   Chapter 1 
   Bangin on our desk. 
   “Summer,summer,summer”Like from the High school Musical.The bell rung me Val,and Carissa ran down the halls screaming.Junior year was finally over.All the shit and struggles we went through are done.Jumping into Val’s red Mustang. 
   “I just can't wait till’ the freaking concert” I say in the backseat. 
   “Yes same Joan I agree.Just to see the Black Veil Brides perform is amazing” throwed in Carissa rolling down the windows playing sleeping with sirens. 
   “No what makes it awesome is that we’ll be with Joan on her first ever concert” 
   “Black veil Bride concert” I added looking at her through the rearview mirror. 
   “Yea that too” chuckling to herself we pulled up to her house.Val’s house looked like a mansion with its white pillars and three garage door. 
   “This is what you get when your dad is a surgeon” 
   “haha true” walking in her twin brother ran past her. 
   “Logan,Lucas calm down” she said pushing past them. Val’s mother in the kitchen putting cookies on a plate. 
   “You girls want a cookie” 
   “No mom save it.” said Val running up the steps to her room.looking back i walked up to her mother. 
   “I’ll just take one Mrs.Kelly” I say grabbing two cookies.Jumping on her bed we all layed in our spots looking at black veil bride posters. 
   “Just imagine in two weeks we’ll be there with them” I say touching the screen over Andy’s face. 
   “i know right just to be in Ashley presents will be enough for me.”Said Carissa in a dreamy voice. 
   “No Jinxx and CC’s there awesome.”Val said sitting up. 
   “yea,yea you say that but Andy’s a fucking GOD so before Jinxx,Ashley,Jake and CC you know Andy is number one.” I put in looking at the girls.Shrugging there shoulder they agreed i mean Andy Biersack no one can beat.He’s an angel in himself.Two weeks was a long time to wait to be in all their presents.the day’s went by slowly hanging off my bed counting down the days. me and the girl calling and texting trying to make the day go by faster.Working three days a week did it. 
   “Love you mom be back later” i say pulling on my jacket. 
   “what do you mean Joan” said my mom walking from the living room with my baby brother Josh in her arms. 
   “I have a new job at the Record store.I told you last night”looking confused. 
   “was i asleep” 
   “kinda but you talked back.saying how happy you were for me.” rubbing her temples and looking at me. 
   “Okay just be careful.when do you get off” 
   “nine or ten but I’ll be fine” Kissing my brother’s forehead and giving my mom a hug. i walked out the door.Walking down the apartment complex i walked to the record store. I saw a person behind the front desk. 
   “Hi” coming closer i saw the dude behind the desk was sleep.nudging him he only stirred a little pushing on him harder. 
   “uh Hello” coughing and sitting up. 
   “yeah whats up” 
   “I work here and i don't know what you guys want me to do” 
   “just start in the back”nodding my head i walked along the back door.opening the door it smelled like boxes padding along the wall to find the light switch.almost falling over i balanced myself back up straight. 
   “Oh my gosh” gasping the room was filled with boxes stacked high against the walls.rare band posters and record machine’s.opening up a box it was filled with CD’s.picking up more there were more CD’s.poster and brand band t-shirts all new.looking around not knowing what to do i put boxes with what band.Pan!c at the Disco,Sleeping with Sirens,Pierce the veil and more.staying later than intended i  came home around one in the morning.Sneaking up in my room laying down on the cushion it felt nice. above my head was my calendar only five more days till’ the concert.Looking up smiling i turned over and closed my eyes waiting for the day to come. 
   
   
   
   Chapter 2 
     
   “Hey Jack” I yelled from the back room in the record store.hearing him running to the back. 
   “Yeah” 
   “Can you put this box on the top shelf” i say pointing.picking it up he put it on in front of the KISS poster. 
   “No put it in front of a blank wall not a poster”  mumbling he moved it again once more putting it in front of  Mötley Crü. 
   “Dude just stop let me do it” standing on top of a chair I slid it across and left it near the bare wall. 
   “well you coulda done that the first time.” 
   “well i know not to ask you any more” i say stepping down looking at him. 
   “why does it even matter” Looking at him like he was stupid. 
   “what” 
   “did you just ask me that” 
   “yeah” looking him in the eye. 
   “This is a record store first of all. KISS and Mötley Crü are legendary bands of all times like the best and you're gonna cover their posters.I don't know why you work here if you don't give a shit about your job” putting up his hands. 
   “woah woah. no one’s gonna come back here and see stupid Fag guys who wear fucking eyeliner” Breathing in and out i almost fell out.This bitch did not just say that.There’s only a couple fight’s that are worth the fight. sucking my teeth i pointed out the door. 
   “what?” putting my head down i pointed.still standing like he belonged 
   “Get the fuck outta here Jack” walking out. i Just leaned against the wall looking at still half of the room was full of boxes.putting my headphones i played “They don’t need to understand” working on the floor with boxes between me.The hair on my neck began to stand up slowly turning around. 
   “oh! my fucking gosh Carissa damn you scared the shit out of me” I say holding my chest. 
   “haha sorry! but come on” 
   “what do you mean?” i say standing up closing up the box with Linkin Park. 
   “The concert is in two days. we have to find you something to wear.” 
   “why can’t i just wear my usually?” I say looking down at my black converses,jeans and red aeropostale jacket.shaking her head. 
   “no hunny we are meeting Black veil brides we need something pretty for you to wear” 
   “Okay…”clapping her hands together. 
   “Okay come on then we have to go get you an outfit” grabbing my backpack i walked out with her. Val was sitting in her car and waved through the window.Running to get in the back. 
   “Hey Girly” i say smacking her in the back of the head. 
   “Hey Bitch” said Val we bust out in laughter. 
   “she’s my bitch” carissa said throwing her stuff in the back of the seat.all of us died laughing in the backseat.Ronnie Radke “asshole”started playing. 
   “OMG turn it up”i say screaming.with the windows down and the wind blowing through my hair. 
   “Yeah, maybe it's in my nature cause I never wanna date her.But she's like a shot of vodka cause i always gotta chase” we sing.Looking out the window as other cars zoomed past us. I couldn't wait to the concert.literally counting down the hours.Arriving at Hot topic I looked around.they had new black veil bride shirts. 
   “Ohhh I like this one” i say pointing as the guys were in black and red. 
   “same”said Val looking at one in her size. 
   “It’ll look good with your red highlights too” 
   “Ohh yesh.Imma take this one”Looking around i saw another good one with them all in black.
