We have all been hanging out at zackys house for a few hours now and I still couldn't believe I was with avenged sevenfold right now!!!! It took every ounce of my self control to keep from acting like a total fan girl, and it wasn't easy. Especially with Brian and zacky being so close to me all night. I seemed to be picking up some tension between them but just shrugged it off they probably just had a long week with all the lessons they've been doing. But then I thought about how one of them was always close to me, pulling me away from the other one. Oh get a fucking grip Frankie like they would really fight over you! Get a grip" I thought to myself laughing. But apparently I laughed loud enough to catch everybody's attention and make them look at me like I've lost my mind.

" care to share what's so funny ma'am" Brian smirked nudging me with his elbow. I felt my cheeks heat up as I waved him off. Thankfully I heard someone walking through the front door which took everybody's attention off of me.

" hey babe I'd like you to meet our new friend Frankie" Matt stood up to meet Val stretching his arm towards me.

" oh hey Frankie I'm Val it's nice to meet you" she beamed reaching her hand out to shake mine.

" It's a pleasure to meet you too Val" I smiled at her as she sat down next to me.
we all sat around drinking and eating as I told everybody my life story. Not that I wanted to but they kept egging me on so I finally gave in. I told them how my mother left when I was 2 because heroin was apparently more important than her family and that it was just me and my dad until he passed away. And about me being in the army overseas.

" So you came straight from Iraq to here?" Matt questioned me in disbelief.

" yep like I said I don't have any family in the states anymore so I figured once I got out here I can get a job and just kind of rebuild my life I guess" I shrugged as I saw the pity on everybody's faces which killed me. I'm a very independent person and I hate when people pity me.

" well you have us now" Val cooed placing her hand on my leg.

" And until you find somewhere to live your going to stay with one of us we're not letting you live in a hotel" Matt spoke giving me a stern look.

i grasped my hands together looking down at them. " believe me I really really appreciate it but really ill be fine. I've been in way worse situations". I nervously chuckled trying to lighten the mood in the room. Which didn't work at all.

" oh and you and me are going shopping tomorrow, because I'm sure you need stuff." Val blurted out. As I started to open my mouth to protest she put her finger on my lips silencing me. " and I won't take no for an answer, here right down your hotel address and phone number and ill give you a call in the morning" she said handing me a pen and paper from her purse. I jotted down my info and handed it back to her.

" Thanks Val it will be fun. I haven't been shopping in forever" I smiled genuinely excited to have some good ol fashion girl time that didn't include going to the range.

" We'll guys thank you again so much for everything but I should get going this jet lag is starting to catch up with me" i sighed as i heard a round if boo's come from around the room. I stood up only to lose my balance and fall on top of Brian. I seemed to have forgotten that when you drink a shit ton sitting down it doesn't really hit you till you finally stand up.

" Oh god Brian I'm so sorry, I have to teach myself how to handle my mad dog again" I sighed still mortified that I just fell on top of him infront of everybody.
i felt his hand slowly wrap around my waist grazing my bare skin. He leaned me up slowly as I felt his warm breath on my ear. " we'll if your gonna do that every time you drink mad dog ill have to make sure I get you some more" he sensually whispered in my ear as I felt my panties dampen. I hopped up quickly standing to my feet brushing the hair out of my face.

" There's no reason to leave just stay here" zacky whined pushing out his bottom lip which made me chuckle. He was so damn cute when he pouted like that. I thought about it for a second as much as I wanted to stay I really needed to get some sleep and I knew if I stayed here that would never happen..

" I'm sorry zacky believe me I want to stay but I really need to get some sleep"

" well let me get my keys and ill drive you back" Brian jumped up to fish in his pockets for his car keys.

"no you don't mr. Haner! You've been drinking ill just call a cab" I mock scolded him. He then too poked his bottom lip out making me sigh. God these men are going to be the death of me. Once my cab arrived I said my goodbyes and headed back to the hotel. As soon I stepped foot in the door I head my phone ringing and I sprinted over to the table to grab it.

" Hello" I said a little unsure having no idea who would be calling me at this hour.

" Hey Frankie it's zacky" he breathed out. " sorry to call so late but I wanted to make sure you got back alright"

" oh well thanks zacky that's very sweet of you" I smirked. Our conversation kept flowing so much that I looked at the clock to realize we had been actually talking for 2 hours!! Just as I came to that realization I heard a knock at my door.

" sorry zacky someone's at my door, ill talk to you later" I said quickly feeling slightly bad for having to end the convo so suddenly.

" It's ok it's late anyways. Sweet dreams" he yawned out. I said my goodbyes and headed to the door opening it just a crack to peak out as I met 2 beautiful chocolate brown eyes staring back at me. " Brian??"
