Snowflake's POV
I woke up a while later and we were stopped in front of the venue. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and jumped out of my bunk. I grabbed my clothes from my bag and went into the bathroom. I turned the shower on and stripped. The good thing about this bus was that it had a shower. I showered and used strawberry shampoo and conditioner on my hair. It smelt yummy. I finished my shower and changed into a black bra and black underwear, a pair of black jean shorts, a BVB cut up shirt, a handcuff belt and my combat boots, I put my hair in a messy pony tail and made my bangs fall in my face, I put on black eyeliner around my eyes and then put clear lipgloss on my lips. I cleaned my piercings and changed my lip ring into a black hoop, and my tounge ring into a silver stud. I walked back to my bunk to get my bracelets and put 10 on each wrist. I then looked outside to see the weather and saw most people in shorts and tank tops. Good. I put my lime green sunglasses on, put my phone in my pocket and my iPod in the other, I put some money in my pocket and put my drawstring bag that had my pills and stuff in it over my shoulders, I looked to see if anyone was in the 'living room' but saw no one. I sighed and walked off the bus.
Everybody was gone and I didn't know where they were...just great. I walked around and stood on the side walk looking around. I must've looked pretty weird. I looked behind me and saw a Starbucks. I smiled and ran towards it. I went inside and felt the cool air-conditioning on my skin, it was really hot outside. I ordered my drink and told the lady my name. I sat down at a booth and waited for my name to be called. I looked out the window and watched everyone walking around. I drummed my hands to the beat of Lost In Stereo by All Time Low and sang in my head.
I spotted a group of boys in all black with a few boys in bright colours. My band and the others. I rolled my eyes and leaned back.
"Snowflake." The young girl behind the desk called. I stood up and got my drink and payed the girl. I walked out of Starbucks and walked in the opposite direction of the boys.
My bag hit my back with every step I took and the sun made my skin burn. I was not used to the sun...at all. I walked into a clothing store and looked through the clothes. I found a really cute glow in the dark lime green and hot pink Tutu that I could use for the show tonight, I found a pair of glow in the dark neon orange tights that had black lace over them, a black shirt with glow in the dark words that said 'Lets rock', and I found a black belt that was covered in sparkles.
I went up to the cash with all my stuff and put it on the counter. A shy looking girl was behind the counter and looked up slightly, she looked my age, maybe a year older, she had curly red hair and moss green eyes, she had a little bit of a tan but was still really pale, she was quite tall, around 6'0 for fucks sakes, people being tall these days. You can't win . She scaned my items and looked up at me like I was a goddess.
"You're Snowflake Rayne." She whispered. "You're the drummer to Forget The Past." I smiled and pulled my money out.
"Are you a fan?" I asked while giving her the right amount of money needed. She nodded like crazy and put my items in bags. "Are you going to the show tonight?" I asked.
"I would but I don't have tickets."
"What's your name?" I asked and took my bag off my back and opened it.
"Hadley." She whispered and handed me my bag of clothes. I pulled put what I needed from my bag and slid them across the counter. I put my bag back over my back and grabbed my bag of clothes.
"I hope to see you tonight Hadley." I called as I went out the door. I heard her squealing from the front row tickets I gave her and that made me smile.
I grabbed a cigarette from my bag and lit it with my hot pink lighter. I usually smoke only 6 cigarettes a day, one when I wake up, one before lunch, one during lunch, one after lunch, one before show, and one after show.
I took a drag from my cigarette as I turned the corner to go onto the street of the venue. I spotted my bus and the boys running around being crazy. I noticed everyone pointing at me and staring at the scars on my legs but I kept walking and ignored everyone. I passed a group of high-schoolers and they started pointing at laughing at my legs. I sighed, rolled my eyes, flipped them off, then ran to my bus. They were right in front of my bus so they watched as I climbed on after I stomped my cigarette out and slammed the door behind me. I threw my shopping bag in my bunk and walked back outside. The group of kids were standing there watching my bus and waiting for me to come back off. I waved at them and ran to the boys. I jumped on Tony's back and made him fall.
"Hi. " I said in a baby voice.
"Hi Snow." Tony groaned and leaned his face against the pavement. The other boys came to see what happened and fell over laughing. "Not funny get her off me." Tony screamed and Andy came over to. He lifted me off and set me on the ground beside his feet.
