Liz's POV

Two months later, we had moved into my house, I had learned all of Black Veil Brides's songs on most of the necessary instruments, including acoustic guitar, drums, electric guitar, keyboard, bass and violin.

We were packing to go to the NYC Alternative festival. I was loading stuff onto the tour bus and the others were still packing and helping me. Josh had left two hours ago with Tyler in their bus.

"Right! Is everyone packed? Is your stuff on the bus? Have you chosen your bunks? Are you ready to perform? Who has th-" Andy said, rushing everyone and getting stressed.

"Andy, babes, calm down. We've all got our stuff, we are all ready to go, relax" Ashley said, interrupting him.

I picked up baby Xavier from her crib, perching her on my hip and carrying her outside to the bus. I put her in her car seat and sat next to her, waiting for the others to join us.

Jake jumped on the bus next and went to sit down, opposite me. Jinxx and CC came in next and sat next to Jinxx. Andy and Ash jumped in the front.

It took around an hour and a half to drive to the festival, where we were directed to the performers field. We parked the bus and jumped off to stretch our legs and get our bearings.

I walked into the arena to see hundreds of volunteers setting up tents and stages. I saw a stall selling programmes and I decided to buy one, since I had no idea who was playing.

I looked at the lineup to see many familiar names, inclusions Twenty One Pilots, panic! at the disco, Fall Out Boy, Green day, Pierce The Veil, Sleeping With Sirens, Bring me the horizon along with a few others. Headlining was apparently 'a surprise that everyone should see'. A little cheesy, maybe I should come though. Anyway, I ran back to the bus in excitement, carrying the leaflet with me, safely tucked into a pocket inside my jacket.

"Guys, guys, guys!" I yelled as I entered the bus. Jake, CC and Ash were sat playing cards while Xavier slept.

"What is it, lizard? I'm about to win!" CC said, feigning annoyance.

"I got the lineup!" I squealed excitedly, showing them the leaflet.

CC grabbed it from me and squealed with me when he saw the lineup.

"I haven't seen Fall Out Boy in forever! Let's go and meet them" CC said, grabbing my wrist and striding our of the bus, dragging me behind him.

"Wait-wait-wait I'm not ready! I'll fangirl and embarrass myself! Please don't d-" I was cut off by CC knocking on the door of Fall Out Boy's bus. The door was opened by Joe.

"Um, who are you?" Asked Joe uncertainly.

"I'm CC, this is Liz Purdy, we're from Black Veil Brides!"

"Oh! I love your music! Come in!"

We stepped inside and I looked st their bus. It was identical to ours but less black.

Patrick came out of the bedroom and eyed me in a confused way.

"Joe, who are they?"

"Oh, we are CC and Liz from Black Veil Brides!" CC said excitedly.

"Shut the fuck up, CC. You're giving me a headache" I said as I tried my best not to fangirl.

"Oh! Hi!" Patrick said, running over and shaking our hands. I blushed uncontrollably and started to freak out slightly.

"Are you a new member?" Asked Patrick.

"Yeah, I am. My first performance is tomorrow night. I'm the acoustic guitarist and violinist, along with backup and spares in other instruments"

"Nice! Welcome to the musical world! Y'know, I was just about to go and get some food with Panic! At The Disco, you wanna come?"

"Um, alright! CC, tell the others where I'm going" I said, addressing CC who was in deep conversation with Joe.

I walked outside with Patrick and we strolled to panic!'s bus.

Brendon urie opened the door and I did my best not to squeal.

"Bren! Meet Liz Purdy she's a member of Black Veil Brides. Liz, this is Brendon urie" Patrick said.

"I know, it's nice to meet you!" I said in an embarrassingly high pitched voice.

Brendon put his hand out and I took it, shaking for an awkwardly long time.

I started blushing as Kenny, Dallon and Dan came outside.

"Right, let's go get some food! Liz, are you allergic to anything? Vegetarian?" Patrick asked.

"Not really, I will have whatever you are having"

"Nice! I see a fish and chip shop, perfect for our British lady! Also, I haven't had a chip butty in fücking ages!" Exclaimed Dan.

Everyone murmured in agreement and we all went and bought fish and chips.

We sat and ate them in a field, looking out at the view.

"Y'know, I'm excited for when the campers get here tomorrow, you're all going to be swarmed by crazy fans though" I said, breaking the awkward silence.

"And you, after your first performance. They'll love you! There's some interviews going on throughout the week as well, you will be interrogated by nosy reporters while you try not to smash their heads in. Good luck! You're a girl too so they will ask about you getting together with literally any of us" Brendon laughed.

"Haha I look forward to it! So, when's your first performance and can I watch backstage with the pass I was given upon arriving?"

"We're performing at two pm tomorrow at the main stage. Please come and watch, I'd love that!" Dallon said.

"Nice! I'll be there. Me and the boys are performing at three at the punk stage. I think we are playing eleven times in total over different stages. What about you, Patrick?"

"I think that we are playing at eleven tomorrow morning, rock stage. Come along!"

"Nice! I'll be there! We should be heading back to the site. Ash is doing a barbecue around seven tonight, come along!" I said, standing up.

I walked back to the bus site with the boys and we chatted about the sets and performance times.

I arrived back at the bus to be greeted by a very pissed-off Andy.

"Where were you? We were worried! Tell us before you disappear!"

"Andy! I'm fifteen, I went for lunch with Panic! At The Disco and Patrick Stump. I told CC where I was!"

"Fine, just tell us next time" Andy said, slightly embarrassed.

Later that night, Xavier was asleep and me and Ash were burning shit in a huge tray while we waited for the barbecue to heat up.

"Yeah! Take that Stephanie fucking Meyers!" I screamed as I tore out pages of 'twilight' and threw them on the fire.

I laughed loudly and danced around the fire to wrap my arms around the waist of CC who was standing and watching us dance around a fire and burn copied of twilight.

"Are you drunk, Liz?" He asked, concernedly.

"No, I'm straight edge. I just like letting loose for once in a while"

Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco walked over to the fire and greeted us.

"Hi! I brought some sausages and chicken breasts for the barbecue. Are they copies of twilight?" Patrick greeted us.

"Thanks! Put the food on the table over there. They are copies of twilight, take one!" I said, throwing a book at Patrick.

"Hey! I wanna burn that shit too!" Exclaimed Brendon.

"Chill, Bren. There are about fifteen copies here!" I laughed, tearing out some pages and setting them alight.

I laughed again, Ash joining in.

"I need another beer, anyone want one?" Ash asked, walking over to the cool box by the van. There was a chorus of 'yes please' and soon, everyone had a drink, except me and Andy Hurley who had water.

"This is going to get confusing really quickly, with two Andy's. Oh well, I guess we will have to deal with it" I laughed.

We cooked the food and talked until the early hours of the morning, everyone but me and Andy getting increasingly drunk.

"So, you're going on tour after this?" I asked Andy, having a sober conversation with him.

"Yeah, touring Europe actually. What about you? Any plans for after the festival?"

"Not really, actually. I might fly back to England and stay there for a while, get my shit together and the like. Maybe I'll see you there"

With that, I made my excuses and went to bed in preparation for the upcoming performance.
