Now Remembered. But For How Long?
The Gleam
*Andy's POV*
After we met little Sarah and said she could play with us, she went with Juni and Jinxx to give her some war paint. She lost her mom too, like Juni. So I think the least we can do for her is let her play since one, it's her birthday, and two, this might be the best thing for her to do since she doesn't have a mom.
"Andy. Are you listening?" Ashley waved his hand in front of my face,
"What?"
"I said what do you think of Sarah?"
"She's cool. Never met a fan like her. She's like a mini Juni."
"Well that was fast. I hope she wasn't a burden." Carter looked at Sarah on Jinxx's back.
"Not at all. She was very nice and extremely happy. It's the least we can do. It is her birthday. Think of this as BVB's birthday gift to Sarah."
"Thank you all so much. Is there anything I can do to repay you?"
"No don't worry. She's such a loyal fan and I hope she stays one. That's all we can ask for." I smiled at Sarah. Just then, Carter's phone rang.
"Sarah, Daddy has to go see Grandma. She got sick. We need to go. I'm sorry." Sarah's face went pale.
"Daddy. You promised we could go. Please I want to stay and play with Jinxx and see Black Veil Brides play."
"Carter, she can stay with me. I'll even take her home. It's no problem at all. Really, I don't mind. She's in good hands." Then Juni and Carter started talking to each other and handed each other a slip of paper.
"Sure. Guys, I'm going to hand this ticket away can one of you come with us?" Juni yelled to us.
"Let's all go. This way we can meet the fans in case we can't after the show." I smiled.
"Awesome." We all walked out. Jinx and Sammi were holding hands and talking. Lauren surprised CC when we got outside. Jake had Sarah in his arms. While the guys and I signed stuff and talked to fans, Jake gave Sarah to Juni to they could give someone the ticket.
"Sammi come look it's Jazzy!" Juni yelled. I wonder who Jazzy is. Sammi ran to see who it was.
"Maybe she's an old friend of theirs." CC made a point.
Just then Sammi, Juni, and a girl came running back to us. Sarah was in Juni's arms smiling.
"Guys, this is Jazzy. Jazzy this is my brother Jake, that's Lauren and CC, Jinxx and Ashley, and there's Andy or as I call him Lion. But you should know that since you're at the concert." Juni laughed.
"Well duh. Wait. Jake's your brother?!"
"that's what I said when I met him like six years ago." Juni and Jazzy laughed. We all walked inside and went back to our dressing rooms to relax while we waited to go on. Sarah was running around giggling while CC chased her.
"Come and catch me if you can I'm the gingerbread kid." Sarah laughed and jumped on the couch.
"gotcha!" CC picked Sarah up and spun her. I think CC would be great with kids, only because at heart he is one.
"Sarah have some water. remember you need to be hydrated." Juni handed Sarah a water bottle with her name on it.
"Okay." Sarah smiled and drank some water.
"Guys you're on in five." one of the tour crew guys came in.
"Let's go. Sarah just stand with Juni. I'll give you the cue to come on when it's your turn." Jake smiled and grabbed his guitar. I ran onto the stage and grabbed the mic.
"HOW ARE YOU BVB ARMY?," The crowd cheered. "Good. Well you already know us. So let's get started. This one is called We Stitch These Wounds." Jake and Jinxx started on the intro. Then I came in,
" You kissed the lips of evil,
Two months is all the same.
I begged for the man's approval,
Pray to die in vain.
Sit down with thoughts alone now,
With blood these lyrics came.
Your words, they eat right through me,
Death could hear my shame.
The tears we've cried, this love has died,
You're by yourself with me tonight.
It's what we hide with every lie,
And stitch these wounds with me tonight.
I think of it each time I touch you,
Or every time I hear his name.
These walls will never crumble,
Here's our cause to blame.
Sit down with thoughts alone now,
With blood these lyrics came.
Your words, they eat right through me,
Death could hear my shame.
The tears we've cried, this love has died,
You're by yourself with me tonight.
It's what we hide with every lie,
And stitch these wounds with me tonight.
Liar, liar, liar, oh
The tears we've cried, this love has died,
You're by yourself with me tonight.
It's what we hide with every lie,
And stitch these wounds with me tonight.
The tears we've cried, this love has died,
You're by yourself with me tonight.
It's what we hide with every lie,
And stitch these wounds with me tonight.
Liar!
Liar!
