One Shots

Beautiful Graves

"I tore my eyes out, slit my wrists to breathe. Call me pathetic and torture me, cause in my mind I can't breathe!" I sang along, dancing inside my bright bathroom. Tonight, I finally got to see the Vampires Everyhere! concert. I was so happy to see the men I love so much play live.

My hair was curled, perfect ringlets hanging down. My white cut up Hellbound and Heartless shirt hung loosely on me, stretching down half way to my knees, looking very scuffed. It wasn't trashy, but the shirt gave me an edgy look. My black skinny jeans fit my legs perfectly, silver pins shining in the bathroom light. An old pair of blue converse were laced tight onto my feet, the same shade of blue as my hair. I pushed the home button on my iPod, the screen lighting up and showing me the time. 5:37. I was exactly where I wanted to be, grabbing my phone, iPod and tickets before walking out of my front door. The venue was a short walk away from my house, the fall air gently blowing. I played with the laminated pass as I walked.

Within 8 minutes, I was walking into the warm venue. Not many people had come yet, so I was glad to come early and have time to myself. I pulled out my headphones from my pocket, blasting Get Scared into my ears. Half way through If Only She Knew Voodoo Like I Do, a tap on my shoulder distracted me from the music. I pulled my headphones out, expecting to find an employee telling me I couldn't sit where I was sitting right now.

I was wrong.

"Hey." Aaron Graves smiled at me. I tried to stay calm, keeping my craziness contained.

"Uhh, hi!" I smiled, standing up to face him. Smokey coal-looking eyeshadow with red highlights surrounded his gorgeous brown eyes.

"Why are you here so early, if you don't mind me asking." He questioned, choosing words carefully.

"I wanted time to myself. I like being in venues before everyone shows up." I explained, trying not to smile like an idiot. I was talking to Aaron!

"Me too." He stated, looking down to my shirt.

"Oh, you have a pass!" He observed happily. I nodded.

"It was a birthday present to myself."

"Is your birthday today?" He asked. I nodded again. His chocolate eyes shone beautifully.

"Awesome! Come with me." He said, offering his hand. I accepted it, biting my cheeks to keep from smiling again. Aaron took me to where everyone was relaxing before setting up. He introduced me to Michael, Zac, Jay, Alex, and David. I smiled to them all, extremely happy. Aaron held my hand the entire time.

Two hours later, the boys were out onstage, running around. They were so themselves when they played their music. It showed, all of them opening up and letting their true selves go out there. After their classic song, Immortal Love, their set ended. Before they said goodnight, Aaron walked towards me and grabbed my hands. I refused to walk out their, but his eyes melted me, and he knew what he could do. We'd flirted before the show, but I didn't think anything would happen.

"You guys are going to sing Happy Birthday to Marissa with us, right?" Aaron yelled into the mic. Cheers answered him. The guys circled me, Aaron hugging me to him.

"Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, DEAREST FRICKEN MARISSA!" Aaron screamed loudly into the mic, making me laugh. "Happy birthday to you!" Everyone ended the song. Out of nowhere, Aaron's finger lifted my chin. I looked into his eyes once more.

Then he kissed me.

It was the best kiss of my life. Not just because it was the man of my dreams, but he was so careful about it at first, growing into repeated hungry little kisses. I felt my cheeks heat when I realized we were kissing in front of 1,000 people. He pulled away, smiling widely.

"Will you please be my girlfriend?" He asked, kissing my lips once more.

"Yes I will." I smiled, wrapping my arms around his neck as I felt him sweep me up and run offstage. He put me down as soon as we were out of sight of everyone, including the others that had backstage passes as well. He set me down, lacing our fingers together as we walked into the room where we had been before. He placed his hands on my hips, kissing me again. I bit his bottom lip, feeling him smile as I did. He sat down on the chair next to the couch, pulling me onto his lap. His arms hugged me lovingly, my hands playing with his hair.

"Aaron's in love tonight, with Marissa!" Michael sang, the rest of them behind him smiling and laughing. I blushed, Aaron kissing each of my cheeks.

"Yes I am." He spoke, looking into my eyes.

"This is the best birthday I've ever had." I told him, kissing his soft lips once more.
