What's Behind Her Eyes.

Chapter 2

--------------------------------------Not in Diary Form Anymore--------------------------------------------

On the 10th July 2011 Chloe and Martin approached the train station at 3:00pm to catch their 3:15 train to London. Carrying their bags they stepped onto the platform and waited excitedly for their train. Chloe turned to Martin and whispered “I can’t wait, its going to be so much fun, you’re the best friend ever for giving me this ticket and letting me meet Andy Biersack” Martin laughed and replied “You don’t have to say thanks, I wanted you to come with me”. At spot on 3:15 their train arrived and they were the first ones on. Chloe chose the window seat and Martin had to sit next to the aisle. During their journey they passed many sights including a farm with sheep and cows grazing the fields, they also passed a sweet factory and as they passed it their eyes both lit up and Martin said “Our next adventure can be at that sweet factory”.

A couple of hours later they arrived at London Train Station where they jumped off the train and entered the city which they would see Andy in a few hours later. They decided they would go and find their hotel. On the way to the hotel they passed a colossal amount of shops they had only dreamed about. They turned down Marigold Street and in front of them stood a grotty hotel, the sign read ‘Oxford Hotel, Vacancies’ “I know this place is 2 stars but c’mon even the homeless wouldn’t sleep here” Martin said with a hint of disappointment.

They both stared up at the place in disbelief, but the thought of the concert was the only positive thought stopping them from going home. As they entered the hotel their eyes were both drawn to a poster which was on a corkboard at the side of the door, the hotel was dingy, very small and in the corners of the rooms you could see the cobwebs. There was a smell of animals and another distinct smell which they couldn’t quite make out. Rotting wooden furniture burdened the floor and dirty dishes cluttered the units. This hotel really wasn’t fit for anybody. Back to the corkboard, their eyes were both drawn to a poster which was pinned onto it, it read: ‘Live tonight Black Veil Brides’, they both looked at each other in pure glee as they knew that they were getting backstage tickets and that they were soon to meet him.

Martin said, “I’m going to go and get changed as we only have 3 hours left!” and with that Chloe replied, “Me too, I can’t wait to show you my outfit”. Chloe and Martin headed to room number ‘13’, the room in which they will be staying the night. About half an hour later they were both ready, with Martin wearing shorts, sneakers and a band tee and Chloe looking like a gothic princess in a dress which came above the knees, fishnet tights, knee high converse and a black jacket. Her hair and makeup was perfect, backcombed hair, black eye shadow, mascara and red lipstick, she was a pure picture of beauty. Martin had straightened hair and no makeup on as she didn’t want to wear makeup anymore. They both threw basic things into their bags to take with them; Chloe took her phone, £30 and a bottle of water, not forgetting her ticket to the concert. Martin and Chloe both left the hotel, they didn’t realise they had been so long getting ready as it had turned dark, they knew that this areas reputation wasn’t good and they both stuck close together. As they were walking down an alleyway to get to another street Chloe’s phone began to ring and she instantly answered it, “Hello, yes mum we’re fine, don’t worry were going to the concert now, yes Martin is right with me, no I’m not sure what time we’ll be home tomorrow, ok mum, love you too, bye”, “That was my mu-” “Martin, where are you” Chloe turned around frantically, she was only on the phone for 5 minutes and in that time Martin had gone. Moments later she heard a loud scream, “Arghhhhhhhhh, please don’t, I’ll do anything, please let me go”. Chloe ran around the corner towards the screaming and gasped at the sight before her eyes, tears came to Chloe’s eyes as she just stood and stared at the sight before her in shock. On the floor Martin was laying in a pool of her own blood with several stab wounds, she was already dead. There was nothing Chloe could do and in the moment of shock she didn’t even think to call the police or an ambulance and she just ran away. Running down the cold streets of London in the dark, Chloe had tears falling from her eyes but she was determined to meet Andy still.

Running down the streets of London, in the dark, in the cold night, Chloe was extremely frightened, the life had vanished from behind her eyes. But what’s behind her eyes tonight was determination. She didn’t seem to care that her friend was stabbed to death, she just left her lying there in a pool of blood, what friend would do that. As she approached the next street she could see the stadium where Black Veil Brides were performing that night so she turned the corner down an alleyway but instead she collided with a man in a hoodie. “Ouch, look where you’re going” Chloe yelled. “I’m sorry, I cant let my fans see me, they all want autographs, I don’t have time”. At that moment Chloe’s eyes lit up in joy. “Oh my god, ANDY!!!!!!!!!” He put his hand over her mouth and whispered gently “Sshhh, they cant see me, come with me to my dressing room”
