Brian's POV

I woke up feeling so damn good,for unknown reasons really.I just felt excited,and I dare to say..Happy.Yes,one of the limited mornings that I actually had an urge to do something,and that something should definately include HER.I wanted to see HER,watch HER smiling,nodding,laughing..anything really,as long as it had anything to do with her.I know it was getting close to becoming a full time obsession,and I only knew her for 3 days,but I couldn't deny that she made me feel things that Michelle never made me feel...now that I think about it not a single woman ever made me feel like the way Sierra does.

So,thinking I totally sounded like a highschool boy that had his first big crush,I got out of my bunk and headed straight to the bathroom,deciding it would be best if I took a quick shower before soundcheck.I finished getting ready real quick,and believe me that was a first for me,and got out of the bus,immediately spotting the stage.

As I reached the backstage area,I noticed that Sierra's band was doing their soundcheck,however Sierra was nowhere to be found.The moment I thought about asking that Jason guy about it,Sierra walked on stage ,muttering a faint sorry to her band mates,grabbing her guitar and quickly starting her warm up exercises.

I waited for her and the rest of the band to finish their soundcheck,and seeing that no other a7x member was there except for me,I decided to go and just talk to her for a second.The moment I got close to her,though,I got a bit worried about her.
She had black bags under her red eyes,something that implied she either hadn't slept during the night,or she'd been crying for hours...now that I think about it,maybe both..

''Hey,are you okay?''I asked,and noticed how she lifted her gaze from the ground and looked at me,a faint smile on her lips.

''Hey,I'm fine...just tired..didn't get much sleep last night that's all!You?''

''Oh,I'm okay..''I answered,not really believing a word that came out of her mouth.I could tell she'd been crying,and that something had made her super upset during the night.But I couldn't figure out what..she was fine when she decided to leave the party last night...
Seeing that she remained silent,I tried getting a different response..maybe an honest one..

''Are you sure,though?You are doi...''I began,but someone came and interrupted me.

''Hey,Sierra,I need you to come with me...me and the guys are talking about some stuff and we need your help.''that Jason guy said,and Sierra quickly nodded,mouthing a sorry towards me as she stood up and followed him.

Now,don't get me wrong,but I think that Jason definately had something to do with it..He somehow made her sad last night,and that irritated me to the point that it wasn't even funny.Nobody messes up with her...not anymore.

''Man,c'mmon we need to finish this sh*t already..''I heard Matt's voice,and groaned remembering I still had that soundcheck left.

''Okay,Im here..''I responded,grabbing my guitar and standing up.

''Let's get this over and done with..''I thought to myself as I walked on stage.

Sierra's POV

Needless to say I ''woke up'',since I barely got any sleep last night,only to realise that I was late for soundcheck.That dream haunted me,that man haunted me and I could already tell my whole day would be ''dedicated''to the dream.I just couldn't take my mind off of the barely-breathing Jason right by my side,couldn't forget the twisted glow in Noel's eyes when he insisted I was the reason he ended up the way he did,that I created the whole mess that would hurt the people I cared about.

I got dressed in anything I found right in front of my eyes,and practically ran towards the stage area,only to find that everyone had already started their warm ups.I walked on stage,muttering sorry to everyone,grabbing my guitar and quickly starting playing some chords,trying to draw as little attention to me as possible.

When we finished our soundcheck,that seemed to be going on forever,I started walking out,and sat somewhere that hopefully not many people would see me.However,the one person I really didn't want to see at that moment spotted me,and sat right beside me.

''Hey,are you okay?'',he asked.If only I could have him just disappear for a little while..I really didn't want to break in front of him..God,I only knew him for days and I still thought somewhere in my head that it would be okay to just open up and tell him everything..

''He did the same thing for you,Sierra,yesterday...But still,if you tell him about your past,he sure is going to walk away.'' that voice in my head whispered,and I couldn't help but agree with it.

''Hey,I'm fine...just tired..didn't get much sleep last night that's all!You?''

Something told me that he didn't believe what I just said,and it actually bothered me.Im not an easy person to ''read'',but Brian seemed to have everything about me already figure out,because believe me,once you get to understand when someone lies,you sure get to be able to know almost everything about him.

