We all pulled up to the party, there were already kids everywhere. We could hear music blaring from inside the car. I knew this was going to be a crazy night for sure. We all climbed out of the car and began walking over to the door.

"So who's DD tonight?" Jaime asked.

"Not me!" we all yelled.

"Woah, calm down guys. Um.. 1-2-3, not it!"

"Not it!" I yelled. Everyone yelled it as quickly as they could, but Vic ended up being the last to say it.

"Wow, it's always me," he laughed. "Oh well."

We got to the door and we were greeted by a tall, leggy blonde girl.

"Ohmygod! Aren't you guys the band that's going to play tonight?!" she slurred.

"Hell yeah we are," Mike said, stepping inside. She handed us all drinks. "Aren't you the girl that's going to be on my dick tonight?" he smirked, causing me to choke on my drink from laughing. Vic came behind me and patted my back. She scoffed and walked away.

"Smooth, Mike," Jaime laughed.

"Hey, it was worth a try. She'll come around," he smirked.

"Say sorry to Carlee for making her choke on her drink," Vic laughed. He laughed and turned to me, giving me an apologetic look.

"Sorry for making you choke on your dick," he laughed. "Wait, shit!" We all started laughing and my face was going red from it. "I meant sorry for making you choke on your drink. Oh my god I'm done here," he laughed, walking off. We followed behind him and we were greeted by the owner of the house, also the guy who had asked them to play for them.

"So we have all of you equipment set up outside, you guys play at 11. It's 10:30 right now, so whenever you guys want to start getting ready," he said. They nodded and Vic grabbed onto my hand and we followed the boys outside. There were lots of people out here already, some up on the stage pretending to play their instruments. Tony, Jaime and Vic all jumped up on the stage and told them to put it all down, and Mike and I just laughed.

"They're funny," I laughed.

"I know, they're a little protective of their gear," he laughed. Just as he finished, some drunk kid jumped onto the stage and got on his drums. His face fell and he started running over there. "Hey get the fuck off of my drums!"

I laughed and finished off the rest of my drink.

"Hey guys, I'm gonna go get another drink!" I called, knowing they probably couldn't hear me. They kept pulling their stuff away from the drunk kids. I laughed, "Okay, well uh. Bye." I said, walking back into the house. I walked into the living room and over to the keg, filling my cup back up. I took a few sips from it. I shrugged and then downed the whole thing.

"Woah, girl, calm down," someone laughed from behind me. I turned around to see Aubrey. I rolled my eyes and filled the cup back up.

"No thanks," I said, walking away. She pulled my arm as I passed her so I was facing her again.

"Do you want another pill?" she smirked.

"Fuck off, Aubrey. I swear to god I will fucking kill you." I spat. Did I really just say that though?

"Damn, I don't know what I even did to you," she said. I turned back and laughed.

"You're fucking kidding right?"

"No, I mean, I've been nothing but a friend to you," she smirked.

I took in a deep breath. It isn't worth it, just go back outside.I walked away from her and started heading back outside.

"You better watch your back," she called. I stopped, clenched my jaw together, but continued walking outside. The boys had successfully gotten their instruments back from the drunken kids. I walked up on the stage with them and sat down, letting my legs hang off the edge. I took a few sips of my drink and set it down, laying back and looking up at the sky. Vic's face appeared, blocking my view of the sky.

"Mooooove," I laughed.

"Are you okay?" he asked. "You look like you're pissed off or something,"

"What? No, I'm fine," I lied, sitting up. He gave me a disapproving look. "Really Vic, I'm fine," I smiled. He gave me another look, obviously not believing me, but went back to his guitar. They all began tuning their instruments and Mike began playing his drums, checking out the sound of them. The sound echoed off of the house, sending vibrations all throughout the stage. I smiled. I loved the feeling of the vibrations from the music. Kids began piling outside, so I took it as my cue to jump off the stage and join the crowd that was beginning to form. It was nearing 11, and now most of the people from the party were outside. The same kid that was talking to the boys earlier came up on the stage, telling Vic something. He nodded and the kid got off the stage, and with that, the boys all strummed on their guitars.

"What the fuck is up?!" Vic yelled into the microphone. Some of the people from the crowd yelled back a reply. Vic smiled and went up to the mic again. "We're going to start off with a song called Besitos," he smiled. "Here we go," he mumbled. They all began to play, and kids were already freaking out.

