Promise Of A Lifetime

Back In Covington, Georgia

The road trips were fantastic! Jimmy was as crazy as ever and the places we went to eat had some of the best food I have ever tasted! We stopped at numerous hotels and motels along the way but we mostly slept in the bus. Chicago was a really cool place. Disturbed played and the crowd went wild. Who wouldn't like Disturbed we will never know! The boys always went to the huge after parties after the shows and I was left in the bus to draw. Every morning I got up and fixed breakfast or we would just go out. I gave them their aspirin. I really enjoy hanging out with the guys but the last stop on this tour was Covington, Georgia and I was really hating having to go there. It was now 4 in the morning and I wasn't able to sleep. Matt had his arm around my waist sound asleep. I gently got out of the bunk, grabbed my drawing pad, and headed to the front of the bus. I sat down at the table and starting drawing random shit hopefully it would help me sleep but no sleep came to me.

The hours passed by like seconds until it was 10am. I heard the guys groaning and I sat out pills and water as they came into where I was. I bet I looked like shit especially with no sleep but how in the hell could I sleep when I knew we were going to the one place I didn't want to be in. My so called family lives in Covington and I hope they don't find out that I'm here. I know that my uncle would be all up the guys face along with everyone else. Brian sat down beside me and I just kept on drawing.

"Hey that looks really good." He said complementing me on my artwork. I said nothing and I know he was giving me a concerned look.

"Baby girl what's wrong? You can tell me anything." He said and again I said nothing. He wrapped his arms around me pulling me in close.

"Aerial I know. I know this is one place you don't want to be but don't worry. There will be extra security and nothing is going to happen I won't let it happen." I looked up and him and pushed him away from me. He fell down onto the floor and everyone looked at us.

"Nothing won't happen to me? Are you fucking serious? I know my goddamn family and they will do anything to get me back to their place and I won't let that happen to me again! You don't know shit!" I yelled standing up. I was shocked at what I had just said and I ran off the bus. I couldn't hear the guys piling out of the bus after me. I started to fall to my knees and started crying but Matt caught me before I could hit my knees on the pavement. I grabbed his shirt and cried. I had no idea why I broke down. I guess I was so scared that they would find me and all hell would break lose.

"Baby it's alright. Nothing is going to happen to you! I will make sure of that. We all will make sure of that." Matt said and all the guys agreed.

"I don't want no one taking my best friend away." Jimmy said rubbing my back. I looked up at Jimmy and he wiped my tears away. I had been crying so hard that I couldn't catch my breath.

"Aerial you need to calm down and breathe." Brian said rubbing my head. He looked into my eyes and I wasn't going to be able to calm down. I reached for my pocket and took 2 puffs off my inhaler and began taking shaky breaths. I calmed down. I walked back to the bus and my phone began to ring. I answered it.

"Hello?" I answered as I dried up my tears.

"It's me baby girl."

"Why are you calling me?" I asked angrily.

"I know you're here in Covington."

"How do you know that?" I questioned.

"You're also traveling with Avenged Sevenfold."

"How in the fuck do you know all this?" I said gritting my teeth.

"Let's just say I'll be at the concert tonight with backstage passes."

"I won't be there so don't even think about doing shit." I said in a hurry. How could he get passes!

"Oh the boys will find you don't you worry your pretty little head."

I just hung up on him and put my phone back into my pocket.

"Who was that?" Brian asked.

"My uncle he knows I'm here. He somehow got backstage passes. I can't be around him and if you leave me alone then my brothers will find me." I explained tears welling up in my eyes again.

"Don't cry sweetheart." Matt cooed as he rocked me in his arms. I buried my face into his chest and closed my eyes. Matt picked me up and carried me into the bus setting me down on the couch. I grabbed my drawing pad and began drawing again.

I need to relieve my stress because I quit smoking and I was beginning to wish that I hadn't. It was now 6 pm and the show would be starting at 7. I was backstage with the guys. Brian walked over to security. I didn't hear their conversation but I had to think they were putting extra security around because of my uncle and brothers. I was so grateful.

"Brian?" I said.

"What is it sweetheart?"

"Can I play 2 songs tonight? I need to play them just in case my uncle and who ever else come with him can hear what I have to say." I asked looking down.

"Of course you can! What 2 songs were you thinking?"

"I wrote 2 songs while you guys were sleeping earlier this morning. Their called Schizophrenic Conversations and Suffocate." I said.

"Yeah sure you going to play too?"

"Yeah. I love my songs. They sound really good." I explained.

"Can we hear them?"

