Chapter sixteen
Liz's POV
"Right. What do we do for-" Vic checked his watch, "ten and a half hours?" Vic asked.
"My Chemical Romance is playing in an hour, let's see them. But first, caffeine" I replied.
"Good idea"
We got coffee and watched My Chemical Romance play before I finally met up with the rest of Black Veil Brides.
We found a spot in front of the main stage and laid out a picnic blanket. My Chemical Romance found us parked on the floor and joined us, along with the rest of Pierce The Veil.
"My god, my back is sore. It's from either endlessly standing up or sleeping in weird places" I mused thoughtfully.
"Hey, mikey can do pretty sweet massages, maybe that would help?" Volunteered Frank, earning a playful jab to the ribs from mikey.
"Really? I had no idea you could do that" I said, addressing mikey himself.
"Well, yeah. Maybe I could help?" Suggested mikey bashfully.
"If you wouldn't mind"
"Right. Lay on your belly, I'm going to sit on your lower back" mikey said. I obliged and he sat with his knees on either side of my hips.
He started rubbing his thumbs into the tense muscles down either side of my spine, causing me to moan.
"Stop moaning, you sound like a damned porn star!" Said Jinxx coughed out between giggles and snorts.
"Never, I'm trying to make everyone as uncomfortable as possible" I giggled.
"Sit still" growled mikey.
"Alright-ahhah, right there" I said as mikey shoved his thumb into an especially sore spot.
The sun warmed my back gently through my studded leather jacket as Mikey continued to loosen the muscles near my spine.
The music that was playing was extremely soothing and after a while, I fell asleep.
Mikey's POV
Liz was asleep underneath me, her golden hair shining in the sun. I climbed off her back and sat beside her, stretching out my legs and bathing in the warm sunlight.
Liz stirred and re-adjusted her position on the rug, resting her head in my lap. I smiled slightly at the sleeping girl who was curled up in a ball. (A/N Jesus Christ, I am Will motherfucking Shakespeare today)
We stayed this way until around two fourty five, when Black Veil Brides had to get ready to perform.
I gently shook Liz awake, her uncurling and stretching her back and moaning loudly.
"Are you sure you aren't a porn star?" Giggled Ashley.
"I'm pretty damn sure, I'm straight edge anyway" laughed Liz in return.
They all stood up and walked away, leaving me, the rest of My Chemical Romance and Pierce The Veil alone.
"She is pretty awesome, I'm so glad I found her. It's weird to see my daughter" Frank thought aloud.
"Yeah, she's alright. Bit messed up mentally but who wouldn't be after seeing your parents and brother shot in front of you aged nine?" Jaime replied.
"So damn true. Anyway, who wants more beer?" Asked Tony, standing up. There was a collective cheer of 'yes please'.
"I'll come with you" I said, following Tony to the bar tent.
"Y'okay? You seem kind of awkward" he asked me.
"Fine, I just remembered something"
"You want anything?"
"Just a monster, thanks"
"Okay. Here, take this tray" Tony said, handing me a plastic tray full of beer pints.
We arrived back at the picnic blanket just in time for Black Veil Brides to come on stage. They played 'wretched and divine', 'fallen angels', 'revelation', 'in the end' and 'knives and pens' before Andy made an announcement.
"Hi, guys! That was the last song we will play as a band for this festival, we will be back next year! However, Liz, Jinxx and CC want to play 'overture'. They've gotten pretty good at it, we'll see you later!" Andy said before leaving the stage with Jake and Ash.
Liz moved to the front of the stage and picked up her violin. She started to play the notes, followed my Jinxx who was playing backup.
They played beautifully together, almost like they were one being. The drums accompanied the violin perfectly and I couldn't help but feel totally at ease and comfortable, before the song ended.
They bowed and left the stage, the crowd applauding raucously.
They ran back to the blanket as soon as they were done and sat down. Liz grabbed the Monster from my hand and drank a mouthful before giving it back.
She winked at me before turning her attention to the stage.
"I think Green Day are playing next, if we are lucky" she said with excitement.
She was right and Green Day came up and played.
A few hours later, it was eleven pm and all of the crew was setting up all of our instruments. We all walked onto the stage and started to tune our guitars, bass' and other necessary instruments.
It was midnight and the first song began. We all started to blast 'immortals' and the crowd was going crazy.
We continued through the set, before we finished and leaped of stage. Some people ran to the bar tent but My Chemical Romance stayed behind with Black Veil Brides and we all found a quiet spot to hang out.
"That was pretty awesome, I'm so glad we did that. More drinks?" Asked Liz. Orders for drinks were thrown at her and she scribbled them on her arm in sharpie.
"Anyone wanna help me carry it or am I gonna have to be a damned waitress all night?" She barked.
"I'll help, let's go!" I yelled, before touching her arm and yelling 'tag, your on!' And running off.
She sprinted after me and we arrived at the bar tent, ordered and strolled back to the spot, chatting about pointless things on the way.
"So, who is your favourite band playing here that isn't mine or yours" she asked me.
"I don't know, maybe Pierce The Veil, they are good. They're really nice too. Or All Time Low, they're really cool"
"Speak of the devil, they're over there. Let's go and say hi!"
We walked over to All Time Low, made awkward conversation, Liz exchanged phone numbers with them and we set off back to the spot.
The others had taken up all the space on the blanket, except for just enough room for one person to sit.
"You can sit down, I'll sit on the grass" I said.
"Hell no, I'll sit on your lap!" She giggled. I sat down and Liz parked herself on top of me, getting comfortable.
We sat and talked for hours before Liz fell asleep in my lap again.
"Does she just never sleep?" I asked quietly.
"No, she can't sleep if she is in any way uncomfortable or unsettled. You should feel honoured, she trusts you apparently" Ash replied.
"Um, alright then. Well, it's four am, let's go to bed. I'll carry Liz" I suggested.
I picked her up bridal style and she snuggled into my chest.
I deposited Liz into her bunk and ran back to the My Chemical Romance bus, passing out.
