I was currently hidden behind the wing of the stage curtain as Grey Lightening was in full swing. Luckily I was only standing in these heels for only a short time before a kind stage hand named Keith, brought me a stool to sit on.

One thing I knew for sure was that I definitely had the best seat in the house. I watched song after song as the boys did their thing, each of them getting lost in the music.

Johnny was to the back, rattling away on the drum set and until this moment, I didn't know that it was him that played the drums. I thought it was Maddox but clearly my visions were wrong. Benny was diagonal to his left, singing and contributing to the amazing music with his electric guitar. Straight across from his right side and in front of me, was Maddox. He too played the guitar but when Grey's voice needed a rest, he was singing.

Grey stood to the front of the diamond like layout. He was centre stage. He held an acoustic guitar in his hands, the strap going over his muscular shoulders as his mouth caressed the microphone. He was absolutely breath taking, something about seeing him up there...hyping the crowd and his voice filling the entire area and consuming me whole was a completely and utter turn on.

"How is everyone tonight?" Grey asked huskily into his microphone. He lifted a bottle of water from in front of him and took a few sips.

The audience was going wild, I giggled at the girls in the front row. If the security didn't stand below the stage, there would have been a stampede.

"I fucking love you Greyson!"  A woman screamed into the only second of silence.

I watched as Grey smiled, looking towards the lady who was in the front row. He sent a wink her way causing her to wildly scream shaking her friends beside her.

"I see you girl." He smirked adding another wink.

I did not feel jealous. I did not feel jealous. Nope, not at all. They're just fans. They love his talent.

"We're going to change things up a little tonight for you all." He smirked, "We're going to need your help though." He told the crowd as they screamed wildly, flashlights dancing in the dark from near and afar.

"You may know this song, it's called...demon heart." Wild and frantic screams came from the crowd at the mention of the song, I watched as Grey turned to look at Johnny with a grin. He looked so happy and so comfortable on stage. "We're gonna need all of you to sing along...that includes you too beautiful." He told the woman who had previously shouted her undying love for him. He crouched down at the front of the stage and I watched as the group of girls at the front almost dislocated their arms trying to reach out for him.

"Johnny...do you want to kick this off?" He turned and asked him as the drums began to lay a foundation for the beat. "Let's fucking go!" Johnny shouted back and just like that, they were in full sync.

Music blasted my ears, the audience was deafening as they sang along. I have never seen something so inspiring in my entire life. These four men in front of me brought this entire stadium to life by the power of their talents. It was incredible.

"Would you like a drink Miss?" I turned to the kind stagehand called Keith, his red hair spiked on his head with little freckles going across his cheeks and nose.

He was cute but also looked quite young. He had a thin build to him, rigged in a black uniform.

"Sure, what do you have?" I asked sweetly causing his cheeks to flush slightly.

"Well...there's soda, water and...and wait you might want alcohol, yeah we have that too and.."

"Do you have any cocktails?" I asked right off the bat, it was one of my favourite potions to drink.
