*Carry On*

***Brian's POV****

"What the hell is going on in here?"

I reluctantly pull my lips away from Kaylyn to find Zacky standing in the doorway. His eyes narrow as he looks between Jimmy and I and then back at the girls. Our eyes lock and I can't tell if he is mad or amused with the situation he just walked into. Well, I guess this is one way to let the cat out of the bag. At least I didn't need to explain myself.

"Go away Zee, can't you see we were trying to have an orgy," Jimmy chuckles as I notice how closely he and Tempest are standing. He must really like this girl to be so attached to her already. I don't think I've ever seen him fall this quickly for a girl. Now I know what the guys mean when they tell me it's nice to see me happy again because I see that in Jimmy.

"Riz, I'm glad to see your awake and back to making out with Gates behind our backs," Zacky chuckles and I can't help but smirk. So the bastard knew we were together all along? Why the hell didn't they say something? That sneaky devil. I feel Kaylyn sink down behind me and I put a protective arm around her, meeting Zacky's eyes. I shake my head at him with a smile before he turns his attention to Tempest.

"You must be Tempest," Zacky says, putting on his smooth talker voice. I chuckle as Jimmy visibly tenses. "Brian told our bandmate, Matt, that Riz's friend came to help her remember. I'm Zachary Baker but most people call me by my stage name, Zacky Vengeance." Zacky throws Tempest a smile which pushes Jimmy over the edge.

He gives Zacky a firm shove before growling,"Back off Baker...I already claimed her." I can't help but chuckle into Kaylyn's hair as Zacky puts his hands up and takes a step back. When Jimmy got protective he always looks like Scrappy-Do, bouncing around for a fight and I can't help but laugh as he does that with Tempest in his arms.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Tempest Roarke but you can call me Tempe," the blonde says after she manages to squeeze out of Jimmy's grasp.

Zacky smirks wickedly at Jimmy before kissing the top of her hands. My eyes grow wide as Jimmy lets out a low territorial growl. Whoa, someone means business. Looks like Baker overstepped his bounds.

I clear my throat and slowly pull away from Kaylyn. She gives me a small frown but I give her head a light kiss before I move to talk to my brothers. "So where's Matt and Johnny?" I ask, trying to change the subject.

"They're back on the bus," Zacky says with a shrug. "I couldn't wake the walking dead that we know as Christ and I left Matt working on a restraining order for Kaylyn with the lawyer."

I nod as I grab my cup off coffee, taking in a long sip of its bitter goodness. The caffeine hits me and I feel a little bit of life re-enter my body. I'm beat after playing a show and now being in a hospital worried sick for over twelve hours. I look up from my coffee to see Zacky looking at me with a small smirk on his face.
"I knew you two were faking it," he chuckles, shaking his head. Faking what? What the hell is he talking about. "You've been with her the whole damn time and all those stupid arguments were to throw us off, you bastard." Oh, those weren't and act, but you can think what you want buddy.

"Gatesypoo is in looovvee," Jimmy teases, making kissing noises at me. I give him a firm punch in the arm as I shake my head with a smile. "Okay, okay...but do we get to keep her? 'Cause I am keeping Tempty either way!" He warns as if we were arguing with him.

Zacky chuckles and shakes his head in disbelief. "I still don't understand how you two needed up with two beautiful women, but yes we can still employ Ms. Rizzo. We just need to set some ground rules."

I nod in understanding as my eyes wander back to Kaylyn. A smile pulls at my lips as I watch her whisper something to Tempest, causing her to shriek with delight. I raise my brow at them as Kaylyn covers Tempest's mouth and waves us away. Why is she so damn cute? I can't believe that she loves me...

"Okay, so well see if she wants to stay and then well call Matt. We've got to leave tonight if we are going to play our next show." I hear Zacky say as I tune back into the conversation between my two best friends.

"Alright, but if she wants to stay I'll take the fall from Matt," I say, earning a clap on the back from Zacky.
"Damn, girls got you whipped already," he chuckles as I flip him off and pull Kaylyn back into my embrace. I give her a light squeeze and can't help but get lost in her eyes. I could really get used to this!

"So the nurse says that they recommend you staying the night for observation but it's up to you," Zacky says to Kaylyn, pulling me away from my newest infatuation; her eyes.

Kaylyn's eyes lock with mine and suddenly I feel like we are the only ones in the room. "No. I want to leave. I don't want Alex to come looking for me and I would rather spend the night with you than in this cold and sterile room," she says with a chuckle and pinches my butt under the sheets. I smile and lean in to kiss her perfect lips. It felt so right every time I touch her and I hate having to pull away.

"Alright enough with the lip locking," Zacky states as he meets my eyes with a smirk. It's nice to know that my friends are willing to let me be happy again. I just hope that this feeling isn't fleeting.

"Awww Zee is jealous that you love someone else, Bri" Jimmy chuckles. I shake my head and punch him in the arm, hating the couple name the fans have given us. Yes we were best friends, but do we really need a pairing name? "That's it! I'm going to have to break the news to the fans... GIRL INTERFERES WITH SYNACKY BROMANCE!!" Jimmy continues, announcing like a newspaper boy calling out the headlines.

"We are not telling the press!" Both Kaylyn and I say in unison before looking at each other. Whoa, I guess we were really meant to be together. I smile down at her before gently poking her cute little nose. I would do anything to see her smile.

"That destroys any couple," I say, giving Jimmy a stern look. "And I don't know about you guys, but I don't want reporters up my butt all day."

"Yeah...that's Zacky's job," Jimmy snorts with laughter, earning a punch from both Zacky and I and a reproachful look from Tempest. Okay, I like her....we can keep her too.

"So we will keep it a secret and have no openly public displays of affection," Zacky states in a tone that I recognize as all business.

"So you mean none of this on the side of the stage," I chuckle, cupping Kaylyn's face and kissing her deeply. Jimmy and Tempest explode with catcalls as Zack rolls his eyes.

"Kaylyn?!"

I quickly pull my lips away from Kaylyn for the second time that day to see a professionally dressed woman with long dark hair standing in the door. She has a look of horror and disgust on her face as she looks between my brothers and I.

"Hi mom..." Kaylyn says sheepishly as he face explodes with color.

"Who are these obscenely clad gentlemen in your room, dear," Mrs. Rizzo asks with the fakest smile I have ever seen. Her jaw is locked and she looks like she is about to blow a gasket.

"You remember Tempest," Kaylyn says in a shaky tone as the woman nods. " And this is Jimmy, Zacky, and my-my boyfriend, Brian...they are all in the band I work for."

I carefully get up and extend my hand to Mrs. Rizzo. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Rizzo."

Notes

So what does Mrs. Rizzo think of Brian and his friends? Are we about to see some kind of showdown?