I heard him trying to ask me again,but THANK GOD,Jason jumped in from nowhere,asking for me to follow him for some reason.I stood up,mouthing ''sorry'' to Brian,and went after Jason.

We got into a room,and Jason locked the door behind us(If I didn't know Jason,I'd say he was going to rape me!).

''Okay,now tell me what happened..''Jason started,a serious look on his face.''And Don't tell me ''nothing''because I know something is wrong..Last night you were doing great,then you went somewhere with that ''Gates'' and we all lost you...and today we wake up to see you crying in your sleep and everything...what the..?''Jason began rumbling when I decided I'd heard enough.

''Well,first of all,don't even think that Brian had anything to do with it..And what happened yesterday is none of your concern....Jason,I dreamt of something yesterday,I saw HIM again,Jason...''I said,the last words coming out like a whisper..

''..You are talking about Noel,right?''Jason asked,and when I nodded,he continued.

''Sierra you really need to put this whole thing behind..he's not going to hurt you!Not after what happened..the Aliance kicked him out,he has ,no friends,NOTHING! He can't touch you,okay?And I promise that even if he finds a way to do that,I'm going to...''

''What?Are you going to protect me,Jason?Are you going to die for me?Because that will sure help me of course!''I cried out in desperation.''That's exactly what I'm scared of: someone else getting hurt because of me,because they wanted to protect me and I couldn't protect them from anything...not even myself..''I whispered,feeling tears running down my face again..god why am I being so emotional lately?I'm not even pregnant...

''Sierra don't think like that,okay?Nobody is dying,not now not ever....The thing is you have people that can protect you..people stronger than him and you know it..''Jason said calmly,as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his hug.

''But they are so far away,Jason...they can't help anyone from that far..''I muttered.

''Well you have people here too,people who are strong and would give anything to protect you...he's just a man,Sierra...now he's only a poor,helpless,desperate son of a b**ch that has nothing to do with his life...and in his sick mind the only thing that will bring him back is you..so don't worry,he's not getting near you...noone is going to allow that to happen.''he said reassuringly,and I felt my insides calming,to the point where I considered myself capable of getting a peacefull nap in his arms..That's one of the reasons I loved Jason..he could always make me feel calm,and safe..

''Jason,just stay here,let's sleep for 10 minutes...pleeeeeeeeeease?''I whined,making him chuckle,whispering an alright as I relaxed in his arms,allowing my self to fall asleep.

When I woke up,I immediately stood up as I realised we were on in like 15 minutes! Thankfully I managed to put on a decent outfit,and headed straight towards the backstage area,spotting the guys already there,holding their guitars and everything.I spotted the Avenged guys there too,Brian checking his guitar while talking with Zacky..

''Thanks for waking me up,Jason!''I said,sarcasm evident in my voice as I grabbed my guitar and made sure everything was okay.

''Oh,cmmon darling,you looked so peacefull there,I couldn't do this to you..''he said with a smile as he leaned and placed a kiss on my lips,making me smile..It was nothing really,we would do that anytime we wanted to and really didn't have any sense of romance in it..Me and Jason used to date a few years ago,but we realised that we were friends more than lovers.

''Flirty much,Jason?''I asked joking,and he placed another kiss on my lips,smirking..

''Okay,that's enough!We are on in 5 minutes!''I shouted,forcing Matt and Nick to come closer to Jason and I,since always those two would go on stage first.I noticed,though,that Brian was nowhere to be seen..

Weird,he was here like 5 minutes ago...

Brian's POV

Sierra was gone the whole morning.After we finished our soundcheck,I started searching everywhere for her,but couldn't see her anywhere,so I figured out that she was with Jason,that annoying bastard.

''Maybe they are dating,Brian,who knows?!'',a quite voice filled my head,but chose to ignore it.No way they are dating...she deserves someone better,for sure..

''Like who?A whiner like yourself? A 30-year old man who stays married with a cheating bitch and starts crying in front of her ? Oh,yeah..Jackpot ''the voice insisted,and I swear I was willing to start hitting my head against any wall I could find just to make it shut up.
However,when I spotted Jason coming in alone,I felt some sense of relief rushing through my veins,and a smile made its way upon my face.

