So I Can Feel Alive

Crown Of Thorns

Usually, by the time you get home after a concert, you're so exhausted that you want to just curl up in a ball and sleep for a week, right?
Wrong.
By the time I got home after meeting Black Veil Brides I was just as pumped as I had been just hours earlier when i was getting ready. Not only was I wide awake- I was also fucking starving. I chucked off my heels and put on some suishy bed socks, feeling completely fabulous. As I slid along the shiny floor towards my kitchen I thought back to what I said to Andy. I knew that it could have been hurtful to him, but to be honest, I was proud of myself; I doubt anyone had ever stood up to him before. I know that I didn't get to know him first, blah blah blah, but I could see even from his tweets or his arrogant attitudes in interviews that he wasn't as great as so many braindead fans believed that he was.
After all but ripping the door off the fridge and tearing the cupboard doors off of their hinges, I came to the conclusion that we had no food. I groaned in frustration and grabbed my car keys, not even thinking to slip on any shoes to hide my pink polka dot fluffy socks.
I climbed into my car and switched my music from radio to CD mode, and Crown Of Thorns came on. I smiled to myself and hummed along on the drive to the shop. To be fair, Andy does have an angelic voice, but CC was really the one for me.
Once I'd arrived at the nearest Walmart with $50 in my pocket, I climbed out of the car and hopped into the shop, trying to step on the ground as least as possible. Noticing that I was getting some funny looks, I stopped, flipped them off, and caried on hopping.
I jumped through the automatic doors and grabbed a shopping cart, ready for a junk food shopping spree. I decided that no one was really gonna see me since it was around 2:00 am, so I stood on the bar at the bottom of the cart and pushed myself so I rolled down the aisles. I barely stopped myself to pick stuff up, instead deciding to just grab whatever looked unhealthy as I sped past. It was only when I knocked a box of Froot Loops off the shelf that I decided I'd better stop to pick it up. When I was crouched down on the floor I could feel a presence behind me, waiting to pick spmething up in front of me.
Without turning around, I blushed and quickly apologised. "I'm sorry, I'll be out of your way in a second." I twirled around, still crouching down, and came face to face with both my favourite and least favourite members of Black Veil Brides. Oh joy.
I carefully stood up and placed the box down on the right self, coughing nervously. My eyes flickered to Andy's once I realised he was staring at me. I couldn't help but get lost in his beautiful ice blue eyes. I quickly snapped out of it and realised that his eyebrows were knitted together in confusion. Frowning, I looked down and realised that i was still in my concert outfit and fluffy bed socks and my hair must have been awfully matted from the heat of the venue. I blushed and looked down, suddenly finding the dull white floor the most interesting thing in the world.
"...tired?" it was only then that I realised CC had been talking to me the whole time, and I felt my face burning into an even deeper shade of crimson.
"I'm sorry, what did you say?"
"I said how come you're at walmart at half 2 in the morning? Arent you tired?"
"Oh um, nah I was wide awake when I got home and I couldn't find any food so..." I gestured my head over to the shopping kart full of crap and their eyes widened at the quantity.
"Come to McDonald's with us." Andy casually suggested. I snapped my head up to face him in surprise. Had I not made it clear earlier that I did not like him? His eyes told me that he was calm, but he bit his lip ring as he awaited my answer.
"No."
"No?" His eyebrows lifted in surprise, and I couldn't help but admit to myself that his sculpted features were somewhat angelic, even when he wasn't smiling.
"I'm paying for my shit, going home and becoming obese thank you very much. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to go now. Nice talking to you CC, see you around, yeah?" With that, I smiled politely at CC and strutted off as gracefully as one can whilst wearing fluffy bed socks and pushing a shopping cart full of chocolate and what not.
"You said you're wide awake, so come and eat with us. It won't take long. If you're not gonna come for me, come for CC. You said earlier that he was your favourite, right? He'd probably like to get to know you. Come on."
I stopped and turned to look at CC and I could have sworn that his cheeks tinged an adorable light shade of pink.
"Yeah it would be pretty cool- you know like, if you wanted to?"
I rolled my eyes, but couldn't help the small smile on my face.
"Alright, I'll come for a bit, but only half an hour, I've got to go home sometime."
Andy exhaled deeply like he'd been holding his breath for an hour, and gave me a quick smile and a nod. I could only look at him briefly, then turn to CC as he looped his arm through mine and we were soon off towards the tills.
10 minutes later, I was sitting in an empty McDonald's squished into one small booth with the entire band, who were all silently staring at me.
