Were UH-MAZ-ING!!!!

Kay, so me Laura and Rhii wemt to the manchester acadamy yesterday to see Papa Roach, Madina Lake and Heavens basement. The queue was enourmous and we were kinda far back, t not too far. So, we go in at 6:30 and stand sorta four rows from the front. Slipknot came on and we were all singing.

Around 6:50 Heaven's beasement came on, i wasn't expecting much, but they were freakin' awseome! They got us all jumping, singing, clapping and everything. The singer had awseome hair! So, we were off to a good start.

There was another little interval of around twenty minutes and Madina Lake came on. They were good but, i was a little disappointed. I heard they were amazing live and they were just good y'know? So, i was looking forward to one song, One last kiss, and they didn't do it! I was so pissed. At this point we decided to move, cos we're wimps lol.

So, we moved back a little and met some cool people, they were really amusing to listen to. Then, we were singing to Dirty little secret very loudly and everyone was givving us what the fuck looks. But, then pantera's walk came on and we danced. Papa Roach took AGES to come on. But, finally they were on.

They started with boys of war and i was screaming so much. Then, they went into Change or die. It was like a lotta jumping! Then, was lifeline, god i love that song, and Jerry's hair was shiny by the way. She loves me not was next so, everyone was rapping along. Coby kept telling us how much he loved us eeek. There's like a blank there for me cos it was fucking hot and yeah. Next song i remember propperly is Scars.

We had a leetle probblem there, Laura fely faint. She was like, sitting on the floor and i was like erm......ehat do we do? So, we moved to this crappy litlle spot right at the side by the railing. Wwere there and Laura drank like, a whole bottle of water. Forever was next, i think and he said "This is for all the little dirty girls out there." lol. So thee was some other songs and then......

During Hollywood Whore Coby jumped in the crowd. Right in the middle. Last time we wen he didn't do this so, i was like "argggghhhhh" So, next song we were all there in the crappy spot when Coby come right down to barrier by us. I didn't notice at first and rhii goes "Chrlotte he's fucking here!" I like ran and jumped towards him. Laura was holding his hand, Rhii his arm. I just missed and he like grinned crazily at us. I was like "noooooooo i missed him!" But, laura got him which, was good as she's like in love with the guy.

They went off then, came back to do the encore. Coby wanted to do a death wall, he said "Now all the crowd seperate!" but, he stopped and said "I wanna see fucking carnage!" So an enourmoys mosh pit started, i didn't join in. Lol.

Then of course they finished with Last Resort!

Second time i've been to see those guys and they just keep getting better! I wanna go again already even thoug the base was way too loud and my ears are sill ringing!

Izzy out. xoxo

Oh, and Tobin's had a haircut by the way.

"Former members of Papa Roach, Chevelle and Rock Star Supernova have joined P.O.D. guitarist Marcos Curiel in a new band, Daylight Division, that's posted two tracks online and is in the midst of writing and recording its first album."

DAYLIGHT DIVISION on MySpace and Twitter

Yeah, so, it's a very weird plot.

Pretty crazy.

Tell me what you guys think, yo. ;D

[Dr. Wes Borland's Point Of View]]

"So, I was minding my own business in class, and Josh decided to tell me, in full detail, how my teacher looked. It was very distracting, to say the- No, Josh. I'm not insulting you, I promise!... No, shut up!... I understand he has nice hair, but I will not go up and touch it!"

Name: Sage Aleena Harris
Disease: Schizophrenia
Doctor's notes:
They seem to multiply. First there was the one she called Josh. He seems the like the main voice inside her head. He "Cuts her off" when she talks, and seems to say very dirty things. Yesterday, she said that another appeared over night. His name is Jimmy. I don't know if she names them herself or not. Jimmy, she says, so far is just extremely random and is no threat for her health. I'm very worried, to say the least.

"Miss Harris, Josh does not exist. Don't pay any attention to him, and talk just to me. Did you dream last night?" Sage looked upward at nothing, still mumbling to the voices inside her head. She smiled, and giggled, turning a scarlet color. "Sage, Sage." I snapped my fingers, gaining her attention immediately, and she opened her mouth to say something.

"Actually, no. I didn't get much sleep last night. Jimmy kept me a- SHUT THE FUCK UP, JIMMY!- wake." She cracked a small smile, and tapped her head with the tip of her pointer finger.

