Seventeen year old Riley Fray was currently in line, and fifteen people away from meeting her favorite band the Black veil brides. She was so excited and so nervous that she hardly could contain herself, butterflies were bouncing of the sides of her stomach and she felt like she was on the very verge of crying. She has been dreaming about this very day for three years and she couldn't believe it finally is happening. This band means the absolute world to her their music has pulled her through so much. Even though she's never met them face to face, from the first time she heard them. Shes felt like their lyrics are meant for her to hear. She knows that probably every single one of their fans feel the same way. But she's never been able to feel like shes belonged anywhere, or felt like she had a place could escape to. And shes never really had anyone she could really rely on. Black veil brides provided those things for her. Especially Andy, shes taken everything he has said over the years in videos and interviews to heart. Weather it was him brutally yelling at some Ignorant person out in the crowd at a concert. Or when he was acting like a moron in an interview. Shes always admired how he's always standing up for what he believes. She wishes she could have a heart that strong like he does.
Riley wasn't in line just to meet her favorite band, but to meet her hero and tell him all that he's helped pull her through. She going to thank him for every single enouraging word he has ever said, and how it has affected her. Also thanking him for giving her a place she felt she belongs to. She wanted to let him know just who he is to her. It all had to be said perfectly, ever since she arrived at the venue she was preparing herself for what she was about to say to him. She still wasn't set on what she wanted to say and wasn't sure how she would get it all out the way she wanted to.
She walked up to the table where the band was sitting the first member she came to was jake. He was smiling and laughing still from the last fan that was up here. Her focus still was on Andy, she wished he would be the first one so she could get it over with. The suspense was literally felt like it was killing her...
"Hey!" Jake said standing up and leaning over the table with his arms out for a hug. Riley stepped forward and wrapped both her arms around jake for a brief second before letting go. " I'm riley" She said awkwardly.
"Hiya Riley! Did you enjoy the show?" He said chuckling at her shyness
"It was awesome even more than I ever dreamed it would be."
"Wait this was your first time seeing us live? " He said with a bit of shock spreading across his face.
She nodded " And my first concert ever." and then set the CD on the table along with the shirt she just bought at the merch table. He signed them both then pasted them to CC who just finished up with the fan before her.
'"Well it was really nice meeting you Kiddo! I"m really glad you enjoyed the show hope to see you again next time were here." He chuckled then stood up for another hug. She Leaned over the table and wrapped her arms around Jake for a brief goodbye hug
"Nice to finally meet you to Jake . " She said with a shy smile before turning to CC. She went down the line to each band member, by the time she got to Andy her head was spinning, her body was shaking and her nerves were through roof. She thought of just chickening out and not even giving Andy the envelope.
As she finished up with Ashley and turned she noticed she was the last one in line. She hadn't thought of it, the hall of the venue was empty all for her and the guys and their tour manager John. It took her a minute to build up as much nerve as she could and turned to face her hero. When she did she was welcomed with a warm crooked smile and a pair of baby blues dead on hers . That is when she lost it, She was crying before she could even catch herself.
She wiped her face and gave him a brief smile before looking down at the ground.
She thought to herself embarrassed she began to dig into her bag trying to find the envelope to give him that held a letter to him, and an old "friend" of hers. She started getting frustrated she couldn't find it and also was becoming more and more irritated with herself.
"Here let me help." Andy chuckled and came around the table but Riley ignored him and continued getting angrier as she searched. Suddenly two strong arms wrap around her, shivers shot down her spine, and butterflies fluttered in her stomach when she realized what he was doing.
Andy was holding her.
"Its okay calm down" He cooed into her hair and almost pulled way. She only pulled herself closer to him and sobbed, he tightened his arms around her and continued to coo. She Felt so helpless and frustrated. She wanted this to go over perfectly and it hadn't, she had lost it even after she told herself she wasn't going to.
"Jesus Andy, Shes already crying? and there hasn't even been names exchanged yet? "Ashley teased and all the other boys laughed."That's the power he has over the ladies gentlemen "
Andy blushed red and flicked him off. That brought a little bit of a smile to her face, she just felt so embarrassed. " Ugh I'm so stupid" she thought
" Your not stupid and don't be embarrassed sweetheart. It's Happens all the time, Although usually fangirl's are crying and squealing and are happy, but with you I gave you one look and you fell apart. " He chuckled
"I'm sorry..." She giggled and reached up to wipe tears out of her eyes pulling and herself out of his embrace. "I'm Riley by the way.. and well I've got something for you, that's what I'm so frustrated over.. I can't find it."
He reached and rested his hand on her tiny shoulder gently, Giving it a light squeeze
" Well nice to meet to you Riley."
He smiled at her then took his hand off the shoulder and held it out for her to shake? Riley reached her hand out and placed it in his, after she did he did the unthinkable. He brought it up to his lips and placed them briefly on the back of her hand before letting it go. which made her cheeks grow even hotter than they were before.
"Now try taking a breath and trying again, I'm in no hurry Kiddo so take your time. " He then gave her one of his crooked smiles that make his eyes sparkle. She nodded once and took a deep breath and then started looking again for the envelope,only to find it in the spot she put it in originally.
"Figures..." she whispered then looked back up at Andy.
"Found it.." She turned back to Andy and stretched her arm out for him to take it. " Uh.. Here" She gulped.
He took it from her and started to open it, Right then her heart started beating really heavily and her anxiety was worst than it ever was. She could feel the heat from the blush in her cheeks get hotter.