You're my favorite explosion..
A violin with no hands plays symphonies with no words.
A drowning boy with no voice prays someone up there's telling me,
You'd better not get back up! Kids started cheering as he screamed into the microphone.
I spit my heart into this red cup.
I'd better pick it back up, it might ruin your night.

I told myself I'm tired of holding up your backup plans.
Go down your list and be satisfied if all you have is not enough.


(True love comes from more than just the heart)


She said paint a picture on me,
throw your dress up and your heart away.
Yeah, I heard what you said.
A friend of a friend, these strangers at the party never paid.
And if that doesn't turn you on.
I'll keep talking till something does.
As we're covered in sand, you roll over and smile.

I told myself I'm tired of holding up your backup plans.
Go down your list and be satisfied it's all you have.
And until that day,
I'll steal you flowers from the cemetery, red roses.
Red rose of the dead.
How does it feel to breathe oxygen inside her head?

Kids were cheering so loud, including me. They sounded absolutely amazing.

So say it, say I'm in love, cause you called me
crying from your job, said you just got fired.
And you don't have a backup plan,
so don't expect me to understand.

A diamond bullet and a gun made of gold, she was covered in blood last seen in San Francisco
Yeah!

We all breakdown.
Sometimes the bedroom walls become my only friends,
but they were there from beginning to end.

I'm tired of holding up your backup plans.
Go down your list and be satisfied it's all you have.
You know I've never held a gun in my life,
but now I carry one around in case I see you tonight.
Bedroom walls.
Oh, these bedroom walls.
Oh, I hate what it tastes like.

Everyone was screaming, everyone was cheering, everyone was just having an amazing time. The boys were smiling as wide as they could, and it was contagious. I had forgotten all about the incident with Aubrey earlier, I was having a good time, even if I was alone in the crowd. I didn't care. I was watching my boyfriend and my best friends playing their hearts out, having the best time ever. They were happy, and when they were happy, I was as well. Vic stepped up to the mic again, smiling as he spoke.

"So how are we all doing tonight?" he asked. Everyone screamed and cheered. "Alright, this one's called I Don't Care if You're Contagious," he said, looking down at me and smiling. I smiled as wide as my face would allow me to go. I remembered how he wrote this for me. It made me happy to hear he wanted to play it for everyone here. He smiled and they began playing.

I smiled the whole time they played, they deserved this. They deserved everything they've been working so hard and long for. I was so happy for them. They ended the song and began to play The Boy Who Could Fly.

Freeze!
It's time to take you home,
it feels so early but I promised I would bring you to your door.
Now our lips are numb!
As we walk, sharing warm alcohol
That kiss tastes like summer.

I hope you like the stars I stole for you,
One hundred million twinkle lights in neon blue.
I'll be the brightest someday!
I'll be the brightest someday!
I'll be the brightest, you'll see!

Don't rain on my parade, it's gonna glow in the dark.
I like it better when you can't keep warm.
Don't ruin a perfect thing, a perfect thing.
The boy on the blue moon dreams of sun.

Now as the rain falls like shattered pieces of glass from the sky,
we bleed like water colors and drunken pastels down the stairways.
And I ask myself, why do I still pray?
When will it end? And who fucking cares?

I swear to God I did what I could.
I practically begged you, I pretended everything was fine.
A soul sacrifice, an American nightmare.
I'd rather be dead.

Don't rain on my parade, it's gonna glow in the dark.
I like it better when you can't keep warm.
Don't ruin a perfect thing, a perfect thing.
The boy on the blue moon hears a nightmare in his head.

I'll bet you money as you're running to the bathroom,
you barely started drinking but your beauty never stopped you.
You died in California by the sulfur and the sea.
I guess I never should have loved you,
but I do forever 'cause you loved me.

And I break my glasses as I fall in the street!
If you were gonna leave this world how could it be without me?
Now it's all over my tongue and still it has no taste,
'cause without you there is no me.

I smiled, remembering the first time I heard him play this song.

There's no me at all.
Sometimes love dies like a dog.

The instrumental played and they got to the last part of the song. Vic stepped up to the mic, but completely froze. I furrowed my eyebrows, did he forget the lyrics or something? Why did he just stop singing? Tony, Jaime and Mike all gave him a weird look before looking at each other, probably deciding if they should continue playing. I looked at Vic, his eyes were locked on someone in the crowd. His eyes were full of hate, anger.. I followed his gaze over to the crowd and tried to search for who he was staring at. I scanned over the area and finally my eyes met what his were fixed on.

Ethan.
