Welcome To My Life

Sylvie giggled, tossing back her first shot of the night. She promised herself she wouldn't get too drunk since this was the first band she was ever shooting live.

Yes- the guys had surprised her and wanted her to shoot their record release show and she couldn't have been more excited. She was beginning to find her place and God was she happy.

"Damn, Sylvie, you can hold your alcohol." Ashley laughed as she stuck her tongue out. She dropped a canister of film and bent down to pick it up but Andy beat her to it. On his way up, his hand squeezed her tiny ass and she jumped. He looked beautiful in all of his stage makeup, and clothes. Her breath was taken away as she looked at him especially after he touched her butt..

"T-thanks." She mumbled, feeling him pull her against his body. She blushed, glancing away but he only leaned in and kissed the corner of her eye. "What's up with you?" She quirked her brow, snapping out of her trance as his hand glided to her ass again.

"Nothing." He said, leaning in to take her mouth against his. She moaned softly as he dominated her mouth, licking every corner. She pulled back and bit her lip.

"You sure? You seem extra flirty.." She smirked.

"I'm fine. Just enjoying you.." He said, running his hand through her hair.

"Oh." She giggled. "Excited for the show?"

"Yes. I haven't played one in forever." He grinned.

They were at Hollywood Highland Mall ready to perform their painted asses off and Sylvie knew it wasn't too much longer now. Poppy, and Aaron were in the crowd and soon Jake and Jinxx's girlfriends would walk through the door. It was the first time Sylvie would meet them and she was a little nervous.

"Good. Be careful okay?" She said, running her hands over the black vest he was wearing.

"I will be. Why wouldn't I?" He quirked his brow.

"I don't know." She mumbled. "I just have a bad feeling.."

"I'll be good." He smiled, kissing her forehead. The door opened to the room and Andy smiled seeing the girls, Ella and Sammi walk in. They were both gorgeous, like super models but as far as Andy was concerned, Sylvie was the prettiest. "Hey guys, this is Sylvie." Both of them smiled widely at her and pulled her into huge hugs.

"We're so glad Andy has you now." Ella grinned, her brown hair flowing past her shoulders. Her green eyes were bright and Sylvie became jealous of her suddenly. She was absolutely beautiful and she couldn't help but wonder why Andy was so interested in her when girls like Ella were around.

"Thank you." Sylvie blushed. "But we're just friends at the moment."

"Yeah, for now." Sammi winked, her peroxide blonde hair looking perfect in the lighting. Sylvie only shook her head, returning back to Andy's side. He took her hand and squeezed softly.

"Black Veil Brides! You guys are on in ten, get backstage!" The short, blonde, tattooed manager, Jon, yelled at the guys. He slammed the door shut making them all laugh.

"Oh Jonny.." Ashley said, pulling himself off of the couch. Andy's arms wrapped tightly around Sylvie's waist as the group all walked out of the bathroom turned dressing room. Her camera was around her neck and she couldn't wait to take pictures of this band whom she could now call some of her best friends.

Andy kissed her forehead and then pulled away to go warm his voice up with Ashley in the corner. She watched for the full ten minutes, hearing Ella and Sammi talk beside her.

Jake and Jinxx were plucking strings on their guitars while CC drummed on a wall nearby. It was so natural the way everyone knew exactly what to be doing and in that moment she felt alive. Like she was exactly where she was supposed to be.

"You ready to take some pictures little lady?" She heard Andy ask as he returned back to her side.

"Ready Freddy." She giggled, lifting her camera up and snapping a shot of him.

"Sylvie, you can go down in between the barricade and the crowd. Yanni will escort you." Jon said, smiling a bit as Andy leaned in and placed a long kiss on her lips.

"Break a leg, baby. But..not actually." She smirked, hugging him quickly and then waving to the guys.

Yanni, the guys buff as hell security guard, walked her down to the barricade and smirked at her as a few fans called her name. "Guess anyone involved with Andy becomes a celebrity right away, huh?"

"I guess so." She giggled. "You don't have to stay here, Yanni. I'm okay."

"You sure? Some of these fans can get a little rabid.." Yanni looked around at all of the fans who had their phones ready.

"Maybe you should stay." She laughed, hushing herself as the lights dimmed and the crowd went wild.

She began to think about all the times she'd seen her favorite bands. Simple Plan, The Used, Blink 182, All Time Low, Mayday Parade. She'd seen them all and every time she was even more blown away.

CC came running out, making everyone go wild. Next was Jinxx and Jake together, then Ashley, and finally Andy came out. A huge smile adorned his made up face as everyone cried out his name. His eyes immediately drifted down to her where he blew a kiss and grinned as the guys started playing Fallen Angels.

Sylvie's camera immediately began shuttering and she laughed as he began playing himself up to her. The other guys made funny faces, making her giggle.

