I Am Here.

"You guys were so fucking amazing! We are the Black Veil Brides, see ya next time!!" Andy yelled into the microphone as they guys ran offstage.
"Nice job guys! It's kinda weird seeing it in the wings. It's different." I smiled at Andy.
"OFF TO THE TENT!!" CC battlecried, "ILL GRAB THE MIGIT!!"
Jinxx gladly jumped on CCs back screaming,"YOU'LL NEVER CATCH US MOTHAFUKKAS!!!"
"Go Ash-stallion, GO!!!" Jake commanded Ash as he surprised jumped on Ash's back as he ran.
"Quick! I don't want to be last!!!" Andy urgently instructed me, gesturing for me to get on his back. I hopped on, Andy grabbed my legs, and ran like the wind. It was indeed a full blown race. People had to dodge CC to prevent getting knocked over. As Andy passed Ash and Jake, I gave them the side rocker tongue. Jake flipped me off.
"Ahh, FUCK YOU ANDY AND YOUR GAZELLE LEGS!!!" Ash cursed as he stumbled to catch up.
"TOO SLOW, AREN'T YOU FATTY?" Andy teased Ash as we approached the tent, the winners already inside. When we all got there, we fell on the ground in exhaustion and in nostalgic laughter. I propped myself against the pole, put my arms behind my head, closed my eyes, and enjoyed the sun as the guys started the signings.

"So, where do you guys wanna eat? We are in the Chicago area, I mean, we can find just about anything." Jake addressed everyone as he plopped down next to Jinxx and Ash on the bus's couch.
"I'm not feeling super fancy. How about Applebee’s?" Jinxx questioned.
"Yes!! That's fine, let’s go!! IM STARVING!!!!" CC yelled as he ran out the door to the rental car. We all grabbed our wallets and Andy grabbed the keys. We piled in, sitting myself in shotgun and everyone else in the back, as Andy ripped away toward Applebee’s.
"Rules of sitting in shotgun, you choose the music." Andy instructed, digging his iPhone out of his pocket and connecting it to the stereo.
"Now we will all find out if she is worth keeping around. To get to know someone is to judge their taste in music." Jake said crossing his arms, preparing to be impressed.
"Phh, no pressure. Thanks." I retorted, looking up the perfect song on YouTube. "To get the full array, I'll make the first one fast and the second one slow." The lyric video loaded and it started to play.

'''''Da da da da de da
Da da da de da
Dadadadada de de da
LET’S GO!
It's not easy making a name for yourself
Where do you draw the line?
I never thought I'd be in this far
Let's have some fun and never change that for anyone
Try not to miss me when I'm gone

Woooh, wooooh

I sold my soul to the open road
I'll live my life alone
You won't find me in the same spot believe me
I could never stop, my life's turned upside down

Meet me out past the train tracks I'm leavin' and not coming back

You're right and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all.'''''

Andy banged his head to the beat as the other guys danced along in their seats.
"Who is this? I don't think I've heard these guys before." Jake asked.
"A Day to Remember. I'm pretty sure you've heard of them."

''''''I'm gonna need you to try to follow along.
I did the best that I could to try to write you songs.
Now go tell them we sold out, like we're the ones who changed.
I write what I feel, I say what I mean
You can't buy sincerity

Woooh, wooooh

I sold my soul to the open road
You won't find me in the same spot believe me
I could never stop, my life's turned upside down

Meet me out past the train tracks I'm leavin' and not coming back

You're right and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all.

Don't forget yourselves we made up our minds
We signed 3, 4, 5 on that dotted line
Don't forget yourselves we made up our minds
We signed 3, 4, 5 on that dotted line

You won't find me in the same spot believe me
I could never stop, my life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks I'm leavin' and not coming back
You're right and I was wrong

You won't find me in the same spot believe me
I could never stop, my life's turned upside down

Meet me out past the train tracks I'm leavin' and not coming back

You're right and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all; this town will be the downfall of us all.
DOWNFALL OF US ALL
DOWNFALL OF US ALL
DOWNFALL OF US ALL
DOWNFALL OF US ALL!!!'''''

The song ended and I started to look up the next song.
"Huh," Jake huffed in enjoyment, “I’m going to have to look into them."
"Ash, you're unusually quiet." Andy pointed out.
"You guys. Mean to tell me. That you NEVER heard that song before?!?? I have failed. It's only like my favorite song of all time!!" Ash, clearly excited that I love his favorite song, yelled.
"It’s one of mine too!" I turned around in my seat and screeched, "Why didn't you say anything while the song was playing?"
"Your song choice... You have no idea how turned on I am right now." Ash half whispered sexily with a quick glance down toward the slight bulge in his jeans.
"Gross. Fuck off." I growled as I turned back around in my seat. Andy would not stop laughing. "Humf" Ash huffed, a little disappointed.
"Ok this song means a lot to me so I hope you guys love it." I played the song excitedly.

