*Carry On*

***Zacky's POV***

After sitting down at the table with my drink, I turn to see Brian and Kaylyn openly arguing at the bar. What the fuck did Gates do now? I think to myself, letting out a sigh as I make my way towards them. I don't understand what's going on between them but every three seconds they seem to be fighting like an old married couple...and we are not even on tour yet.

"Um...is everything okay?" I ask, walking up after Kaylyn has stabbed Brian about forty times in the chest with her finger. I look between them with a raised brow before Kaylyn turns and quickly heads toward the ladies room. Fuck...the PR and the client are making a scene. I pinch the bridge of my nose as I pull Brian outside away from the prying eyes. It takes every ounce of my being not to let my temper out.

As soon as we are outside, I swat him in the back of the head. "What the hell was that?" I hiss, narrowing my eyes as he picks up his fedora off the ground. "Is Synyster Gates rearing his ugly head already?"
Brian groans as he run his hand down over his face. "She's just so damn...ugh!" He complains as he starts to pace. Well that's never a good sign...When Brian paces it usually means he's trying not to explode or let his temper out.

"I don't give a fuck what she did," I scoff as I put a cigarette between my lips. "Just listen to what she tells you and keep your hands to yourself! We can't have these public outbursts between you two."

"Yes, dad..." Brian mumbles, pulling out his own pack. "But god I wish she would stop looking at you guys!" He mutters under his breath. "It would make things easier..."

"What do you mean 'looking at you guys'?" I ask with a raised brow. "Is somebody a little jealous?" Or possessive maybe? Oh fuck no...they better not be starting something!

"I'm not fucking jealous," he spits, refusing to look at me as he takes in a slow drag. "And this is all your fault anyway, ass wipe!"

I scoff and look at his distant eyes. Something different is going on with him but I can't put my finger on it..."My fault? What's my fault?" I laugh.

"It's your fault you hired such a smoking hot babe to look over me and make me....ugh..just never mind." Brian pinches the bridge of his nose as he flicks his ash away. "Just forget I said anything, Zee. I won't make a scene again."

I play with my snake bites with my tongue as I blow out a cloud of smoke. He fucking likes her...I think as I shake my head, though I know this will be far from the last public scene. "Look Haner...it's okay if you like her but--"

"I said drop it," Brian snaps, cutting me off. "I don't like anyone...not even your punk ass," he says as he gives my shoulder a playful shove before going back inside.

"Just don't ruin it..." I sigh, putting out my own cigarette.

****Jimmy's POV****

I bite my lip and play with my lebret as I watch shit go down between Brian and Kaylyn. Damn I wish my best friend wasn't such a hot head and a jealous bastard sometimes. Though I have to admit, this whole misunderstanding is my fault. I should know better than to play with Brian's toys but damn...she was just so shiny!

As Kaylyn pushes past me to the bathroom, I can't help but follow her. Because a spoon full of Jimmy makes the whole world go round! I count to 100 before I go in, knowing that she probably want to be left alone. 65...66...67...68...69....man that sounds fun! Oh fuck it!

"Little pig, little pig, please let me in!" I sing at the door before barging into the women's bathroom.

"Jimmy what the hell!?" Kaylyn rages and turns away from me to grab a paper towel, but not before I see the dark makeup circles under her eye. "This is the ladies room!"

"So," I shrug, stepping up next to her and taking the paper towel out of her hand. "I've got long hair and wear makeup...what's the difference between you and me..." I chuckle, hoping she would fall into my trap. Say 'dick', please for the love of god!

"You know what...I'm not even going to go there," she says with a smile playing at her lips as I wipe away her smeared makeup. "So I take it that was Synyster Gates I was just talking to?" She scoffs.

I throw my head back and laugh as Kaylyn pulls away from me to apply new makeup. "Ehhh....not really," I chuckle. "I mean yes, Syn is a bear like that but he's usually drunk or high...or both. He likes to mess around with ladies..." Kaylyn turns to look at me with a fallen expression. "It's nothing personal, Riz. I can tell he likes you just by that jealous fit he had. Syn is not the Brian you know...it's his stage character...and sometimes we have to be those people when we're on tour. It doesn't mean he doesn't care about you...he's just doing his job."

"Well it sounds like it sucks," Kaylyn hisses, a small frown on her face. "Why can't he just be himself?" She asks as I sit on the porcelain sink.

"Would you buy a record or want to jiz in your pants by some guitar player named Brian Haner Jr.," I laugh. "Sounds like a big lamo pile of shit if you ask me!"

Kaylyn chuckles as she puts her makeup away. "I guess your right..." She sighs. "I just don't want him to forget about me."

I jump down off the sink and put a hand on each of her arms, looking her straight in the eye. Damn I'm jealous that she chose Brian over me. "He won't...you're the one he will come home to the bus to and the one he'll wake up with. I promise," I say and then kiss the top of her head. The truth is I can't really be too sure of anything in tour because it tends to bring out the worst in people...but I'm not going to tell Kaylyn that.

"Although," I continue as a new thought pops in my head. "You two will have to cool your jets around the guys. They can't know about your 'relationship' because Matt and Zacky will blow a gasket."

"Yeah," Kaylyn sighs again as we head out of the bathroom and back to the table. "I've thought about that..."

As we get back to the table, I smile lightly as Brian jumps up to pull out the chair for Kaylyn next to him. He has an apologetic look on his face and I hope Kaylyn can see that.

This is going to be an interesting night....

Notes

Alright so Jimmy and Zacky aren't as daft as Kaylyn and Brian think they are. They totally know what's up.

Will Kaylyn forgive Brian? What did she think of Jimmy's Synyster Gates speech?

Will we see Syn pop out when the group heads to Johnny's Bar?
