Chapter 1- Freedom and Meeting the love of my Life
Today I finally feel free. I am moving in with my boyfriend, of one year and two months; Brandon. He is the wonderful vocalist in the pretty popular band by the name of Incubus. We met backstage in Los Angeles, on their huge tour for their newest album If Not Now, When? There had also been another band that opened for Incubus that Ale and Bri were in love with; called Black Veil Brides. There were about 20 of the luckiest in the people in the world, including me, that went backstage to meet these artists; who create some of the beautiful things; in this world that is full of war, greed, hate, cruelty and death. While I was waiting with my two best friends, Brianna and Ale, we were waiting for the best moment of my life to happen.
Then Brandon, Mike, DJ Kilmore, Ben and Jose came in a sweaty, tired but excited and relieved that they just rocked out and pleased their thousands of fans. I couldn’t stop staring at them and they looked at all of us backstage and smiled, and then Brandon picked his face up from his towel and made eye contact with me and with a little smile. Then they went down the hall; I’m assuming to their dressing rooms. A rush went through my eyes to my chest to my feet. I literally was about to faint until Brianna through water in my face and said,
Bri: “Stay with us Andrina, they’re gonna come back!”
I felt like everything was perfect and that just because he smiled at me, which meant to me that he fell in love with me at first sight. But then I come back to reality and think about his past girlfriends; who were models and I was just one of the millions of fans. He could care less than a rat’s ass about me and he was just being nice and smiled. I thought to myself that if I act fan girl and speechless they are gonna think I’m really weird and they are gonna want to get as far away from me as possible; so I’m just gonna act like they are another person that I have never met and I will be nice and talk normal. When really they are like gods to me. I felt like it had been hours waiting for them to come out, but it had only been seven minutes. Ale and Bri were on their iPods, when all I could think about was seeing his perfect face again.
Then they came in tired but still with a big smile on their faces, which is another reason why they are such a great band. My heart was beating faster and faster and I didn’t know what to do. I was so nervous that they might here it and think something was wrong with me; which there was sort of. I tried to stay as still as I could and not seem like the huge obsessive freak, I really was. Brandon was on the other side of the back stage with Mike, signing fans shirts. And they started crying and their parents took them out. Then Jose and Ben went up to us and I jumped up and they signed my Incubus album and I took a picture with them. I was so happy but I was still waiting for Brandon. Brandon was working on this beautiful portrait that he just started and it looked like he was started by drawing long wavy hair. We went near him, and tried it not to make it as creepy as we already were. He looked up at us and I felt the same rush go through my body; but ten times more. He asked us if we enjoyed the concert and we all started saying how awesome we thought it was and how great he was. He chuckled and told us to sit on the couch next to him. Of course I sat closest to him and I couldn’t believe that this was actually happening. His seducing brown eyes looked directly into mine as he started talking about how nervous he was and about his portrait he was working on. For some reason he kept looking back and forth at me and his drawing. Then the vocalist from BVB went up to Brianna and Ale and invited them to an after party. They wanted me to come with them, but I wasn’t going to leave Brandon any time soon. So I told them I would be there in about an hour. After they left I looked around and it was only Brandon and me.
