The Visions Left Inside Me Are Slowly Fading

**Ember’s POV**
It was the day before the guys left for tour, almost 3 weeks since Matt had announced to the guys about the possibility of the shows. Everyone had agreed that it was good timing, this way they could amp up the hype about their new upcoming album Nightmare. I watched as Brian packed his bag, and I sighed.

Damon was fast asleep in his basinet. I can’t believe that he’s already a month old. Brian looked up at me after packing a few pairs of jeans. “Babe,” he said softly, pulling me out of my head. “

“Hmm?” I asked shaking off the distant feeling.

“Babe, it’s only gonna be for a couple of weeks. I won’t be gone that long,” he sat next to me and stroked my hair.

“I don’t want you to go, I don’t want you to have to leave Damon and I. After all we’ve been through, I just…” I dropped my gaze to my hands fidgeting in my lap. Tears about to pop out of my eyes, fuck I hated hormones.

He pulled me close to him and kissed my forehead, “So come with me.”

I looked up into his eyes, knowing my tears shimmered in the light, “Really?”

He nodded, “You and the baby should both come with me. With us. I don’t want to leave you guys behind.”

I hugged him tightly, almost knocking him over, “Yes. Yes, I will come with you.”

He smiled and kissed my lips before helping me up, “Lets get you an little man packed before we go to Matt’s for our celebration.” I giggled and immediately got up to pack.

**Savannah’s POV**

I came home from work to find Austin hanging with Landon and Lyric in the apartment. Tennessee had a job in Los Angeles today and I got pulled into work last minute. Luckily Austin had stayed the night and offered to watch them for us. God I loved that man, I didn’t care it’d been less than two months, I loved him. I loved how sweet he is with the boys, how paternal he could be, without being disrespectful.

He truly cared about us, and Jimmy would love him. “Hey babe, how was your day?” He asked as he got up to greet me, pecking my lips.

“It was good,” I smiled as Landon bounded over to me and jumped onto my waist. I chuckled, “Hello there little man.”

He grinned and I helped him climb up so that he was sitting on my hip and hugging me tightly, “Hey mama. Can Austin go with us to Uncle Matt’s?”

I smiled and kissed his forehead before looking at Austin, “If he’d like to, then of course he can.”

Lyric tugged on Austin’s hand, “Please Austin? Come with us, Uncle Matt is really cool!”

“And Uncle Brian is funny,” Landon snickered.

I giggled at the boys enthusiasm and watched Austin’s face turn to one of anxiety, “Uh…well” he rubbed the back of his neck.

“There’s no pressure Austin, if you have other plans then you can meet them another day,” I smiled at him encouragingly.

“Yeah, sorry pals, I can’t tonight. Gotta go visit my mom,” Austin said smiling apologetically to the boys.

“Awww,” the boys chorused in disappointment.

“But maybe next time,” I supplied which made the boys smile.

“Okay!” they grinned as they scampered away.

“Go get ready, we leave in 20 minutes,” I called to them and they took off up to the loft which had inadvertently become their room. I turned back to Austin and leaned in, kissing him with a bit more passion than when I first got home. “You sure you can’t come tonight?” I asked as we laced our fingers together.

He smiled and nodded, “Sorry baby, gotta visit my mom, she’s not feeling too hot.”

“Aww, I’m sorry to hear that, will you tell her to feel better for me?” I asked him tilting my head.

He nodded, “Of course. I should probably get out of here so you can get ready. The boys were really well behaved, if you ever need me to watch them again, it’s no trouble.”

I smiled and nodded, “You’re really good with them, but yeah I do have to get ready.”

Austin smiled and brought the back of my hands up to his mouth and placed a kiss on both knuckles, “Well until next time, mi lady.”

I giggled, “Until next time good sir.” We pecked one last time before he walked out of the apartment. I sighed contently before getting the boys and myself ready to head to Matt’s.

**Ember’s POV**

I cradled Damon in my arms as the guys stood around the grill bullshitting. Simone had the twins in the pack and play in the shade as she reclined in the lawn chair next to the pool. “I don’t know why they always have to poke fun at who can cook the best steaks,” she rolled her eyes motioning towards the guys.

I chuckled, “They’ve always been like that, even when we were all kids.”

She shook her head, “Almost all of them are parents now, shouldn’t they have matured somewhat?”

“Have you met them?” I laughed loudly waking up Damon who started crying. “Awww, shh…” I started comforting my baby boy.

“Way to go Em, making the poor boy cry already,” Johnny joked only to get punched in the shoulder by Brian.

