"Owww," Alicia yelped as she stubbed her toe. She heard the sound of muffled laughter, so she turned to see who it was.

"How gentlememly of you to laugh at me," she said annoyed and both amused. The man walked out from behind the store shelf.

"Sorry," he said rubbing the back of his neck. Alicia was a bit taken back by his morbid appearance.

"Uhhhh... wow."

He chuckled at her reaction," Yeah, my band gets that a lot."

"Sorry," she said smiling down at the ground sheepishly.

"No it's fine," he replied. An awkward silence fell across them.

"You said band?"

"Yeah," he said smiling at her curioustiy," Black Veil Brides."

"Cool name. Rock?"

"Yeah," He replied, "I'm the Bass player."

"Alicia," She said holding out her hand.

"Ashley," he replied smiling and winking.

"ASHLEY!" A loud deep voice rang through the music shop. Alicia and Ashley looked around until there eyes fell on the person calling.

"Hey Andy," Ashley said as Andy walked over.

"Hey. Uhh who is this?" Andy questioned looking Alicia up and down.

"This is Alicia, she just stubbed her toe and that's how we meet."

Alicia giggled," Really that's how I get introduced."

Andy smiled down at her.

"You seem like the kind of person that would run at the sight of someone who looked like us," Andy said pointing to himself and Ashley.

"Now why would I do that?"

"Because we're f*cking intimatating," Ashley screaming through the store.

"Shhhhh," Alicia hushed them,"We're going to get kicked out."

"They aren't going to kick out the Black Veil Brides," Andy responded.

Alicia scrunched up her face in confusion.

"We're a famous Rock'n'Roll band. Never heard of us?"

"Uhh, no. Rock isn't really my scene."

"Yeah, should've been able to guess that," Andy responded.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Ohh nothing," he said smirking.

"Well, I'm going to go," Alicia said walking off because she got annoyed at the turn the conversation took, but as aways she kept the smile on her face and the warmth in her voice. She returned to looking though some jazz vinyls.

"Wait! You dropped this," Ashley said giving her a piece of paper before he and Andy walked off.

Confusion written on her face as she unfolded the small piece of paper.

'1515 Broadway be there at 8:30. Love from Andy and Ash.'

She bite her lip contemplating whether or not to go. They could be rapists for all she knows.

******

Alicia felt the cold air hit her as she stepped out of the car. A sense of being judged washed over her. She didn't belong and she knew that.

'Is that what people who dress in all black fell like when they go in public?' She thought to herself. She looked down at ther phone to see the time 8:23, she was a tad early.

she advance to the building adjusting her yellow summer dress and gray jacket, and checked her long brown curly hair. She wasn't exactly sure what she was meant to do. Looking around in confusion until she heard the deep voice of a man.

"You came," she turned around to see Andy.

"I did," she replied smiling,"but I feel so out of place here, she said gathering her surroundings.

"Don't worry that's flow over."

"I hope so," she mumbled.

"You look nice by the way," he comlimented her as he grabbed her hand to lead her to the back door.

She blushed at the comment and sudden touching of the hand. He looked back and saw her rosey cheeks. He smiled to himself.

As they stepped into the buliding an overwelming smell of smoke and alcohol hit Alicia. She coughed in response, covering her mouth with her sleeve.

Andy noticed and felt a tad bit of guilt,"sorry about that," he muttered.

She just smiled in response.

"You know you smile a lot?" Andy said to her.

She was about to reply when she heard her name.

"Alicia!" She looked to see Ashley.

"Hey," she waved, but he got up and hugged her, smirking at Andy.

The hug went a bit longer then Alicia anticipated but to her gratefulness it was endded by an awkward clearing of the throat. Alicia pulled back to see someone who dressed like Ash and Andy.

"Ohh there's more," Alicia said and then went a bit wide eyed,"Uhhh I didn't mean it llike that it was just that uhh-"

"It's okay," she was cut off by a man holding drum sticks, "I'm CC."

"Pleasure to meet you," she replied smiling.

"I'm Jake and this is Jinxx."

"Lovely to meet you two," she smiled to them al,"I'm Alicia."

"Where did you find this girl, a church?" Someone else said causing all the boys to chuckle. Alicia was kind of offended but played of the comment with a smile.

"Alicia this is Matt," Andy said.

"No at the music store, she was looking through Jazz Vinylls I think," Ashely said," And then she stubbed her toe and I laughed. thee end."

"You like Jazz? Cool. What about Rock?" Jinxx asked.

"Not particularly, but I'm pretty ignorant on it," she replied,"I'm not exactly sure why the boys even invited me."

They all turned to Ashley who muffled something inaudible.

"what?"

"Nothing," Ashley said laughing as Andy death glared him.

"Ready for the show?" CC asked.

"Is there something I need to be ready for?"

"A f*cking riot!" Matt yelled.

"Can I just sit back here," Alicia pleaed with a cute smile.

"No," Ashley replied, "That won't be any fun, just watch from the side line."

Alicia looked like she waas thinking for a moment but her train of thought was cut off by everyone staring at her.

"You two invited a stranger to come back stage when you have all thosse fans who adore you? And for all you two know I could be like a murder or a kidnapper?"

"Or a rapist," Ashley replied winking.

"Ehhh, we have security," Andy replied flashing her a smile.

Alicia followed them as they got up to go to the stage. The sound of a screaming cloud engulfed the area. The air was electric and beyond anything she's ever felt before. But still, she didn't really enjoy it. It got pretty overwelming for someone so sweet.

She watched as girls marvelled over there idols being right infront of them. And the sound of cussing irratated Alicia to an extent. This was definity not her scene. She smiled when she realised the show was over.

She followed the boys into the dressing room.

"That was great," she lied not really wanting to hurt their feelings.

"Thanks," Jinxx said.

Alicia looked down at her watch and realised how late it was. And that she has work in the morning.

"Well thanks for the show guys but I got to jet," she waved to all of them before feeling her pocket.

"Looking for this?" Ashley said handing her her phone.

"Uhh thanks," she responded. She quickely hugged all the band and Matt before heading to her car.

As she got in she decided to check her phone to make sure they didn't do anything to it before she drove off. She went into it and saw two new contacts.

'Ash' and 'Andy <3'

She smiled at itt. She found it kind of corny but was also kind of confused as to why Andy's name had a love heart.

Pushing the thought to the back of her head she drove off.
