I don't belong here.

Nora's P.O.V

The boys left, including Matt. They left to go and finish in there game and get ready for later as they were going out for dinner and kindly invited me along..well Matt did. it was nice and i was really excited. They were picking me up at eight ...so that gave me 2 hrs to get ready. Only 2hrs was not long enough to try and impress your idols!! But it would have to do. I walked over to the island counter and collected the glasses the boys had drank from and placed them in the dishwasher before i felt a buzz in my back pocket. It was my phone and a text alert had appeared...

(Hey girlie...cant wait to see you ..am so excited bebe , tomorrow ill be down early if thats ok...ill remember to bring the drum kit so we can jam like in the good old days haha..:P so excited to see your new pad...remember to keep your chin up and don't let fuck face bring you down...when i arrive prepare to have your drinking corset on , we gonna shred it up haha

It was a text from Alex, my best friend. She was the closest thing i had to sister as i was an only child. We grew up together and even lived with me and dad during senior year as she fell out with her parents. We were always described as salt and pepper, sugar and spice etc...but even though she is feisty, i had fire in me too so we got on like a house on fire. However her fire sometimes burned more , especially when she drank so she was never afraid to speak her mind. That was good but sometimes landed us , never just her, in hot water. This happened one night when we were out at the clubs when we were removed from the club due to Alex kicking the shit out of some blonde bimbo after the barbie doll threw a fit at me when her boyfriend fancied a bit of me on the dance floor. Haha... we did get into trouble at times, it seemed Alex brought the mischievous side out of me i guess!!! On my 21st we got matching tattoos of pentagrams, mine was on the back of my neck where as Alex had hers done on her right wrist. We both loved the idea of witchcraft whilst growing up so it fitted perfectly. She was what kept me going through the hard times, especially the shit times with Adam. She never liked him from the beginning and always reminded me of the hunch she had...i always ignored it as i loved him..well thought i did..but guess she was right from the start. But i love her and couldn't wait for her to come to Orange County, she was visiting for a couple of weeks to help me settle down, and wait till i tell her about who my new neighbors were and who i was going to dinner with...she would never believe me in a million years!! She was as big of Avenged fan as i was...

I text Alex back and headed upstairs to get ready, as i had been traveling mainly all day i decide to hop in to the shower in my en suite bathroom in my bedroom. My room was huge and the bathroom was even bigger. I spent 45 mins in the shower as it was a power jet shower head , it was great and time just disappeared. I got out and wrapped in towels i headed to my closet...it was fucking huge...i was in heaven. I pulled out my favorite skinny black jeans and a black and red striped corset, i placed them on my bed. I had a obsession with corsets, it all started when i dressed as a vampire a couple of Halloween's ago and i bought my first corset to tie my costume together. Since then i fell in love with them. I put on a black lacy strapless bar and panties to match. i slipped the corset and jeans on. I went to the bottom of my wardrobe and pulled out my black and red heels i wore for special occasions, and this dinner was one of them. I was now dressed head to toe but my hair and makeup was none existent. I curled my hair with big loose seductive curls, if nothing happened with Matt, there was still other lads in the restaurant. My makeup was dark, red lips and smokey eye shadow and long lashes. I looked up at the mirror and i wasn't gonna lie...i looked fucking hot and i was ready to strut my stuff. To complete the look i put on my black leather jacket and some black chandelier earrings.

I looked at my phone and it 7.45, the lads would be here soon. I made my way down the stairs not realizing how much of a struggle it would be in my chosen footwear, i could run and dance all night in these beauties, but it was obvious stairs appeared to be a challenge. As i was successful in not breaking my neck down the stairs, is walked to the kitchen and poured myself a glass of red wine to calm the nerves...i was actually coming to terms with the fact that i was going to dinner with Avenged Sevenfold, all nerves caught up at once..i needed a sip of an alcoholic beverage to calm my nerves...and it was working.

