We Can Leave It All Behind
Yes it is true, I finally fell in love
"Vero, I'm home." Her mother stepped through the glass sliding door and into the warmth of the house. It had just stopped snowing outside.
When she received no response, her immediate thought was that her daughter had fallen asleep. "Vero? Honey?" She made her way down the hallway towards Vero's closed door. "Vero?" She knocked but there was no answer. She turned the handle of the door and slowly pushed it open. The door hinges creaked as the bottom dragged across the carpet.
Vero was gone. All of her possessions, her clothes, her computer, everything. The room was close to empty. Her mother clasped a hand to her mouth and tears began to fall from her eyes. Her first born child was gone.
She ran back down the hallway towards the kitchen where the phone was. She dialed Vero's cell phone number but was redirected to voice mail. Her mother had no idea what to do. She couldn't file for a missing persons report for another twenty four hours. All she could really do at that moment was wait and pray that Vero wasn't dead or that she would come back in the morning.

The thrashing sounds, the bright lights, the hectic atmosphere; it was all so different and exciting. Vero still couldn't believe that she was standing back stage of a Black Veil Brides show.
"That was so crazy!" She exclaimed. "Being back stage is so much cooler than being in the audience. Being so close to you guys when you perform; it's awesome." She beamed at Andy. She couldn't remember a time where she had ever been happier.
"I'm glad you liked it." Andy smiled at her and slipped his arm around her waist protectively. He felt the need to protect her. She was so small and delicate looking. He wanted to make sure nothing and no one ever hurt her.
As if she hadn't already fallen completely for him, Vero could feel herself falling even more and more for him. She didn't think it was possible to love someone so much. She began to feel that now he was really a part of her and without that vital piece of her, she would surely die.
When they returned to the bus, Vero went and changed into her pajamas. It had been a pretty long night for her. She wasn't used to going like that on Saturday nights. Usually she just spent her life on the internet looking at pictures of Andy and dreaming of the day he would finally notice her. She also wanted to write more of her fan fiction story.
"You're going to bed already?" Andy observed.
"Well... Yeah?" It was more of a question than a statement.
"You don't want to go out with us tonight?" Ashley commented as he pulled on his leather vest.
"I can't go out with you guys. I'm not twenty one yet..." Vero said. "It's okay, though." She assured. "I'll be fine here until you guys get back."
Andy kissed her on the top of her head. "Well, okay. I feel bad for just leaving you here but maybe I can make it up to you tomorrow. Sound okay?"
Vero smiled. "Of course."
As soon as the guys were gone, she jumped into her bunk and snuggled up under her covers with her laptop resting on her legs. Finally she could work on her fan fiction story without the guys around. She didn't want them to know she wrote fan fiction about them. They would make fun of her about it for sure and that was the last thing she wanted. Just the thought of them knowing brought a sense of embarrassment to her.
This next chapter she had decided was going to be based on her experience tonight. It was perfect.
The music, the lights, the stage; it was all so different. Layla was amazed with all the energy and commotion going on backstage. She had always wanted to be backstage during a rock concert and now she was. Every time she saw Andy look over at her and smile, her heart melted a little more each time.
