I ended up going to a hotel. As I was checking in I thought I saw Val but I wasn't sure. I think I just miss her too much. I just continue checking into the hotel. I was only staying one night because after that I'm driving off again. I grabbed my bags and went to the lobby first because I hate to check the room number. "309" I said quietly to myself. I looked up from the card then there she was right in front of me......... Val.

"Val?" I question with disbelief. "Yes Aqua its me, I was gonna surprise you but you ended up finding me." She gave a big warming hug. "Why are you here, shouldn't you be home doing homework or something school related?" She looked at me worried. I was still in shock from this. "Where's Matt?" I finally spoke it was really low but I knew she still heard me.
"He's coming up in a few days. You still aren't answering my question. Is there something your not telling me?" She had a little anger in her voice and the way she looked at me, she looked as if she didn't trust me anymore. "I ran away." I said under my breath. "You ran away." I told her about why I decided to runaway, she understood. I can't believe that she's here still.

Am I dreaming? "Well I'm not letting you go back. You'll live with me and Matt." I smiled the thought of being with my best friend and my big brother finally and away from all the pain. We went to my room and I put my things down on the ground and I lied down on my bed. Val told me her room number and if I need anything just go to her room.

The concert was tomorrow so I went to bed right away. I woke up to banging on my door, I opened it and there stood Val and Matt. I gave Matt a big hug. "Hey lil sis." I wanted to stay in his arms. "Matt, I thought you were coming in a few days?" He looked at Val "Well I wanted to see you right away, Val told me everything." I looked down in shame because I was better than this, and the guilt built up inside of me. "I'm sorry" I shed a few tears, a while back I promised him that i would stop cutting. "Aqua it's okay, I'm not mad for you running away." He didn't know but he was bound to find out sooner or later, and I was scared shitless for him to find out that I've started that up again. What if he sends me away to get help? I know I would need it, but I really think I'm better off without "treatment." I looked away from Val and Matt, but I still felt their eyes burning a hole into me.

"Aqua don't forget that the concert is today." Val tried to lighten the mood, giving off a big smile. I smiled because how could I forget that I was seeing Black Veil Brides in like 5 hours. Wow, I woke up late as hell. I was in a rush to get everything I needed and to get ready. "Guys, as much as I wanna stay and chitchat. I have a concert to be at in a little under 5 hours." They nodded and agreed, we made a time when we could meet again. I ran into my room to change my clothes into my planned clothes. I did my make-up simple but dramatic. I still had like 3 hours to kill.

Since a totally forgot to do my hair, I dye parts of my blonde hair blue. Now I'm done rinsing my hair out, I blow dry my hair to quicken the process of doing my hair. I teased it a little and there I was ready, ohh the damage my hair has. I walked out of my room only to fun Val and Matt leaving to go do something. "Oh before I forget I got you these!" Val passed me backstage passes. I was in a state of shock, she really was my best friend. I couldn't thank her enough. I was so excited I could see them in person, and I can meet them backstage. I hopped into my car, eager as ever. I was barely able to put the keys into ignition.
 
I drove to the venue. Once I arrived at the venue, I realized I haven't looked at my phone all day. That was mainly so I could ignore my parents, and feel like I free human. I glanced at my phone before I got out of my car. I had 36 missed calls from my mum and countless numbers of messages from her. I was scared to open any of them. I know all she will do is talk me down and hurt me. I wasn't in the mood to bring myself to that. I'll read those later.

I went to a guard who looked extremely scary, and I showed him my backstage pass, he starting walking and I followed. I was shaking the whole time walking, my heart was beating out of my chest and I was so nervous. It was silent, I felt a little awkward. We then arrived to this dressing room, and he opened the door there stood Jinxx, Andy, CC, Jake, and Ashley. I think I just died a little on the inside. I didn't wanna look too weird but I knew I probably looked weird. I built up the confidence to just walked in like as if I belonged there.

They looked at me and smiled I gave a small smile and waved. "Look we have a shy girl"Jake laughed. I didn't fan girl because they are just humans, but that didn't stop me from being shy. I tried to ease the tension I felt. "No, you just haves got to my wild side yet." I gave a devious smile, and with a wink. "I like her." Ashley said while looking at me.

Since I got bored and I brought myself a monster, I grabbed at and drank it. When it was all gone I started to get a little hyper, this was going to be fun. I ran to where CC was standing and grabbed him by the arm and ran off again. After CC and I had our little play date I burned put my energy I just got from my drink, I shouldn't drink energy drinks because I do get too hyper, and it happens quick. Everyone looked at me with wide eyes. "Told you, you really just need to get me hyper." I smiled at them. They laughed it off. I finally felt welcomed somewhere. It was odd to feel so welcomed in only 30 minutes, but I knew I felt more welcomed in this dressing room than I ever did living at my parents house.

Some guard guy walked in and said "5 more minutes then Black Veil Brides are on." I gave the band a sad look I didn't really want to leave them. They gave me a hug, I got to stand backstage.
*timeskip*
"I didn't get to ask, but are you Aquamarine Sanders?" Jinxx asked. "Yes I am why, how do you know who I am?" He smiled and the rest of the guys just looked at him with a smile and then me. "We know your brother M.Shadows ." I smiled yay someone recognized me from my brother, I know how selfish that sounds of me, but getting recognized by being M.Shadows little sister was the best feeling ever.

"How, but other than that you guys put on a great performance." I tried to draw the attention away from myself. We sat there and talked about random crap. Then my brother and Val walks into the room. They have a habit of showing up randomly everywhere I went. Andy stayed silent, I was saddened by that. I couldn't tell if he was uncomfortable or he was going through something, or he was just tired. "Hey Matt. Hi Val." They smiled and waved at me, "Well Aqua we got to get going." Matt said, oh now I see why they arrived. "What?!." I gave him a sad look. "I'm sorry Aqua, but me and the band are on tour. I know you don't wanna go home, and I don't want you just staying in randoms hotels." I was happy I get to see the guys again but I also didn't want to leave them. I just gave him a happy look so I could hide my pain. To my surprise I exchanged number with Black Veil Brides.

Right after that we left. I sat in my car putting all their numbers into my phone, I let out a big sigh. I love that my brother is having fun living his dreams, I just wished that I could spend more time with him. A couple of tears fell from my eyes. I wiped my eyes dry and started my car and drove off.
