I woke up and groaned. I had fallen asleep on my kitchen table again. I stood up. Fuck my back was stiff. Great I have a feeling today is just going to get better.

I walked over to my coffee pot at a rather slow pace and started it. I can't believe I fell asleep again writing another article. You see I work for a magazine called Kerrang!

I guess it's pretty fun. I've gone touring with some bands before and am now friends with FIR. They make act dumb a lot, but they are pretty awesome once you get threw their screwbally exteriors. I yawned, trying to remember my dream. Oh wait that's right I haven't had a dream since the beginning of my senior year of high school, or a good one since junior year. I hated the last half of high school so much. I try and not think about it, what's the point, it's too damn painful. I rolled up my sweatshirt sleeve and traced the white lines that existed there. I didn't even have to look to tell you which ones was the deepest. The one that was supposed to take me away from this wretched planet. I shook my head. No, no thoughts about that.

I jumped when my fancy electric coffee pot dinged. Why the hell did I spend so much money on that stupid thing? Now I'm struggling to pay rent. I glared at it while taking coffee pot like I could turn the thing into cash. I wish.

I took my cup with me over to my room and got dressed. I need to be at work in like 30 minutes so I should probably get a move on it.........

At work I made a beeline for my desk. No point in pretending to care about Suzzie's new break-up or the latest slut Jace had fucked. I started typing finishing my review on All Time Low's New Album 'Don't Panic.'

Pre-thoughts I typed. The album artwork is cool, but what the hell is the significance of the album name? The artwork is sick, as you guys know I love the zombie apocalypse and alien invasions. I give it a 7/10 for the pre-thoughts.

I started to listen to it online. I like the first song the reckless and the brave. Great chorus!

I satthere listening to the album and got caught up in one of the songs that suddenly caught my attention.

Make a wish on our sorry little hearts
Have a smoke, pour a drink, steal a kiss in the dark
Fingernails on my skin like the teeth of a shark
I'm intoxicated by the lie

I looked at what the song was called. A Love Like War, nice.

In the chill of your stare I am painfully lost
Like a deer in the lights of an oncoming bus
For the thrill of your touch I will shamefully lust
As you tell me we're nothing but trouble

I stared to sway to the music. The singing stopped for a second and I knew the chorus was coming.

Heart's on fire tonight
Feel my bones ignite
Feels like war, war

Wait a second I know that voice anywhere.

Feels like war, war
Heart's on fire tonight
Feel my bones ignite
Feels like war, war
Feels like war, war

I sat there and listened to the song completely numb with terror. It was him.

It was Vic.
