I pulled up to the venue, surprised at how early I had come. Few people were there once I had gone in but thankfully there was enough space at the front to fit me in. I squeezed through some people and got to the front. Now I just have to wait for the concert to start. After at least 10 miniutes of waiting an eruption of screams came from the crowd. I looked around trying to find the source of it all, then I caught it. Andy six had run on stage and the rest of the band had followed.

Andy- "Hey everyone, are you ready for an amazing time!"

Everyone screamed their replies but unlike the others I just stood there smiling up at that amazing lead singer. He moved onto the first song of the 'Set The World On Fire' album, New religion. Again eruptions spung from the crowd but still I stood and smiled. I hung on to the barrier just watching and sometimes I sang along. The songs carried on going from one to the next ut the strange thing was every few miniutes Andy Six would just glance at me sometimes stare. I would just smile and sometimes wave. One time he grinned at me, even though I hadnt grinned for a long long time, it was contagious so I had to respond. He had seemed shocked after that so I decided not to do it again incase I scared him off. I still wonder from this day how the band manage to get such meanings into such great lyrics. Thats one of the things I love most about Black Veil Brides. Whatever they have been through they have been strong enough to write it down in lyrics and then sing it to the world. I also love their individuality, the way they don't care what people think. They just want to be themselves and that is what helps me get through school, knowing that the band got through what im going through so why can't I. We may not be the same but we have the same problem's. I'm sure many people think the same as I do about the band but the rest... it appears they just like their music for the beats or they just like them for their looks. I have met many people who would like to be with the lead singer. Be able to be in his arms, but to me looks arent everything. It is true I would like to be with someone who is good looking but if I am being honest at this moment, everyone says I don't deserve someone like that because I am different so noone will ever accept me. I put my head down, because Andy Six kept glancing at me I didnt want to be the centre of attention. He would see me crying and probably might laugh at me for being so stupid. I let the tears fall as hair cascaded around my face concealing my emotions. Suddenly a loud bang came from the stage. I looked up shocked but knew my mistake once I had seen what at was happening. Andy Six was looking at me... he looked sad but then he saw my face now he looked really upset. He jumped off the stage and as soon as he had I looked back down. I was just stood there head down and tears rolling down my face when I realized footsteps were getting closer. I didnt want to look up at who it was. I was scared. Who would care about me? As far as I know... noone, not even my parents. Something pushed my hair out of the way of my face. I jumped back shocked, thinking someone was about to throw a punch in my face. I heard scuffling as I fell. Presuming that was people moving out of the way, I was right once I had landed I looked up to see faces staring down at me. None of them I knew except one, the one of my idol. THE Andy Six. He stood over me like the rest of the crowd, but he was different. He looked sad almost apologetic but everyone else they were laughing at me. I stood up and brushed myself off, I walked past the lead singer and retook my place at the barrier waiting for the concert to start back up again. Andy moved back to his post on stage with the band giving him strange looks. The crowd returned to their normal places too, except this time they made fun of me. Calling me names, pushing me about. I was ready to cry again, even strangers thought I was worthless. I was waiting for the music to begin but it never came. I found out why when Andy spoke into his micrphone.

Andy- "You know guys, I wrote my songs about how the bad things in life are just obsticles in the way and one day it will all stop. I wrote them about no matter how much people treat you like another piece of gum at the bottom of their shoe you have to be strong and stick up for your self." Everyone was cheering and screaming his name. Now he looked angry.

"I never wrote my songs about treating people like dirt, I never wrote about if someone was upset you just ignored them and I never wrote about treating people like their gum on the bottom of your shoe. I NEVER! So please I would like to know why my so called "fans" are treating probably my biggest fan of all like dirt? Everyone who has just been disgraceful to such a girl who I can see has been through a hell of a lot and doesnt deserve a bit of it is not a fan of mine. You do not listen to the meanings of my music. It is a disgrace to have people like you at my concerts." Everyone was silent. Noone said a word. It was then that I realized everone had treated me like dirt... everyone. Only the band had understood. I cried to myself again but since it was silent it seemed loud. I jumped over the barrier and onto the stage. I stood infront of Andy and I let out my thoughts at that very moment.

Scarletti- "Thank you. You are the only one who has ever stuck up for me. You are the only one who has ever cared, not even my parents. That's why after this concert I planned on running away, but after all this after I saw how many people really hated me after not adressing me in here. I have realized I don't belong on this planet. I dont belong at all. So thank you Andy. You are now my one and only friend." I walked off the stage leaving a dumb struck Andy. Just as I was about to reach the doors, I felt arms wrap around my waist. I stood still not knowing who it was although I kind of had a hunch.

Andy- "If you leave now, you will leave with a hell of alot of grief. So im going to make a deal with you. If you come with us where you will have friends and people who can learn to love you, you can be happy but if you leave you will live an unhappy life always reflecting back on this day. If you come with me I can help you forget. You will forget your grief and will never feel it again. I promise."

I turned round to him and saw him smile.

Scarletti- "Would you really take me in? Would someone really care for me? Would someone really learn to love me?"

Andy- Yes, Yes and im absouloutly positive."

I grinned wide and hugged him tightly.

Scarletti- "Oh thank you so much. I will never know how to make this up to you, for taking me in and for being willing to help."

Andy- "I know how, you can go out on a date with me. Tommorow to be exact so there thats me owed."

I giggled slightly.

Scarletti- "Stop messing with me, Ive been messed about far too much. Please dont be joking."

Andy- " I promise im not, I want to learn more about you. I want to take away your pain. I want to hold a beautiful girl like you in my arms."

He hugged me tighter and tighter and then let me go only to grab my hand and pull me backstage leaving the curious, unpitied crowd behind. The band was backstage and they greeted me with sorrowful filled faces.

Andy- "Hey guys, weve got a new recruit. She will be joining us and I know what your going to say, but I dont want to hear it. Shes just like me but a few years later, she doesnt know what she has to live for and she has no one to care and love her. Thats what were going to do. Were going to look after her and make her forget all her sad memories, well not forget but make them fade. She deserves a good life and at the minuite shes not living one. So she will from now on. What do you say guys?"

I looked at Andy, tears filling my eyes. How could such a wonderful man care about a sad girl like me? Why does he care? The guys looked me up and down but I couldnt tell what they were thinking, there faces were blank. The guys huddled up together and Andy gave me a reasurring nudge. The guys came towards me and Andy which made me hide behind his back.

Andy- "Hey there not going to hurt you, their not like that"

I stepped out from behind Andy's back again to face the music.

Ashley- "Welcome aboard sister"
