Wake me up and let me know you're alive

tonights gonna be a good night.

I looked at Vic and smiled. "Thank you." I said. He just smiled back at me. I found the hair dye I wanted it was blue. We went to the check out at left. I didn't see Rachel anywhere around. I wonder if she is going to lie to Tony. Who will he believe? Me and Vic, or someone he doesn't even know. We got in the car and Pantera continued playing. I just looked at Vic and then we both started head banging. It was fun, and funny at the same time. He laughed and then pulled out of the parking lot. My phone started ringing It was Tony. "Hey." He said. "Hey Tony. Hows school?" I asked. "Good, I wanted to ask you a question.." I could tell he was happy but sort of nervous." "Ask away." I said. "Well, Tonight at this club is a party thing. But it has a theme, Its a superhero theme. But I need a date and the date is supposed to be the one dressing up.. So Will you be my date?" Tony asked me. I smiled slowly and big. I didn't know what to say. Of course I would say yes but I mean, what if I ruin it? What if I fuck up "Yea i'll go." "Really? sweet!" He said and then we said our goodbyes. I hung up my phone. "What are you so happy about?" Vic said. "Tony asked me on a date to go to the superhero thingy at the club tonight." "Oh cool." Vic smiled. "Are you going?" I asked him. "Of course, were playing.." "Tony didn't say that you guys were playing." I said smiling. "Oh maybe that was supposed to be a surprise." "Well hopefully it is and that you told me. Because I hate surprises.." I giggled. "Just don't tell him I told you." Vic smiled at me and I smiled back. "So who you going dressed up as? We probably have to take you to the mall for clothes for it." "No, I already have a lot of.." I didn't finish my sentence cause I didn't want him to know who I was going as. "Hehe you almost said it." "Oh shut up." I smiled at him and laughed. I thought to my self. I'm glad i'm a huge batman nerd I have so much batman stuff. I have to go all out though cause I just feel like I have to. I smiled to my self. "Vic I need to get my stuff from my house." "Okay." He smiled we turned down the street to his house. His house wasn't that far from mine. We drove down to where one of the police cars sit to protect my house and to protect me and my friends. They guarded the house while I went in to get more of my shit that I needed for tonight and what I needed in general. I came out with 3 bags and another back pack. I got in Vic's car and we went back home to his house. I separated my everyday clothes from my tonight clothes. For my costume for tonight I had bracelets, necklace, shoes, a belt, shirt, jacket, All batman themed I loved my outfit and I couldn't wait for Tony to see. I looked at the clock but it was only 12:24 pm. Grr about 3 1/2 hours to wait. I took a shower and dyed my hair to kill the time. Then I passed out on the couch until Tony got home.. I woke up from a bad dream to see Tony sitting on the couch next to me watching tv. "Hey I see you dyed your hair its cute.." He said smiling. "Oh yeah I forgot that I did." I laughed. "So have you gotten your costume for tonight?" Tony asked. I smiled really big. I couldn't wait to show him my costume. "Yes I have it already." "Who are you going as?" He asked. "Your just going to have to wait and see." I stuck my tongue out at him. He laughed. "Well me and the band are going to practice, wanna watch?" I smiled, "Of course I would." We both got up from the couch and headed down to the basement. "Hey Chloey long time no see." Jaime said and smiled at me. "Yea its only been like 13 hours?" I laughed. I sat down on the couch. "Hey lets practice wonderless." Vic said. Every one agreed.
"I don't care if your beautiful lips
Exist out there 'cause I'm wonderless
Why the best can't make it in Hollywood
No more

It's like a long drag taken
Before the smoke hits the white sky
(Like the birds at night)
And it's fake just like the movies
Oh yeah

And I can't wait just to see you again
And your two faces are locked on mine
Had the worst time chasing the thought away
No hope (Oh no home)"

I loved Vic's voice. It felt comforting, it made me smile. But this song made me think about things. Like how I need to push them away because I don't want to hurt them or freak them out with my crazy moods and shit like that.