Sierra walked in ,looking perfect as always,flashing smiles everywhere.I pretend I didn't see her,and started doing small talk with Zacky,but kept looking at her from time to time.

''God,why is she so perfect?'' I thought to myself as I kept my eyes on her figure,as she was-again!-talking with Jason.

And,then,the one thing I thought I'd never see happening took place.

He KISSED her!And clearly she didn't pull away..She smiled. I tried to play it cool,but failed miserably, as I chose to walk back in whatever room I could find,because I literallyu felt I would punch the guy..

Great...everything is SO F***NG great now..

Sierra's POV

We finished playing,and walked off stage,cheers from the audience being heard all over the place.I saw the guys in Sevenfold getting ready,and wished them luck,hugging each and everyone of them...well not everyone...as Brian decided he HAD to get something right when I turned to hug him,and run off towards a room in the back.

I frowned,but then again,I couldn't understand why he acted that way.So,I shrugged,following the guys to our tourbus,where I immediately got in and started taking a hot shower,satsfied with the way my life was going.

Tonight the ''party''was on the a7x's bus,and by party I mean both bands would gather,drink a couple of beers and just have a good time.

Deep inside me ,I have to admit,I was dying to see how Brian would act around me that night...

Brian's POV

The gig was great,even though my mind was only on Sierra and what the deal was with Jason...Jesus f***ing Christ!S ynyster Gates, a guitarist every single girl on this planet wants in her bed,feeling so damn jealous of a woman,a girl practically...But I knew,the insecurity was from Brian, myself ,the guy that obviously wasn't meant to find happiness in this world..maybe in afterlife..with Jimmy...

But,NO,I sent my negative-suicidal thoughts out the window,as her words came back in my head , forcing me to smile..She was my thing to hold on to...like an angel sent from somewhere far , far away...

And right then I spotted a face in the crowd...a slutty face that seemed quite promising..Half her boobs hanging out, tongue piercing ,tons of make up on her face.She definately wasn't a fan,she wasn't singing the lyrics or paying attention to the music..she was there trying to be a groupie..''Wrong Choice,darling...''I thought to my self,as I wasn't much of a skanky-girls lover..I loved naturally beautiful girls..

The show ended,and I headed straight to our bus,intending to shower first..After I was done,I went to the bunk area,and laid straight in my bunk.

Just the moment my eyes started drifting to sleep,Matt's voice reminded me of the fact that Devilish Greens were actually gathering in our bus for a ''party''.I silently cursed at my self,and got ready in no time,but still looking good.

I stepped out of the bus,and headed towards an isolated location behind it,and decided to smoke my fist cigarette for today!-yeap,unbelievable..not a SINGLE dose of nicotine today...well I'm about to change that...

So I started smoking,and as I stood there looking at nothing in particular,I saw the girl from the show standing in front of me,the same time Sierra and her ''boys''got in our bus.
And then it clicked! Jealousy is the most powerful weapon in any love game...I mean,it worked on me now didn't it?And with that thought on my -apparently-twisted mind,I crushed my lips on the skank's red ones,and she just deepened the kiss even more..I stopped because frankly I needed some air,and whispered in hair 5 times pierced ear.

''Let's get the show started...in the bus''and smirked as she nodded,winking at me.

''Well,this is certainly going to be interesting...''I though as we walked towards our bus,hands linked as I opened the door,and met a set of surprised eyes,that made my heart ache...

Sierra's POV

We walked in the a7x's bus,but Brian was nowhere to be seen.Matt said something about him coming over any time soon,since he had gone out for a smoke.

Me and the guys sat on one of the couches,and I was the nearest person to the door.We immediately started talking about everything,when the door opened to reveal a very happy looking Brian,with a thing that looked like whore-frog by his side.

My eyes met his in surprise,and I saw some sense of hurt in them,the same hurt that Im 100% sure was evident in my eyes too.And just then,that skank grabbed his face and kissed him,and didn't even seem to stop to breathe.

''Brian is back on Synyster mode,I guess'' I heard Zacky whispering,and starting apologising to us all for being forced to witness this.

