Brian POV

"Missed me, missed me, now you gotta kiss me!" Hadley sang as I sighed in defeat. Hadley was the fasted five-year-old on our block and an undefeated freeze tag champion. Matt and Zacky made faces, but Jimmy got all excited.

"Do it! Do it! Do it!" Jimmy chanted giddily.

To this day I'm not one hundred percent sure why I did it. Maybe it was because my best friend wanted me to. Or maybe it was because the sunlight shining in Hadley's eyes made her look like some princess out of a fairy tale book. Either way, I kissed her, and even at five years old, I knew something just felt right about that kiss.

I pulled myself out of my reverie and frowned. I hadn't seen Hadley for ten years now. It's crazy how badly you can miss someone even after a decade without them.

"Brian? Helloooo! Earth to Captain Oblivious!"

I shook my head to clear my thoughts. "Huh?"

"We're here!" Jimmy said excitedly.

We were at a Sweet Cherry Pie concert. They were probably our only favorite all female band. Matt and I had a bit of a thing for their lead singer, and, though he tried to hide it, Jimmy loved their drummer. "A worthy opponent," he would say. I looked around at the rest of the guys. They were all putting on their hoodies and sunglasses to avoid being recognized. I sighed and donned my disguise as well before we all headed out.

"Excited to see D2 up close?" Matt winked, referring to the lead singer and our backstage passes which were a cinch to get.

"Oh yeah," I grinned, imagining those red locks close enough to touch.

"I will breeeaak into your thoouughts with what's written on my heeeaart. I will BREEAAK!"

The stage came to life with D2's scream, as did the audience. My face broke into a huge grin, and as I looked over at the others, I saw I wasn't the only one. All our favorite songs were played, including "The Kill," "Whispers in the Dark," and "Sounds of Madness." I actually felt a little sad when the concert ended, but then again, now we could head back to meet the girls. We flashed our backstage passes and removed our disguises. I wonder if they'd recognize who we were?

"If you're not drunk ladies and gentlemen, prepare to get fucked up!" A voice called, singing "Shots" by LMFAO. We saw Nikki Speed waltz into the room. I could practically see Jimmy drooling. "Ay yo D! Tattoos on my body, A7x in our lobby!" She called out as Jimmy laughed and the rest of us grinned.

"What? Nix, are you drunk already? Why would Avenged...," D2 stopped as she saw us. "So you're not drunk yet. Hey guys! What brings you here?"

"Your concert. It was sick," Matt smiled. Damn those dimples. He has an advantage.

"Nice drumming by the way," Jimmy winked. I held in my laugh and simply shook my head.

"Thanks," Nikki said, flashing Jimmy a bright smile. I swear I saw him swoon.

"Is that Avenged Sevenfold? You guys are even hotter in person," Angelica said, coming 'round.

"You guys wanna come get drinks with us?" Cherry asked.

"Yeah, sure, Cherry," Johnny nodded.

"Please, call us Angelica, Reagan, Nikki, Sherri, and Hadley," D2 said, pointing out the different band members and their names. She pointed to herself as she said "Hadley." I froze. Could it be my Hadley?

"Hey, Syn, you okay?" Hadley asked as I snapped out of it.

"Yeah, uh, call me Brian. But did you say your name was Hadley?" I asked, still half in a daze.

"Yeah, why?"

The other guys looked at me with realization. They knew exactly where I was going with this. "Does your last name happen to be 'Jackson'?"

"Yep. But why all the questions about my name?"

"Hadley's not a very common name you know," I said, avoiding her questions.

"Yeah, I know, but I like it," she smiled. Good Lord she would be the death of me.

"I had a friend when I was younger named Hadley. She moved away when we were twelve, though. We were best friends and she was my first kiss. I miss her a lot."

"Aw, that's so sweet!" Angelica exclaimed. But Hadley's eyes went wide.

Notes

They finally found each other! Finally reunited, but will it feel so good when Matt still has a thing for her? What'll happen, if anything, between Nikki and Jimmy? And is that a tour with Avenged Sevenfold I see in the future? Maybe! Hope you like it :)
