Makeshift Chemistry
Summary
Young and alone, Nikki Torres manages to befriend the Roadies, Jason and Matt Berry. However, after being laid off and dumped, she shuts herself from the world, hiding behind walls even the Berrys can't seem to get her out of. Hoping to bring her out of her shell and that she'd catch a certain drummers eye, they introduce her to the boys of Avenged, offering her services and guitar expertise as a roadie. As she slowly opens up, Jimmy learns there's more inside her than just a breakup. But what Jason and Matt don't know is that should she accept her dream job, old problems and old significant others will appear. And as Nikki tries to hold her life together, she has to choose between the one who had her heart, and the one who healed and stole it, the Rev. But with a heart kind to a fault, will she let him back in or learn to remove that which is toxic? (warning: possible smut, depressing situations, cursing, drinking and drug use)
***yes I put a crown the empire song title and banner for an Avenged fic, but hey that song is the theme for this story. Hope you guys dont mind ^^***
