It turned out that my mom had her pills and even though it was a bad thing, she gave me one. It would hold me off till we can get me some more. I thanked my mom and we brought our things in the rooms. Our parents got our own bed while me and my siblings got our own too which was fun because me and Sam usually scared the crap out of Alex. Like tonight, Sam and I were planning on sneaking around and making weird noises and set off fireworks or something for Alex.
“Mom, what if Sam and I played a prank on Alex?” I asked her.
“Then I will ground you till your thirty and make you clean Alex’s room for a year,” She said not looking up from her luggage. I chuckled. She straightened and looked up to me.
“I’m not joking,” She said with a straight face which caused me to smile. My mother and I were close, I was a mothers boy and my sister was close to her too but Alex was a daddy’s boy. My mom laughed too and shook her head, “You’ll give your brother a heart attack.” She pointed out. That’s the one thing that sucked, we couldn’t have fun with him we had to be careful or he would have s heart attack and possibly die.
“Fine we wont,” I said lightly, “Ruin the fun,” I chuckled. My mom straightened and had some clothes in her arms.
“I know Wes,” She smiled and went to the bathroom to change. I came and laid down on the bed and peered up at the ceiling and sighed. My phone vibrated again and I pulled it out seeing a message from Facebook.
I sighed and looked at it wondering who in the heck it was, I just hoped it wasn’t a fan girl or something.
It was a guy named Z. Bat, I had no idea who in the world it was but whomever it was, his profile picture was a death bat, probably a fan. I clicked on the message and it was just one simple word.
Hi.
So, I decided to respond, seeing if this guy was worth to block or not. So, I wrote: Hey back and shoved my phone back into my pocket and sighed, hearing my mother come out of the bathroom in her best red and black best. She always wore red and black, and sometimes pink.
“Ready hun?” She asked me.
“Yup,” I got off of the bed and fallowed my mom out of the room and down into the car were we drove off back to the Venue to see our huge family.
My mom and I were rocking out to some Metallica on the radio and were singing along. I loved my mom, she was awesome and she was the best friend I could ask for. I didn’t really have any friends but she was my best friend along with my sister. I could tell me mom everything but I wasn’t sure if I could trust her with the secret of mine because I wasn’t sure myself.
We pulled up the Venue and came into the back and came inside and I saw my sibilings on the stage yelling and being random with my dad sitting at his kit laughing while Brian picked Alex up and spun him around.
“Got you now!” Brian said and brought Alex to the couch.
“I swear you have ADD kid,” Brian said and I came to my brother and sat down on him and he whined.
“Get your fat ass off of me!” Alex cried and I just wiggled my butt and he wined more.
“Oh is it torture little brother day?” Sam asking coming in the back with us and I nodded. Alex’s eyes grew wide.
“No it’s not! You know what momma says!” He cried. We laughed as Sam and I looked around.
“Looks like she is making out with dad,” I said pointing to the drum set. My mom was sitting on his lap and I had no idea what they were doing but I didn’t care. What I did care about was that I could actually torture my little brother. Sam and I looked to one another and she rushed to the side of the stage and came back with duck tape. Alex’s eyes grew wide as she let a strand out.
“No! Don’t you-” She ripped a piece off and put it on his mouth before he could say anything else. He glared daggers at us as we laughed and looked for someone to see us. They were getting everything checked, their mics, dads drums, Zacky and brian’s guitars. Then we heard footsteps come to us and saw Abby with a smile on her face.
“What are you going to do to him now?” She chuckled. I got up finally and Sam grabbed his wrists while I grabbed his ankles.
“Not sure, care to elaborate while we drag him off?” I asked Abby. She laughed and nodded and she fallowed outside where no one could hear Alex scream for mercy. We weren’t that harsh to him he just wanted people to make it seem that way. We came outside and Sam got the pleasure of ripping the duct tape off and Alex screamed and shot daggers at the three of us.
“You guys are total dicks,” He said only to make me laugh.
“Aw come on Alex your fun to tease,”
“Says you!” He scuffled and got to his feet. I shook my head and Sam and I looked at each other and it was weird because we both just nodded and picked Alex up again and left him screaming and kicking us.
“Shut up Alex you loud mouth!” Abby complained making me laugh. He punched by back and I could only laugh. We brought him to the tour bus and put him on the couch while Abby came inside and locked the door. I stood up beside my brother and sighed.
“To be honest I can’t think of a damn thing to do with you,” I said putting my finger on my chin. My brother looked worried. If I didn’t have something, Sam did and he turned his attention to her and she had a huge smile on her face.
