When arrived at the venue I didn't get my cases, I was going let them have their fun. I could always buy a few new things at some point. I liked the idea of new clothes, I could use new some clothes in fact. I entered the venue, on my own. I was the first one, or so I thought when I heard a load of noise. Some thick accents ringing through. Bring Me The Horizon. "Why hello there..." Oli spoke up first when they spotted me.

"Hey. Sounds like a party you're having." I smiled at him. I don't think he recognised me. I mean I have grown up since the last time he saw me.

"Yeah, we can keep it down. Don't fancy making a pretty girl like you jobless." I laughed a little at his comment. He looked at me, with a questioning yet confused look smothered across his face.

"You'll know soon enough." I smiled before heading off towards the stage area. I had to see how big this place was. I had to see it, it was like some for ritual for me. As I reached the stage area I stood smack bang in the middle of it, staring out. It looked like it was never ending. Imagine what it would look like full of thousands of people, screaming, sobbing at the thought of their idols, the reason they keep on fighting, are stood on that stage again performing for them. "I can do this daddy." I whispered to myself.

"As soon as the gear is set up, you can have a play around." smiled Vic who was now standing beside me. When did he get here? I smiled and nodded. I would quite like that. We headed down to the dressing rooms, where I was stopped by our tour manager. He passed me one of the tour programmes. I sort of just stared at the front.

Pierce The Veil World Tour
Feat. Special Guests.

In Memory Of Guitarist Tony Perry

I stared at the picture a little longer. This was really happening wasn't it? I was about to play to the world just in the sole memory of my deceased father. I looked up to see the door that had 'Pierce The Veil' on it. Please tell me I have my own dressing room. I sigh inwardly hoping I would. I spotted Kellin and the rest of Sleeping With Sirens further down; before they saw I quickly went into my dressing room.

Jaime was led on the mini couch in there, Mike was sat on the floor leaning against the couch tapping away on his phone. I decided to get check mine and as I did, I saw three new notifications from Twitter.

@Kellinquinn: touring the world with @MissAdrianaPerry couldn't be happier :-) - Kellin xx

@ptvmike: in the UK with SWS, BMTH and my beautiful niece @MissAdrianaPerry #stoked

@piercethevic: this is an experience we'll never forget, be nice to our guest @MissAdrianaPerry

I shook my head a little, god they were such nerds. But hey, who could blame them? I was the only girl on this tour that I was aware of. I was hoping someone had brought a girlfriend with them, but then again who'd bring a girlfriend? It was basically the lads on tour and 1 girl who just so happened to know every single member thanks to her rock star dad.

"Daddy, where are we going?" I giggled sat on the top of the dresser.

"We're going to watch me rock the stage." he smiled back.

I smiled to myself as I remembered that, as I sat down at the dresser. He would always sit there, with me sat in front of him as he prepared himself for a show. Before I knew it, it was time for a soundcheck.

♠ ♠ ♠

I stopped playing, half way through. Making the guys turn to me. "It doesn't sound right." I groaned, putting the guitar down and sitting down on the stage. We've managed one song, so far. Because I just couldn't keep doing it right, sounded horrible. I sounded horrible compared to the rest of them.

I don't know where the emotions came from but I broke down. Pouring my heart out. I couldn't get it right for the life in me. The pressure was too much for me, I could never be as good as dad, no matter how much I wanted to be just like him up there on that stage I just couldn't do it. I stood up and ran off, straight out the venue, straight onto the bus and straight into my bunk. What possessed me to take on this tour?

I sat in my bunk, crying. Until I pulled out a piece of a paper and a pen.

Dear Dad,

It's the first day of the tour. We're due to perform in a few hours time and here I am sat in my bunk crying and missing sound check. I don't know what to do. I can't possibly fill your shoes, I just want to be able to perform for you. Remember how you always told me that one day I'd be rocking the stage, well I can't do it. Not without you. I hope you see this, I hope mom does to. If you do find the strength and help me get through this.

I love and miss you.

I folded it up, put it in an envelope and into a box that rested at the bottom that read 'Letters For Dad' on it. I'd keep them all there, keep them all safe until I returned home. I laid down, closing my eyes letting the tiredness consume me sending me into a deep sleep.

♠ ♠ ♠

"Adriana, wake up sweetheart. 1 hour before show time." a soft voice called. I stirred, letting my eyes flicker open a second. I pushed whoever it was away before turning back to them. I didn't want to face the screaming crowd tonight. I could hear some noise outside the bus.

I opened my eyes fully and turned back around. "They're calling you." smiled Mike. Law and behold, I could hear my name being chanted. "You should go meet them." I nodded before getting up. I freshened myself up, change into some news clothes and headed out the door. There was a small barrier surrounding the bus. I shrugged and continued my way over to the fans. Some of them were lovely, some of the were mean. I took photo's, signed things, chatted with a few of them.

Some of their stories put tears in my eyes. One girl told me how she was a self-harmer and that one day she had met my dad. She had promised him that she would stop. Now 3 years later, she was still clean from self-harm. That she was so much better. "He'd be proud of you sweetheart. Stay there, I'll be back in a second." I smiled at her. I went over to the guys, telling them a little of her story. I asked them if I could bring me up on the stage, give her some backstage passes and some tickets to another few of our gigs here in the UK.

They all agreed. I walked back over to her, asking security to let her through the barrier. I told her to follow me and into the venue we went. They've done so much for fans like this, I was going to do something for them. "I can't thank you enough..." she kept saying to me. She was smiling at me, a smile so wide I thought her cheeks would burst.

After a small meet and greet with the other two bands, she handed out the were the rest of the crowd would be to watch the show. She didn't know about my plan to bring her up on the stage, that was just a little surprise for her. "You know, you should do this at every show." I heard Vic's voice behind me.

"Pardon?" I questioned.

"Bring one of them up on stage and sing to them." He patted my back and ran on as we were called. I laughed a bit, before heading on. The stage was covered with a thick piece of fabric. No-one could see us through it and we couldn't see through. As May These Noises Startle You In Your Sleep ended meaning the beginning of Hell Above it dropped. I was playing my heart out, the screams, the smiles I could see gave me the energy to keep playing.

After a few songs, I stood up to the mic. This was it. "Before we head into the next song, I want to talk to you guys about a girl I met today. I had a long conversation with her, she told me how my dad saved her life. She's been 3 years clean and I want to do a little something for her...." I scanned the first row, looking for her. I found her, getting security to bring her up on the stage. She sat down in the chair.

♠ She sits up high surrounded by the sun
One million branches and she loves every one
"Mom and dad, did you search for me?
I've been up here so long I'm going crazy" ♠

The smile on her face, the tears streaming down her face. She looked so happy.

♠ And as the sun went down we ended up on the ground
I heard the train shake the windows
You screamed over the sound
And as we own this night
I put your body to the test with mine
This love was out of control
3-2-1 where did it go?

Now don't be crazy
Yes now of course you can stay here.
Been in a touring band for going on ten years.
Big deal, I guess you're official"
I only said it 'cause I know what it's like to feel

By now I was holding her hand, she was singing along. The crowd were singing along. I had one more trick up my sleeve for this girl. I continued to the rest of the song, then it reached Jenna's bit. I passed her the mic. She looked at me confused. "Go on sweetie." I said to her. She took the mic from me, singing into it. I finished up the song, before hugging her and telling her to go backstage.

The rest of the night went without ease. I felt good as I played, I felt good I was able to do something for someone tonight. If the rest of the tour went like this, then it would be perfect and easy.

But nothing ever goes perfect or easy for me.
