After getting past the crowd of other screaming fans, we got to the front and past the security guards. I was already amazed by all the people. I remembered that if I wasn't a Fuentes, that would be me. I would be in that crowd of people. I noticed that all of them were smiling as they passed the fans. Their fans make them happy. If it weren't for the fans, they wouldn't be where they are today. It hit me all at once that the band relies on the fans just as much as the fans rely on the band. It was a beautiful thing, and it actually made me smile, too.

Just then, all of Sleeping With Sirens walked onto the stage. I realized that this was actually happening. I was at Warped Tour!

A lot of excitement flooded through me, through everyone. The crowd was really pumped. Even the guys in Pierce the Veil were excited to see their friends perform. "They put on a great show," Mike said.

"If Kellin doesn't stage dive, I'm going to be disappointed," Jaime joked.

Of course, the band sounded amazing live. Just as I knew they would. I lost myself in the music, and everything was okay for a while. That was really the best part about a concert. Being able to let go, without a single worry or negative thought. I sang along, and it was interesting to hear Vic sing the words, too. I still couldn't believe he and Mike were my brothers. How could you go from screaming fan to collected sister in a few days?

As we walked back towards the YouTuber's tent, Johnnie somehow ended up next to me. "You have a great taste in music," he said, eyeing my bracelets. I smiled.

"So do you, obviously," I responded, trying to make him laugh.

"You're actually really cool, Rene." Never thought I'd hear Johnnie Guilbert say those words to me. Hell, I never thought I'd hear Johnnie Guilbert say anything in person! Why am I acting like a fangirl. I need to learn how to keep it cool. Because, apparently, Johnnie thought I already was cool.

"Rene!" Vic called. "You ready to see Attila?"

"Is that even a question?" That made both him and Johnnie laugh. "They're on?"

"They're about to be. Come on, don't want to miss it."

Once again, my blood-brothers somehow found a way to finally make me feel included. Things were really looking up. About time!
