I took a bite of my pickle as I sat on the phone talking to Serenity, my partner in crime.

"So you in?" she abruptly asked.

"Wait- what?"

"Ugh! The Crossbow! You in for tonight?" she repeated.

"Tonight...?" I stalled.

Everyone knew The Crossbow was a hangout for the gangs. And/or the underground punk bands to perform. Not to mention how there's enough gyrating bodies producing enough sweat to greenhouse gases to a whole new level. That's just absolutely not my type of place.

"Yes, tonight! And you're going, so wear something appropriate!" and with that she hung up.

I sighed in annoyance, the reality of tonight finally settling in. I slumped over to my closet, grabbed something random, and slipped it on.

I was halfway into pulling the shirt over my head when there was a knock at the door. I quickly slipped it on and padded downstairs.

I opened the door to reveal Serenity, wearing a cocktail dress, smiling.

"What the absolute fuck are you wearing." she asked.

"Clothes.." I snapped.

"Not very good ones, if you ask me. C'mon, I'll help you." She said, dragging me upstairs.

About half an hour later, I was dressed in Serenity's choice outfit.

She tried talking me into wearing heels, but I quickly denied it. I went for my black converse instead, seeing as I didn't want to twist my ankle in public.

"Okay! We need to go....now!" she yelled, grabbing me and tugging me out the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The throbbing club music was starting to give me a headache. There were couples dancing all around us, practically fucking on the dance floor.

There was one girl dancing beside me with her elbows out, and I knew if I didn't move I'd get clipped.

The music stopped abruptly and everyone turned to face the stage, where four boys covered in tattoos stood.

"What's up, dudes! We're Farewell Atlantis and this is our new single Miss May I!" the one holding the mic cheered.

Suddenly a curly haired boy, with equally as many tattoos, stepped up to the front of the stage. He had a black bass guitar slung across his shoulder, which he grabbed and started playing. The sound was deep and rich, almost beautiful.

I couldn't help but sway my hips a bit as he strummed on.

"So why doesn't it all just come for us?
Only the strong will survive
A future, a beauty, a happening.
Can't this be for all of us
Just a happy ending
Can't this be for all of us
Just a happy ending
Breathless bodies raise their fists into the air
These circles of hatred is all we will ever see
A curse given to the willing
Forever remember this
For our time is upon us

Apologies are for the weak
Wish and dream not only for what you are missing
Wish and dream for everything
Be by my side this was supposed to last forever, last forever
Yous wish and dream not only for what you are missing,
You are missing

The sky will be the same for both of us
It will rise and then it will fall
The sky will be the same for both of us
A curse given to the willing
Forever remember this
For our time is upon us
Apologies are for the weak!" the singer screamed.

The curly haired boy stopped playing, and his eyes met mine. A slow, but sexy, smirk appeared on his face and he winked at me.

"Meet me behind the stage," he mouthed.

I gulped and nodded slowly.

What the hell am I thinking?

Notes

Should I continue? ._.

Song: Apologies are for the Weak, Miss May I <3 (Lmao, "Miss May I!!")