“You, darling little brother,” She chuckled and pulled out a bag from behind her back, “Are going to be my little sister for the evening,” She said. Alex’s eyes grew wide and he stoof but Abby quickly pulled him down.
“I’ve always wanted a baby cousin!” She cried making me laugh.
“Don’t you dare!” He gasped. My sister went into the back and she came out with a skirt and a pink t-shirt of hers and some high heels.
“Of course little brother,” She laughed, “Wes, keep an eye for anyone coming inside,” I nodded and looked outside and watched for any of my family members, especially mom and dad. Since Alex was the baby of the family they cared about him a lot more, of course.
It only took us an hour to get my little brother dressed because he wouldn’t stop moving around.
“I hate you guys,” He glared at the three of us who were standing in front of him laughing. He had his pink shirt on and the skirt. His arms were crossed in front of his chest and my sister had put on mascara and eye liner on him and some blush stuff. Then his hair was normal all in his face but with a barrette in it and some pick hair dye that will wash out in a few months.
“Come on sissy!” Sam exclaimed causing me to laugh hysterically. She went over to Alex and put her arm in the crook of his and she started to walk him to the door and he stopped and moved his arm.
“I am NOT going out there!” He said making daggers to her and then the door.
“Oh yes you are sissy, just for the night,” She chuckled.
“I’ll get the duct tape and told mom what really happened to her kit,” I explained to Alex. Again his eyes narrowed at me and he took a step forward and I was holding in a laugh.
“You wouldn’t dare!”
“Oh I would Alexandria,” I chuckled. He balled up his fists and almost swung when Abby took a step ahead of me with her arms crossed.
“Now you wouldn’t hit your older brother now would you?” She asked. Alex wouldn’t, he loved me to much. That and he knew that he would get pumbled and mom and dad hated it when we would get into fists fights. My mom would actually break down and won’t talk to anyone for a while which I didn’t get why.
Alex sighed and looked over to Sam, “Only for the beginning, after like two songs im going to get out of these freaking things,” He said pulling the weggie out of him. My sister laughed and agreed and he held onto her trying not to fall from the high heels he had on. Abby and I were walking behind them trying not to laugh but we couldn’t help it, the look of Alex walking and just being in a skirt was making us laugh uncontrollably.
That’s when my phone viberated again. This time it was a Facebook message and my father asking were we were. I knew that we were going to get into trouble for leaving like that. I guess a lot of things happened when we were little but I couldn’t remember any of it but it made my parents kind of clingy to us.
We’re coming dad just forgot something on the bus. I lied. I was going to get yelled at for lying but it was some what worth it seeing Alex like this. I looked at the Facebook message and the person asked how I was doing so I replied that I was doing good actually and he told me that he was excited that he was going to be seeing a concert tonight.
Me: Sweet me too!
Him: Who is it?
Me: Avenged Sevenfold
Him: That’s awesome! Who knows might see each other ;)
Me: Yeah, maybe
Him: Your Wesley right?When He asked me that my heart froze. Who in the heck would know me? I mean I didn’t know him but he knew me. It was probably just another fan trying to get a hold of my parents or something. I don’t know. I ignored him though and shoved my phone back into my pocket and came inside the Venue. My sister and Alex were going to be in the crowd just like they always were for some reason. Abby would go too along with Phil but I think it was just because those two like each other. They had since we were toddlers, weird I know.
I came in the back were my mom was and she looked at me questionably.
“What were you guys doing?” She asked.
“Nothing mom,” I chuckled.
“Yeah sure,” She shook her head and the concert began and we stood there and watched from the side stage and watched them perform. It was exciting to me to see my dad playing. I loved hearing him and I loved hearing my mom. They taught me and my sister when we were really little how to play instruments. Johnny taught Alex to play the bass and it was awesome to have a musical family.
After a while I left to go to the bathroom and my mom came with me for some stupid reason, probably thirsty that and my dad didn’t want her alone when she was in crowds like this. When I came into the boys room I heard crying. I turned the corner and saw my little brother up against the wall crying. There was blood on his hands and on his nose.
I ran over to him and held him close only to have him shove me away.
“Go away!” He yelled, “I hate you!” He cried. I heard a cry from behind me and saw my mom running over to us and picked up her little baby boy and hugged him close to her and he clung onto her and took him back to the back, we were dead.
“What in the hell is you two’s problem?!” My dad yelled in the tour bus. We were on our way home. My brother had fallen asleep after the concert and he carried his son back and took him out of the clothes and cleaned him up a bit before taking him into bed.
