really seem to notice me until I ask, "Will you sign my guitar?"

He looks up at me and his whole face seems to brighten. "Yeah. Yeah, of course." He picks up a permanent marker and writes-in freaking GIANT letters-'Tony the Turtle'.

As I'm about to walk away, he asks, "Wait! What's your name?" I turn, smiling. "Rebecca." He grins. "It fits you. It's perfect."

Something about the way he says it makes my face turn a faint pink. Thank god I don't blush that much. He hugs me, lingering a little long. When we break apart, Val, Autumn, and I walk back to our car and drive home. It's definitely been an interesting day.