I had managed not to spill my drink when I attacked Tony. I took a drink of my drink and crossed my legs. I was still sitting on the floor and Tony sat up to sit beside me. The other boys sat down in a circle surrounding Tony and I.
"So we know basically everything about the boys. What about you Snow, tell us about yourself." I took a breath and looked at Tony. He nodded at me and held my hand. I was going to tell them about my self harm, this was going to take a lot of confidence.
"All my life I felt as if I didn't belong in this world. I wasn't wanted by my parents. They left me on the step of a Foster home. I have a twin brother I've never met, I've never met my parents. I've only ever had 6 best friends. Tony, Devin, Dryden, Beck and a girl named Spectra Reynolds. I think I'm the cause of Spectra dieing, I used to hate myself. I was bullied all through high-school and hated my self since I was in grade 6. I ran away from the Foster home I was put in the day I turned 18. I met Tony, Devin, Dryden and Beck at a Starbucks and they took me in and cared for me. I've been living with them ever since. Ever since I was 4 I had a love for music. I loved the way drums, guitar and bass mixed together in all different ways to create art. I started playing drums at the age of 10, I started playing guitar at the age of 13, I started playing bass at the age of 15 and I started singing at the age of 7. My favorite colour is hot pink, or lime green. I love neon and superheros. I'm such a geek and I like it that way. My favorite food is pizza, my favourite song in the whole world is Just Give Me A Reason. I can't sleep with out my stuffed Lamb Shiver. I have a pair of lucky drumsticks that I never play with but keep in my back pocket during shows. That's my life." I said and by the end my drink was gone from Tony stealing it and drinking it all. I glared at him and he smiled sheepishly.
"You're buying me a new drink dick." I muttered and pushed him down to the ground. I laid my head on his chest and stared at the sky. There were no clouds in the nice blue sky and the bright yellow sun shone brightly on my face.
"Your hair is white in the sun." Tony mumbled and played with my hair. I smiled and just stared at the sky.
"You guys look like a couple." Jacky commented. I stayed silent and listened to the sound of Tony breathing. I did like Tony...a lot actually. He was handsome, smart, funny, and talented. His stunning grassy green eyes had flecks of gold in them and his skater style black hair hung in his eyes and made him flip his hair all the time. He always wore something neon so he could have his own style and I loved that about him.
"We're just best friends." Tony said quickly. I sighed in my head and felt the pain in my heart.
He'll never love you Snowflake, who would love a freak like you.
The voice in my head was right, Tony would never love a girl like me.
I'm always right, you just wont admit that nobody will ever love you. Tony won't, your brother won't. Nobody will ever love you.
I took a breath and grabbed my bag. Everybody watched as I grabbed my one of my pill bottles. I twisted off the cap and popped a pill into my mouth, I swallowed it dry and leaned back down on Tony's chest. I stared at the sky and listened to the conversation.
"What songs are you guys playing?" I heard Dahvie ask.
"We're playing Revelation, Lost It All, Rebel Yell, Wretched And Divine, Youth And Whiskey, and Saviour." Andy answered.
"We should do Sexting, Death To Your Heart, Believe, Rise And Shine, Yo Ho, and You Are The Heart." Jayy told Dahvie.
"We're doing Good Girls Bad Guys, I'm Not A Vampire, Raised By Wolves, Tragic Magic, Sink Or Swim, and Pick Up The Phone." Ronnie said next. Everybody turned to us and I pointed to Dryden. He plans the set and we play.
"We're doing covers+our own songs, so we're doing, Fashionably Late, To Young For This, That Girl, Death To Your Heart, Here's To Never Growing Up, and What Do You Want From Me." Dryden said.
"There you guys are!" Austin yelled from far away. I looked up and saw him running over here. His grey suit was freshly ironed, his greasy dirty brown hair was slicked back, his cold dark empty brown eyes were still as soulless as before, and his skin looked like it went 2 shades of a darker orange. He looked like a stupid dick like always. He stopped in front of us and looked at each and every one of us. His eyes landed on me and his smirk widened.
"Not again." I muttered and sat up.
"Snowflake." Austin said faking a sweet voice. I smiled up at him but my smile was fake. "You look terrible." He dropped the sweet act and but on a death glare. I took off my glasses and place then on top my head then looked into Austin cold dark eyes. I stared right through him and could tell he was getting more uncomfortable with every passing second. "Stop it you freak!" He screamed but I kept doing it. "Get ready!" He screamed and ran away.
