The City Comes Alive When We're Together
Reunion
*Megan*
A little under another month has passed, now making me 12 weeks along in the pregnancy. It really seems to be coming by fast. Another couple months, and I will be halfway through it. It's really crazy to think about.
I also have been performing the end of Dear Maria with the guys the last couple of weeks, and it has been one of the most fun and surreal experiences I have yet to have. I feel like everything I go through seems to be so surreal. We're coming down to the last 2 shows. We are getting ready for the show tonight, August 4th, in Washington state. That's when I remember that Doomerz moved to Washington. I know it's pathetic to worry, but you never know. He could come to Warped Tour. Just then I look over at Jack.
"Babe, I'm scared."
"Why, hun? You've been doing great the last couple of weeks." He responds.
"I know, but what if Doomerz is here?" I ask him. "Remember he moved to Washington?" Just then, Jack lets out a sigh.
"I don't want to say it isn't possible, but try not to worry hun. He can't hurt you. You'll be on stage, and he'll be in the crowd, and that's if he comes to our set." He explains.
"I guess." I answer. Just then, Flyzik comes onto the bus, letting us know our show is at 7 tonight. We go on with our day, eating breakfast, warming up, hanging around, the boys attending their signing, what have you. After some time flies, it is 5:00 and we still have 2 hours to kill.
"I have a surprise for you babe." Jack says to me, grabbing my hand. He pulls me to the Kia Rio stage where we've been playing and that's when I see all 4 members of Pierce The Veil standing there.
"No way." I shout trying not to cry. All 4 of them, Vic, Jaime, Tony and Mike walk up to me and introduce themselves.
"Yeah, I know who you guys are, no introduction needed." I laugh.
"Jack told us about how we're one of your favorite bands, excluding them." Vic starts to explain.
"Though I think we should be your first favorite." Jaime laughs. I couldn't help but laugh along, though I did everything not to make myself look stupid.
"But anyways, he also told us your story." Vic finishes.
"My story?" I ask nervously.
"Yeah, like the stuff about your ex and your parents and everything you've been through." Mike explains. I continue to listen to them, doing everything to hold back tears from thinking about my past, along with the fact that Pierce The Veil's right in front of me. No big deal right?
"We're really sorry that all happened to you." Tony says to me. "I went through some hard times a couple years back, and it sucked. So, I completely understand how you feel."
"Even though we may never see you again, just take my word." Vic states. "You're a beautiful person, we love you, and you never have to hurt yourself again. Just remember our line, darling you'll be ok." He smiles. Nice go there, Vic.
"But no seriously, forget what your ex said." Mike says. "You are important. You are loved. By a lot of people." I start to tear up from what's going on, but I hold it back.
"Well, we've gotta get going. We have to be on stage soon." Vic says to me giving me a hug. I look over at Jack, still tearing up.
"What was that about?" I ask smiling.
"Well, you said they were your favorite band, other than us." He tells me. "I know you wanted to meet them really bad, and of course why not make it happen, and make it special?" I then give him a hug.
"Thank you so much Jack, for everything." I sniffle. As much as I wanted to cry, I refuse to let it get out. A couple hours pass and it's time for the guys to perform. I stand along the side watching them play as I have the entire tour. When my queue comes, I run onto the stage.
"I've got your picture" I sing then mouthing out "I'm coming with you." as the crowd sings it. And as before, I finish the song with Alex, then sing my last line. "I've got your picture, I'm coming with you. Dear Maria, count me in. There's a story at the bottom of this bottle." I naturally look up at the crowd and notice someone familar. I continue to glance at them and then gasp.
Doomerz was standing in the crowd, and now has caught me staring. I instantly feel tears about to fall, so instead of finishing the song with the guys I run off stage. When I get off stage, Flyzik grabs the microphone away and puts it back.
"Megan, are you ok?" Flyzik asks me.
"No, I need a minute to myself." I run away from the stage and sit by a nearby tent, put my hands on my face and instantly burst into tears. I know that he's here to cause some kind of trouble. Every time I see him, it's nothing but trouble.
"I knew you would be here." A familiar voice says. "That's why I showed up, well to their set particularly."
"What do you want, Doomerz?" I ask crying my eyes out. "Can't you see I'm miserable enough?"
"You seemed fine till you ran off stage." He laughs angrily. "So, I'm here because we need to talk.
"I don't want to talk." I say under my tears.
"A friend of mine called from Baltimore." He states. "I hear you're knocked up."
"Yeah, and?" I answer. I still am crying hard, and notice that I can't stop.
"You really are just so pathetic." He growls. "Did you learn nothing from me?"
"No, I learned that you're an idiot and to ignore you." I respond, starting to calm my tears, only now I'm getting angry.
"No, I'm no idiot. I meant what I said. I know many people who will agree with me. You're a nobody, you're incapable of raising a child, much less making anyone happy. You will always be the failure that you are. You really should just kill yourself. Why won't you?" Just then I start to bawl my eyes out.
"I know! I know that I'm a failure and a nobody. I know that I should kill myself but I-" I was yelling as loud as I could when I hear a voice.
"Hey! What's going on?" I look over and see Mike, the same one from Pierce The Veil that I had met earlier. "Are you Megan's ex that everyone's been talking about." Just then, Doomerz total attitude changes.
"Yes, but it's not like everyone thinks. I love her, I want to be with her, but she won't take me back." I then roll my eyes, still crying. Mike then pulls me into a hug, refusing to let me go.
"From what I hear, you think she should kill herself because she's a failure." Mike responds. "If you really loved her, you wouldn't say those things about her."
"Well, I, um, well-" Doomerz was now speechless.
"Right, thought so." Mike laughs. "I suggest you walk away now and leave her be, or we will get security to kick you out of here." Doomerz then growls and walks away.
"Wow, thank you Mike." I answer, while he is still hugging me.
"Anytime. Oh by the way, us guys stayed to watch All Time Low's show, and saw that you performed with them." He says. "You were great. You're definitely not a failure if you're able to get on stage and rock your heart out while he watches you."
"Thanks.. I guess that's true." I laugh nervously. I put my head into his shoulder, still crying when I hear Jack's voice.
