Yeah Boy and Doll Face!!

Chapter 10 - Westbound & Down

[Vic's POV]

It was finally Friday. We were in Albuquerque. The dance was after the show.

Jackie and Skylar went to get their dresses and were gonna get ready in the Of Mice & Men bus. Some of the members of the other bands are either going alone or with a lucky fan, old friend, and/or merch girl touring with them. Some bands were invited to the dance as well to provide music, like Blood on the Dance Floor.

Right now, we were just in the venue where we all just performing. All Time Low, Pierce the Veil, and Sleeping With Sirens  just finished, so Of Mice & Men were finishing the show with their song "Westbound & Down."

Daddy said, Daddy said, go out and make me proud.

If only he could see the way you've turned out now.

Go ahead baby and say the words you want from me.

Believe, cause' I'm the one that wrote this song.

If I could turn back time and read your mind,

Besides these dice and cards I'm just another game.

If you could live forever, you'd still wanna be a one night stand.

You can walk on, cause I'm leaving.

Goodbye to you and everything.

Look at the mess of mistakes you've made.

Heroes, yeah, I will remain.

I won't be another notch on bedpost sheets.

You tried to test me and you failed.

"I'll stay the course, I'll stay the course, I'll hold my head up high."

Another misread lullaby.

"I won't be misread again, I won't be here waiting, goodbye to you, goodbye."

You can walk on, cause I'm leaving.

Goodbye to you and everything.

We wrote the book.

You wrote the lies.

So take this forever.

Forth in writing, Oh my God.

Oh. My. God.

So press on now baby, you never seemed so fake.

Just give me something that's real again.

 The crowd cheered and soon the show ended and everyone went to get ready. I take a look at myself in the mirror- a classic tux. "Hmmm. Not too shabby," i said, feeling a bit classy and proud. Hehe.

"I just want this dance to be over!! I cant take it in this monkey suit!!" Jaime whined as he fought with his bow tie, gasping for air.

"Baby," Tony muttered as he combed his hair. Soon, our assistant tour manager, Kelly, came in. She wore a pretty hot pink dress with a black sash across it, a matching glittery mask with a black feather on the side. "Looking sharp, boys. Anyway, here," she said, handing us a couple of masks.

"We're all ready when you are," she said, pulling her mask down over her eyes and walking out.

I look at a black mask that kind of reminded me of Nightwing's from Batman, only it had gold paint splatered a bit on it. Mike's was sort of similar to mine, but it was checkered black and blue. Tony's had a black and silver one and Jaime got a cool golden Renaissance bird mask.

We put on our masks and look at each other. "Unrecognizable," i smirked.

"Yep," Tony said, duting off the shoulders of his suit.

"Let's go guys. We're meeting the girls there," Mike said.

[Jackie's POV]

I look at myself in the mirror. I shift in my white and gold dress that Skylar helped me pic out, my strappy heels, and straightened hair.

Skylar had a dark blue and purple dress and curled her hair a bit. She came up to me.

"The dress aint complete without its accesory," she said and gave me a white mask with gold lace on it, gold outlined its fine eyes and around it. It was beautiful.

"Thanks," i said and put on the mask over my eyes, which had a hint of white eyeshadow.

Skylar and i look at each other and smile.

"You look stunning," she said.

"So do you," i said.

Soon, Austin walks in in a fancy suit and tie, a black mask over his face. "You two look lovely. Ready to go??" he asked.

"Yep," we say and walk out the bus. Austin was my escort and Alan escorted Skylar and we walk to the entrance. Valentino and Phil behind us, along with their tour manager.

We walk into the ball room, and i see so many people in masks. Luck contest winners, backstage crew, merch managers, tour managers, assistants, roadies, and band members.

I grip nervously at Austin's arm. He feels me tense up and pats my shoulder. "Its okay. I've been to alot of parties like this. Let's go find Vic, shall we??" he asked.

I nod and we walk through the crowd. It's gonna be hard looking for Vic here.

"Jackie," a guy next to me asked. He had a sort of bird mask.

"Who are you??" i asked. He takes his mask off a bit and reveals the face that has me feel my face get hot with blush.

"Kellin??" i asked, a smile on my face.
