It was now the first day of tour. Both Papa Roach's bus and Avenged Sevenfold's were sitting in front of Jimmy and Lacey's house. I had all of my things packed the night before minus the few toiletry basics that I would need this morning. I changed and put on some eyeliner and mascara before grabbing my things and heading down stairs where everyone else was waiting. I smiled as I saw that Lace was nowhere to be found, meaning that she was still getting ready.

I made sure that I had all of my makeup and brushes in their proper cases. The guys were more than happy to higher me as their makeup artist for the tour. I was so excited, because I knew that having them as my first clients would put me into a good start for my own business once the tour was over. Johnny, Matt, Jacoby, and Tony were outside making sure everything was in order and tip top shape with the buses along with the Berry twins and Jonesy, P. Roach's bus driver. Brian, Jimmy, Tobin, and Jerry were also outside having a smoke while "supervising" the others.
This left me with Zacky who was just in the other room. Brian and I had been dating for almost three weeks and that also meant that it had been just as long since I had talked with Zacky about his feelings for me. I walked into the living room where Zack was and he looked up and smiled at me. I smiled back and he patted the spot next to him on the couch. I sat my things by the entry way and went to go sit beside him.

"So you ready to go on tour with us 'Reena?" Zacky asked me.

"Hell yes. I'm so grateful that you guys are letting me start out my makeup artist career by doing your makeup. I'm also fucking excited to be on tour with two bands that I've loved since high school," I answered him with a giant grin plastered on my face.

"You're most welcome Coree. I would imagine that it's pretty exciting to be with us on tour. I'm also very happy that you'll be with us," Zacky spoke with a small, somewhat timid smile gracing his plump lips.

"Me too Zack. We've grown to be such good friends in such a short ass amount of time. And I'm also very greatful that you're being a gentleman and waiting patiently," I said, a sweet smile forming as I spoke.

"You don't know how hard it is to see you with him every day Coreena," Zacky whispered, looking down as he spoke.

I knew what he meant. Ever since Syn and I have been together, he's been very affectionate towards me, especially in front of the guys. For the most part I was okay with it, but sometimes I would feel like he was being too clingy. I would also feel a pang of hurt and pain every time I saw Zack's face when Brian would kiss me in front of him or touch me, or even was just a little too close to me. I still had feelings for Synyster but I also was growing more attracted to Zack and falling harder and harder for him every time I would hang out with him or I would see him enter the room.

I snapped out of my daze when Lacey came downstairs with her things. I stood up, giving Zacky a 'I'm sorry' look, and picked up my things, heading out the door to the buses.

"Hey Coree, you ready for a kick ass time?" Lacey asked me with a grin that could put the Cheshire Cat to shame.

"Fuck yeah!" I said, putting on my best excited face.

I still had yet to tell her what had been going on with me, Zacky, and Brian. I smiled when I saw Jimmy behind the wheel and Matt arguing with him, obviously terrified of the idea of Jimmers driving the tour bus. I giggled as I got on the bus and put my things under the bunk that Syn and I would be sharing for the duration of the tour.
"There is no way in fucking hell that you are ever going to drive this bus James. I will not put everyone on the bus and on the road in that kind of danger!" Matt said, obviously putting Jimmy at a loss for words with the use of his full first name.

"Fine, you fucking fun sucker! But don't say I didn't warn you when you find my army of stallion ducks chasing you, trying to eat your nuts!" Jimmy shouted, picking up Lacey and throwing her on his back before running off the bus.

Matt shook his head, but none the less smiled as Jason took his rightful place behind the wheel with his brother Matt B. sitting beside him up front. I giggled as I felt two big, ink covered arms snake around my waist and Brian whispered in my ear, "Hey beautiful."

"Hey yourself handsome," I whispered back.

He kissed my neck before moving to help Zacky put the final things on the bus. Before I knew it we were off and on our way to our first destination of the tour.

We were in for a hell of a time.
