I'll Paint You Wings.
Scars.
JACK
"Don't worry, I won't peek." I told Kay. I added a wink, for good measure. I turned around and walked back towards the front, stopping at my bunk. I sat down and I couldn't help but look. Her back was turned to me. Her shirt was off, but all I could see was her back, so I didn't feel too bad staring. She was thin, but still had curves. I couldn't help but notice a small tattoo of the band's skull in the middle of her back. I grinned. So she's a fan. I allowed my eyes to drift up to her shoulders. My jaw dropped. Slashes, horrible words, and X's made puckered scars on her back. SLUT. LIAR. COW. They were carved into her back. Tears sprang to my eyes. What has happened to you? Did you do this? I also saw a few fresh bruises, undoubtedly caused by that druggie. She began to put the shirt on, so I wiped the tears from my eyes and I walked back to the front of the bus.
A few minutes later, she came up to where I was sitting. It was obvious that she tried to cover the bruising on her face. I could still see a little of it, though. We walked off of the bus into the sunshine. My phone rang. ALEX flashed across the screen.
"I've gotta take this" I said.
"Hello?
"Hey, we're almost back to the amphiteater. Meet us at the front in five?"
"Sure." I said. I hung up the phone and walked back to Kay.
"Alex and the rest of the guys are just now getting back. You wanna go and meet them?" I asked.
"Sounds like fun." She said, smiling up at me.
I casually took her hand and started walking to the front gate. It was smaller than mine and I couldn't help but notice how perfectly our hands fit together. This was, in fact, the second time I've held it. Woah, Barakat. You're being kind of cheesy. Tone it down, now.
We got there without any fangirl attacks, which was surprising, considering our show was in about an hour. I spotted Alex's pink fluff and saw Zack and Rian next to him.
"There they are," I said, pointing them out to Kay. "Do you see them?"
"Oh, yeah. Alex's pink hair is kinda hard to miss." She said with a chuckle.
God. Her laugh is so cute.

ALEX
"Hey! There's Jack!" I said to Zack and Rian. "Looks like he's found a girl!"
"What?" Rian said. "Where?"
I pointed to the pair. "There! She's cute, too. Kinda tall."
"Is she wearing Jack's Boner shirt?" Zack asked, to no one in particular. I nodded.
When we got to them, I could tell why Jack was with her. She was beautiful. Really pretty brown hair with a few reddish streaks and peircing green eyes. Small gauges and a nose peircing. She had the unusual, unexpected type of beauty.
"Who is your friend, Barakat?"
"Guys, this is Kay." He said. His voice didn't reveal anything, so I made a mental note to grill him later.

JACK
"Who is our friend, Barakat?" Alex said.
"Guys, this is Kay." I scanned their faces for any signs of aproval or disapproval. I got nothing. They were all studying her, which made me feel a pang of jealousy. I'm not really sure why. Kay isn't mine.
"Guys, we go on in fourty-five minutes. We probably should head over." Rian, the most responsible of the band gave us a warning look.
"You guys go on ahead. I'll catch up." They headed off towards the mainstage. I turned to Kay.
"Do you want to watch us play?"
"Of course. I'm kind of a huge fan, if you couldn't tell."
"I really couldn't. You've been really chill, unlike most girls."
"I'll have you know, Jack Barakat, I am not like most girls" She said with a grin that made my heart flutter slightly.
"You really aren't," I said, then quickly added, "So do you want to watch from back stage or front row? I can get you into either."
"I've always wanted to watch you guys from the very front."
"Sounds like a plan." I grabbed her hand and walked to the stage. The sun was beginning to set and I couldn't help but think how perfect this day was turning out to be.

Side Note:
This story is kind of cliched and cheesy. Haha! I'm going to try and make it less cliched, but the cheesieness is going to stay, for now. If you have any suggestions or comments or criticism, leave a comment or message me. I'd love to hear what you think of the story thus far. I'm also going to try and make the chapters longer, too.
XOXO!
