After All That We've Been Through

Zacky's POV
You've got to be kidding me! I can't believe we are sharing our bus with Fatal Facade. Well, I guess I don't so much mind most of them. Just fucking Caleb Parker, who used to be one of my so called 'best friends'. I sighed, leaning back on the couch with my arms crossed. I narrowed my eyes, watching him across the room with Gunnar and Marley.

"This sucks." I pulled my pack of Marlboros out of my pocket as the three of them laughed. "This is supposed to be our time to relax before a show, not entertain the newbies."

"Chill out, Baker," Matt said with a small smile. "I'm not exactly excited for them to be on our bus either, but we need to stick together. It wasn't that long ago that we were on our first heading ing tour."

I rolled my eyes and took a puff of my cigaret. "Don't get all sentimental on me, Shadows. You know damn well that we need to keep an eye on them. You remember what happened with--"

"Why the long faces?" Jimmy asked before jumping on top of Matt and I on the couch.

"What the fuck, Jimmy?" I hisses, brushing my cigaret ashes off of me at fell during his landing. I rolled my eyes as he wrapped his arms around me and battered his eyes at me. What was he playing at?

"Come on, Zacky, get that stick out of your ass. Now we have more people to party with and not to mention your little blonde friend here..." Jimmy wagged his eyebrows at me as Matt chuckled. Did no one fucking understand or remember the snake that was sitting in the room?

"I don't want to party with him," I hissed as Caleb and his friends roared with laughter again. "That piece of shit almost ruined our careers and...ugh just fucking drop it!"

"Why are you so mood? Cheer up, buddy!"

"Just leave me alone."

I squeezed my way out of Jimmy's embrace and headed towards the master suite. I didn't want to talk or even think about fucking Caleb. I needed a distraction and I hoped that my old friend Ryn would be able to help me.

I had met Ryn on our last tour and damn was she fun to be around. She was representing one of our opening bands and was busy working back stage. From the moment that our eyes met, I knew that I had to have her. We kicked it off and I had the best lay of my life. However, after our second night together she disappeared with the opening band. That damn girl had been stuck in my head since that night and her random text here and there were not cutting it. We were finally on the same bus again and I was not going to let her get away so easily.

"You alright?" Brian asked as I walked by his bunk.

I stopped and looked at him, noticing a defeated look on his face. I knew that look. That was his 'I've been turned down' look. I chuckled lightly and took a seat. Did Ryn break his heart too?

"I should be asking you the same question," I said, motioning to his battered face. Someone really did a number on him last night. Of course it wasn't the first time but we usually stood up for each other in those situations.

Brian shrugged and then turned to look out the window. Oh I new that he was pissed at being turned down. That was my girl and it made me want Ryn even more.

"She turned you down huh?" I asked, giving him a knowing smile. Though I knew that Ryn wouldn't turn me down too. He shrugged again and I couldn't help but chuckle. "Not everyone falls for your lead guitar charm," I teased elbowing him in the ribs. "Besides, she's taken."

"Since when?" Brian raised his brow at me. "It's that douche bag Marley, isn't it?"

"What are you talking about?" My blood started to boil again. God damn it these new guys were not going to take what I had claimed already! Ryn was mine....at least in bed.

"Who are you talking about?" Brian turned to look at me and I had a feeling we weren't talking about Ryn anymore.

"Ryn..." I said slowly, causing Brian to chuckle. "What about you?"

"I didn't say anything about anyone," he laughed, leaning back against the window again. "You were the one doing all the talking."

"Come on, Haner, fess up!" There was no way I was going to let him off the hook that easy. "Is it Miss Violet Rouge?"

Brain laughed and shook his head. "Are you kidding me?" He ran his fingers through his hair and then picked up his phone. "Now go on and get what you came back here for because I can tell it wasn't to talk to me," he chuckled.

"You're damn right it wasn't." It was my turn to run my fingers through my hair. "Why am I sitting here talking to your ugly ass."

"Hey now." Brian put his hands up and pretended to look hurt.

"Here goes nothing." I sighed as I stood and made my way down the hall. I stopped in the doorway and listened as her melodic voice filled the room.

"Now I think if we change your image a little bit with clothes and then do a new photo shoot that we will get the results that we're looking for," Ryn said. I could see her holding up some tops in front of the lead singer of Fatal Facade. "You are going to look so hot! Glad I got you guys the cover of Revolver!"

"You what?!" I gasped, not able to contain my shock. They were a new band and they never got on the cover this soon.

Ryn and the redhead looked over at me with shocked looks on their faces. I watched as Ryns expression changed from one of shock, to one of happiness, than back to the ice queen that had left me on tour last year without a word. Ouch.

"Yes you heard right, Mr. Vengeance. I got Fatal Facade the cover of Revolver." She smiled at me in a cocky way before flipping her hair over her shoulder at me. "Now Kady, what color would you prefer? Blue, purple, or teal?"

Wait a minute? What the hell was going on?

"You can't just call me up and beg me for help and then not talk to me. That is cruel and unusual punishment, even from you," I said with a small smile as I touched her shoulders. "Come on take a break for a minute. I'm sure...Kady was it? Wouldn't mind."

I gave her shoulders a light squeeze and she relaxed lightly with my touch. However, seconds later she stiffened again and then turned to face me.

"Oh, you're still here?" She flashed me a small pissed off smile. "Well Mr. Vengeance, I am working right now, and your little 'break' is not in my schedule. Excuse us."

"Oh burn," Kady laughed before turning to look at me too. "All you Avenged boys are the same."

"You can say that again," Ryn laughed before taking a step toward me and pecking the corner of my lips. I felt my muscles tighten as she gently touched my chest with her breast. Fucking tease. "Goodbye."

Before I knew what had happened, I was standing outside the master suite with the door shut in my face. What the hell?

"Looks like you didn't get what you came for either." I heard a voice chuckle. I slowly turned around, expecting to see Brian but instead was face to face with Marley Steal.
