From CC: Are you ready to go? I'm in my car outside.

From Athena: Yes. Come to the door.

CC looked at the text from Athena and was confused. Go to the door? He shrugged. Maybe no one was home. He stepped out of the car and into the chilly October night. The only sound was the sound of his footsteps, making their way to Athena's front door.

He knocked twice and the door opened. Athena stood in front of him and smiled.

"Hi." He said.

"I want you to meet my dad." She said.

CC's eyes widened. "Uh...A-Are you sure about that? Does he know how old I am?"

"Well, no... but I still want you to meet him. He's nice, I promise. It will only take a second and then we'll go to the concert. Okay?" She flashed him that perfect smile and he just had to agree.

She took him by the hand and led him into the kitchen where her dad was.

"Daddy? This is Christian. You can just call him CC, though." Athena said, still holding onto CC's hand.

Athena's dad eyed him suspiciously before holding out a hand for him to shake. "Nice to meet you, son. I'm Paul."

CC shook his hand. "Nice to meet you, too, sir."

"Now, I want to be clear. If you do [i]anything[/i] to harm my daughter, I will personally cut your balls off."

"Dad!" Athena shouted.

"No, sir, you don't understand. Athena and I aren't-"

Paul held up his hand to cut him off. "Just keep my daughter safe tonight, alright?"

"That I can do." CC assured him.

Athena gave her dad a quick hug before taking CC's hand again and leading him outside.

"You two have fun tonight!" Paul called after them just before the door slammed shut.

"Tonight is all about you and me, promise." CC said as he started the car and drove off down the street.

"OH MY, GOD! It's CC from Black Veil Brides!" An obnoxious, overly obsessed, wannabe scene fan girl shouted causing a crowd of people to surround him and Athena.

The concert was set to start in five minutes and already this night was not just about him and her.

"Can we have your autograph? Please, please, please?" Tons of voices shouted out at him at different times from different directions.

He looked over at Athena with apology written all over his face. She nodded at him to let him know it was okay. She knew how those fans felt. She had felt the same way once before, and still does every time CC is around her.

"Pst. Hey!" A voice said.

Athena looked around and saw these two guys beckoning her to go over to them. She slowly backed away from the huge crowd. She kept her distance but still went over to them.

"What do you want?" Athena asked.

"You wanna come with us for a smoke? Just a quick one." One of the guys said.

Athena looked back at CC briefly. She realized that tonight really wasn't about the two of them anymore.

"Sure, why not." She agreed and followed the two guys outside.

Once outside, the two pulled out bags of weed and some other substance that Athena didn't recognize.

"You ever smoked this stuff before?" The one holding the mysterious substance asked.

Athena shook her head. "I've smoked pot with my boyfriend before but I've never done that before."

"Is your boyfriend here? He can join us."

"No, no... He's not here..." Athena looked down at her shoes.

"So, you wanna try this stuff? Only if you think you can handle it."

Athena looked at the bag he was holding and then up at him. "Hit me up, bitches."

"Okay, Okay, no more autographs. I have to go. It was great to see you guys! BVB army forever!" CC started walking away from the huge crowd of fans to find Athena.

She slipped away from him while he was busy signing autographs and now he had to find her. He did not want to be on Athena's dad's bad side.

He walked outside and heard a familiar, airy laugh. He knew it was Athena. He ran in the direction of the sound. When he turned the corner, he saw Athena standing there with two guys, smoking something that was not cigarettes. It would have been obvious to anyone that Athena was completely shit-faced.

"Athena! There you are! I've been looking all over for you!" CC jogged over to her. "Come on, we have to go home now."

Athena giggled. "Who are yoouu? I wanna stay here. I'm having fun."

"Athena, it's me, CC." CC took her hand.

"Ooohhh! CC! I didn't even recognize you!" Athena began to swing her arms.

"You the boyfriend?" One of the guys asked.

"Yeah... Uh, yeah, that's me." CC said.

"CC, I'm so dizzy. I see pretty patterns in the sky! Look!" Athena pointed to a tree across the street.

"Okay, Athena. I really need to get you out of here." CC said.

Athena's eyes closed and she began to fall backwards into CC's arms.

"Oh, god. She's out. Athena?! Can you hear me? Athena! Please, wake up!" CC held her limp body in his arms. "What did you two do to her?!"

"Hey, man. She said she could handle it. How were we supposed to know?" One of the guys said, holding his hands up in defense.

CC looked back down at Athena's lifeless face. "Athena! Please, Athena! Wake up..."