“It was just a joke,” I said lightly.
“Bull crap! That was humiliating and not only that but your brother, your little brother got beat to a pulp! And where were you Sam, huh?” He asked looking to her. My mother was sitting there looking at the both of us glaring. I felt bad, no doubt about that, I didn’t mean for Alex to get hurt.
“I was in the crowd I didn’t notice he was gone,” She said. Mom freaked out at us, both of them actually saying how someone could of taken him and could or rapped him and crap, telling us horror stories that I really didn’t want to hear. My mom told my dad to go and be with Alex and calm down and she looked at the both of us and sighed.
“You two…give me your phones,” She said. Sam and I both looked at one another and handed her our phones. She shook her head and looked at us, “Both of you apologize to your brother tomorrow and I want you to both to stay with him at all times, if I see one of you alone your dead, got it?” We nodded and she left to go into the back and Sam and I looked to one another. We already knew what we were both thinking, that what we did was just wrong and thinking back on it, we should of never had taken him out there like that.
When we got back to town, we made a pits stop at the store and Zacky had came with me to go and get my pills with me. Ever since his girlfriend left he didn’t talk much so we seemed distant to one another.
“How are you Zacky?” I asked him. He looked up to me and gave me a small smile which made me smile.
“Good, how about you Wes?” He asked shoving his hands into his pockets. We came inside the store and made our way to the pharmacy.
“Fine, got in a lot of trouble,” I said lightly. I heard him chuckle.
“I know your dad told us,” He chuckled and I felt his hand on my shoulder. I don’t know why but for some reason it felt different when he touched me. I mean when uncle Brian or uncle Matt touched me it was like they were family, as well as uncle Johnny but with Zacky, it didn’t feel like that.
“It’s going to be alright,” He said letting his really pretty green eyes look into my brown ones. I nodded looking down to the floor as his hand fell to my side. We didn’t talk much on the way to the Pharmacy but when we got there I got my refill and was told to come back later on to pick them up. So, we decided to get some dinner.
Everyone else went home and Zacky had driven his car here instead of taking the tour bus. I felt bad for Zacky because his girlfriend abused him and always yelled at him so when she left, I don’t know why but he became distant from everyone else. We got some Chinese food and came and sat down at the tables making small talk, then of course it got to the part of him asking me if I had a girlfriend.
“No,” I said lightly looking down to my dinner. I suddenly didn’t want it. I don’t know why it was such a sore subject to me. Maybe it was that I tried to ask out a girl and she would laugh at me and call me pathetic. Ever since then I didn’t really try anymore because it would be the same thing over and over again and it would break my heart more and more. Then the kids thought I was gay because I didn’t talk much, had long hair, wore black nail polish and all that. I hated them and I couldn’t wait to just leave.
“You alright?” Zacky asked me. I looked up at him and nodded.
“Just thinking,” I said lightly. He nodded, his fingers going onto my wrist causing me to tense. There was something about him that was different from my family, I didn’t really consider him and Johnny my family and I don’t get why.
“It’s alright you can talk to me you know,” Zacky said. I nodded, hesitantly and moved my hand away onto my lap, loosing appetite in my dinner. I shoved it away and got up, asking him if I could ask a cigarette. He cocked an eyebrow at me and shook his head.
“A seventeen year old don’t need a cigarette,” He pointed out, “When did you start anyways?” He asked. I rolled my eyes and moved my bangs from my face.
“When I was thirteen, stole them from you guys and my dad, easily,” I told him, “And no one knows that thank you,” I pointed out seeing his eyes wide. If he told my father, I would mess him up. It’s just something I picked up because my family was going through a ruff patch. My brother had went into the hospital, we found out that I had that mental illness and my mom blamed herself about it and she was scared.
We came and paid for my prescription and I asked if I could barrow his phone. I just snuck onto Facebook cuss curiosity was getting to me for hours and it was bugging me. I logged on while Zacky went to go and find some food and I stayed out in his car. I say that I had a message and he said:
You look beautiful tonight.Which then caused my heart to hammer against my chest. What in the world…how did he knew me? Hoe did he know what I look like? I mean…gah! I hate having rockstar families. This was weird but it was…satisfying. I never heard someone tell me that before and to be honest, even though it was from a guy, I liked it.
I felt my self smile though but that was quickly taken away when Zacky scared my by coming into the car. I signed out and gave him his phone and smiled to me, his finger tips lightly brushing mine. That tied my stomach into knots and I looked out the window sighing, thinking of whoever that guy was on Facebook and what he had just told me.
