*Carry On*

**Tempest's POV**

I walk into my apartment but I'm too overwhelmed to sleep. Today has been an emotional roller coaster full of plummeting lows and soaring highs. I don't have time to get a traditional wedding dress before the ceremony but let's face it...I don't need to wear white. I'm a virginal as a prostitute...there isn't a hole in my body that Jimmy hasn't attempted to fuck..not that I'm complaining.

Suddenly my phone starts screaming Jimmy's 'salty nut' song. Yeah, I get quite a few disgusted glares in public whenever he calls. I chuckle and grab my phone, "Please tell me that you didn't get busted" I chuckle into the phone and he scoffs at me.

"I'm a fucking ninja!!" he screams and I can picture him boxing and kicking imaginary adversaries in my mind. "I thought Zee was going to bust me for a minute but he was too wasted on the patron I force fed him through a straw, to hold his consciousness." He laughs and I cringe at the thought.

"I got the drunken picture of Brian humping Matt's leg and nearly pissed myself. Did he suspect anything?" I ask nervously because part of me doesn't like leave him unwatched while Kay is away.

Jimmy let's out a sigh and my stomach sinks...I don't think I'm going to like what he's about to tell me. "Brian was outside the bus smoking and talking to some chick when I left...I don't think he even noticed me, he was pretty hammered as you saw" he states and my mouth draws a hard line.

"He was with a chick?!? Fucking hell Jimmy, please tell me she wasn't blonde!" I cry as Aubrey's smug mug flashes into my mind. Would she really be stupid enough to come back after the beat down that Kaylyn laid on her??

Jimmy let's out a ragged breath, "She was brunette...but something seemed familiar about her even though I didn't see her face. Do you-" he chokes out before I interject.

"Turn around! We can still get married as soon as possible, but Jimmy, I have a really bad feeling about this" I say while pacing back and forth across my living room floor and praying that Brian has enough drunken will-power to resist any sexual offers thrown his way...especially from Aubrey!!

I hear Jimmy tell the cab driver to turn around and I breath a small sigh of relief. "I should be back at the bus in a few minutes and hopefully I find the guys all passed out, alone, in their bunks. I'll call you back once I make sure that everything is alright and that we freaked out for nothing" he attempts to reassure me but even the slight bit of doubt in his voice is making me sick.

I hope I'm just being paranoid.

**Aubrey's POV**

I had to get plastic surgery to fix the nose, that Brian's fat bitch, broke. Luckily, I've always hated my nose so I finally had a reason to change it. I've been sneaking into Avenged shows for the last few dates but nearly got caught by Brian in Pittsburgh, so I decided it was time for a makeover.

I dyed my hair the same mousy brown shade that his new fling has, because maybe that's what he's into now...shitty hair colors. I slip into a pair on black leather skinnies and a low cut, purple, v-neck tshirt that shows off my cleavage. Ha, Brian loves purple. Ironically, that's about all that we have in common.

I flip my hair over my shoulder and start swaying my way towards the tour bus. I see Brian leaning against it with his eyes half closed and a Marlboro hanging from his lips...mhm, I'll admit it..he looks fucking sexy as hell. His glazed eyes look up at me, "Kaylyn?" he slurs and I can tell that he's beyond drunk if he think that I'm that skank. Hm, maybe this will work in my favor! I just hope that bitch isn't lurking around somewhere, waiting to kick my ass again. "I-I thought you *hiccup* were in New York planning Barbara's funeral?" he grumbles out as his eyes slip closed again.

Ha! That fucking cunt isn't even here! Now, if I can just stay clear of Jimmy.. speak of the devil...my eye catches sight of the other person I'm trying to avoid and I quickly flip my head around so he can't see my face while lightly running my fingers over Brian's tattooed arms. "Shh baby, I'm here because you need me...you still need me don't you?" I whisper as Jimmy slips into a taxi. "Come on baby, let's get a hotel room and have the night to ourselves" I coax and gently pull his half awake body towards my rental car.

I chuckle as I see Jimmy's taxi pull back up just seconds after I shove Brian into the passenger's seat of my car. "I need coffee if you want me to stay awake, Kay" Brian slurs from next to me, with his eyes screwed shut and his head leaning against the cool glass of the window.

I grab my half empty and cold cup of shitty gas station coffee out of the center console and glance over to make sure Brian is still partial unconscious. I pop the lid off and place a few drops of Rohypnol in the cup and swirl it around before replacing the lid and shoving the cup into his hands. "Bottoms up" I smirk as I watch him take four large gulps before pulling the cup away with a disgusted look across his lips.

He stares down at the coffee and knits his eyebrows together in confusion. "When did you start drinking cold coffee with shitty vanilla creamer in it. I-I um..." he mumbles and shakes his head in an attempt to wake up, "I thought you liked your coffee bla-" he says weakly as the drugs take their full effect.

I smirk proudly and put the car in drive as I see Jimmy reemerge from the bus with a panicked look on his face.
I've come this far..I refuse to get caught now.

What does Aubrey have planned for Brian?

How will Jimmy explain to Tempest that Brian is missing?

Will Brian come to his senses before it's too late?

Will Kaylyn find out that Brian is with Aubrey?

I apologize if this chapter kind of sucks. I have a killer headache and a bad case of writer's block. None the less, enjoy. :)
