    Artemis groaned out in frustration as her fingers refused to cooperate. She was trying to get one of her favorite band, Avenged Sevenfold's song Hail to the King re-written for string instruments so she could perform it on her youtube channel for the contest they were having. She hoped she would win because she admired the whole band a lot and she had a big crush on Zacky Vengeance.

    Brian chewed on his thin bottom lip as he toyed with his guitar strap. He was sitting in a swivel chair in his home studio waiting for Ally to show up and he was nervous. He hated being nervous but he was. He never understood why he got nervous around the blonde either. They had been friend for only god knows how long and he adored her. She had been there for him through everything. Ally was amazing.

    Zacky sat in his home office, sighing heavily as he went through social media, updated his site, updated pretty much everything, and then sat back and relaxed to look at these entries that were coming in like wildfire. It had been their manager's idea, and Warner agreed with them. He and Matt were the two responsible for looking over things, and since Matt was busy with the new baby, Zacky had agreed to take on all the submissions for now.

    Ally parked on the curb and got out, walking to the front door and knocking on it. She hated coming to Brian's house. She really did. Well, only as of the past few months. She was pretty sure he knew she liked her, and he reciprocated the flirting all the time, but it was like he was completely ignoring her feelings, and she hated it. She hated putting herself out there only to be shut down. So she had decided that she would only be Brian's friend, and that she would move on and find a different guy. She just needed someone to make her life complete. That's how she felt, at least.

    Artemis grinned when her hands finally started cooperating and the notes began falling into place. Everything was going to be perfect she just knew it. After all her entire youtube channel was her covering and mashing up popular songs from all genres and putting them to violin, viola, cello, bass and piano. Sometimes the redhead added vocals and she figured for this one she would since she had practiced and she knew she could hit the notes she needed to. She spent the a couple more hours perfecting her sheet music and then began recording everything for the video.

    Brian heard Pinkly barking and knew it meant Ally was here. He bolted from his chair, running to his front door, quickly checking over his appearance in a nearby mirror before he opened the door and greeted her with a small smile. "Hey Ally," he spoke. "Do ya want somethin' to drink?"

    Zacky was honestly shocked by how good some of these people were. He half expected them to be shitty when he'd first started playing them, but damn, there were some really talented people out there. And it was going to be hard making a decision. But at least Matt would help him with that. He wouldn't be able to make it on his own and be fair. He could be a bit biased sometimes.

    Ally smiled slightly and shook her head. "No thanks," she murmured, biting her lip as she looked over him before she looked at the floor and stepped in. A grin immediately spread across her face when Pinkly began to circle her legs, and she giggled, leaning down and letting the dog lick her hand. "Hi Miss Pinkly," she greeted. "I missed you too."

    It took Artemis the rest of the day and most of the next day to record all the pieces she needed to including the costumes she wanted to include so she sort of looked like each member of Avenged Sevenfold. After she finished everything she spent the rest of the day with snacks and coffee in front of her computer editing and re-dubbing the audio so it sounded clearer like she did with all her videos. Once she finished all of that she added the intro that talked about the contest and end clips that showed the other Avenged Sevenfold songs she had done in annotations as well as in links in the description box. Once she was sure everything was perfect she loaded the video to YouTube and sent the link to the contest page, hoping it was good enough to win.

    "Are you going to be able to stay for dinner tonight," Brian asked. He wanted to spend as much time as he could with her even if he wasn't willing to admit to himself that he liked her. Michelle had messed him up emotionally so there was always that fear in the back of his mind that as soon as he decided to open up to Ally about his emotions she would laugh in his face and leave his life for good.

    Zacky continued to sit through the submissions. He was starting to get a bit of a migraine, but he knew if he stopped now, he'd never get through the rest of them, so he pushed through. He wrote down names as he went, writing the ones that he thought were the best that he and Matt would have to go through at the end of the week, before the contest ended. He was getting into the newer videos, and he saw one that was brand new, had only been uploaded about fifteen minutes ago, of a girl, which had been a rare occurrence so far. He clicked on the video and began to watch it, a smile on his face as he did. He absolutely loved the version of the song, and it seemed like she had put so much effort into it (more than he had been putting into this contest), so he immediately wrote her name down without question. Matt had to see this.