Scratch that, Jim is a threat to her health.

"That's not good, sweetheart. Let's not try to add insomnia to your list." She laughed again, laying back down on the small, brown, leather couch I had sitting in my office.


[[Sage Harris' Point Of View]]

You want to do dirty things with your doctor, don't you, Sage? Don't you?
I like to do dirty things with vacuum cleaners.
Shut up, Jim. I'm trying to give Sage dirty thoughts so that I can watch when they do something.

"You can't watch things, Josh. You're just a voice inside my head. You don't have eyes. Or ears, come to think of it. This is strange." I talked in a horse voice to the two boys that resided in my head, staring blankly at the spotted white tiles on the ceiling.

"What can't he watch?" I snapped my head sideways, looking into Dr. Borland's chocolate brown eyes. 

"Nothing. He's trying to put dirty thought in my head. Ignore it."

"You should ignore it." I looked at him again, putting my, "Are you stupid?" face on.

"Are you stupid, Borland? I can't ignore them. It's like they're implanted in my brain." I got an extremely weird tone of voice, and narrowed my eyes at the man in front of me. He shook his head, writing something about me on his paper. "Don't be writing things about me, man. I don't like when people talk about me." Wes sighed heavily and tapped his pen lightly on his clip board.

"Is there anything about the voices that I should know?"

"Jimmy likes to do dirty things with vacuum cleaners. Good enough?" I chewed on my lip, and looked around the room that I've grown to hate. I hated coming to the meeting. An hour a day. A very very slow hour. Wes Borland was my doctor. My very sexy, very rough doctor. I stayed up late thinking about doing dirty things with him. Josh caught me one night. He's never let it go.

Oo, I think Borland is checkin' you out!
Yeah, checkin' yo' out!

"WOAH!" I shot up off the chair, and help my head in my hands, "New voice. Who are you?"

...
...
...

"Anyone in there?" I wrapped my knuckles against my skull, trying to awaken the voices again.

...
...
I'm Jacoby.

"Hi, Jacoby. I'm Sage." I stroked my hair and closed my eyes, letting a small smile grow on my face. Dr. Borland watched me with a puzzled and worried look on his face.

"Sage?"

"Borland. What time is it? I want to go home."

What'd you think? :D

Haven’t updated in quite a while just busy trying to get by in these hard times so working whenever I can.So this is a  review since I haven’t really been doing too much.

            So on August 19^th Vero and I drove all the way to Fresno for Warped Tour we got there about 1130am but went to the mall because it was way too hot omg it was 107 we are use to the hottest being  90 degrees. I love their mall we are planning a shopping trip when it cools down lol. We arrived at the venue maybe 1230 or 1 we got there right when Aiden was playing we tried to rush in but barely missed them. I finally got my Skate 4 Cancer shirt. I love the work Rob Dyder is doing it’s a cause close to my heart . the heat was just too much we escaped to the savemart center theater which had air conditioning we saw frank from the gallows in there which was surprising since a lot the bands weren’t walking around freely like the SF stop because it was just too hot!!! The first band we were able to see was InThis Moment I told vero she would love them and she did the lasttime I saw them was for Ozzfest yes a long time ago the had a small corwd and but they didn’t care they said if we give it our all they would too. They ended coming to the crowd to play well some ran a circle pit around Vero was in Ahh.  I had totally forgot it was Vero first warped so we made a pack to leave after blacktide which was only and hr and half before the end since Tyson from SKSK wasn’t even there so I didnt mind missing their set. Black Tide was great even though they had a small crowd they gave it their all and I’m glad Vero is now a fan and it not just because Steven Spencer looks like Jacob lol All n all im glad we went  love driving to shows its like a mini roadtrip. I wanted to go to Shoreline the next day but work wanted me at 10am so I didn’t want to drive all the way out to get there for like the last 2 bands.

             After  warped my work schedule totally changed they want me to go in at nights which is so weird to wait around all day so I haven’t been going to shows . I was really bummed  that no one got back to me about going to Papa Roach which was yesterday  have been waiting forever to se them live I was like might as well go into work until Monday afternoon I look at my phone to see and email from a unknown address saying my Papa Roach tickets have been waiting for me at the local radio station and the office closed in like 4 hrs so needless to say I first jumped up and down called work said I couldn’t go in my boss is so cool!! Ran down got tickets and invited Rose to go  We got there late like always missed saving abel but didn’t care I was there for P Roach !! All of a sudden I see the Papa Roach banner in the back OMG its still daylight I was upset they played so early and no one was into their set but me and a few faithful fans beside me Since it was daylight I had to only use my camera very selective since they deemed it a professional style whatever. P Roach gave their all they played all my favorites and closed with of course Last Resort which everyone started to get with the groove of it lol.