“Shut up man, leave my girl alone.” Brian joked back at Johnny before coming over to me and taking the little guy. Of course, Damon quieted, just like he always did for his daddy. “Aww, see he loves me.”

I rolled my eyes, “Well I do suppose he’s like you. Definitely likes tits.”

“Ooooooh, she got you there,” Matt egged him on.

“Oh shush,” Simone chastised my brother as she sat up, taking a drink of her beer.

Before Brian could make his comeback remark the back door flew open revealing Savannah, Lyric, and Landon. “Daddy!” Lyric smiled and greeted Zacky hurrying over to him.

“Hey little man,” Zacky picked him up giving the boy a hug.

“Uncle Zacky!” Landon mimicked Lyric’s tones and actions which of course led to Zacky picking Landon up in his other arm.

“Hey Jimmy Junior,” Zacky joked knowing that Landon preferred to be called by his own name.

“That’s not my name Uncle Zacky,” Landon huffed sticking out his chest.

“Yeah uncle Zacky, what the hell are you thinking,” Johnny smirked.

Zacky glared at Johnny before replying to Landon, “I know buddy, I’m sorry. What did you two do today?”

“We hung out with mommy’s new boyfriend,” Landon replied then squirmed to get down, which led to Zacky releasing both boys once their feet were on the ground.

“Mommy’s new boyfriend?” Matt asked curiously looking at Savannah.

Savannah blushed, “Uh, yeah…uh…surprise?” She said shyly.

I stood up and went over to hug Savannah, “I think it’s totally awesome you have a new boyfriend. Tell me the details?”

“Wait, wait, me too!” Simone said coming over and giving her a hug.

Savannah laughed and hugged both of us back, “Alright, inside?”

“Yeah that works,” Simone grinned. “Matthew watch your kids.”

Matt groaned, “But I’m supposed to be watching the steaks!”

“Matthew Charles,” Simone glared over at him. “You’re going on tour for two weeks, least you can do is spend time with the kids before you go.” Ouch. I thought to myself. I’ll have to find out what’s going on there… Savannah, Simone, and I made our way into the house and sat at the kitchen table.

“Sooo…what’s his name?” I asked grinning.

Savannah smiled widely, “Austin.”

“Ooooh, what’s he look like?” Simone asked grabbing Savannah a beer.

“Ironically,” Savannah moved her hair behind her ears, “He looks a lot like Jimmy.”

“What?” Simone and I both asked, our attention completely on Savannah as she explained Austin’s personality to us.

“He sounds amazing,” I complimented her new beau.

“Yeah, no joke,” Simone agreed, “And he gets along with Landon?”

“Landon absolutely adores Austin, they’re like two peas in a pod,” Savannah nodded.

I smiled at Savannah’s excitement over this guy, “Where is he tonight?”

“Taking care of his mom, she is really ill from what he’s told me, so she asked him to visit her tonight,” She explained which of course Simone and I said “Aww” at the same time. Savvy blushed giggling, “He’s honestly a really great guy all around.”

“Girls, let’s eat! Tennessee is almost here!” Brian stuck his head in the doorway. As we moved out of the kitchen and past him, I leaned up on my tip toes and kissed him gently. “Mmm….what was that for baby?”

“Just wanted to say I love you and you’re amazing,” I smiled up at him. He grinned and leaned back down kissing me again as he cupped my cheek.

**Scott’s POV**
I watched as that whore kissed Brian, the “god”. I seriously hate that guy. I hated the whole lot of them, then I noticed…there’s a baby cuddled in his arms. She fucking had his baby? I was the only one she’s allowed to have a child with. Our genes would be fucking perfect. How DARE that whore have someone else’s baby; especially a pig like him.

Then I saw Savannah, smiling and having a great time, and Landon playing around the pool with those assholes. I wasn’t supposed to be able to feel emotions towards them. That wasn’t part of the plan. My plan was simple, infiltrate, earn their trust, then the rest…well let’s just say it isn’t going to be a pretty ending for any of them.

I watched their BBQ for about another two hours, watched as Matt’s girl was a dick to him, which honestly made me laugh. Wonder what he did that pissed her off, probably cheated on her. Well, no, as much of a dick Matt has been, he’d never do that…well, atleast not since the whole cheating on his high school girl friend.

Every time Ember moved closer to Zacky or Brian I wanted to march down there and beat her ass…but then I remind myself to have patience. Patience will be worth it, when it comes time to kill them. It’ll be so sweet, I can almost taste it in anticipation. Especially when I have Ember and that bastard child in my grasp…no one to “save” them.