"You will at the concert."

"Okay then you'll be playing when we introduce you. I'm sure the people here will love you." Brian said smiling.

"Yeah I hope. Vegas did." I smiled and went to take and a shower and get ready. It didn't take me but 30 minutes and we had plenty of time to go in. I was wearing all black even black fingerless biker gloves. The guys surrounded me as we walked into the building. We met up with 3 Days Grace, Five Finger Death Punch, and Disturbed along with each of their security and body guards.

"Hey Brian! Do you think this is enough people to protect the little munchkin?" David said.

"Yeah it should be and I have one more thing. Whenever we go on stage I need all you guys to stay with her before and after she performs tonight." Brian explained concerned about my safety.

"What's this all about anyways? What song is she performing?" Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch and Adam Gontier of 3 Days Grace asked differently.

"She was abused by every male member of her family and they keep calling her and harassing her saying they are coming to get her tonight and there ain't shit that we can do about it. I'm not letting them take my daughter." Brian explained.

"To answer your question Adam. I wrote 2 songs this morning and they're called Schizophrenic Conversations and Suffocate." I said smiling poking my head around Matt.

"Oh that's cool. I heard you last time in Vegas sing and it was so awesome. You really rocked out there!" He said excitedly.

"Thank you very much." I smiled and he came over and hugged me. I hugged back and inside I felt like a crazed fan-girl. Five Finger Death Punch was on stage 1st and then Disturbed, 3 Days Grace and then Avenged Sevenfold. I had practiced my songs earlier this morning while the guys were asleep.

They all were great and loved there songs they played. Man I was rocking backstage as Disturbed was singing some of their old and new songs. It was now time for my boys to go on stage. I smiled and gave everyone a kiss before they went on stage. They sung all my favorites.

"We have a special young lady who just happens to be Syn's adopted daughter who early this morning wrote 2 songs and she would love for all of you to hear it. Please welcome Aerial Raine!" Matt yelled into the mic and the crowd was roaring with excitement. I couldn't believe it. I walked out onto the stage and sat in a chair that was put for me. Brain handed me his guitar.

"I wrote these 2 songs last night because of what had happened in my early years of life. If the people who hurt me are listening just listen to the songs and you'll know what went through my mind. This song is called Schizophrenic Conversations." I started playing and singing the 1st verse.

Are you afraid, afraid of the truth in the mirror staring back at you
The image is cracked, but so it the view here and the strength of a tree begins in the roots.
That I tend to bury into to you
At least now the storm can't blow me away

So crawl inside my head with me.
I'll show you how it feels to be

To blame like me.

Should I be afraid of this face that I see
In the mirror staring back at me
So cold were the days when I listened to you.
And you say that I'm weak so show me the proof
Cause I still exist in spite of you
But I won't compete with you everyday,


So crawl inside my head with me,
I'll show you how it feels to be
To blame like me

Schizophrenic conversations that I'm always having with myself
I hear these voices in my head competing

Maybe I could use a little help I still have
Schizophrenic conversations when there's no one else around to hear
I long for solitude and peace within me
Void of all the anger and the fear.

So crawl inside my head with me

I'll show you how it feels to be
Fucked up like me.

I'll show you how it feels to be
To blame like me ashamed like me


The song ended and the crowd went wild. They loved my song.

"How did you like my song dad?" I asked looking at Brian and he came up to me and kissed my cheek.

"I loved it. Play on baby."

"You may be my dad but Shadows is my lover." I said winking at Matt and he came over and kissed my lips.

"Love you too sweetheart." Matt said.

"Hey what about me?" Jimmy pouted.

"Oh Rev you're my bubby.Still love you though." I said and he smiled.

"Don't worry Christ and Vengeance. You my sisters." I said trying not to laugh.

"That's right...Hey!" they said in unison and we all laughed.

"But in all seriousness. This is all fun and games but it's time to Suffocate." I said and began to play and sing again. I was hoping the crowd would get into it really good and of course they did.

