You know i make you wanna scream..

I stood looking at myself in the mirror, hoping I looked like the journalist type. I was wearing a red body con dress, white converse,my hair was voluminous and curly, and my makeup was dark. I looked concert ready aswell as journalisty.
I felt serious nostalgia getting ready. It reminded me of Nash, sadly.
I left the house at 7, and walked to the arena, which only took 20 minutes.

By the time I arrived to the arena, it was packed. I could get in the back entrance with my pass. I walked towards the back entrance, to be greeted by 2 huge security guards. I showed one of them my pass, and they let me in. I walked around, jumping each time someone tapped me on the shoulder, thinking it was Zacky or Matt, but it wasn't thankfully.

the opening acts had finished, and Avenged were about to start. I stood sidestage, hoping no one would come on from the side I wss standing on. Just when I thought I was on the side they wouldn't come on, I felt a tap on my shoulder. 'Eleanor?' I turned around to see Brian there, with his guitar.
'Hey Brian.' I smiled, kicking myself for even being there.
'What are you doing here man?' He smiled.

'Schecter sent me here, to review the guitars and the concert.'
Brian laughed. 'Isn't that convenient. How are you? 4 fifths of us have really missed you.'
I snorted at Brian's discretion. 'I'm okay, thanks. Can't believe I'm here, really.'
he laughed. 'I'd say so. I have to go on now, so hope you enjoy the show.' He winked at me before strutting on stage confidently.
Johnny hugged me quickly before going on stage. When I turned around, Zacky and I made direct eye contact. I blushed violently and looked back to the stage. Zacky walked straight past me and onto the stage. I felt my heart sink. He didn't even have the decency to say hello. He treated me as if it was me who cheated.
'Hello stranger.' I felt a smile grow on my face as I heard that voice I loved so much. As I turned around, Matt wrapped his arms around me.

'What in God's name are you doing here?' I explained my reason for being there and he nodded.
'how's things with Zacky?' I said cautiously.
'we're over it, you could say.' Matt sighed. 'He still has Isabelle hanging out of him though. Pretty annoying to say the least.'
I snorted. 'Glad he got a girlfriend out of it.'
Matt rolled his eyes. 'I have to go on now, but hang tight here, right?' I nodded in response.
He hugged me again. 'You lool beautiful, by the way.' He whispered in my ear, before running on stage energetically. I grinned to myself, feeling more alive than I had felt in the past 3 months.

The concert was nearly halfway through, and it was time for Syn's solo. Zacky exited the stage the other side, thankfully, but Johnny and Matt exited on the side I was on. Without even speaking to me, Matt walked up to me, pushed me back towards an amplifier, and kissed me gently, his hands cupping my face. I almost fainted with delight. I kissed him back eagerly, putting my hands around his neck, deepening the kiss. I could hear Johnny whistling and Dan asking him what was going on, but I didn't care, I wasn't letting this go. After what only felt like a second, he pulled away, but kept his hands on my face.

'And that is how I should have said hello.' He smiled at me.
I smiled happily at him. 'I've missed you.'
'I've missed you more than anything.' He looked at me, before kissing me again.
'how come it's always me who has to watch Eleanor make out with people?' Johnny sighed jokingly.
I pulled away, laughing. 'Sorry, Johnny.'
'Just glad to see you again.' Johnny said, before going back on stage.
Matt turned to me. 'I'm back on now, but do you wanna stay in mine tonight? Even just as friends?'
'I'd love to.' I said.
'great. Don't go anywhere.' He kissed me quickly before running out in stage again. I was so happy. Why did I ever let him go?

I enjoyed the rest of the show, singing along. All I could think about was tonight. I laughed to myself as I thought of Matt saying the 'just as friends' part. That was impossible between Matt and I, to be just friends, and we both knew it.
The show ended, and this time, Matt, Johnny, Brian, Zacky and Arin came off the stage on my side. I smiled as I saw Matt.

'Well, if it isn't the girl who gets cheated on and starts fucking her ex's band mate.' I felt anger come over me as I turned around to see Isabelle standing there, angry looking as ever. 'What the fuck are you doing here? it's not as if you're exactly welcome here.'
as I went to speak, Kimberly appeared. 'Isabelle, leave her alone. Don't start a fight here.'
'I think you should mind your own business, Isabelle. What I'm doing here doesn't concern you.' I said, livid.
'Not my fault Zacky picked me over you.' She spat, before lashing out at me, trying to grab my hair. As I went to fight back, Zacky appeared and stood in front of Isabelle. 'Are you trying to assault my girlfriend?' He stared at me, as if I was a total stranger.
'Your girlfriend tried to attack me, actually. she's pretty fiesty, must be a handful. You should get a leash for her, maybe a muzzle too.' I smiled cruelly and in response to what I said, Matt, Arin, Kimberly, Johnny and Brian all 'ohhhh'ed in unison.
Zacky glared at me. 'I'll just root out the ones I used on you.'
I felt my heart sink. Before I could speak, Matt grabbed my hand and pulled me away from the side stage. 'Let's go, before I get any angrier at him.' He growled, walking hand in hand with me towards the exit.
We walked out the exit, and over to his car. He opened the door for me and I got in.
'What the fuck is up with Zacky? Is he always like that?'
Matt chucked as he drove out the gates of the arena. 'That has been Zacky for the past 3 months, really. We've all tried talking to him, but he's literally unapproachable. He won't listen.'
I sighed. 'Isabelle's a bitch.'
'a bitch?' He scoffed. 'She's a malevolent, sly, nasty, selfish cow. I don't know why he's with her.'
I sighed, looking out the window, as Matt held my hand, while driving with the other.
