*Carry On*

**Kaylyn's POV**

"I'm fine, just needed a little break. But I'm still looking for a good lay!" Brian shouts from the other side of the door, and I can't help but regret my actions from before. It wasn't fair to Brian, and I'm sorry but it's not going to fair to Jimmy either.

The guys are all joking around in the hallway about bring girls back to Brian's suite, and my heart breaks because I wish I was the only one heading back there at the end of the night.

I pick up my dress from the floor and slip it on. It's a sleeveless black lace dress that is way sexier than it looked on the hanger. Fuck, now Brian really is going to think I was planning on seducing Jimmy..well, I was, but not in this.

I toss on my favorite cropped black leather jacket with studded accents across the shoulders, and check my reflection...well, at least I'm slightly less exposed now.

I grab my clutch purse, slip into my black bootie heels and pull the door open just as Jimmy shouts, "VIVA LAS VEGAS BABY!"

My eyes immediately find Brian and I watch as his jaw drops slightly...hmm, well at least he's impressed. Jimmy tosses his arm over my shoulder and I see Brian's jaw tighten back up in anger or jealousy...well that didn't last long.

I step out of Jimmy's embrace and look up to face them all. Their eyes are all darkened with lust, causing me to swallow harshly. Damn, I wish I picked a different dress!

Zacky steps forward and gently pecks my cheek, causing me to involuntarily shutter at the sensation of his cool metal snakebites against my flesh. "It's nice to see you again Ms. Rizzo, and I'm sorry about the way I acted the last time we saw each other" he say then takes a step closer to me, "..I hope you will forgive me" he whispers in a tone that sends a shiver down my spine.

Matt picks me up and gives me a big teddy bear hug before introducing me to the short guy standing next to him, "Kaylyn, this is our Bassist, Johnny Christ. Johnny this is our PR, Kaylyn Rizzo" he says and I stick my hand out to Mr. Christ.

Johnny leans down and kisses across my knuckles, before saying, "It's truly a pleasure to meet you"

Brian rolls his eyes before clearing his throat, "Come on guys, let's start the party...I'm sure Ms. Rizzo will let you ALL get better acquainted with her throughout the night" he snips out bitterly and I can't help but let out a sigh of defeat...he thinks I'm a slut.

We walk towards the elevators and press the down button. I reach for Brian's hand but he quickly folds his hands together in front of him. The elevator arrives and their isn't enough room for us all to fit.

"I'll wait for the next one. Brian, want to wait with me?" I ask in hopes of clearing the growing tension between us. He doesn't verbally reply, instead he steps into the elevator and gives me a stern look.

"I'll wait with you" Jimmy offers, and Brian raises an eyebrow at us before shaking his head and hitting the button to close the door. Jimmy turns me to face him and I can't help but let tears form in my eyes. "Hey Riz, what's wrong?" he asks sincerely.

I look up into his concerned, crystal blue eyes, "I fucked up. I should have never agreed to contemplate your very tempting offer from before because now Brian hates me!" I sob and he pulls me into his arms.

"Shhh, it's ok. The fact that Brian is jealous is reason enough for me to back off, because it proves that he is starting to open up again...even though, I would have loved to rock your world" he teases and I sniffle back the tears.

The second elevator arrives and we step inside. I try and fix my smeared makeup as best as I can before turning to face Jimmy again. "Will you help me convince Brian to trust me? I-I really think I might lo-" I stammer out before the elevator door dings open and Jimmy guides me towards where the rest of the guys are waiting.

He gives me a reassuring nod before running over and picking up Johnny. "I caught me a leprechaun!" he shouts loudly and receives a few dirty looks from the patrons in the lobby but almost everyone else cracks up laughing.

We head to a bar/restaurant for dinner and drinks, and needless to say, Brian has been ignoring me all night. I excuse myself to the bathroom, and when I return I see some slutty blonde bimbo hanging on Brian at the bar.

I take a sharp intake of air before weaving my way towards the pair. "Hi there, my name is April...what's yours handsome?" she giggles and traces her skanky fingers down his arm.

Brian smiles over at her and opens his mouth to respond, just as I walk up beside them. "Oh my god....AUBREY!" I shout loudly and pull the stupid girl in for a hug.

Brian's jaw drops in shock and the girl shoves me away from her, "My name is April...do I know you?!" she whines and I give Brian one last look.

"My bad....you remind me of someone I met once" I state while quickly turning on my heels, leaving a very surprised Brian behind me.

Notes

What does Brian think of how his friends are acting around Kaylyn now?

Will he let Kaylyn explain and possibly open up to her?

What does he think of her intentional Aubrey mix up with the blonde slut at the bar?

Did anyone catch that Kaylyn almost said she loved Brian twice now?? (In chapter 22 and again now ;D )
