After listening to the song I made my way upstairs. Matt stayed downstairs and continued working on the song and whatever else he was doing down there. I still couldn't believe he had written a song for me. My heart was still racing, and butterflies still filled my stomach.

I entered the kitchen to see my phone lighting up on the kitchen table. I had a message from Brian;

What time should we all come over tonight?

I had almost forgotten that the guys were coming over to hang out to night. I had also almost forgotten that I would be a continuing a tradition that my parents and I had. I quickly texted him back,

How about 6? I can't wait :)

The day passed by slowly, I spent it doing various activities to keep myself busy. Matt persistently worked on the album downstairs.

I suddenly heard the basement door open up, so I shut off the TV quickly and turned around.

"Well look who decided to come out of his cave" I laughed.

"Sorry, I just had a couple of songs I really had to edit" Matt sighed as he walked over to the couch and took a seat next to me.

"Don't be, I'm still an Avenged Sevenfold fan so I really want to hear the finished product of this album" I admitted.

A smile grew on Matt's face before he replied, "You can call yourself a fan all you want, but you're part of the Avenged family now"

A wide smile grew on my face.

"Welcome to the family" Matt grinned as he wrapped his arm around me. I laughed slightly, not sure what to say.

Minutes passed by slowly when a knock was heard at the door. I lifted myself up off the couch and made my way to the front door. Matt followed behind me. As I opened it I saw Brian and Jimmy standing on the front steps. Brians face lit up with excitement when he saw me. He quickly made his way through the entrance to give me a hug. He picked me up and spun me around as he did so.

"Morgan" he sang, "I missed you" He mumbled into my neck.

"I missed you too" I laughed. Brian continued holding me in the hug, I looked up to see both Jimmy and Matt laughing. I eventually was freed from Brian's strong embrace and made my way over to see Jimmy,

"How have a ya been?" Jimmy asked as he pulled me into a warm hug.

"I'm good" I smiled, "Where are the rest of the guys?" I asked.

"They're on their way" Brian answered as we all walked into the living room. As soon as we sat down another knock was heard on the door.

"I'll get it" Matt offered, as he got up and left the room.

"So what's been happening in your life?" Jimmy asked, trying to start a conversation.

"Nothing exciting" I sighed.

"How's school?" Brian asked.

"It's school." I laughed slightly, "Some day's I love it some days I hate it and it doesn't help that I have a maniac roommate"

"Oh yeah, how is she?" Brian laughed at my comment.

"I've been avoiding her as much as possible, and I haven't talked to her since you left" I admitted.

"Is she that bad?" Jimmy asked, glancing at Brian who was shaking his head.

"Yes" Brian and I said simultaneously.

"She convinced most of your fanbase that I was cheating on Brian and Matt and I was in a threesome with them" I rolled my eyes.

"She's a real sweet girl" Brian said sarcastically.

"I'm sorry about that" Jimmy said sincerely.

"Thank you" I smiled as he wrapped his arm around me and I leaned on his shoulder.

Matt walked in with Zacky and Johnny behind him.

"Jimmy!" Matt laughed, "Are you stealing my girlfriend?" He teased.

"It's a possibility" Jimmy smirked.

I laughed, " Actually, I'm not your girlfriend"

Matt's face dropped, which cause me to add onto my sentence.

"I mean, you never asked me to be your girlfriend again" I said carefully.

"Well then it looks like we'll have to change that" Matt smiled as he walked over to the couch and pulled me onto his lap.

Johnny and Zacky both greeted me and asked me how I was doing before we proceeded to the kitchen where we spent the majority of the night baking. I think we ate more cookie dough and cake batter than all the desserts we made though.

It was around 10 when Jimmy suggested, "We should go down to Johnny's for some drinks"

"I'm in" Brian smirked.

"Guys…" I began before Brian cut me off.

"Here's a fake ID, use it" He smiled as he handed me the card, with my picture on it and a phony birthdate.

"Sweet" I laughed slightly as I held the card in my hands and observed it. All the guys except for Brian and Matt had already left and headed to Johnny's.

"Seriously Brian?" Matt said coldly.

"What, we all did it when we were her age" Brian reminded him.

Matt let out a long sigh before replying, "But we at least looked like we were 21, Morgan looks younger than her actual age"

"Matt, I'll be fine" I said as I held his arm and looked up at him.

"See, everything will be okay" Brian smirked as he placed his hands on my shoulder and Matt's shoulder. Matt and I both stood there as we watched him head out to his car and leave with Jimmy.

I looked up at Matt who still looked pretty worried, although I didn't know why. I knew that they all use to go to Johnny's as teenagers and the owner never had a problem with them being there.