"That was easy." I muttered and got up. I walked to the bus and opened the door. I climbed onto the bus and opened the door separating the driver from the rest of the bus. I walked to my bunk and grabbed my new clothes.
I changed in the bathroom and went to my bunk to grab my makeup. Our album that we were promoting was called !NEON! and the whole band wore all glow in the dark clothes and makeup. I drew up my arms in glow in dark body paint and drew swirls, zigzag lines, thick lines, thin lines, wavy lines and more all in different neon glow in the dark makeup/body paint. I drew a lighting bolt over my right eye in glow in the dark yellow and drew 3 straight lines down my left eye in purple. I drew circles on my cheeks and then coloured my lips in with neon pink. I changed my lip ring once again to a glow in the dark lime green lip ring and grabbed my hair clips. I straightened my hair and pinned my hot pink glow in the dark hair extensions under all my hair then looked in the mirror. I took off all my bracelets and drew more swirls over my scars. I put my combat boots on and looked in the full mirror. Even my nail polish was glow in the dark lime green.
I smiled and grabbed my glitter. I shook the glitter on over my arms and clothes to make them more sparkly and found my contacts. I opened the case and put my hot pink contacts in. I fixed the makeup that smudged and walked to my bunk. The boys were running around trying to get ready and pulling on their clothes. I smiled at Tony and grabbed my lucky drumsticks from my bag. I put them underneath the waistband of my skirt and slipped my shirt over them. I grabbed my bag and put it over my shoulder and saw all the boys actually ready, with makeup, hair and everything.
"You guys got ready fast." I mumbled and walked with Tony off the bus.The other bands were coming off there buses and looked at us in amazement.
All the boys wore was glow in the dark skinny jeans of any colour, a shirt with glow in the dark tape attached to it, their shoes, they all did their hair in the same way which was teasing their bangs so it was a mowhawk sort of and putting glow in the dark streaks in. For makeup they did the same thing as me for their arms and hands, but Tony does a line from on side of his face to the other and filled in the space with swirls then on his lips he draws purple lines, Dryden does 2 lines dividing his face into 4 sections and covers his lips in swirls, Beck does a cross over his left eye and a line over his right then drawing lines on his cheeks like tear streaks and draws jagged lines over his lips, and Devin draws a x over each his eyes and 2 x's over his lips. All 4 of the boys also cover themselves in glitter and put neon contacts in. Tony puts in lime green, Beck puts in bright purple, Devin puts in red, and Dryden puts in turquoise.
We were a weird bunch of people.
"You guys look awesome." Dahvie gaped as our colourfulness and I smiled.
"Are those your lucky drumsticks?" Ryan asked and pointed at the drumsticks poking out of my shirt. I nodded and grabbed them. I showed them to him then held them to my chest. These drumsticks were special because this was the first birthday present I've ever received. I got them from Spectra when I turned 13 and she told me she got them made just for me. They were painted hot pink, and had the words 'Spectra and Snowflake together forever." Carved into on and the other had 'SRB my little sister, Love you, Love Spec.' I miss her so much.
I sighed and put my sunglasses on. Those teenagers were still standing there and gaping at me. I waved sweetly to them then ran to the venue with Tony. We all sat in this room that was painted bright blue and warmed up. Tony and Beck were practicing on their glow in the dark guitars that also had glow in the dark strings, Devin was practicing on his hot pink glow in the dark bass, and Devin was doing vocal exercises with Dahvie, Jayy, Ronnie, and Andy. I was given drumsticks by a backstage helper and let them hook up a monitor to me. I sat down, put my bag beside me and drummed on the table really fast for the song The Legacy by BVB. All the boys were staring at me when I was done and I looked up to see everyone that doesn't how I play staring at me.
I just shrugged and stood up then started jumping. This was always my warm up before shows. I jump around the room and scream at the top of my lungs. My friends are used to it but everyone else covered their ears and tried to block out the noise. I stopped and sat on the floor.
"What was that?!" Ashley asked/screamed.
"That's how she warms up." Tony answered and strummed another chord on his guitar. Ashley shook his head and took off his shirt. I looked away from him, not wanting to see my brothers best friend shirtless even though I've seen it before in pictures.
"What you don't like this." Ashley said in a teasing voice. I almost gaged, Tony shirtless was way hotter then anyone else.