So Hinder came on the Nickelback it seemed everyone there was for nickelback they knew every word me and Rose felt so weird lol I wanted to leave after P roach but decided to stay since tix were free. Nickelback brought the lead singer from Hinder and Jacoby back on stage and sang Highway to Hell by AC/DC. I liked how nickelback talked to the crowd and such it did at times feel like a jam session I liked that fact. We left before the encore and got right outside when nickelback came back on stage we looked at each other laughed and walked to the car and beat all the traffic. So no big shows planned yet  maybe  Trivium later this month. I am going to be going to Gardening ,Not Architecture’s sows that are part of the EIY tour I believe 2 shows for sure still thinkng about the Stockton and SF show

If you are in the Bay Area them come out

But yeah, I hope you like it, because I really do. Like, really really do.

[Sage Harris' Point Of View]

I walked down the street with both of my hands stuffed in the deep pockets of my tick fluffy winter jacket. Snow swirled all around me, and stuck to my eye lashes, making them a little heavier than usual. I smiled, though, as music blared in my ears and I mouthed the words along, snow falling into my mouth a little. The hood of my jacket was turning white as the snow fell upon the fur- looking fluff that covered the outside rim. I looked up just in time to see the building that was Starbucks right across the street, and smiled knowing that I'd be out of the cold in a few seconds. I pocketed my iPod, and sprinted across the street, barging through the doors as soon as I got there. I inhaled sharply, taking in the warm sweet smelling air, and looked over at my best friend Vienna who was manning the counter alone.

"Someone's a little late." She smiled as I walked behind the counter and hung up my jacket.

"I know, I know. My car wouldn't start again, and I had to walk the whole five blocks here." She laughed a little and tossed me the knit beanie that I had to wear for work. I slipped the black and green apron on, and turned to take Vienna's position. Today was my day to put up with all the bitchy teenagers.

"Yo, Sage!" I looked up, and grimaced as a pair of teenagers walked up to the counter. "Can we get the normal?" The shorter of the two asked, licking his lips and winking. I just rolled my eyes, and looked at the second one. 

"You paying for Hart again, Shaddix?" The teen in front of me licked his lips again, and turned to the taller boy. He laughed and turned back to me.

"Fuck no. That ass can pay for himself."

"Three eighty. Both of you. Vee, one gingersnap latte, and one peppermint white chocolate mocha." Both of the boys handed me fives, and I noticed James' eyes jet to behind to counter, watching Vienna work. He watched her with total lust in his eyes, and he smirked a little.

"So, Vee. When do you get off of work tonight? I'd like to take you out on a date to the movies or something." I turned to see my best friend not ever bother to turn around, and answered with a small,

"Seven. Oh, and not happening." James' face dropped, and he looked rather angry.

"Good, I didn't really want to date you anyways. No one would ever want to date a pig like you." My mouth dropped, and I was about to reach over the counter and smack a hoe, but before I could, James' pipping hot peppermint white chocolate mocha spilled all over his face. He screamed, and picked up a chunk of napkins to get the steaming liquid off of his face. "You fucking cunt! You're going to fucking regret that, you skank! Jacoby, we're leaving." Jacoby hesitated  to follow him, but grabbed his drink out of my hand, and hurried after the fuming teen. I turned and high- fived Vienna, smiling.

"Priceless, dude. Priceless." She smiled, and looked at the rest of the people in the building.

"Hey, there's nothing to look at anymore." Everyone turned their eyes away, and sipped nonchalantly at their drinks. Vee sighed, and walked to the front of the counter to start cleaning up the new mess. "I swear to God, if we weren't getting paid ten bucks an hour to work here, I'd quit." I nodded my head in agreement. Sixty bucks a day was a good deal for a seventeen year old, and a sixteen year old who was about to turn seventeen.

