This Is Paradise

Beaten in Lips

Vic's P.O.V

We pulled up to the venue to already see fans lining up outside. "I thought the concert wasn't until tomorrow?" Ally asked, looking out at all the fans. "It got bumped up a day to make sure we finish the tour on time since the last three shows got cancelled." Mike said. "So when do you guys go on?" Ally asked a follow up question. "In about two hours." I responded, walking over the Jaime to help him carry some guitars. "You my dear get to watch some side stage." I said, smiling over at Ally. She smiled back at me, and put her phone into her pocket so she could help.

Once we had everything inside the venue, we had to set up for meet and greet. The fans have no idea about Ally and I yet, so it's going to be interesting when they see her. They might not even infer that she's my girlfriend, but I know my fans. They're smart. We all sat down at the long table that was set up right outside the arena. I sat on the far left side, with Jaime next to me. Next to Jaime was Tony and Mike was on the far right end. Ally stood a couple feet behind us, and I could tell she was nervous. "Babe, come here really quick." I said. She slowly made her way over to me, and I pecked her lips. She gave me a look of confusion, and I kissed her again. "I won't be able to do that when the fans are in here." I whispered to her. She smiled and pecked my lips one more time before the double doors slightly opened, letting in some fans.

We took pictures and signed CDs and stuff, like a usual meet and greet. The fans were so sweet and amazing, and I wish I could personally meet all the fans waiting outside.

The last group of fans came in, and they approached the table. Two girls that looked around seventeen made their way to Mike. After they talked to Mike, Tony, and Jaime they smiled over at me. "Who's that?" One asked, looking over at Ally. "That's Alysha." I replied, smiling. "Is she your girlfriend?" The other one asked, with a smile on her face. I nodded my head a little and blushed. Oh god. "She's gorgeous." The other one said. "I know." I whispered over to them. They awed at my response, and I took some pictures with them before they left. "By the end of this concert, you're going to have more fans than me." I said, turning around to Ally. She giggled and rolled her eyes at me. "Most likely." She joked.

I stood up off my chair and walked over to her, wrapping my arms around her waist. "Just promise me I'll always be your number one fan." I said, smiling down at her. "Always." She replied, pecking my lips. Suddenly we heard screaming from out by the line. Then a crash. Ally departed from my arms and ran outside. All of us followed her, high hopes that it wasn't what we thought it was.

Ally froze, her eyes filling with tears. One of our fans was lying on the ground, who I'm guessing was her dad hitting her and screaming. "Whoa, back up!" I yelled, walking over to them. The rest of the boys followed me, prying her dad away from her. Ally ran over to the fan, and hugged her tight as she cried into her chest. "What the fuck is your problem?!" I yelled at him, pushing him back. A security guard grabbed my arms and pulled me back, even though I desperately wanted to rip his face off. "Come on, let him do it." Tony complained, motioning at me. The security guard didn't budge. Jaime and Mike ran to our fans aid with Ally, helping her up.

Another security guard took her dad away, signaling the one holding me that it was okay to let go. I ran over to our fan, and kneeled down, looking at her broken face. "What's your name darling?" I asked. "D-Delilah." She replied, stuttering a little. "Come with us Delilah." I whispered. She followed us into the arena, and we sat her down on the stage.

"I didn't even do a-anything." She cried, wiping some tears away from her face. I looked over at Ally for assistance, I mean she has been through the before. Ally stepped towards the girl, and grabbed her hands in hers. "I'm Alysha, but you can call me Ally. I've been where you are. It's a living hell, I know. But the fucker will get what's coming to him eventually. He probably will tonight. In the wise words of Beartooth, keep living loud and proud. They never can hold you down." Ally finished, looking into Delilah's eyes. Delilah threw her arms around Ally and hugged her close. "Thank you." She whispered.

I smiled at the scene before me. Ally was an angel. The look on Delilah's face when Ally was talking to her, was priceless. Ally helped people. "Delilah, how would you like to watch the show from side stage with Ally." Tony offered, smiling at her. "I would love too." She replied, smiling wide.

Alysha's P.O.V

Delilah and I were rocking out to Sleeping With Sirens set as of right now. We were dancing around and laughing like we've known each other for years. I never asked how old she was, but she looked about sixteen. She was still insanely prettier than me though. I loved her so much.

After Sleeping With Sirens finished their set with Do It Now Remember It Later, they came over to us. "We're gonna speak to Delilah really quick." Kellin said, leading her backstage. Delilah's jaw dropped as she followed Kellin. Oh, today's working out for her. I watched as they dropped the curtain with the Ghost Girl from Collide With The Sky. Ready to rip it away at any moment. "Boo." Vic whispered from behind me. I turned around to see him ready for the concert. "You know, you're never gonna scare me." I replied, giggling. "We'll see about that babe." He said, attaching his lips to mine. "Vic, it's time to get in our places." Jaime said, before running out on stage. "Alright, bye beautiful!" Vic whispered, before pecking my lips and running out on stage.

They opened with Hell Above. Well, technically May These Noises Startle You In Your Sleep, but whatever. Vic glanced over at me, and sent a smile my way. I smiled back before he turned back around to sing again.

I fall in love more and more with him everyday. Seeing him do his thing on stage was hypnotizing. He really loves music, and preforming, and especially the fans. They mean everything to him. When they are hurt, he gets hurt. An example of that was how he almost bashed in Delilah's dad's face tonight.

"How are you all tonight?!" Vic yelled into the microphone. Cheers and screams erupted from the crowd. "We're gonna slow things down and play an acoustic one if that's alright with you guys." Vic continued. The lights dimmed and a single spotlight fell on Vic. He began strumming his guitar and the familiar tune of Im Low On Gas And You Need A Jacket began playing. The crowd swayed to the music and sang along. In the middle of the song, I began singing too.

But last night you said you ended up in Palm Springs dancing on tables. Almost fought some bitch at the club, got kicked out of your hotel and lost your shoes. Well fuck, what am I supposed to be impressed? You're just another set of bones to lay to rest. So I'll so goodnight hope you had a really good time...

Soon after Vic finished, the finished the last of their set. Ending with King For A Day with Kellin. Which I gladly, jammed out too. Vic ran off stage towards me, and tried to hug me. "Ew, you're all sweaty." I complained, stopping him. He chuckled and grabbed my hand, taking me further backstage until we got to the dressing room. He grabbed a thing of baby wipes out of his bag, and quickly wiped himself off. "Now can I have a hug?" He pouted. I rolled my eyes, and walked over to him.

He wrapped his arms around me and looked down at me. "You were amazing." I said, smiling. "You were too. You know, with Delilah and everything." He replied. "I guess, I hope she's okay though." I whispered, biting the inside of my cheek. "They called her grandma to come pick her up about thirty minutes ago. She'll be okay." He assured me, kissing my forehead. "FUENTES GET YOUR SHIT IN THE BUS!" Jaime yelled. He rolled his eyes and grabbed his bag and guitar. I followed him outside and fans were lined up outside the barriers. Hoping to meet the bands on their way out.

Vic waved at them and Jaime peered out from over Vic. Sending them a smile. Tony, and Mike waved at them from the bus' front window. Oh, how I loved these boys. After they said their goodbyes to the fans, we piled back in the bus for a good nights sleep.

Delilah had given me her Twitter, so I'll follow her tomorrow morning and ask her how she's doing. I was sincerely worried about her, considering I know what she's going through. "I'm showering first!" Mike yelled. Suddenly all the boys got up and booked it towards the bathroom. "Ally!" They yelled in unison. I laughed a little and rolled my eyes before making my way over to them. Sometimes, it's not so great being the mature one on this tour.
