Her green eyes locked with his brown ones. Butterflies hit his stomach when he watched her push her auburn locks out of her eyes. A shock went through her whole body when he smiled at her. Her legs grew weak underneath her and she put her hands on the rail separating them to keep herself up.

"Yeah, uh, that's for you." She managed, looking down at the ground.

"Wow, thanks. Not many fans actually write me letters."

Athena nodded and gripped the bar tighter. CC looked at her arms and saw the scars.

"Hey, look at me." He said.

She looked up at his face and saw the look of disappointment in his eyes. "You have beautiful eyes." He said. "Come here." He motioned for her to come around to the other side of the barrier.

He opened his arms for her and she cuddled up next to him. He wrapped his arms around her in a hug.

"Promise me you won't cut anymore, okay?" He felt her nod against his chest. "And thanks for the letter. I'll read it tonight."

She looked up at him and smiled.

"Athena! Come on, we're going to miss Falling In Reverse!" Lacey shouted.

"Thanks." Athena smiled and hurried off to join Max and Lacey.

CC watched her walk away.

CC sat on the bus in his bunk that night reading Athena's letter. It was the only one he got that day.

CC:
I wanted to write you a letter because, well, I know that you probably don't get them often. Out of all the members of the band, you have been the one that spoke to me the most. Before I found the band, I was a wreck. My mother left us for another man and I never really see her anymore. The kids at school make fun of me a lot. I started cutting, attempted suicide, and all this shit. Well, then I found you guys. Your music has saved my life. You have saved my life. You're just so funny and you seem so carefree. You always make me laugh. You can always make me truly smile; something I don't do anymore. Thank you for just being you. I wrote and re-wrote this one letter over six times because I just wanted to make sure it was perfect just for you.

She had also added in her twitter in the hopes that he may let her know what he thought. He couldn't stop thinking of her green eyes and how her auburn hair fell perfectly around her face. He looked her up on twitter and found she was only sixteen years old.

"This isn't right. I can't have feelings for a fan. Let alone an underage fan. God, CC. What's wrong with you?" He muttered to himself.

"Hey, CC? What's wrong?" Jinxx sat down next to him.

Jinxx could always tell when any of the guys were having a tough time with something.

"Hey, Jinxx. I don't know. I met this fan today and she was... gorgeous to say the least."

"Well, that's great, dude. Did you get her number and all?"

"No, Jinxx. That's the problem, see, she's sixteen..."

"Oh..."

"Yeah. I'm fucked. I can't stop thinking about her. But, dating her would be like rape or something."

"I'm sure you'll forget about her as tour goes on. We still have a lot of summer left. You'll meet a new girl that isn't sixteen. Don't worry." Jinxx patted him on the back and stood up to walk back to the living room.

CC sighed and flopped back onto his bed. He picked up his phone and began to type:

Dear Athena...

****

"Athena, wake up. You're home now." Max gently shook her awake.

"Hmm?" Athena slowly sat up. "Max, carry me..." She whined.

Max sighed and got out of the car to walk around to the other side and pick Athena up. He carried her into the house and laid her down on the bed. She curled up on her side and started to drift back to sleep.

"Will you be okay on your own tonight?" Max's voice was barely audible to her sleepy mind.

"Mhm." She nodded.

"Okay. I'll see you later. Goodnight, lovey." Max kissed her forehead and headed back out to his car.

Athena started to drift off to dream world.

She looked around the empty room and the only two people there were her and CC.