She finished cleaning, and walked back behind the counter while mumbling a small, "Here we go again," just as a giant mass of black walked through the door. Four of the six men were pretty tall, standing at least a good head taller than myself, one of them was giant, and the last of the six was tiny, but still a good half a head taller. Two girls trailed after them, and again, one of them was taller than I was, and one of them was a lot shorter. Every single person in the group of eight had all black on, their almost white skin seeming even whiter in contrast with the dark clothes draped over their bodies.

The taller of the group was the first to make it over to the counter. He smiled down at me, and I looked up at him to return the smile, but froze up. "Hello," He grinned wider, the three piercings lining his bottom lip caught the light, "I would like a peppermint mocha twist, please. Extra hot. It's FFC outside, man." I nodded, and mumbled the price, extending my hand for the money. I pulled my hand back, but his hand shot out and grabbed my wrist, bending down to read the tattoo that wrapped around it. "... Black on black on black." He read it aloud quietly, and looked up at me with the biggest grin on his face. "And here I was just thinking that you were naturally shy." I scoffed, and pulled my hand back.

"Don't start getting cocky with me, boy." He just laughed, and took the cup of hot coffee that Vee had just brought up.

"And hello to you, too." He looked back behind me, and smiled at my partner. I heard a small noise behind me that almost sounded like a squeak, and Vee was suddenly next to me. Chris studied both of us for a second, then smiled,

"I remember both of you guys from the last few shows."

"We've been to all of them here. Which, you know, seeing as how we kind of live in the same town..." She smiled and looked down, blushing a little. Chris laughed a little, and reached out to touch her shoulder.

"Vienna, right?" She nodded, and he smiled again. God, that child smiles a lot. "Sweet, I remembered!" He winked at her, then turned to me, thanking me for the drink before walking off to find a table big enough for eight. Most of the group followed him, obviously not wanting to get anything to drink, but a few of them stepped up to the counter.

"Just a black coffee, please." I looked up, and refrained from squealing as Ryan looked down at me.

"Uh, two dollars," he paid and took his drink, quickly sitting down next to Angelo. I shook my head, and looked up to be met with two pale green eyes staring down at me. I gulped, and lost my balance, stumbling backwards a little. It's something I do when I'm taken off guard. His eyes widened, and his hand shot forward in an attempt to catch me.

"Are you okay?" I nodded, and opened my mouth to say something, but was cut off by Chris.

"She'll be fine, Josh. We've just got two home town fans on our hands. Hey! That almost rhymed!" I snickered, then flicked my gaze up to the shorter man, turning scarlet once I saw the small smile creeping onto his face. I looked down, and turned around, shoving Vienna a little.

"What do you want?" She asked with an irritated tone, hitting me with her towel.

"Please, just take his order. I'll make it, just take it." She turned around, and looked at who it was before turning back around and laughing loudly.

"Nooopppe. Go." She shoved me back towards the counter, making me stumble into it. I looked up, and smiled shyly at both of the boys.

"Hi," Chris just looked at me with a smirk on his face, and raised one of his eyebrows.

"Are you sure you're going to be okay? You're looking a little, uh, pale." I just turned red again, and looked at all the different buttons on the cash register.

"I- I'm fine. C- Can I t- take your, uh, order?"

"What was that? I couldn't here you through all the stuttering." I shot my head up, and glared at Chris.

"Shut the fuck up, Chris. Go sit back down, I wasn't even talking to you." He just let out a loud laugh and walked back over to the table to sit down. I pulled the metal ring on my lip into my mouth, and looked back up at the man in front of me. He had a small, adorable smile on his face, and he let out a tiny laugh.

"You don't have to be scared, ya know. I don't bi-"

"I'm not scared! Just tell me what you want, Josh." He laughed again, and put a hand on my shoulder. Fuck, there goes those butterflies again.

"Can I just have a large cup of hot chocolate?" I sighed, and extended my hand for the five that he was fishing out of his wallet. "Oh, I like your tattoo, by the way." 

"I have cooler."

"Jeez, how old are you?"

"Sixteen." He looked down at me, and frowned.

"Ho-"

"My cousin runs the local tattoo parlor." He nodded, then smiled down at me.

"How many are Motionless related."

"You don't even know my name."

"It's Sage. Name tags are amazing. Now, answer my question?"

"Three"

"Out of?" 

"Six. Now, here's your drink." He took it, then handed me the five and walked off. Great, I get to keep the change. I put the five in the register, and looked up at the tiny male in front of me. "God dammit, what do you want, TJ?" He frowned, and put a hurt look on his face.