"Hey, you okay?" I smiled looking Matt into the eyes.

"Ya" Matt mumbled.

"Then let's go have a good time" I spoke as I took his hand and led him out the door.

Matt and I both climbed into his car and made our way to Johnny's. The last time I was there was the night Matt and I had our fight. As We pulled in the parking lot, I saw the guys all standing outside waiting for us.

"Morgan, act old" Jimmy smiled as we walked up to him.

"Will do" I smirked.

"Are you guys serious, Morgan doesn't have to worry about acting old she's going to fit in perfectly" Zacky point out, "I mean look at what she's wearing."

I had never been in Johnny's so I wasn't quite sure what they ere referring to but I was wearing doc martins, with skinny jeans that had patches on them, a sex pistols tshirt and a leather jacket which had various pins and patches covering it.

We all walked over to the entrance, Brian held the door opened for me and being my normal observant self I noticed that the door had the Operation Ivy Ska Man painted on the inside of the door, and in white letters on top of it read; Unity. Operation Ivy had always been one of my favorite bands.

"That's pretty awesome" I said pointing at it. We continued walking in, I can't even begin to describe Johnny's it's one of the grungiest and darkest places I've ever been but it's like heaven to me because it's 100 percent punk rock. There was a mural of the Ramones on one of the walls, a picture of a Rancid album cover on another wall, a picture of a Misfits cover on another wall and the list goes on. To top it all off though, above the bar there was a spot with crosses and pictures of Jesus in memorial to singers who have past, below was a list of singers and one of them was Joe Strummer, my favorite singer and person.

"So what do you think?" Matt whispered nervously.

"I fucking love it here" I admitted.

Matt smiled at my comment. We made it to the bar and all took seats. The bartender, of course, knew the guys and they chatted up a storm about the upcoming album. As far as drinks go, I wasn't planning on getting too drunk so I ordered some Scotch. I sat quietly and listened to the guy's conversations.

"Morgan, you want a shot?" Johnny asked me.

"Why not" I shrugged as I took the small glass out of his hands.

"Cheers, to our friendship" Jimmy toasted. We all held up our glasses and clanked them together. I tilted my head back and drank the shot quickly, it wasn't a bitter as some shots I have had.
I continued to sit there quietly as the guys continued with their various conversations. Most of them had to do with the album or song writing. I also listened to the music that was playing. Johnny's played really good music. Currently, one of my favorite songs was playing,
Fix me, fix my head
Fix me please, I don't wanna be dead
Someday we'll all be rich
Someday I won't listen to you bitch
I'll turn up the volume
And you can hear all the shit we play just for you

I noticed someone sit down next to me, but I didn't pay much attention to it until he started talking to me.

"So do you come here often?" The man asked.

I looked over to find myself staring at a man who seemed like he was in his early twenties. He had brown hair and a black shirt on, there was nothing too special about him.

"Nope" I said quietly.

"So where are you from?" He asked, as he leaned towards me.

I felt slightly uncomfortable, because he was obviously flirtatiously trying to get into a conversation that I didn't want to have.

"Boston" I sighed.

"Why are you here then?" He sounded confused.

"I'm visiting some friends" I replied reluctantly.

"So, can I buy you a drink" He smirked.

"No thanks" I said looking into his eyes, which were emerald green. They were mesmerizing to say the least. I turned away from him and played with my cup that was once filled to the brim with scotch. I suddenly felt a hand on my thigh.

"So what's you name?" He asked.

"Morgan" I mumbled.

"That's a beautiful name for a beautiful girl"

"What's your name?" I sighed, regretting that I had even asked him.

"TJ" He smirked, as his hand traced the patched on my pants, "Now, I have one more question for you"

I gave him a slight nod before he proceeded to ask me, "Are you single?"

Shit.

"Well, kind of" I said truthfully.

"So you wouldn't mind if I do this?" TJ said huskily as he brought one of his hands behind my neck and the other to the side of my face. He pulled my face close to his before planting a kiss on my lips. I pulled myself away with all my might. I didn't understand how the guys weren't seeing this. I thought quickly and grabbed Matts drink that was next to mine on the bar and splashed it in TJ's face.

"You bitch!" He growled as he slapped me hard in the face, it sent me back and flying on to the ground. Now Matt and the rest of the guys noticed.

"Morgan?" Matt spoke in a confused tone. He looked up to see TJ with a death glare staring down at me, " You!" Matt hissed as he got up out of his chair and didn't hesitate to punch TJ right in the jawline.

"What the fuck did you just do to her?" Matt yelled at him. I tried watching but my vision began getting blurry. I felt myself fading off, and then I was gone.