Brian then took a seat right across me,the blond whore still beside him,grabbing at his bicep so hard I definately thought it would leave bruises afterwards...but he didn't seem to care..he was playing it ''cool''.I,on the other hand,wasn't sure if I would be able to play it cool for much longer..

About an hour passed that way,and I had already downed 3 beers,and currently was sharing a bottle of whiskey with Zacky.Brian was still there,with his bimbo sucking his face every now and then.

''Don't worry about it,Sierra...Gates gets really bored occasionally...his wife is a huge pain in his ass...so he's constantly in search of a new plaything...this seems to be the lucky one for the night..''Zacky said,looking at me straight in the eye.''He's not one to fall in love,Sierra...Never has,never will...''

I felt sick at that moment,as I made the connection....:I was probably some kind of a plaything for him..something to pursue,just to stop being bored out of his mind...I was so stupid to actually think he even had...feelings for me..stupid girl is stupid.

I excused everyone and decided to step out of the bus..I needed some air..

''He's no angel either,sweetheart''his wife's voice echoed in my head..now I get it...

Brian's POV

It had already been an hour,and Sierra wouldn't break..not one bit.And honestly I was getting tired of that bitch by my side...she didn't even know how to kiss a man,and my bicep hurt like a bitch...when she proceeded to dug her nails in my skin,I slapped her hand away and stood up,literally throwing her out of the bus.Yess,I'm officially bipolar..thank you!
That was when I noticed that Sierra wasn't there,and started searching for her..So in my drunken state of mind,I startes searching for her outside..And I found her,right behind the bus..

Sierra's POV

I heard his voice,and I snapped.

''What do you want now?I'm sure your bitch is waiting for you...''I said in a tone I didn't even know I could produce with my voice.

''Oh...jealous much?''he said,smirking slightly..But his words didn't mean a thing to me..

''Run back in the bus,Syn !She's waiting...Your plaything for the night...Go to her,show her a good time...that's what Synyster Gates is all about,huh?Ladies' Man for as long as ladies-or not-exist on this f***ng planet..And I'm stupid,Syn...to even believe you had any sort of feelings for me...'' I started saying,tears escaping my eyes,due to the fact that I apparently was beyond drunk.

''Sierra,just please let me..'' he started,but again I interrupted him,not even realising that he was slowly getting closer to me.

''No,save it!Don't say anything! You don't have to ! Because, SYN , you seem to notice girls only with an average of 5 plastic surgeries over their body,because you find it hard to hold on to something that doesn't equal to immediate sexual intercourse.!You are NO angel,you are a SYN that won't stop giving.just like your name SYN!You are...''and I was stopped by something I never saw coming..

Brian's POV

She kept on talking,and it was obvious that she was extremely annoyed,and angry..But I didn't care about that..to me she was the most beautiful thing on earth,even in this state..I didn't even listen to the things she said,I only picked up the part where she kept calling me syn...And right there I did what felt right and so wrong at the same time..

I crushed my lips on hers,and right then,the time stopped..

Sierra's POV

He deepened the kiss,and I would be a shameless liar if I didn't admit that that felt really f**king good..We both moaned,and the kiss seemed to go on forever..like we didn't even need air..

We stopped for a while,and looked at each other's eyes,panting for air as he leaned forward next to my ear and whispered..

''For you,I'll always be Brian...''and he moved to kiss me again,and I accepted his fierce tongue in my mouth, only wanting more..

Brian's POV

It felt f**king amazing!I never felt like that with any other woman I had kissed,ever!Her mouth was like it was only made to be kissed by mine,her hands hesitandly touching my chest and my fingers lacing with hers,encouraging her to keep on touching me..it all felt RIGHT....my heart was pounding in my chest,and I only wished that we could stand right here..kissing and touching each other..But then,she did the unthinkable!She stopped,she looked me straight in the eye and started running towards the Devilish Green's bus.

I knew there wouldn't be any point in me going after her...she wouldn't even answer the door,let alone let me in..I went back in our bus,headed straight to my bunk and laid my self to sleep,only wondering if I just screwed everything up.

''But really,how can something so wrong feel so right?''

Notes

Yay they FINALLY kissed :D