Because maybe I'm a fake
Maybe you're to blame
Maybe I'm a star
(Stumbling drunk light)
My mistakes I've made won't leave me alone
Oh no

And if you don't find me on the front page
Find a way to say that you saw me
And if you don't find me in a movie
Find a way to say that you knew me
And if you don't find me on the front page
(You and I got lost along the way)
Find a way to say that you saw me
(But this will end some day some way)

And if you don't find me at all
Then I won't care

(Oh, yeah)
If I could find a place for the holiday
Maybe I would call
You're a payphone away
From the mess that I've become
I'm destroying what I love"

I loved this song also. I loved the song they played yesterday and the song they played today. It made me forget that things were bad. "How did you like that song?" They asked me. I just smiled.. "It was awesome." They smiled and then they played a song called I'd rather die than be famous. I liked the name of the song. They song was pretty bad ass also. They kept on playing songs. I bet its the songs there are going to play live tonight at the club thing. They were done and they were putting all the stuff they needed for tonight at the club. "In case you didn't notice tonight were playing live." Tony said smiling at me. I laughed. "Cool I cant wait to see you guys live..again." I giggled. I looked at the time on my phone. "Hey what time are we leaving?" "Well it starts at 7:30 and were leaving around 6 so we can set up and stuff." He smiled at me. It was 5:30 pm. I smiled back and hugged him and then went to get ready. I grabbed the bag and went to the bathroom. I got a curler and a straightener. I plugged both in because I wanted my hair straight and curly. I pulled out all the batman costume stuff. Batman bra, Batman undies, leggings/pants, shoes, jewelry, wallet mask. Everything that would be awesome for tonight. I was going to do makeup but I had a mask and I mean if I wanna go in the crowd and stuff I will get sweaty. Its not like its my first concert. I curled and straightened my hair. The first time in a long time I felt pretty. I smiled at my self in the mirror. But then remembered how ugly I looked. I kinda felt sad again. I finished up in the bathroom and pulled on my batman sweat shirt. "Oh fuck, how am I going to cover up my scars and the ones in healing process If it gets to hot in the crowd ill have to take my sweat shirt off." I ran out to my bags and looked through to find my long sleeve black see through shirt. It would work perfectly and its very light so it wouldn't make me so hot. I found it and took off my sweatshirt and through it on. I went back to the bathroom to clean up after myself. I put my straightener and curler and dirty clothes where they belonged. And then I ran out to meet Tony and them. "Hey." I said and they all turned around. "Dude that is sick!" Mike said. I laughed. Tony smiled at me. "You look nice." He said. "I like the shoes" Vic said. I laughed. "Yea so do I haha." We both smiled. "So we all now know your a batman nerd.." Jaime added in. "Yup I love me some batman." I laughed again. They all smiled. "Tony is a Starwars nerd and ninja turtle lover." Jaime said. Tony laughed and kinda blushed like he didn't want me to know that he loved starwars and stuff. "I like starwars and ninja turtles also.." I smiled at Tony. "So are we ready?" "Yup." Everyone said. We got in the car and left for the club. "Hey this is the club where I saw Limp Bizket live before." I said. "Nice, I saw them live here too May 18th." Jaime said. "Oh my god no way me too. I got up on the stage when they sang break stuff." "High five!" Jaime said giving me a high five. We parked and got out. They brought there stuff to the backstage they were closing for some other new local band. "Were all going to have fun tonight." Mike said smiling at everybody. We had funny conversations before they opened the doors to get to the stage. "Hey you should crowd surf." Jaime said. "Yea you should." Mike agreed. I laughed. "It would be my first time ever tho." "So?First times always the best." Tony said smiling at me. "Okay okay ill do it." I laughed. "Do you know how to crowd surf??" Vic asked. "I've read how to crowd surf cause I almost did at Limp Bizket but I didn't but it was cool they got me on stage." I smiled. "Nice haha" Vic said.