"Everybody come sidestage." A male stage crew screamed. I stood up again and walked out first. I walked to sidestage and stood their.
"Okay all the drummers will have extra drumsticks just in case they break, guitarists have extra guitar picks on hand and then bassists and singers need to just wing it." Another man told us. "BVB first, FIR second, BOTDF third and FTP last. Go." The lights turned off and my skin started glowing. "You guys look awesome." The man laughed and turned the lights back on when BVB was on stage. They played their songs and I listened carefully to my brothers voice. His voice was rough but smooth.
They finished their set and came off stage.
"You guys can stay side stage until everyone finishes their set." The man told us. We all nodded and the lights turned off again and the boys of FIR went on stage.
"What is your name?" I asked the man.
"Merrick, I'll be with you for the whole tour so you better know my name." The man said and smiled at me. I smiled back at him and watched FIR play. Jacky's guitar solos were amazing and Ronnie's voice was perfect. They came off stage when the lights turned off and BOTDF replaced them.
They were amazing at this show. Dahvie had glitter in his hair that made it sparkle and Jayy was Jayy. They were amazing.
"Okay now Forget The Past." Merrick said and turned the lights off once again.
"Turning off the lights are no use, I mean look at us already." Devin said and pointed to himself which was glowing.
"Just go on stage." Merrick said and pushed Devin out. The crowd screamed because they knew who was coming on. I saw a couple people glowing in the crowd and that made me smile. I walked on after Merrick pushed Devin and went to sit behind my drums. Devin stood in his spot on the right of my drums, Beck stood on the right of my drums, Tony stood right in front of my drums and Dryden stood in front of his mic.
All the mics got changed from standard chordless black to the colours we requested. I got a glow in the dark hot pink mic that had gems on the handle, Devin had a glow in the dark bright purple mic that had stickers on the handle, Dryden got a glow in the dark bright orange mic, Tony got a glow in the dark lime green mic that had sparkles over the handle and Beck got a glow in the dark blood red mic. My drums even got changed to glow in the dark but my sticks were just standard.
The lights turned on and the crowd screamed so loud I couldn't hear anything. We played our first song with the lights on and went straight into our next song. Everybody sang along and jumped around.
"We're to young for this!" Dryden screamed/sang into the mic. My drumbeat was quick but easy and it was sort of like a marching beat.
"OK we're gonna stop and talk for a minute so Snow can rest." Dryden said and the lights turned on once again. I stood up from behind my drums and walked around them so I was standing in the front. "So most of you know us but to those of you that don't know us lets introduce us." I grabbed the monster from Tony's hand and went back to where I belong, behind my drums.
"Stop stealing my energy drinks Nemo!" Tony screamed. I shook my head and grabbed new drumsticks.
"Well I'm Dryden Moon, that boy is Devin Chase, that boy is Beck Kale, that boy is Tony Morgan, and the blondie behind the drums is Snowflake Rayne. We make up the band Forget The Past. This next song is a cover of an All Time Low song. Hope you all enjoy." Dryden said and I started drumming. We finished this song and moved on to the next. The lights turned off and we played this song while glowing in the dark. We took another little break to take a drink and for Tony and Dryden to get new guitar picks and for me to get 2 new drumsticks. We played our next song and Dryden swore everytime he messed up a lyric. I noticed a girl in the front row watching me carefully. It was Hadley. I smiled at her and she waved. I waved back while drumming with one hand and she laughed.
"This is our last song." Dryden announced. Everyone in the crowd groaned and I looked side stage. Everybody was watching us with amazement. "This is a dancing song! Most of you know this song! NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!" We started playing and Dryden jumped around the stage. "When I say jump you start jumping!" The crowd started jumping around as Dryden sang.
"Hey guys!" I screamed when we were done. I walked up to Dryden and took his mic. "Can I have that girl get up here?" I pointed to Hadley and she smiled up at me. The guards lifted her on stage and she ran over and hugged me.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She squealed. I laughed and hugged her back.
"Goodnight guys." I screamed into the mic when Hadley let go. The crowd screamed in response and I walked off with Hadley.
"Who is this?" Ashley asked in a flirting voice. Hadley wrinkled her nose up at Ashley's pathetic flirting attempts and that made me laugh.
"This is Hadley and don't even try Ash." I told everyone and pulled Hadley back to the blue room.