They sounded just like the record and God- Sylvie had never seen a band perform the way they did. They had such a connection together that she felt like she was watching a family on stage.

"Wow! Los Angeles this is fucking amazing! We're the Black Veil Brides from Hollywood, California and we're here to celebrate our new album Set The World On Fire!" The crowd went wild, screaming loudly. "How would you feel if we played you a few new songs and some old ones as well?" He held his hand up to his ear waiting for them to scream even louder. "Good, this one is called Rebel Love Song!"

Sylvie blushed at that, looking through her view finder. She caught an awesome picture of Jake and Jinxx jumping at the same time and one of Andy smiling widely at the crowd.

They played God Bless You after that and then went into Carolyn off of their first album. Soon enough, they were playing one of Sylvie's favorites that she heard called All Your Hate.

The crowd was loving it and Andy was going fucking insane. The guys watched during Jakes solo as he climbed up on a marble pillar. "Alright Los Angeles, show me what you've got!" He screamed.

Something clenched in her stomach and she gave him a weary look as he began head banging to the beat. Yanni looked over at her and she shook her head. "What's he doing!?"

"I have no idea!" She yelled over the sound of the music.

"He's going to kill himself up there, it's too high for him to get back down!" Yanni screamed and then waved at Andy to get down.

He didn't see him and just like that, Andy was falling off of the pillar. His ribs smashed into the wall opposite him and the entire crowd yelled. A few people were crying as Andy wasn't getting up so Sylvie jumped over the barrier with the help of Yanni and then pushed her way to him.

The music was still going on, the guys obviously not seeing what was happening.

She heard Andy groaning and ran to his side. "Andy, what were you thinking?" She asked, brushing his hair from his face. He just grunted in response and reached for her hand.

"I don't know, Sylv.." He mumbled, leaning to try and sit up but he groaned and placed his head in her lap. Security was crowded around them as she talked quietly to him.

"You need to get to an ambulance, Andy. They have to check you out." She exclaimed, looking around for help.

"I can wait!" He pleaded, looking around at the audience.

"No, Andy. I understand how important this show is but you're hurt." She could already see him swelling. "You don't want to be in more pain."

"Yes I do." He grunted, standing up. "I have to do this for those kids."

"Andy, please!" She yelled, tears falling down her cheeks.

"Sylvie, I'll see you in a half hour and we can talk about this then.." She buried her face in her hands and sighed.

The guys had four more songs to play and she knew they were the most important ones. The Legacy, We Stitch These Wounds, Perfect Weapon, and Knives And Pens.

But as the show went on and Sylvie watched from side stage, Andy seemed delirious. He was calling out songs they never played live, forgot the lyrics to ones he should know. She knew he had hurt himself really badly and all she wanted was for a doctor to check him out. She wanted to know he was going to be okay and do her best to help him in any way she could.

Finally, they made it through the last song and all of the guys were thrilled for the show to be over. They sent thanks to the crowd, their record company, and more before they were running off the stage.

Andy was immediately surrounded by a huge swarm of people, friends from other bands and security. Sylvie just stood back, worry lining her gut. She felt a tattooed arm wrap around her and looked up to see the pink haired, makeup adorned Jeffree Star. She'd met him a few times since Andy and he were such good friends but he was always a joker. Right now, he looked honestly concerned.

"You okay little Sylvie?" He asked.

"Not really." She mumbled, trying a smile.

"He'll be okay. Try not to worry too much." Jeffree chuckled. She nodded and walked closer to Andy, with Jeff following. He was sitting in a chair, rubbing his head.

"Babe?" Sylvie asked, leaning over to him. He shook his head, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her in close so his head reached her butt. He winced at the feeing but only kissed her arm. "You need to go to the hospital."

"They called an ambulance. I'm sorry, Sylv. I shouldn't have finished the show. You were right." He winced, tears surfacing in his eyes at the pain.

"Andy.." She mumbled, kneeling down next to him and taking his hand in her's. "It's okay."

"I know." He whispered. "I'm just sorry."

"The ambulance is here!" Jon screamed, "Everyone move out of the way!"

Sylvie helped him out of the chair and watched as he walked to Jon. "Sylv, come with me. Please.." Andy groaned, reaching for her hand. She grabbed it and chased after him, Jeffree ran to the pair as well.

"Just these two can come, not much room on the ambulance." Andy nodded, walking out with Sylvie's hand locked in his.

He climbed in the back, hearing the screams of his fans and laid down on the stretcher. Jeffree sat down next to Sylvie and she held his hand once more, kissing his boney knuckles. "I think I fucked myself up guys."

"Andy, it's okay." Jeffree smiled.

"Whatever happens, I'm here." Sylvie mumbled, leaning over to kiss his forehead as the ambulance began moving.
