We arrive at Annabelle’s house. I put my stuff in the room I usually use when I’m over here.

“Hey, Val!” Annabelle yells from the living room.

I wonder in and sit on the couch.

“What’s up?” I ask

“You remember how devastated you were because we didn’t get VIP tickets to the BVB concert on Thursday?”

“Yeah... Why?”

“Weeellll…” She says as she pulls out two VIP tickets.

“OHMYGOD!! How’d you get these, Belle?! I fucking love you!”

“Just working my magic” She smiles.

“Wait, the concert’s this Thursday?” I ask

“Yeah”

“I completely forgot! I guess this week isn’t all bad.” I say.

I get up in the morning ready for school when Annabelle grabs me as I walk to her car.

“Nuh-uh, you aren’t going back there. What if your granddad shows up?” She says and I look down.

“What am I supposed to do about school, then? I can’t drop out.” I sigh.

“We’ll transfer you here on Friday.”

“What if everyone hates me here, too?” I ask

“There are a couple people here who are different from everyone else, so make friends with them” She tells me

I nod and head back up to my room to unpack everything. When I’m done I fall asleep and sleep through the night and the next day. I wake up at 9 pm on Wednesday. I go into the kitchen to get some dinner.

“Hey there sleepy head” Annabelle teases

I throw a dinner roll at her and stick my tongue out.

“Hey! That was a perfectly good piece of bread that you just wasted!” She picks it up and throws it back.

I leave it and walk to the fridge. Nothing. I sigh. I go to the cabinet and pull out some ramen noodles. I didn’t really want them, but I needed food.

After about 15 minutes the noodles were done. I poured a bit of the hot liquid into a bowl, and then drained the rest. I put the noodles and spice packet into the bowl. Just the way I like it!

I finished eating my noodles and put my bowl and fork in the sink. I walked back to my room.

“Rest well, Val, we got to look good for the guys!” she yells, giggling.

I laugh “Why? Ya think ya got a shot with one of them?!” I yell back and hear her laugh.

God I loved Annabelle. She’s just like a sister to me and now, my only family. I’ve never thought of my granddad as family, so, really, Annabelle and my grandmother are the only family I’ve ever had. I haven’t seen my parents since they left me when I was 8. I would really like to know why they left… Was it really because I wasn’t good enough?

I wake up as I hit the floor with a thud. I look up.

“What the hell?!” I yell as Annabelle looks over the edge of the bed at me.

“We got to get ready for BVB!” she says, shouting it loudly.

I don’t even remember falling asleep. Oh well, that didn’t matter. What mattered was that me and my best friend were gonna meet our heroes today. It’s only 8 am. Why the hell did she get me up so early, the venue’s a city away?

“Come on, Val, we got to get ready!” Annabelle practically sings.

“Why the show starts at 9?” I ask

“I wanna get there early so that we’re the first VIPs in line!”

“Fine.” I call back and close my door to change.

I can’t believe I was actually gonna meet these guys. They’ve saved my life… more than once…
ANNABELLE’S POV

How could Val have slept last night? I was so excited I couldn’t sleep. I actually get to meet my heroes today! I want to get there really super duper early! God I can’t fucking wait. I get dressed and put on some makeup, (got to look good for the guys right?) I go into the living room to see that Valerey hadn’t emerged yet.

“Hurry up or I’ll leave ya here!” I yell.

“Fine!” she shouts back

She comes out a couple minutes later.

“Why are we leaving so early? It’s only lunch time.” She says

“Shit, it’s lunch time!? We’re late!” I yell, teasing her.

We get in the car and, on the way to the venue, stop at Burger King to get some lunch. We hurry and eat because, at this point, Valerey can’t wait to get there either. We’re the first ones at the venue. God I’m so excited! Shortly after, more fans start to line up. Valerey keeps checking her phone.

“What’s wrong sweetie?” I ask with concern in my voice.

“N-nothing” she says. I can see her shaking and it’s not cold out.

“You’d better tell me girly.” I say, but regret it soon after. Am I pushing her, or..?

“No, really, I’m fine.” She says looking up at me and smiling.

I put my arms around her waist. I can feel her shaking. Why is she so nervous? She can’t have a panic attack here. Just then she looks down at her phone, shock written on her face.

“What is it?” I asked.

“They- they’re canceling the meet and greet…” She says slowly.

Just then a security guard, obviously one of the band’s, comes out and says that the meet and greet for tonight has been cancelled. My heart sank. You mean… I don’t get to meet my heroes? I’m about to cry and I feel Valerey breathing quickly and shallowly. Oh god, not here.

“Shhh, it’s alright Val, we’ll meet them soon, I promise.” I say and she starts to calm down a little. A few minutes later, they open the doors to let the fans in. We get front row and are so excited for this.

~Little did they know what was soon to come.~

Notes

Sorry if it's short I just felt I needed to end it there. The band comes in in the next chapter. Sorry I was late getting it posted, my internet was down. I've already got most of the next chapter written out so if there aren't any difficulties with the internet or my computer it should be up aroung 2 tomorrow.

I love you guys and remember, always stay strong.
