[Erin's POV]

"So, how are you doing??" Clara asked me.

Clara's kids, Rose and JC, ran off to meet the other band members, so its just me and her.

"They're so nice, Clara, but I'm so scared," I said.

"Have they hurt you, done something to you??" she asked.

I shook my head. "Well.... one of them is making me blush," I mumbled.

I then looked over at Max seeing him drink water before Ronnie scared him from behind making him splash himself a bit and cough on water.

"Well he's quite dorky," Clara chuckled.

"But he's really nice, though," I giggled as Max glared at a laughing Ronnie while Ron handed him a towel.

"I know. You shouldn't be afraid though, Erin. So far everyone has been nice to you. Don't let fear win over you," Clara said, gently clutching to my shoulders.

I sigh and nodded as we both hugged.

"You're going to be just fine, and I'm always a phone call away," Clara said.

I nodded and Craig then came up to me.

"Here, Erin. Noise here can get pretty crazy. These are earplugs that will help keep your ears from hurting or from going deaf," he said, handing me some earplugs," he said, placing 2 little buds in my hands.

"Will I still hear the music?" I asked.

"Yeah, of course. This just works kind of like a hearing aid," he said.

"Oh, okay," I said.

"Escape the Fate in 5," a stage hand called out.

"See you after the show. Hang tight, alright??" he said.

I nodded and then Clara had to go find Rose and JC.

I walked back to the side of the stage to see the crowd.

It was then Robert came up to me, startling me a little.

"Don't wander off, alright?" he said.

I nodded as he walked towards the drum kit, the crowd cheering as then he was followed by TJ, Max, and then Craig.

It was pretty loud so I put in the plugs, seeing Roy and his family stand by my side as the band started to play a song called Ungrateful.

Trying to tear me apart,

Breaking me down to the bone

So listen closely,

'Cause what you don't see

Is there's still blood inside this beating heart

Still bleeding,

Still waiting

Falling through grace,

You laugh in my face

But you are the one who will leave with the beating

With bleeding hands I fight for a life that's beat me down

Stand up and scream while the rest of the world won't make a sound

Rising again from the fire,

A Phoenix alive and inspired

You can't erase me, won't even faze me

No one hears a fucking word you say

Still bleeding,

Still waiting

Falling through grace,

You laugh in my face

But you are the one who will leave with the beating

With bleeding hands I fight for a life that's beat me down

Stand up and scream while the rest of the world won't make a sound

With bleeding hands I fight with the problem in me now

Stand up and scream while the rest of the world won't make a sound

Stand and scream [x4]

[Guitar solo]

With bleeding hands I fight for a life that's beat me down

Stand up and scream while the rest of the world won't make a sound

With bleeding hands I fight with the problem in me now

Stand up and scream while the rest of the world won't make a sound

With bleeding hands, with bleeding hands,

We stand up and scream while the rest of the world won't make a sound (stand and scream [x4])

They were amazing!

I clapped my hands and cheered on with the audience.

They then went to singing another song.

I watched Max play bass the entire time. I smiled as I did.