"Wow, uhm, angry much?" I frowned, then shook my head.

"No, I just want all the butterflies to go away, and with you standing in front of me, that's not going to happen." He grinned, and ordered his drink. "Four fifteen, please." He handed me a five, then told me to keep the change. I put the five with the others, and noticed a small, white piece of paper behind it. I picked it up, and looked at TJ who just took the drink out of Vee's hand, winked, and sat back down. I unfolded it, and made a sound that sounded like something close to a squeak. Vienna walked up behind me, and looked over my shoulder.

"What is it?" I turned, and smiled a little while shaking my head.

"His number. Idiot." Vee laughed, and took the piece of paper from me.

"More like a creeper." I lunged, trying to get the paper from her, and she just laughed and eyed me. "You actually want it?" I placed my hands on my hips, and sighed.

"Have you seen the child?" There was a small ringing noise, and both us turned to see the mob of black walking out of the door. I sat on the floor behind the counter, and looked up at Vee who had an amused look on her face. "What?"

"Nothing, nothing. So, you're keeping it?"

So, yeah. Again, I hope you liked it.

Comments = Love. ;D

So...Ppls, It's My turn to Post...:P

So enjoy's!!!!

Gemma's POV

"Jacoby, Just get out. I love you and all but I've seen enough of you for tonight" I said pushing him out the door

"But Gem, I don't wanna go back home... Shanna's not there" He said making puppy eyes at me

"And I'm supposed to do what about that??" I said

"Amm, be the bestest friend ever and let me say here" he smiled at me

"Sorry, but I'm flying out early tomorrow Morning to meet Emily" I said

"But Gem" he said

"Jacoby if your that lonely go and stay with Jerry or Tobin" I said
"Fine" he said

So he hugged me and headed down the stairs. I closed the door and dragged myself over to the couch and flopped down on it.

"Peace at last" I said to myself

But then I heard something faintly shouting outside. I walked over to the window and opened it. It was Jacoby. I rolled my eyes when

I seen him smiling at me.
"What Now" I shouted
"Gem, I'm lost" he smiled
"Fine, you can stay here tonight" I finally gave in
I seen him clap his hands excitedly like a little girl and skip back into the building. I rolled my eyes.

***

"Shh!" I whispered to my cell falling on the floor
So yeah I trying my best not to wake Jacoby, cause he's a bitch if you wake him too early. Lol
My room looked like a bomb had gone off in it. Clothes, shoes, paper everywhere. Now if I could only find my passport. Ugh!!,
I wonder is anyone as disorganised as me. Lol

Emily's POV

I sat their starring at the wall. Boredom was part of this but over all there was nothing to do. I had gotten up around 7, showered, got dressed and packed up my things from the bathroom. Pulling my cell out of my pocket checking the time seeing it was ONLY 10am. I sighed and lied back on my bed. I wonder what Jimmys up to

***

Jimmys POV

*Few hours later*

I walked off the bus and started to run over to the nearest tent. It was down pouring like a bitch!
Jeez man whats with the freak weather? I asked
Zack was sitting beside me. Dont know man, its weird and came outta no where
I nodded.

Hey do you know what time it is? I asked
Zack looked down at his watch and then looked up to me. 2:30
2:30 huh that meant Emily should be here any time now, right?
I walked away and went over to the beer tent, getting something to drink and then went off avoiding the rain as much as possible. It would just be a matter of time before the first show would start.
End of POV

Jacoby's POV

Bang!
I sat straight from the sofa.Whao!, What was that??
"Gemma!!!!!!!!!!!" "Gemma!!!!!!!!!" I shouted
But there was no answer.Hmm she must of left already.
So i strected and walked over to the fridge to see if there was anything, and to see if Gemma was lying. Then i spied a note stuck to the fridge.

"Hey Jacoby...

So that means....... DON'T FORGET THEM OR LOSE THEM okay!!!......lol

"Right, I can do that" I smiled to myself
So i opened the fridge but the thing was empty, all there was ...was another note.
"Oh yeah..... place is empty :P lol

"Damn her" I though to myself

Just then my cell starting ringing in my pocket....

"Ello" I answered

"Yo Dude, where are you??" Jerry asked

"Morning to you too!" I laughed
