Falling in love with the Little Drummer Boy (Art drawn by me)

I threw on my shoes as I ran out the door. The only way I would make it is if I went now. I hit the corner and tucked around the side. When I looked back he pulled into the drive way. I made it!
I climbed on the bus and headed for my destination. I’m going! I’m going to make it! The bus ride was about forty-five minutes; from there was only a fifteen minute walk. I can’t believe I’m going to make it to their concert. As the bus moved on I did my make-up and hair as much as I could on a moving vehicle. The downside being no matter how much make up I wore I couldn’t get rid of the black eye or the busted lip, not completely anyways. Just enough for it to be unnoticeable in a crowded concert.
Anyways, my name is Remsy, but I go by Raven, at least that’s what my old friends called me. Anyways, I’m 5’5” and have deep brown eyes, and I mean deep. Half the time they look black its actually kind of cool, and basically the only thing I like about myself. I have a lopsided haircut, not shaven off but a lot shorter than the other side, its angled pretty cool actually, and dyed purple. My favorite bands are Pierce the Veil, All Time Low, We Came as Romans, and many more.
Pierce the Veil, Sleeping with Sirens, and All Time Low are having a show tonight and I’ve been waiting to go for months! I can’t wait, and I wouldn’t let him ruin it for me. I’ve been trying to get away for a year now, every time I think I can I’m knocked right back in my place. That’s why I had to run off while I had the chance!
I was listening to my music when I saw the theatre. I made it. The process to get in was relatively easy since I didn’t have a bag or a coat. I won tickets to the front pit. I would be right at the stage, especially since I had shown up 5 hours early so I could. The things we do for our bands.
Sleeping with Sirens opened and did an amazing job, followed by All Time Low, and of course girls threw their bras on the stage per usual. Ew. Alex even winked at me! At least I think he did, it could have been anyone. Finally the best part of the night. Pierce the freaking Veil! It’s everything I’ve dreamed of. I’ve been listened to them since high school; they’ve helped me through a lot in my life. Now I’m twenty-two and in love with the drummer boy.
The band came on stage and I saw him. His perfect body, amazing hair, and those tattoos. So sexy. They began their set and the crowd got pumped! As the songs went on the crowd would go crazy. I was doing my best to keep my ground but people were trying to push me down. I felt a pair of hands pull me back to my feet. When I looked up it was none other than Vic Fuentes. He winked at me as he let go of my hand. Wow!
He glanced down at me and a concerned look overcame his face. Shit! I pulled back and tried to get a few rows back from the stage. He went on with the show occasionally glancing in my direction.
Mike’s POV
Our band was up and we were kicking some serious ass. The crowd was going wild and it was such a thrill. I pounded on my drums like crazy, as I do every day until Tony’s solo hit. While he played I took a swig from my water when I saw Vic reach down off the stage. There I saw a cute girl being squished under the crazy mosh of people. Vic pulled her back up and I saw her, this gorgeous girl being smothered by all these insane fans. She was stunning; she had deep purple hair and beautiful dark eyes. I looked closer and saw that she looked a little beaten up. She was wearing a black crewneck with our band on it and black fingerless gloves. It was actually a really cute outfit looking closer. I could see her half black half purple shorts with black cat stockings. I chuckled at the thought of her running around on a normal day in those clothes.
Suddenly a look of alarm overtook her and she backed away from the stage. When Vic swung back around he looked really concerned, but Tony’s solo ended and we had to go on with the show. I’d hoped to see her again.

The show ended and we did the typical meet&greet with the fans. After the guys headed to the bus and I decided to go for a smoke run. I was all out of cigarettes and that just wasn’t allowed. The nearest twenty four hour convenience store was ten minutes from here.

As I drove down the road I noticed a small figure walking along the side of it. She turned into the same store I was heading to. Then I realized who it was, the girl from the show. My god she was beautiful. She looked a bit cold too, she should have a lot more on then that, for Christ sakes it’s November.
She walked into the store and was browsing through the candy isle. I decided to stop being a creep and go in to buy my cigarettes. The cashier rang me up while I looked around. She was on her way up to the register with two monster, two candy bars, and three bags of chips. Damn has she not eaten in days or something? She was almost here when she dropped everything.
“Shit.” She mumbled as she started picking it up.
I reached down to help her pick her stuff up and she thanked me, then she saw who I was.
“Fuck! Oh my god I’m so, so sorry!” She scrambled to grab everything.
“Woah, calm down, it’s fine.” She smiled at me and I smiled back. “Gorgeous smile.” She blushed. Cute.
“Not really, but, uh, thanks.” She was fidgeting. “I’m going to pay now.”
“Yeah, sorry, didn’t mean to block you.”
“Oh no, that’s not it! It’s just getting a bit heavy.” She giggled while she was looking down. Why was she always looking down? Then I saw it, a hint under her red lipstick and eye shadow. Bruises, quite a few, and a recently healed busted lip. How did she manage that? Did she get in a fight? Did someone hurt her?
She rang up her stuff and fished out her cash.
“10.82.” The blonde cashier said.
“God dammit.” She mumbled fumbling with her money. “Sorry, I thought I had a ten, but there’s only a five.” She pouted then pulled out her change. “Okay I’ll just take the monster.”
“Here.” I pulled out my wallet and put a ten on the counter. “Problem solved.” I smiled down at her.
“No. I can’t let you do that. One it’s my own fault and two you’re Mike Fucking Fuentes, no way that’s happening.”
“Oh so you’re a fan?” I winked at her and pulled her hand up and kissed the back of it. She blushed so hard.

