1. This was the last leg of rehearsal before we go out on tour with Avenged I was really exhausted but it was worth it Alex has been up our asses lately but he wanted everything to off without a hitch. I ran into Michelle at rehearsal she must be here to watch Dan she looked similar to another Avenged wife but I couldn't put my finger on the trigger just yet I had the most brilliant idea known to man well not exactly I had this gathering planned for a while we just all need a break from rehearsal and all of this tour prepping has everyone on edge and worn out I need to fix this situation and fix it fast.
   
   I had gotten back on stage for rehearsal to see Michelle sitting our in the crowd she looked stunning Dan looked over at me with hatred in his eyes but he turned his attention back to Michelle and smiled the biggest grin I have ever seen this was starting to make me sick but I can see that Dan and Michelle are happy so I can be happy for him too... Awe puppy love I thought to myself. Dan and I had to make a list of things we wanted at the party on Friday night. I was set to make this the best party ever or not whichever way it goes we all need a break the Avenged crew were going to be there most likely already drunk off their asses but that was okay I looked over to see Alex and Hollie hugging and kissing and that's what I wanted but I couldn't find the right girl just yet... Maybe One Day I thought to myself.
   
   "Travis get out of your daydreaming phase and focus!" Alex said snapping me out of my trance.
   
   "Alright just don't rush me!" I yelled back.
   If I gave you pretty enough words.
   Could you paint a picture of us that works.
   An emphasis on function rather than design.
   Aren't you tired cause I will carry you, on a broken back
   And blown out knees, I have been where you are for a while...
   
   Aren't you tired of being weak?
   Such rage that you could scream. All the stars right out of the sky
   And destroy the prettiest starry night. every evening that I die.
   
   I am exhumed just a little less human and a lot more bitter and cold. [x3]
   I am exhumed... just a little less human...
   A lot more bitter and cold... [repeating]
   
   After all these images of pain, have cut right through you,
   I will kiss every scar, and weep you are not alone...
   Then I'll show you that place in my chest where my heart still tries to beat, it sets us apart.
   
   Aren't you tired of being weak?
   Such rage that you could scream. All the stars right out of the sky
   And destroy the prettiest starry night. every evening that I die
   
   Live! love! Burn! Die! Alex screamed into the microphone.
   
   Since we only had an audience of one we wrapped up our set and retreated to the back and grabbed a couple of beers and sat down on the couch I looked over at Michelle and Dan laughing and cuddling I decided to insert myself in between the two lovebirds.
   
   "So I just wanted you to know that I'm having a party over to my place on Friday night." I said
   
   "Okay what time does it start ?" Dan asked
   
   "10:00." I said
   
   "Okay Michelle and I will be there." Dan said.
   
   I had made a list of the items I needed for the party on Friday night I know this wasn't going to be the easiest shopping trip but I'm bound to make it work I walked home in the raining California sky people always use the expression "It's always sunny in California." I'll tell you from experience that it's not always sunny in California it rains here as well. I walk inside of my empty bare apartment sitting my guitar down and sitting on the wooden floor writing down my items for the party this is what I have so far...
   
   Chips
2. Drinks
3. Games
4. Beer
5. Cookies

I jotted down a couple more items before putting the list inside of my back pocket and grabbing a beer from the fridge I wonder what Hollie and Alex are doing Friday night... I thought to myself.

Around 9:00 I started setting up for the party I smiled at the success of how everything was going I need another outlet to ouccupy myself with the doorbell would be ringing soon I expect nobody to show up but I have put so much work into this for nobody to show up either way I planned a ton of games and I have a lot of beer to go around.


The doorbell rang just in time I started to bore myself with my self loathing and moping around isnt going to cut it I ran to open the door to find a package laying on my front porch I scratched my head in confusion I carried the package inside and closed the door behind me and placed the mysterious package on the table I wasn't going to open it just yet so I stored it up in my closet and headed back downstairs I heard the doorbell ring once again I saw Matt and Val standing there dressed to impress.

"Guys this is just a casual party." I said opening the door.

"We wanted to make a first impression." Val smiled

"Well come on in." I gestured them inside.

Matt and Val sat down on my leather couch cozied up next to each other I wanted to interject and start a conversation but I had other guest ringing my doorbell