I could take every fucking word he says
Throw it in his face but would he even care
I still remember when he looked at me that frown upon his face
Trying to be sincere

I gathered all those little things he said
Kept them close to me
Trying to make this real
This cloud will always hover over me
I'm leaving you today 'cause now I see


Suffocate, you suffocate
That you lie (I don't lie)
That your fake (I'm not Fake)
Suffocate, you suffocate
You always take (I don't take)
What you can (what I can)

I could take every fucking game you play
Blow it all away but would you even care
I could take all those lies you said to me
Never go away
Never disappear

This cloud will always hover over me
I'm leaving you today
'Cause now I see

Suffocate, you suffocate
That you lie (I don't lie)
That your fake (I'm not fake)
Suffocate, you suffocate
You always take (I don't take)
What you can (what I can)

Suffocate, you suffocate
That you lie (I don't lie)
That your fake (I'm not fake)
Suffocate, you suffocate
You always take (I don't take)
What you can (what I can)

Now I'm far away from you (You're always far away)
I'll never bring back yesterday (bring back yesterday)
You're such a fake it's true (you're such a fake)
I can't believe the words you say
I'm far away from you I'll never bring back yesterday

Suffocate, you suffocate
That you lie (I don't lie)
That your fake (I'm not fake)
Suffocate, you suffocate
You always take (I don't take)
What you can (what I can)
I always take
What I can


The song ended and the crowd went wild. I smiled and bowed to my fans. I loved how the fans were really getting into the music. It gave me chills. I looked out into the crowd and seen my uncle and brothers all standing there not clapping but with anger in their eyes.

"Thank you all for loving my songs and don't worry I'll be back next year with more great songs." I said and they cheered I gave Brian his guitar and hugged him tightly. Matt gave me a kiss and I walked off the stage. Everyone in the back were clapping for me. When the clapping stopped I hear a single solitary clap and I looked back and seen my uncle. I instantly turned into a raging torment.

"Yes you were good Aerial."

"Get him out of here!" I whispered to security. I told them that my brothers would be along and I needed to get out of here and quickly. Just as security escorted him away from me. Matt came backstage with the guys. I led them away and we went back to the bus followed by security. Luckily my brothers didn't follow my uncle but I knew they had something planned to get me back but I didn't know when they were planing on doing it. I hope never.

"Matt I'm going to be fine. There's lots of security outside and there's no way they will get to me." I said holding his shoulders.

"I don't want you to get hurt."

"I won't. If something does happen. I know where you guys will be so don't worry." I explained kissed him sweetly and passionately.

"I worry about you all the time baby. It's my job too."

"Just go and have a good time. I'll be alright." I said pushing him out the door of the bus to join everyone else. I closed the door behind him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~MATT'S POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She pushed me out the door and and we all walked away I couldn't help but look back at all the security around the bus to protect her. We got to the party and I didn't drink but the rest of the guys did. They were dancing and shit I wished I didn't have to leave Aerial like that. I should have just stayed. Brian came up and sat down beside me and order 2 shots of Jack.

"Drink man. Aerial has plenty of security so nothing will happen."

"I can't help but worry about her though Brian. She said they will get her no matter what." I said as the bartender put 2 shot glasses filled with Jack down in front of us. I downed it and I felt a whole lot better. I began drinking when I know I shouldn't.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~AERIAL'S POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sat on the couch thinking about Matt. Maybe I should have let him stay with me. He was so worried about me when he left. I can't beat myself up over it because I have plenty of security to handle if anything does happen. I got up and went to the back to take a nap and not 5 minutes later I closed my eyes, I heard a commotion outside the bus. I peaked out the window and seen my brothers knocking out and wounding the security. I stood far enough away from the door so when they came in I would be ready with the beating of their asses. The door flung open and my uncle came through the door and I balled up my fists. I think he seen that I had and he started laughing.

"You won't hit me."

"Don't think I won't asshole! I have people who love me now! I don't need you threatening to take me back home because I won't back down!" I said with rage and anger in my eyes and voice. He came closer to me and my brothers came in too. My uncle stood away and my brothers charged at me all at once. I let my fists fly until they caught me and held me. My uncle came strolling up to me and got right in my face. I spit right into his eyes and he punched me in the mouth.

"You're going to pay for that one." He said taking a knife out of his back pocket and I started moving trying to get away but I couldn't. He stabbed me in the shoulder and left the knife in. I screamed in pain. I looked right at him and smiled. The anger building into a psychotic rage. He punched me in the gut and blood poured out my mouth. I think I felt my ribs crack and it was getting hard for me to breathe.

"Boys, beat the fuck out of this bitch and leave her to die. She fights back...kill her." my uncle said leaving the bus and my brothers threw me to ground kicking and punching. I fought back and hit one of my brothers in the face and he stabbed me in the gut leaving his knife in my gut but the kept on kicking and punching my back, face, gut, and ribs. I rolled onto my side and watched them as they left the bus. The room was beginning to get blurry but I couldn't keep my eyes from closing. They slowly closed as I pulled out the knife and I screamed in pain and threw the knife away. I drifted into unconsciousness.