Liar say goodbye!" The minute I ended the crowed was screaming. The adrenaline of the crowd was the best. This is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
"Alright Can I get my favorite Wolf Tiger to come out on stage and play Never Give in with us?" Juni came running onto the stage glaring at me while smiling at the crowd.
"Did I tell you guys, it's her birthday? Well it is. On three everyone scream 'Happy Birthday Juni. One, Two, Three."
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUNI!" the crowd screamed. Juni smiled and yelled thanks into the mic I got her.
“This is Never Give In. and Juni is singing the chorus and playing. Isn’t she amazing.”
“JAKE! You didn’t say anything about me singing.” Juni looked at Jake as I started singing. Jake didn’t know either so he shrugged and mouthed I didn’t know. Juni did great on the solo. The crowd went crazy when Juni sang.
"I told you you'd do great. Now we're gonna play a little slow song now. Sarah, can you come onto the stage with Sammi?," Sammi came out with Sarah holding a violin in her hands. Sammi stood with Jinxx and Sarah was on the opposite side of him. the crowed awwed and said lucky.
"Well guys, this is Sarah. She just turned ten today. We met her at the meet and greet. she's actually Juni's biggest fan. Sarah's going to play The Mortician's Daughter with us on the violin. Can we all give Sarah a big round of applause?"
The crowd cheered and without me asking they all sang Happy Birthday to Sarah. It was amazing. The instrumental started up and then I started to sing. When Jinxx's part came up Sarah played along too. She did amazing. Sarah was so into her part I think she forgot we were in front of lots of people. When I ended the crowd went wild. Kids were screaming. I saw kids in the front row crying.
"Alright Motherfuckers. Was Sarah Amazing or what?" The crowd roared.
"Well I don't think I could do it without Jinxx." Sarah ran to Juni's mic and smiled.
"Up next is Perfect Weapon. Sammi, Juni and Sarah can stay on stage. Lauren you can stand with CC." I smiled and Lauren sat by CC while I sang. I sang All Your Hate and Children Surrender.
"This is the last song of the night! This is Carolyn." Juni started the intro and the guys came in right after her. I picked Sarah up and let her sing with me. Juni gave Sarah her mic and Sarah's water. Sarah took a sip of here water right before I sang. The crowd sang along with us which was amazing.
Jake told Juni to put her guitar away and come back onto the stage. When she came back I spoke into the mic. We were about to play Saviour.
"Guy's we actually have one last song to play. It's on our new album Set The World On Fire. It's dedicated to you guys because we get letters and fans come up to us and tell us their stories of self harm, depression, broken homes. I think you get the point. Even though we don't always have the answer for you guys, we know our music has helped you so this goes out to you. Also, this is especially dedicated to Juni and this really means a lot. All of BVB helped to make this song. So here's Saviour." Jake and Jinxx started the intro.
" I never meant to be the one who kept you from the dark
But now I know my wounds are sown because of who you are I will take this burden on and become the holy one
But remember I am human and I'm bound to sing this song
So hear my voice, Remind you not to bleed
I am here
Saviour! Will be there
When you are feeling alone, ohhh
A saviour, for all that you do
So you may live freely without their harm
So here I write my lullaby, to all the lonely ones
Remember as you learn to try to be the one you love
So I can take this pen and teach you how to live
But what is left unsaid, the greatest gift I give.
So hear my voice
Remind you not to bleed
I am here
Saviour! Will be there
When you are feeling alone, ohhh
A saviour for all that you do
So you live freely without their harm
Saviour! Will be there
When you are feeling alone, ohhh
A saviour for all that you do
So you may live freely without their harm
When I hear your cries: Praying for light
I will be there.
When I hear your cries: Praying for life
I will be there!!!
I will be there!
I will always be there!
I will be there! "
Juni was smiling and holding back tears, Sammi and Lauren were smiling and Sarah was crying and smiling.
"Thank you all for coming out tonight. I hope you all loved it. We are Black Veil Brides and We Love You." CC threw drumsticks into the crowd and Jake and Jinxx threw guitar picks.
This was by far the best concert and birthday ever thrown. I looked at Juni and the guys after we ran off stage. They all had smiles plastered on their faces and played with Sarah. Sammi and Lauren were hugging Jinxx and CC, talking about this show. I looked to Juni and saw a gleam in her eye that's never been there before. I know she was truly happy because of that gleam. I hugged Juni and kissed her forehead.
"Juni, I love you. Happy Birthday."
"Lion, I love you too. This was the best birthday ever."
After we met little Sarah and said she could play with us, she went with Juni and Jinxx to give her some war paint. She lost her mom too, like Juni.
