It was finally the weekend and Avenged Sevenfold is playing at some huge concert thing where Disturbed, Black Veil Brides, Falling In Reverse, Natural Born Killers, and Escape the Fate are playing also. I’m really fucking excited but it’s in a few more hours.
“Rev wake up.” Zacky said poking Jimmy.
“James Owen Sullivan get you tall ass up!” I yelled in his ear
In a flash he was pulling me on top of him tickling me.
“No!” I screamed He continued to tickle me until I couldn’t breathe.
“Rev.” Matt said walking into the room with Val.
Jimmy let me go and I fell into Zacky trying to breathe.
“You okay baby?” He whispered I nodded and kissed his neck.
I felt Val giving me a death stare.
“Those are some pretty stitches. What happened?” She asked
I just stared at her, I felt Zacky wrap his arms around my waist because he knew I wanted to lunge at her and beat her face in.
“She doesn’t want to talk about it.” Zacky said turning my body to face his.
I clung to his shirt as I knew Matt was probably confused as hell. I heard Jimmy shuffle off the couch and walk over to Matt.
“Can I talk to you in my room?” Jimmy asked
“Yeah.” Matt said I heard Val huff.
“You’re a fucking bitch for telling Jimmy. Are you sleeping with him too? Just like my boyfriend and Zacky? For whom by the way is only with you for sex.” She said
I felt Zacky tense up and hold me tighter, I clenched my fist around his shirt and didn’t move.
“Val you are so fucking lucky that Zack is holding me. I’m pretty sure you’d need a nose job about now.” I whispered.
“Stop lying Jimmy.” I heard Matt yell.
I felt like I was slowly going to tear this band apart. I felt the tears over flow my eyes and I heard stomping. It was Matt, I pulled away from Zack and sprinted for the front door. When I was out and away I just started to run.
“Brice come back!” I heard Jimmy yell
“Baby!” Zack yelled But I didn’t listen I just kept running I didn’t know where I was going but I was going somewhere. I eventually stopped at a park about twenty minutes from Jimmy’s house. I felt my pockets and realized I had my phone on me. I looked at it and I had about thirty missed calls, half of them from Zacky a few from Jimmy and two from Matt. I had seventeen voice mails all from Zacky but two, one from Jimmy and one from Brian. I listened to one from each.
Zacky: Baby please come home I can’t find you anywhere. None of this is your fault, none of us are mad we’re scared. It’s getting dark please come home. Jimmy: Brice where the fuck are you, we have a movie night date tonight! Please come home, they aren’t here anymore they left.
Brian: Brice why’d you run off, I need you to come home.
I slid my phone closed and held it then I started to get another phone call, it was Matt. I answered.
“You fucking bastard. Never yell at Jimmy he doesn’t fucking lie. But if you don’t believe us then fuck you!” I yelled then instantly hanging up.
I looked up at the sky, it was turning a dark blue like the night sky. I started to run home, I was always afraid someone would take me away and rape me. When I finally got into my neighborhood I walked to my old window. I slid it open and climbed in, nothing was changed, and I walked over to my dresser and slid my jeans off. I pulled my fleece pajama pants that had little A7x’s all over it and walked over to my closet and grabbed a hoodie. I pulled my shirt off and but the hoodie on over my bra. This was one of my favorite hoodie’s, it said ‘BAKER’ across the back. I had stolen it out of Zack’s dresser a few years ago, probably when I was fifteen. I snuck back out the window and walked into Jimmy’s house. Brian, Johnny, Jimmy, Matt and Zacky were asleep on the floor. I walked over them and went to where Zacky was, I knew he was a deep sleeper so I pulled the blanket up and crawled under it laying in front of him and sharing the little corner of the pillow he was using. I wasn’t going to sleep anytime soon or at least I didn’t think I was. I felt Zacky’s arms snake around my waist and he pulled me tightly to his bare chest. “Never leave me like that again baby, I can’t stand the feeling of my heart strings being broken. Brice promise me.” He whispered.
“I’ll try.” I whispered back
“I love you Brice.” He whispered nuzzling his face into my neck
“I love you too baby.” I said actually meaning it.
I didn’t sleep so I listened to what was going on in the living room full of guys. Matt did his usual and sung in his sleep, Jimmy snored really loud, Johnny was kicking his blanket off of him and grunting while doing it, Brian was snoring softly almost being shushed by Jimmy’s Godzilla snore, Zacky was just making cute little noises. I listened to the grandfather clock tick and chime. It finally chimed eight times and I knew it was eight in the morning, I heard rustling around and I knew guys were waking up. I slid down under the blanket so they wouldn’t see me.
“I’m going to make breakfast. Are pancakes, eggs and bacon okay?” I heard Brian ask
“Sure.” Matt said
“So did she answer your last call before you pasted out Matt?” Jimmy asked
“Yeah and she screamed and didn’t give me a chance to say anything.” He said “Well would you rather her yell or kick you so hard in the nuts you’re on the ground for an hour?” Brian asked
I remembered that, he really pissed me off last year and I full forced kicked him in the nuts like I would a soccer ball. He was on the ground not moving for at least an hour.
“Rather get kicked.” Matt said
“Why?” Johnny said
“Because I don’t like it when she lies or when she’s mad at me.” He said
He still thought I was fucking lying. What the fuck.
“Why do you think she’s lying?” I felt Zacky’s chest vibrate as he talked
“Morning sleepy head.” Matt said
“Answer my question.” Zacky said
“Because Val is my girlfriend and she’s nothing but sweet to Brice.” He said
“That’s when you’re around or we’re around. You don’t know what she does when they are alone Matt so you can’t accuse my girlfriend for lying. Or when you called Jimmy a liar, since when does he lie? You are stuck in your own little word that just revolves around our music and Val.” Zacky said sitting up revealing me.
“She was here the entire time?” Johnny asked
“No she crawled in about two thirty this morning.” Zacky said I sat up and looked around, Matt was staring at me intently.
“What?” I asked
“You scared us all even Val.” He said
“Fuck Val. She would be the happiest person on the planet if I fucking disappeared and you know it Matt!” I screamed running up the stairs.
“Matt can you please leave my house.” I heard Jimmy demand in a nice way “Why?” Matt asked
“Why’d you bring her up to Brice? She got her head bashed into a sink for just living with you for a month Matt. Can’t you see that you’re calling us liars and you don’t even know what the fuck is going on in her life? Your girlfriend abuses her Matt. And you called me a liar so get the fuck out of my house!” Jimmy yelled
“Fine.” Was all Matt said as he stomped out of the house.
“Guys.” I whispered
“Yeah Brice?” Johnny asked
“Am I tearing the band apart?” I asked quietly.
“No baby you’re not. Matt is just had his head shoved up Val’s ass right now. He doesn’t understand. I heard what she said yesterday I was actually a witness to her bitchyness.” Zacky said taking me into his lap.
“Don’t ever think that again B if anyone were to tear the band apart it would either be me or Val.” Jimmy said walking over and kissing the top of my head.
“Why would you tear it apart Jimmy?” I asked
“Because I’m not the brightest guy.” He said
“You’re brilliant James and you know it. You just make poor choices.” I said
“Ahh that name.” He laughed
“James Owen Sullivan.” I teased.
“Brice Austyn Marie Jamie Carter.” He said saying my entire name that only he knew
“That’s your full name?” Johnny asked
“Sadly.” I said
“It’s cute and it fits.” Zacky said
I groaned and then my stomached growled.
“Hungry?” Jimmy asked
“No.” I lied
“Foods done.” Brian proclaimed
