"So what do you think daddy?" Natalie asked as she sat in the patio in the condo she lived in. "He seems really nice but... I don't know." She took another sip of the Mike's Hard Lemonade and looked at the dark sky. She could see a couple lights from the concert that was probably over and she sighed heavily. She smiled, looking at her alcoholic drink. "I just wish I could meet him again." Natalie whispered. She sunk in her chair and rested her legs on the rail. She closed her eyes, putting her drink on the glass table next to her.

She opened her eyes to the bright sunlight and squinted. "Shit." She mumbled, yawing and rubbing her eyes. She sat up, lowering her legs back on the floor and got up, taking her drink with her. She dumped the remainder down the drain and threw the bottle away. She walked to her room, picking out an outfit, yawning a bit from sleeping outside. She grabbed her room key and walking out. She closed the door behind her. She took her phone out, dialing a number while she pushed the button for the elevator.

‘Sorry I couldn't answer. I'm a bit busy with work or I'm eating. Leave your message after the tone and I'll try to get back to you as quick as I can. Except if you’re my sister.’ A beep was heard and Natalie laughed. The elevator dinged and she stepped in, ignoring the other passengers.

"Hey Danny, it's me. I haven't heard from you in a while. How's it going? I got your letter about a package I'll get soon and it's already here. I just tracked it." Natalie smiled. "Call me when you can okay? I miss you, a lot. It's been three years since I last seen you. Maybe when I go back to New York I can see you. How does that sound? Bye Danny, lots of hugs and kisses." Natalie sighed and hung up. She was about to pocket her phone when she got another call.

"Package for Miss Del Rey and a steaming hot cup of Chi Tea with a nice shot of French Vanilla is waiting for her downstairs in the cafe along with a very handsome looking waiter on a break." Natalie laughed and shook her head as the doors opened in the lobby.

"Of course Mat. I'll be right there." Natalie smiled as she got out and pocketed the phone. She walked to the cafe and saw her friend Mat sitting in a table with her package and her hot cup of tea. Natalie smiled as she got closer and she felt a tap on her shoulder.

"Thanks for noticing that I was on the elevator." A whisper said in her ear and she turned to see Tony walking passed her with Vic and Jaime to get food. Natalie felt her heart flutter and she shook her head sitting across Mat. He smiled at her and he nodded over to Tony.

"Who's that?" Mat asked to her as she looked at the small package from her brother.

"He was at a concert last night, by where I was taking photos and I just happened to meet him." Natalie smiled, opening the box. Tony walked by and elbowed her as he sat in the table next to her. Natalie smiled, rolling her eyes and taking out a folded paper. She read it and smiled. "A late birthday present." Natalie smiled, giving Mat the letter and taking out the clear CD cases from the box.

"Nice, what CD’s did you get?" Mat asked, sitting closer to see them.

“I don’t know, he didn’t write the names of them.” I said, inspecting the CD’s and the letter again. Mat shrugged, taking a drink out of his own coffee. I placed my package aside, sighing and looking at Mat.

“Leave it to Danny to give you a present like that.” Mat smiled. I nodded, glancing over to my left and seeing Tony and the other two guys drink their coffee. Tony looked over at me, flashing me a smile and I rolled my eyes. Mat looked at both of us and let out a small laugh.

“Alright, details. What’s up with both of you?” Mat asked. I sat back into my chair and crossed my arms.

“Nothing is-“

“I was at a Pierce the Veil concert last night, hanging in the back during the intermission and I just happened to meet her there.” I nodded, huffing at Mat who chuckled.

“In the back?” Jaime asked, narrowing his eyes at Tony.

“You made it back stage Tone? How was the band? Where they nice?” Vic questioned him. Tony nodded, looking at both of them.

“Yeah, pretty nice guys, very understanding.” Tony forced a smile. I looked at the three of them and looked at Mat. He looked back at me, looking away.

“Natalie, help me with a couple things in my room please?” I nodded, waving goodbye at the guys and leaving with Mat. “That’s not weird.” Mat said, once we left.

“Tell me about it.” I laughed, following him to my room so we can listen to the music.

"What the fucking hell Tony!" Jaime yelled.

"Take fucking pride in the band we're in!" Vic yelled as well. His eyes were on fire on how pissed off he was.

"What the fuck is going on?" Mike yelled, sitting on the bed.

"Tony here met a girl last night during the intermission and she has no fucking clue we were the band. So instead of him telling her, he tells her that he went to see the band. Like if we weren’t in the band!" Vic yelled at Mike.

"Why Tony?! Aren't you proud that you're in this band? This is our dream Tone!" Mike asked him.

"It is my dream! But I really like her and she has no clue that I'm in this band! She loves Bring Me The Horizon and Suicide Silence and she thinks that most celebrities are self-centered assholes who sleep around and sing. She only likes the music." Tony yelled back. "Please just play along for me! When the time comes, I'll tell her. But just please play along for now." Vic calmed down and sat on his bed.

"I thought you were better than this. I thought you were proud of the band. We came so far in such a short amount of years. What about the fans? Huh? What if you take her out to lunch one day and people see you? What then? How will you explain this to her?" Vic questioned Tony. He stood up and walked to the kitchen, grabbing a Corona bottle.

"When I get there, I'll see what to do." Tony grumbled, taking a gulp from his beer. Vic shook his head.

"I want no part in this." Vic growled and walked out of the room, to the living room.

"Tony... Vic isn't mad about you putting the band second. But he has a point. What if she finds out and everything goes downhill? He’s only thinking of both of you." Jaime said, watching Vic leave the room and turn to Tony.

"I'll try my best to keep it a secret and then I'll tell her. Don't worry." Tony assured and Jaime sighed. Mike shook his head, clearly disappointed and Tony closed his eyes. Hoping that everything would work out fine.

"Invite her over to the barbeque later today. She seemed pretty nice." Jaime suggested.

"Yeah, we can all get to know her and we can lie to her about other things as well!" Vic yelled from the living room. Tony shot him a glare and shook his head.

"Vic clearly doesn't want her here." Tony grumbled.

"No, bring her here. I want to meet her." Vic said, glaring at him. "I want to meet the girl who captured your heart." Tony rolled his eyes.

"I don't have her number, I don't even know where she's staying in."

"Well then figure it out!" Mike said. "I'll go with you." Tony nodded and sighed.

"Alright, let's go."