''''Paint yourself a picture
Of what you wish you looked like
Maybe then they just might
Feel an ounce of your pain

Come into focus
Step out of the shadows
It's a losing battle
There's no need to be ashamed

Cause they don't even know you
All they see is scars
They don't see the angel
Living in your heart

Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you've got
That you are not your skin

Oh , Oh

When they start to judge you
Show them your true colors
And do onto others
As you'd have done to you

Just rise above this
Kill them with your kindness
Ignorance is blindness
They're the ones that stand to lose

'Cause they don't even know you
All they see is scars
They don't see the angel
Living in your heart

Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you got
That you are not your skin

OHHHHHHHHHH

Well they don't even know you
All they see is scars
They don't see the angel
Living in your heart

Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you've got
That you are not
That you are not your skin

Oh , Oh'''''

As the beautiful melody ended, Andy glanced at me with longing glossy eyes. He was the only one who knew about my cutting problem. That's why I love the song. It's about being strong no matter the condition of your skin, in my case, acne and self inflicted. It really touched me and gave me strength, just like Saviour had.
We finally pulled into the Applebee’s parking lot and we ran inside because we were starving! We sat down and ordered just before my phone buzzed. It was Devyn.
"Heeelllllloooo?????" I answered.
"Um hey where the fuck are you?!? Weren't you supposed to get a ride home in the morning?"
"Oh yeah, well, what happened was that the driver didn't know I was on the bus so he drove to the next location while we're we sleeping. Don't worry though; Andy's buying me a plane ticket back tonight."
"Ok, I was just wondering."
"HI DEVYN!! I heard you have double K boobs. Am I right?" Ash stole my phone and asked Devyn with a pervy grin.
"ASH! Gimme my phone back!" I demanded.
"Double K is impossible. I'm an F." Devyn confessed laughing, knowing that I had lied to Ash earlier.
"CC! QUICK!" Ash threw my phone, football style, over to CC who stuck it down his pants.
"Ewwww!!! That's fucking disgusting!!! I know you don't wear underwear. Now it's gonna smell like sweaty tour balls." I faked gagged
CC removed my phone from his jeans, "NOW YOU KNOW WHAT BALLS SOUND LIKE!!" he yelled into the phone then hung up and threw it back to me. I caught it and it had ball sweat on it. I got up and went to the bathroom to wipe off my phone and wash my hands. I made the horrible mistake of looking up at the mirror.
'Ugly bitchhhhhhhhh.' The voice hissed. I didn’t bring my makeup with me to Warped Tour so I didn’t have any eyeliner or shadow on, because I took it off earlier, and my face makeup had been melting off. It wasn’t melting to where it looks awful, but my mind told me otherwise. My heart sank deep only to be pulled back to reality when I heard CC half yell "FOOD!" My gaze left the hideous monster that lived in the mirror and walked out of the restroom.
We sat and ate for a while when I glanced over across the restaurant and my eyes landed on her. Maybe my mind was playing tricks on me, but I swear I saw her, all of them. A sad, melancholy song played in my head as I watched my family talk, eat, and laugh with each other in a booth across the restaurant. They all looked moonkissed, exactly how I would imagine someone would look like if they were to return from heaven. Everything about them was perfect. My little sisters’ hair was in the perfect bun and her skin was smooth and clear, absolutely flawless. She was so happy. My older sister had her hair down in the most gorgeous waves one could imagine. Her body reflected the flawlessness of her hair. My parents had never looked better. Young, rejuvenated, alive. I starred, motionless, longing to sit with them, be with them. They turned their heads and looked at me with huge smiles on their faces. The room was ever so silent. Time seemed to stop. Tear formed in my eyes.
“Hi Emily.” my mom said with the most angelic voice. A smile crept onto my face. I forced a happy laugh, tears falling down my face. My dad nodded and my sisters waved. They were the happiest they could be. I choked down sobs as I returned a halfhearted ‘hello’ wave. The next instant, they were gone, my hand still waving now a ‘goodbye.’ I slowly closed my hand and the restaurant returned to normal with the sound of clinking glasses, stacking plates, and the conversations between friends.
“…Em?” Andy questioned with all the guys staring at me with confused eyes, “Are you ok? …You’re crying. Who were you waving at?”
My mind raced, visions of the murder night flashing in my brain. Running…gunshots…grabbing the money…defending myself….cutting myself…calling 911….waking up in the hospital….screaming…so much screaming…mirrors shattering…dead bodies… so much blood…. So much blood…
“Guys, she doesn’t look too good. I’m going to take her to the car and you guys quick pay and meet me there.” Andy urgently stated as he picked me up and ran to the car. He buckled me in the front seat, stoking my face. “You’re gonna be ok,” seeing the panic and the tears now streaming from my face. I started to shake uncontrollably. “GUYS, HURRY!! WE NEED TO GET HER TO A HOSPITAL, LIKE NOW!!!” The guys hopped in only a couple second later, Andy started the car, and we peeled off. I really started freaking out now. The trees were whizzing by, partially because Andy was speeding and that I could feel myself blacking out.
“Andy…” I barely whispered, terrified that I was dying. Andy snapped his head in my direction, the look of fear in his eyes. None of us noticed that Andy had run a red light and none of us noticed the huge semi going 50 miles per hour…until it hit us on the driver’s side and the car went rolling into a pole, wrapping the now totaled car partially around it.

Notes

WHOLLY SHIT!! They got into a crash!!
And if you need help imagining the impact or the car wrapped around a pole, here you go!! (just mute the video because there is a stupid narration; its of a cop car chase and the other guy wasnt paying attention.) and the two songs are A Downfall of Us All by A Day to Rememver and the other one is Skin by Sixx A.M.
