*Carry On*

**Aubrey's POV**

I broke up with Damon when we ran out of the money that I squirreled away from Brian. Damon's stupid ass spent it all on coke and lap dances...fucking good for nothing bastard! I worked on that stash for years, all while gaining Brian's trust, and ironically, his love. That lovesick fool couldn't see what I was plainly doing right in front of his face. Well, if it worked once, maybe it will work again!

I don't believe that he's actually engaged to that mousy brunette from the beach...he could NEVER move on from me that quick. I bet he paid her to play along because honestly, who would actually want to marry Synyster Gates?! Sure, he's wildly attractive but he's also a shameless ladies man, and maybe that's why I never felt bad about using him. Fair is fair, he lusted after women and I lusted after his wallet.

I hop the first flight to Miami and worm my way into the meet and greet, looking for my meal ticket. Damn, Brian looks so incredible that I almost feel bad about using him...almost, but not quite. I glance around and notice that the skanky brunette is nowhere in sight..ha, I knew it was all a show! I hide in the sea of screaming fangirls, desperately trying to say out of Jimmy's line of sight. He texted me after I stood Brian up saying that he would make my life a living hell if I ever spoke to Brian again. Apparently he's not as scattered brained as I thought and caught on to what I was doing, but luckily for me, it was after the damage had already been done.

Jimmy is giving Brian a lap dance and talking about teaching someone to beat up Johnny, but I'm only half listening. "You lay a hand on my daughter, Gnome and I'll bury you back in the ground!" Brian laughs and my jaw drops. Daughter?!? Oh god, please tell me he didn't knock that slut up! This throws a wrench in my whole plan!!! I chew on my nails and try to come up with a way to swing things back in my favor. I notice Jimmy making kissy faces at a petite blonde with a camera and a lightbulb clicks on in my head...nothing breaks up a relationship faster than infidelity. I just need the old Synyster Gates I knew, to come out and play.

I wait until Brian walks over to the refreshment table before making my move. I rush towards him, making sure the blonde is watching, and firmly press my lips to his. I attempt to slip my tongue in his mouth but he refuses to kiss back. What the fuck is this shit, Syn?! Regardless, there is a huge flash of light, signaling that my plan is working perfectly, before Brian shoves me away.

"Fuck! Tempest wait!" Brian screams but blondie is already long gone.

I love it when a plan comes together!

**Tempest's POV**

I am in shock watching Brian and some random chick make out right in front of my face. 'Why isn't he pushing her away and how could he do that to Kaylyn?!' I scream internally before raising my camera and taking a picture of the lip locked pair. I need to tell Kay...

I run towards the bus and get to the backstage area before skidding to a halt. 'Am I overreacting? What if the stress of this causes Kay to lose another baby? Fuck! Maybe I need to talk to Brian first' I think to myself before turning the camera back on and staring at the last picture. 'Is he smiling?!' I rage and grip the camera so hard that I'm positive that it's going to break any minute now.

"Did someone break that?" Kaylyn asks from behind me and tears flood my eyes. Why do I have to be the one to tell her this? I turn to face her but I can't find the right words, "Tempe...you're scaring me. What happened?!" she begs and my heart breaks at her tone.This is going to crush her..

"I'm-I can't believe it.." I stammer out and glance down at the image on more time.

Suddenly Brian comes flying towards me, "Tempest wait! Please don't tell-" he begs but cuts off when he sees Kaylyn's confused and hurt expression. 'I can't take it, she needs to know' I convince myself before shoving the camera into her shaky hands. “Kay, I can explain….It’s not what you think!” he pleads but she slaps him hard before he gets the chance to say another word.

“Explain why you’re playing fucking tonsil hockey with you EX? YOUR FUCKING EX?!” Kaylyn rages and my blood begins boiling...that is his good for nothing, gold-digger, ex-girlfriend, that Jimmy told me about?!? “Why the hell is Aubrey here and why are her lips on yours!?” she questions and he tosses his hands up in defeat.

“The hell if I know, Kay! I’m minding my own business and grabbing a beer and I turn around and she’s fucking trying to kiss me!” he barks and I can't help but scoff.

“Well, that’s not what it looks like in this picture!” I state and give his a disappointed look.

He gently grips Kaylyn's hands and crouches down slightly so he can look into her eyes, “I swear, Kay, I didn’t even know she was here and the moment after she forced herself on me, I shoved her away. I would never cheat on you and our little girl…” he confesses but she tugs her hands away. “Please, Kay…I love you and would never cheat on you…”

Suddenly the bitch is behind me, “Oh Bri!” she says in a sing-song voice, which makes him visibly cringe. Damn this bitch is annoying! Oh Shit, I need to tell Jimmy she's here!!!

**Kaylyn's POV**

“I promise you on our daughters life I didn’t do anything with that fucking bitch. You know I cant even stand the sight of her.” Brian begs as the smug skank strolls towards us. Would he really swear on our daughter's life, and lie?? I glance down at the picture one more time and can now clearly see the shock and discomfort on his face. Fuck! He's telling the truth, now I need to prove to him that I do trust him.

"Bri-Bri, why wont you talk to me?” Aubrey whines as she steps up behind him and attempts to lay a hand on his shoulder. I quickly grab her wrist and twist her arm back at an uncomfortable angle, until she yelps out in pain.

"Don't fucking touch my boyfriend, you good for nothing slut!" I rage and shove her against the scaffolding. Brian's lips twitch up slightly at my confirmation of his, still current, status, as Aubrey rubs her sore arm and glares at me.

"I thought he was your fiancé?!" she mocks and rolls her eyes at me. "What? You couldn't get him to marry you for financial support, so you get yourself knocked up and claim that it's his?! Oh God, you're pathetic! Although, I wish I would have thought of that idea first" she laughs and I lose it.

I land blow after blow to her face and ribcage before Brian pulls me off of her. "I'M NOTLOOKING FOR HIM TO SUPPORT ME!! UNLIKE YOU, I DONT NEED TO USE A PERSON FOR THEIR WEALTH, SO I CAN HAVE A SUPERFICIAL IDEA OF HAPPINESS!! THIS BABY ISBRIAN'S AND I ALREADY KNOW THAT HE IS GOING TO BE A TERRIFIC FATHER BECAUSE HE'S AN INCREDIBLE PERSON! YOU WILL SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE REGRETTING TAKING HIS LOVE FOR GRANTED, BECAUSE IT IS HONESTLY THE MOST AMAZING LOVE IN THE WORLD! I WISH I COULD SAY I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU, BUT THAT WOULD BE A LIE...YOU DUG YOUR OWN GRAVE...NOW LAY IN IT!!"

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Will this be the last we see of Aubrey or will she refuse to quit her shameless attempts at gold-digging?

What will Jimmy's reaction be when Tempty tells him Aubrey is backstage?

Also, KWally promised me some Zacky smut...I hope she delivers ;)
