You know i make you wanna scream..

As I heard the intro of Afterlife fill the arena, I felt borderline hysterical. Afterlife was my all time favourite Avenged Sevenfold song. I was trying my hardest to ignore Nash, but he was being so horrible and mean to everyone and anyone around him for anything, from asking the security guards for water to clapping or singing. I didn't want to be here with him when he was acting like that.

As I sang along to Afterlife, I noticed a guy beside me knew it off by heart too. We looked at eachother screaming along to it and smiled, continuing to sing it word by word. As the 'loved ones back home are crying' part came on, the guy put his arm around my shoulder, and I smiled at him, still singing along. But I could feel eyes burning into my shoulder and the guy's hand, and it was Nash. I turned to Nash, and his darting, almost demonic looking eyes went from my shoulder to my face. Before I could speak, I felt my head turn the other way rapidly. The left side of my jaw began to sting and hurt, and blood began to spout from my nose. I turned back to Nash, in disbelief, tears welling up in my eyes, and again, as I tried to speak, he shouted over me 'All you are is a dirty whore!' and he hit me another weakening blow to the eye. I felt my legs buckling, and just as I fell, I felt someone's hands under my arms, lifting me out. As I was being carried, I could see everything was darkening, but just as I closed my eyes, I saw Zacky Vengeance staring right at me.

I opened my eyes. I was in a room and there was loads of paramedics around me. I was on the floor in the recovery position. As I tried to get up, one of the paramedics pushed me back down gently. 'I'm afraid not, sweetheart.' The young man smiled at me. 'What's going on?Where am I?How long was I out? I couldn't figure out what was going on.

'You've only been out for about 10 minutes. You're at the Avenged Sevenfold concert, and there was a guy beside you who started attacking you. The security guards have kicked him out. Do you have any idea why that man was being so abusive?' The memories came flooding back of the past 15 minutes. 'Yeah, that guy was my boyfriend.I was just singing with another guy and he had his arm around me and then...' I felt myself begin to cry. 'You don't have to tell us anymore.' The paramedic smiled, 'once you feel okay.' I sighed, wiping away my tears. 'Do I have any bruises or anything?'Then the paramedic handed me a small mirror.I looked at my reflection. I looked pale and sad, and I had mascara all the way down my cheeks, and my jaw was slightly swollen, but I'd been worse. with thought dawned on me that I was missing the concert.
'Can I go back into the pit now?I'm fine, honestly.' one of the security guards, who I hadn't noticed, was standing at the end of me. 'You didn't hear all the story.' the stocky man said in his deep, intimidating voice. 'I only saw your dickhead boyfriend land the second punch, it was that guitarist guy in the band who spotted the first punch, and told me to pull you out, take care of you and then bring you backstage for the rest of the concert.' I snorted a bit, then realized it hurt to jerk my body too quickly. 'Yeah, I'm sure he did.' The security guard rolled his eyes slightly, 'Yeah, because I really have time to mess with some kid who got a few punches off her boyfriend. Come on, or you won't be let backstage at all.' I clumsily jumped up, in a complete state of shock, and followed the security guard. 'Thank you!' i shouted back at the paramedics as I walked out the door of the paramedic area, and out into the arena floor, but outside the barrier where the other security guards were. Everything was happening so quick, one minute my boyfriend was attacking me, the next I'm going backstage at an A7X concert! I walked through a big door, and the security guard and I were greeted by two other security guards, who were twice as big as me, easily.

'Whoa, whoa, whoa,Jim, what's all this?' one of the security guards started coming towards me, as if he was going to push me out. 'No, John, don't. Her boyfriend and her were at the barrier and he attacked her and one of the guitarists saw it and told me to take care of her then bring her back stage.' John, the security guard, looked shocked. 'That is definitely a first.'
Am I dreaming?