Raven’s POV
He winked at me and kissed my hand! Oh my god he’s enjoying teasing me! I can’t believe this. MIKE FUCKING FUENTES IS FLIRTING WITH ME! Talk about a dream come true. Why am I so awkward! I mentally facepalmed myself.
“What was that?”
“Oops.” Guess it wasn’t so mental. “Nothing, sorry.” Stop being so nervous you idiot!
“Well okay, anyways I need a smoke, join me outside?”
“Sure.” I followed him out and we sat on the corner while he smoked. “So, is that the only reason you came out here?”
“Can’t live without my cancer.”
“You shouldn’t joke about that.” I scolded him.
“Yeah I guess that’s true.” He laughed. “Sorry kid.”
“Kid? Bitch I am 23 years old!”
“Look 18 to me.”
“Remind me to kick your ass later Fuentes.” Wow I’m bold! Go me!
“Ooh, so there’s a later?” He winked again!
“Nerd!” I bumped into him.
I looked around at the scenery, a cold chill swooped in and I shivered. Man is it cold out tonight. Just as I finished my thought I felt a jacket covering my shoulders. It was Mike. God he was so hot, his cigarette hanging from his mouth with a cocky little smirk, it was so attractive to me right now. I was never one for smoking, ever, but he didn’t make it seem so bad.
“Mike.”
“Shut up and take it, it’s too cold for someone as little as you to sit here without a coat.” He scolded me this time.
We sat there talking for an hour before Mike realized he should get home.
“Well, maybe I’ll see you around one day.” I told him as I handed him his jacket.
“Hang on to it, until next time. Later Raven.” He put it back on me and zipped it up. It’s like a dress on me. I don’t get why he calls me little, I mean, I’m an average height, and I weight one-thirty-five, that’s not so little to me.
“Thanks.” I shoved my hands in the pockets and he got in his car. I waved to him as he was backing up, then another car came storming into the parking lot nearly hitting the building. The door slammed open and I heard him roar.
“REMSY!” Shit, how did he find me?
“T-Todd.” I stuttered.
“Where the hell have you been!? You think you can just run the fuck off whenever you feel like!” He stormed over and grabbed me by Mike’s coat. “Who’s is this shit? Have you been whoring around you bitch!” He raised his fist at me but a tall figure grabbed my arm and pulled me behind him.
“What are you doing?” I looked over, Mike’s car was blocking the entire entrance and his door was still open. “Let’s go.” Mike pulled me away back to his car and opened the passenger door. He didn’t even let me protest before he shoved me in his car and slammed the door.
“So this is who you’re whoring around with! You stupid tramp! You better at least be getting paid!” Todd shouted. Mike ignored him completely and got in the car before driving off.

We rode in silence until he parked the car by the bus. “Who was he?” Mike was seething mad. His grip on the wheel seemed like it could break it right in half.
“N-Nobody important.” I whispered.
“Bullshit!” He punched the wheel. “Who was he Raven?!” He shouted. I couldn’t help but flinch away at his screaming. Almost instantly he calmed down and rested his hand on my leg. “I’m sorry, are you alright?”
“Y-yeah I’m fine.” He pulled me closer and whipped his thumb across my lip removing my lipstick.
“Did he do this to you?” I looked away.

“Look it’s a long story I don’t want to get into. Please drop it. Thank you for everything but I should go. Goodbye Michael.” I kissed his thumb still on my lips and exited the car. I couldn’t let him get involved in my personal life. He was a fucking rock star, he didn’t have time to deal with me.
“Wait.” Mike was caught up to me within a minute and grabbed my arm. “Rest here, at least for tonight.”
“Mike. I really don’t want to be a bother.”
“It’s not a bother, come on, you can use my bunk.” He smiled at me as he took my hand leading me to the bus.
“Okay.” I smiled at the ground happy that he was so pushy. Who would have thought THE Mike Fuentes would be taking my hand right now.
