You know i make you wanna scream..

Backstage was not like I had imagined it. It was not full of people running around,shouting orders. It just had relaxed people and workers in it enjoying the music, who all looked at me funny, thinking I was some stalker who snuck backstage.

'Keep up.' John grumbled at me. 'If you get lost, don't blame me for getting kicked out.' He walked up to a muscly guy, with a trimmed beard who I immediately recognised. Dan the Body!
Dan looked at me sceptically while John spoke to him, but when he finished speaking to him, Dan's face lightened up. 'Oh,that's fine, then. I'll take it from here, thanks John.'

Dan smiled at me, 'What's your name?'
I felt my legs shake. Dan the Body just spoke to me. 'Em..El-Eleanor. Sorry.'
Dan grinned, 'It's okay, Eleanor. And I'm really sorry about what your boyfriend did to you, he seems like a prick. Anyways, I'll give you a pass to have around your neck so that when anyone of authority around here sees you they don't try put you in a headlock. Don't lose it.'
I smiled shyly, 'Thank you. And okay. Thanks again.' Dan handed me the pass, and I put it around my neck.
'Are you sure you're okay?' he said, smiling unsurely. 'You look like a ghost, and you're about to faint.'
I laughed quietly, 'I'm fine, thanks. Just can't believe what's going on.'
He snorted. 'That's understandable. It's rare Zacky does something like that. Not like him.'
I couldn't help but grin. What Nash had done was already forgotten, I was backstage at an Avenged Sevenfold concert!

'If you want, you can stand at the side of the stage and watch them preform. The encore's about to start, so you might wanna go now. But please don't decide to run onto the stage like a lunatic or something. That's uncool.'
I laughed. 'I'll do that. Thank you!' He showed me the way to the side of the stage. I really couldn't fathom what was going on. I felt like it was one big practical joke or something.

The lights directing towards the stage lit up, and the band came on from the other side of the stage. M Shadows confidently walking to the middle of the stage, Synyster Gates to the side closest to me, Johnny to the same side, Arin to behind his drums. I saw Zacky stroll on then,calm as ever, to the other side of the stage, and I felt butterflies in my stomach. That man saved me from my horrible boyfriend and insisted I go backstage. I had never felt so special in my entire existance. The intro for Chapter Four started, and I just stood there, watching Zacky play so beautifully, like he always did.

In the middle of Unholy Confessions, I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I opened it and saw I had a text from Nash. It read 'thanks to you flirting with other guys i got kicked out. you're a worthless whore'. But for the first time that night, Nash's nasty ways didn't have any effects on me.

I put my phone back in my pocket, and as I looked up, I locked eyes with Zacky, and he winked at me, before looking back to the audience. I had butterflies - but this time, everywhere.
I heard voices behind me, and I turned around to see 2 very similar looking girls. It was Michelle and Valary, Brian and Matt's wives. 'Hey, are you Eleanor?' Michelle said gently, smiling. 'Yeah, that's m-me.' I stuttered in shock. 'Dan was telling us what happened. I really hope you're okay! I'm Michelle and this is Valary.' Valary hugged me. I was getting a hug off M Shadow's wife, something I never thought I'd get.

'Thank you, California, you have been fantastic! We'll be back soon!' the crowd roared as the band came off stage. All the others, except for Zacky, went the oppisite way, but Zacky came towards me, Michelle and Valary. He walked straight up to me. I stood, mouth gaping open. I couldn't even speak.
He stood in front of me, and said, sounding concerned, 'are you okay?'
