Problem

The concert was a lot of fun, after we headed back to the hotel. I showered and collapsed, completely exhausted from the days activities. In the morning we had to get up pretty early to pack our stuff and get on the road. Everyone was sluggishly dragging their feet around the bus, then Celestia walked up to me with a frown on her face.
“What’s up?” Instead of answering, she simply handed me her phone. There was a text message from Ai reading ‘You fucked up. The interview you did yesterday was just released and now there are a bunch of screaming fangirls that want your head because they don’t think you’re good enough for Andy.’ I frowned at the text and handed the phone back to Celestia. “What does she mean?”
“Check twitter.” I got out my phone and opened the twitter app.
There were tons of fans talking shit about Celes, calling her a bitch and questioning why I would let her walk all over me. This concerned me. I never thought that Celestia would get a negative fan reception, especially given that she was here on tour with us to help us and our fans.
“Guys, we have a problem.” The rest of the band assembled and looked at me curiously. “Yesterdays interview is out and the fans don’t like Cel.”
“What?”
“Why?”
I shook my head, I didn’t really understand it myself.
“Well, let’s just clear things up. People probably took things out of context when in reality Celestia was just defending herself,” Jinxx said, the one useful response thus far.
I figured that it would be worth a shot, so I got on twitter and posted ‘My gf is a good person, she was only defending herself in that interview.’
I was hoping that that would be enough to fix the problem, but at the same time I highly doubted it. It looks like this would just be something we have to overcome before our relationship can progress.
I turned toward Celes to find that she had disappeared. She wasn’t on the first floor of the bus so I headed upstairs and found her curled in her bunk. “What’s wrong? Please tell me you don’t believe them.”
Celestia looked up at me and I noticed the tears streaking her cheeks. “I’m weak.”
Fuck. “Why would you think that?”
“Because, how can I ever prove myself right over however hundreds or thousands or whatever of fans you have? Compared to that I’m just one person.” I crawled into her bunk and sat next to her, gently wiping a tear from her cheek.
“You are one of the strongest people I know. You didn’t back down against those thugs that attacked you. You didn’t shy away from standing up for yourself against that interviewer. You didn’t stand down against those teenage bullies. Why would you let people that don’t even know you break your will to keep fighting?” She didn’t answer, instead new tears stained her cheeks. I hated seeing her like that, so vulnerable, so sad. So I did the only thing I could think to do. I sang. “Saints born together to fight against their holy fables
The streets are where we pray
Hymns for the lonely, wretched and forgotten
The feeling in our hearts won't ever fade away.” My voice was low, but I slowly raised the volume, pulling Celes closer to me as I continued to sing.

“We stand tall, united
Watch them fall, divided
Break the chains and now we'll show them all, fight

Fight for all you know
When your backs against the wall
Stand against the liars
Stronger than before
When your life becomes a war
Set the world on fire

Sing out united against the ones you left in hatred
Our message of today
Like children crying when all they knew was dying
And we will raise our flags up
It's time for them to pay

We stand tall, united
Watch them fall, divided
Break the chains and now we'll show them all, fight.” Then another voice joined my own, sinking in the recital of the familiar words as Ashley sang backup for me like he would in a concert.

“Fight for all you know
When your backs against the wall
Stand against the liars
Stronger than before
When your life becomes a war
Set the world on fire.” I noticed out of the corner of my eye that the rest of the band had come up, and when the next verse hit all of us sang the group vocals as one.

“Woahh ohhh
So sing it loud you hold the key, woahh ohhh
We're the rebels and we're free
Woahh ohhh
It's time to burn all that you see, woahh ohhh
Now the world belongs to me

Fight for all you know
When your backs against the wall
Stand against the liars
Stronger than before
When your life becomes a war
Set the world on fire

Proud in all you are
Showing every scar
As your badge of honor
When you can't take anymore
Of what they're living for
Set the world on fire.”

Notes

Thanks for the comments, the praise/flattery/whatever-the-hell-you-call-it makes me very happy. Sorry about any confusion over POV, I just don't like stating the POV because it feels like a shortcut to me. Hopefully my little addition to the summary has clarified that. Feel free to comment (especially if you want to explain something to me) and enjoy.
Oh, and thanks for the explanation.