    Ally looked up at Brian and nodded her head. "Sure," she murmured. She stood up and slid her jacket off, hanging it up before she took her shoes off and then walked into the living room. She picked Pinkly up and then plopped down on the couch, setting the little dog down in her lap and scratching her ears. Sometimes she felt like she had more of a chance at getting with Pinkly than she did with Brian, which was really sad. She had known Michelle as long as she had known Brian, and she'd always thought Michelle was the perfect girl for him, because the two were like the same person, but maybe she had been wrong in setting the two up. But she wouldn't tell Brian that she was the one that had convinced Michelle to start dating him, because Michelle hadn't wanted to in the first place.

    Artemis decided that she needed to get out of the house since she had essentially been cooped up for the past couple days doing her youtube videos. She grabbed her camera, deciding to do a little vlog and did a short intro about how she planned on driving to Santa Monica to hang out at the pier and enjoy the beach for a little while. The redhead lived in Anaheim so it wasn't too bad of a journey especially since most people worked Wednesdays during the middle of the day. Artemis usually did too but because her being able to be apart of the YouTube partnership she was able to quit her normal full time job and just do YouTube as well as her painting and music. She slid on her cute coral polka dot bikni, sliding on some jean shorts and a Fall Out Boy tank top before grabbing some flip flops and everything else she would needed.

    Brian smiled as he sat down next to Ally, scratching Pinkly's ears when the dog stopped moving enough to allow him to do so. It honestly amazed him how much his dog loved Ally. Pinkly was never this loving with Michelle or any of the other girl's. Of course Ally had helped Brian pick Pinkly out so that was probably why they were so bounded. "So how have you been Ally? I feel like we haven't talked in a while."

    Zacky found himself straying from the submission videos, and watching the girl's other covers. She was really good. He really didn't understand how she could play so many instruments and still remember how to play others. If he played that many instruments, he'd probably lose his mind. He began to watch some of her vlogs, feeling like he needed to get to know her, for some reason.

    Ally shrugged a shoulder and looked up at him. "I've been fine," she simply said before diverting her gaze back to Pinkly. She had honestly been trying to avoid Brian the best she could, but even after everything, she was still his friend, and she couldn't avoid him forever. As she stared down at Pinkly, an idea came to her mind, and she wondered if it would bother him at all. "I met someone. He's really sweet. And I think he likes me." She smiled up at Brian. It wasn't totally a lie.

    Artemis posted on her Twitter that was like to her youtube she would be at the Santa Monica pier if any on wanted to say hi and chat. She was a friendly person and most of her over half a million subscribers on YouTube loved to just talk instruments with her since she even knew how to play more than what she showcased in her videos. She took almost three hours to get to Santa Monica because of lunch traffic, finding a parking spot, lotioning up before she began recording again. She put her stuff in some lockers that they had and decided to wade and swim for a bit, loving that she could afford to live in California.

    Brian felt his heart break at her words but managed to keep his face neutral. He didn't want Ally to know her finding someone effects him. She honestly deserved someone who hadn't had his heart so crushed he was scared to admit he had feelings for her. "Thats great," he lied back. "When do I get to meet him?"

    Zacky watched some of her video blogs, raising an eyebrow when he saw one had just uploaded. It took a few for YouTube to play it, but when it finally loaded, he saw that she was going to be in Santa Monica and he immediately perked up. Maybe this was kind of cheating, but it wouldn't be if he just coincidentally ran into her, right?

    Ally bit her lip. "I don't know," she mumbled. She wanted to tell him that it was none of his business. That if he couldn't grow some balls and be a man, he didn't deserve to know who she was going to be with. But she couldn't say those things to him. No matter how much she wanted to, she couldn't. "Why do you want to meet him? He's not a jerk, I promise."

    Artemis ran into a few fans when she grabbed her stuff from the lockers and grabbed some food at one of the local vendors. She sat down with them and began talking to them about make up, her musical influences and just about everything possible that you could think of. They asked for an autograph and a photo which she was happy to give them, smiling and thanking them for chatting with her.

    "Well the last guy you liked turned out to be a dick in the end," Brian mumbled. He knew it was a bad idea to bring that guy up but he was desperate to deter her from any guys that weren't him. He had genuine feelings for her he just didn't have the balls to admit it because he knew deep down she wouldn't ever feel the same way.

    Zacky got dressed and drove to Santa Monica, hoping that by the time he got there, she would still be there. If he spotted her, he'd casually walk over, pretend like he didn't know her, and hopefully when she saw him, she'd try to talk to him because she was a fan. If he had to start the conversation, it would be kind of awkward for him.

