"Meow" I felt my kitten Max pawing at my nose trying to wake me up.

"Whaaat?" I groaned rolling over, he usually knows that means to leave me alone but being the little fucker he is, he decided to jump on my shoulder and bite at my ear. I sighed and rolled onto my back looking up at his yellow green eyes.

"What do you want Max? Mommy's trying to sleep after being awake for over 40 hours" he gently pawed at my nose again.

"Meoww" I honestly love how he replies to my questions. He may be a little shit sometimes but I love the hell out of him. I sat up and started to pet him as he laid in my lap purring. I decided to take out my laptop and pull up at&t, I was going to change my number before it got any later. I wanted to change my number with a different area code so I had looked up how. Turns out you have to call a customer service number from your current cell phone to do so.

-30 long minutes later-
Well, I now have a different number, except it's with a new york area code. When that happened I sent a text to my mom letting her know about it. Oh yeah, I should have mentioned, she knew about the concert so she expected me to be in new york by now. I dialed her number and after 3 rings she picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hi momma, it's me, Mel"

"Oh, hi honey! I didn't recognize the number, where are you calling from?"

"New york, I'm here for the show and decided to take advantage of me being here. So I changed my number because a certain someone tried to bother me again."

"Oh, okay, well that was a good idea. You getting ready for the show?"

"Yeah, I'm about to, I just wanted to call and let you know I changed my number so you can delete the old one."

"Okay sweetheart, that's fine! I have to go now though, gotta get back to work. Text me after the show okay? And BE CAREFUL!"

I laughed as how she had to whisper yell that to me, "Okay momma, I will, I promise. I'll talk to you later. Love you, bye!"

"Okay baby, love you too! BYEEEEE-"

She quickly hung up not even finishing with her last word, god she's crazy. I looked at the time seeing it was 3pm. I slowly got out of bed stretching my whole body and walked over to the window admiring the view. I frowned thinking of not knowing what to do once it hits the end of the day. 'I can't go back, he'll find me and this time it'll be much worse..' I sighed closing the blinds and walking into the bathroom turning on the warm water. I slowly got undressed still seeing quite a few brusies on my stomach, thighs and arms I felt my eyes starting to water but blinked away the tears.

After taking a long shower I got out wrapping myself in a towel and walked back out into the room. I went over to my duffel and took out the clothes I packed especially for the show. After drying off and putting on some underwear, I slipped on my red skinny jeans, black veil brides tank top, black varsity jacket with leather sleeves, my crescent moon necklace along with a few rings and bracelets to hide my scars. I had put in my reaper owl plugs and slipped in my black vans. I had grabbed my makeup bag and went back to the bathroom to put on my makeup. I did my usual cat eye eyeliner with a little on my bottom lash and applied mascara. After that I applied some red lipstick and straightened my teal hair, pinning my long bangs to the side just above the outer edge of my ear. http://www.polyvore.com/showtime/set?id=87845905

I was finally ready for the show of my life, I'd only been waiting for this for months. I smiled at my reflection appealed with my appearance, grabbing my phone on the way out along with the card key. I slipped them both into my pocket and headed out of the hotel to the club where the show was taking place. I looked at the time seeing it was only 5pm and stood in line with the others. '2 more hours till it starts' I was jumping with excitement, in my head anyways.

-An hour and a half later-
The security guys finally let us into the club and I was off to the side in the middle of the crowd. Looking at everyones energy and excitement caused a huge smile to grow on my face. Finally after waiting for another half hour the show was starting. I heard one of the guys scream in excitement from the back and I'm guessing I wasn't the only one because the whole crowd started to scream after him. I laughed seeing everyone going crazy as the lights dimmed and the intro started. I saw cam the lead guitarest run onto the stage with a huge grin on his face picking up his guitar getting ready. Then everyone else came out, Jessica being the last but smiling widely with happiness as she looked at everyone.

"How the fuck are you?!" she screamed causing the crowd to cheer along with myself.

"Lets do this!" she shouted and then their song Reckless started up. I closed my eyes and sang along getting lost into the sweet music of her voice and the instruments. They played a few more songs leaving me amazed.

"Wow you guys are amazing" she said while smiling causing the crowd and myself to cheer again.

"We got one last one for you but before, I want to make a little speech." She paused for a minute before speaking into the mic again.

"As many of you know, I've had history with self harm. I'm sure many of you do too" I frowned and looked at her knowing I did myself many times and wanted to when I was going through the mess with Alex.

"Alright, I know it's tough but it's really no way to deal with it, at all. As you may have noticed, yes my scars are new, but I realized it's not the way to go. I want everyone of you to promise me you will never self harm, and if you do, I want you to stop " I sighed but nodded and cheered with the crowd in response. Now all I have to do is remember this night everytime I have the urge to harm.

"This songs for you guys, keep your hopes up, thank you for coming out tonight. I'll see some of you after if you want to stick around. This one's Second and Sebring by of mice and men" she said just as the song was starting. Matt started to sing main vocals, god his voice was amazing. Just then I had saw Jessica jump down going on the barrier and touch as many of the front crowds hands as possible. I saw her stand up and start her part for screaming. I closed my eyes and started head banging getting lost in the music again. Apparently I was so out of it that I missed her jump into the crowd and surf past me and even missed when the other guys in the band threw their pics into the crowd. 'Dammit'

Jessica got back on stage smiling from ear to ear, "Thank you, goodnight!"

I watched as she walked off stage and awaited for the set of Black Veil Brides to begin. God this show was amazing! They played In The End, Rebel Love Song, Perfect Weapon, Fallen Angels and a few other songs. The show was over before I knew it and I was frowning beyond belief as I walked out of the club while all other fans stayed for a while talking. I had walked outside and went into the alleyway shadows so no one could see me as I leaned against the wall feeling my eyes water.