I heard a faint knock at the door, i opened it to see a well presented Matt, black shirt tightened to his muscles, and his dimpled smile was just as perfect. I saw his eyes trail up and down my body, it made me feel weak at the knees, and it had nothing to do with the shoes!!

"Wow...umm you look beautiful Nora.." Matt gazed at me and lost his balance against the wall he was leaning on...it was cute to witness.

"Thanks Matt, you don't look to bad yourself" i chuckled, he smiled. There was a silence between us both as we tried to hide the fact that both of us was admiring the other.

There was a loud honk, by the sound of it it was jimmy in the driver's seat getting impatient. Matt helped me out of the door and escorted me to car. It was sweet. He was sweet. I got in the back with Johnny, he smiled and leaned in to my ear, "you two looked cute, he's got something for you that one" he whispered. I blushed and guessing by the chuckle Johnny was making he had caught me in mid-blush. This night was going to be eventful one way or another and wasn't going to be on i would be able to forget...

We arrived at the restaurant. As we walked in Matt placed his hand around my waist to guide me to our a table. We were in the corner, secluded from anyone else. At the table sat Zacky and Syn, the other bands members i talked about earlier and haven't actually been introduced to yet. Jimmy, Johnny and Matt greeted the lads as they got formt heir seats. It felt awkward as i stood there watching this feeling like an outsider. Then after Syn greeted Jimmy, his eyes locked on to mine. He had a sparkle in his eyes that would make any girl lose control. He walked over to me and smiled. " Nice to meet you, but you must be with some other people because your way to beautiful to be here with us tramps" he winked and laughed, making me laugh to. " Can i get an introduction with this beauty then or what?" said a voice behind me. I turned to see somehow Zacky had got from the table to behind me without me noticing. What was he a fucking ninja?!?!

"Im Zacky...you can call me Zacky, Zacky V or vengeance...pretty much anything but not short shit....thats Johnny's name!" he chuckled, whilst Johnny shot a glare at Zacky. I smiled and realsied that these lads was as normal as the next lad, without there stage names and fame, they were a fine bunch of lads, lads who i felt very comfortable around.

It had been a couple of hours had gone by since we arrived, we had our food and the banter was great. I no longer felt like the outsider, i felt like i was wanna of the lads and i had known them all my life. I learnt about their tour antics and love interests. Normal banter i guess. Alcohol was flowing, and the effect was kicking in. There was no way of getting out of drinking as Syn was on a mission to get everyone drunk, and it appeared i was his main target. He would go to the bar and come back with trays of JD shots, before we had finished the first set.

"Take the shot little red!!" Shouted Syn as he shoved the JD in my hand and motioned me to neck it back. I did so as i had the impression he wouldn't leave me alone till i did so. Typical man. before i let Syn buy anymore shots, i suggested a change in our location. " Hey guys...know any bars or clubs we could hit as it appears Gates here wants to party!" I announced a little bit to loud as a waiter gave me a look. oops.

" There is a bar down the road from here" Jimmy said, raising a shot to the ceiling before necking it back. I guess we were moving sooner rather than later as all the lads stood up and Syn pulled me from the booth by my arm, making me lose my balance in the death traps i called footwear. luckily Syn was there as he caught me and smirked whilst doing so. I Didn't know what the face was for till i realized somehow he had managed to grab my ass in the midst of it all. Once again...typical Man.

In his grasp, i looked over Syn's shoulder to see Matt look upset. What had happened? Did he really have feelings for me like Johnny said ? And already?

I stood back up with the assistance of the entire band, including Matt. He seemed a little bit happier now. Maybe it was that Syn was no longer groping my ass. But to be honest i didnt care at that moment, we were heading to a bar and i was ready to get fucked up. As we reached the bar, i saw Syn and Jimmy run to the bar like children in a sweet shop. Zacky and Johnny found us a booth near the dancefloor, whilst me and Matt followed. Suddenely i felt a tight grasp on my hand, i looked down to see matt was holding my hand. He looked at me and guided me to the dancefloor....after that evrything else was just ablur....