'I don't know what to do now. Once I go back to the hotel they're going to kick me out, I don't have enough money to stay another night or even ride the bus back home no matter how much I don't want to..' I thought to myself as I started to sob uncontrolably and slid my back down the brick wall now sitting on the cold concrete. 'If I go back, he'll kill me..'

"Hey.." I heard a gently voice speaking softly to me. I heard footsteps coming towards me as the figure stood in front of me.

"You okay?" she asked me with concern in her voice. As I was responding, I looked up to see who the caring person was.

"No-" I started but froze in place. "Oh my god you're Jessica Pitts" I said shocked looking at her with wide eyes. 'oh my god, is this really happening?' I thought to myself.

She laughed making me think I had said that out loud.

"Melissa right?" she asked me causing my jaw to drop. 'Holy fuck! Wait, WHAT?!'

"You- how do- my- name" I stumbled like a drunk on my words causing her to laugh. She held out her hand for me to take, my hands were shaking as I extended my arm to hers taking her hand. She pulled me up from the ground, "you're the one who commented on my mean girls quote" she replied causing me to smile. 'Oh my god she remembered'

"You remember me?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Of course now what's wrong?" she asked causing me to sigh.

"Uh- long story" I simply replied back to her. I didn't want to whine to one of my idols about my life.

"You can tell me if you want or is your ride going to be here soon?" she asked.

"No, I uh, don't have anywhere to go or anyone with me" I said back and she nodded.

"Come on" she said and I looked at her, a bit confused I might add.

"Where?"

"To the bus silly" she said and started walking away with my following behind.

We had walked onto her tour bus and she closed the door behind me.

"Sit down get comfy , I'll be right back" she said and ran to I'm guessing her bunk.

I sat down looking around the bus in amazement, "I can't believe I'm actually in here" I mumbled to myself.

After a minute jessica had came back and sat down in front of me.

"Talk" she said leaning back and I sighed.

"I ran away from home, well my ex, he kidnapped me and so I came here and I don't have anymore money left, so I have no where to go and if I go back home he'll find me" I explained to her and instantly started to cry thinking of it. I felt an embrace of arms around me seeing it was jessica hugging me.

"Hey, it's okay" she said trying to calm me which only made me cry harder. I haven't had a real friend in so long, I had forgot what it was like to cry to someone. This wouldn't last for long though..

"I just don't know what to do anymore.." I admitted to her feeling bad for putting my problems on her now. He realeased me from the hug and smiled at me.

"I do, listen I'll take care of you, come on tour with me them come back to LA with us" she said to me causing my eyes to grow wide. 'WHAT?! Okay, this HAS to be a dream or something, I can't believe this. The Jessica Pitts not only was talking to me and trying to comfort me in her own bus but she was willing to take me into her life..'

"I- are you sure?" I asked seeing if she was maybe just doing it out of simpathy and possibly rethought about what she said. She nodded which made me happy causing me to grab her into a massive hug.

"Thank you thank you thank you!" I said causing her to laugh.

"We'll get your stuff on our way to the next date okay? I'm sure the guys won't mind another girl" she said to me and I smiled at her. All of a sudden there was a knock on the door.

"Who is that?" I asked.

"Ashley"

"Wait, Ashley Purdy?!" I asked and she nodded. 'holy shit, am I really meeting the man of my dreams, literally?!' I screamed in my mind kind of anxious. I watched as she went to the door opening it and guiding a very gorgeous confused Ashley up into the bus who froze and stared at me. 'Oh my god it's him'

I smiled at him still sitting as Jessica introduced us.

"Melissa, Ashley, meet Melissa" she said as he looked at her whispering something in her ear causing her to nod. He extended his long tattooed arm to me.

"Nice to meet you" he said smiling at me as I took his hand in awe, I swear my heart was pounding. All of a sudden I was pulled into a hug by him, his musky scent filling my nose.

"You're even prettier than in my dreams" he said to me in the hug. 'Wait, WHAT?! In his dreams? Does this mean.. Holy fuck, he dreams about me too?' my mind was racing with the thought of his words. I pulled away a bit to look at him.

"Well, looks like you two have some talking to do, I'll be outside meeting fans" I heard jessica say just before I heard the door open then close.

'Is this really happening?' I thought to myself as I stood there staring at the guy that's been living in my dreams and have been glued to my mind.

I saw him smile again realizing I had gotten lost in his chocolate brown eyes and not notice I was probably staring for a solid 5 minutes. I looked down and felt my cheeks grow hot seeing he still had his arms around me.

"Um, sorry.. It's nice to meet you too, by the way" I looked up shyly giving a small smile. I decided to be curious, "what did you mean, I'm prettier than in your dreams?" I looked at him confused.

"Oh, uhm-" I watched him patiently as he bit his lip and blushed a light pink.

"Well, even though this may sound completely crazy, I've actually met you before. In my dreams anyways, I'm sorry if that seems creepy." he said as he covered his face with his hands. I felt like I was floating right now, not only am I meeting him but it turns out he was having dreams of me just like I was of him. This is literally a dream come true. I smiled thinking of how great this night actually turned out and slowly moved his hands away.

"No, not at all" I shook my head giving him a warm smile.

"Actually, I've been having dreams about you too lately, for the past few months to be exact." I looked down blushing harder. 'God, I hope he doesn't think I'm just another fan girl..'

Just then I felt his warm embrace again as he started stroking my hair. I hugged him back instantly not wanting to ever let go.

"I can't believe this is actually happening, I've finally found you" I heard him whisper into the hug.

I felt my breath hitch in my throat as he pulled back slightly and started leaning into me.

'Oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god'