    Ally frowned deeply, sitting up straight and looking at him. She couldn't help the anger that immediately took over, and before she could even think, the words flew right out of her mouth. "It's Brent," she said, crossing her arms over her chest and narrowing her eyes at him. When she realized what she said, her eyes went wide and she bit her lip hard. Oh no.

    Artemis was still at the pier, sitting in the shade under it as she ate a corn dog and enjoyed listening to the ocean. It was so calming she knew if she laid down in the sand she'd end up falling asleep. She re-applied her sunblock once she finished eating, throwing away her trash and decided to lay out on her towel for a little bit while she listened to her ipod.

    Brian's eyes widened as he was unable to contain his shock. She liked his brother? She had to be joking. Out of anyone she could like in Huntington she liked him. "Please tell me you're joking," he scoffed. "We both know the most Brent does with girls is one night stands and you are not okay with that at all Ally."

    Zacky had made a point not to have anything to eat before he came so he could grab something. He got a beer and a burger, sitting down on a bench and looking around. It was a really nice day. It had been a while since he'd been here, and he needed to come more often. He scanned over all the people, trying to see if he could point out the girl he was looking for. But there were so many girls, and a lot of them looked the same, it was hard to tell.

    Ally stood up and crossed her arms over her chest, looking down and thinking quickly. "That's not true, Brian," she said. She was going to keep this little charade up. It was the most reaction she'd gotten out of him in a while. "Brent's a good guy. He's nice, and sweet . . . and you know, he's kind of really handsome too." She looked up at him and raised an eyebrow. "Are you jealous?"

    Artemis decided to call it a day after a while, checking her phone and seeing a text message from a friend who wanted to hang out at her place. She replied to it, heading back to her car when she spotted someone she swore looked like Zacky Vengeance from Avenged Sevenfold. She tapped his shoulder lightly and waited until he looked up at her. "Excuse me are you Zacky Vee," she asked.

    Brian frowned. "Of course he's nice and sweet," he snapped. "It's because he looks at you like a sister and not someone he wants to fuck once and never see again. God Ally I thought you were smarter than this." He ran his hands over his face and sighed. "I can't deal with this," he mumbled. "If you want to get your heart broken by my brother go do it far away from me."

    Zacky looked up and smiled when he realized it was the girl from the videos. "Oh, yeah," he chuckled nonchalantly, taking a sip of his beer before he stood up. "Can I help you?" He was glad that he was right about her coming to him, because he never would have found her otherwise. All he could think about as he looked at her was the beautiful music she made, and how he wanted to be able to make music as beautiful as she did.

    Ally frowned and looked at him. "I thought you were my friend, Brian," she said. "You're supposed to support me no matter what." She honestly felt hurt that he didn't support her, even if she had been lying in the first place. She walked over and slid her shoes on before grabbing her jacket. She wanted to hurt him back, for hurting her. And it hurt her to hurt him, but she was so angry, she couldn't help herself. "By the way, Michelle never loved you. I made her ask you out because I knew you liked her and I just wanted to see you happy." She walked out the door and headed for her car, deciding that avoiding him would be the best option after all.

    "My name is Artemis," she introduced. "I just wanted to say I'm a huge fan of your clothing line and your band." She timidly sat down on the bench in front of him, smiling as she took a sip of her water. "Your music is so beautifully written and the lyrics fit the melody of each song so perfectly. It honestly makes it so exciting to cover each song when I do."

    Brian followed after Ally, grabbing her arm and glared at her. "Well you shouldn't have," he snapped. "Michelle fucking broke me and now I know you're partially to blame for that." He let go of her arm, walking back inside and slammed his front door shut before he felt tears fall down his face. He grabbed some vodka from his pantry, deciding to drink his sorrows away like he used to when Michelle first left him.

    Zacky raised an eyebrow as if he didn't know she covered their songs, and he sat back down. "You cover our songs?" he questioned, taking a small bite of his burger before he smiled at her. "Are you any good?" He already knew the answer to that, but he was curious as to what she thought of herself. One thing he loved about women was confidence.

    Ally frowned deeply, biting her lip hard. She felt bad for hurting him, but he'd hurt her. She got in her car and started it, sighing heavily before she began to drive home. When she got home, she crawled into her bed and cried into her pillow for a good hour before her eyes were too sore and dry to produce anymore tears. She rubbed at them and sniffled, grabbing a tissue to blow her nose into.

    "I earned my partnership with YouTube thanks to my all strings version of Eternal Rest so I'm pretty flippin amazing," Artemis stated. She pulled her phone from her small bag, pulling up the video, waiting for it to load and showed it to Zacky, hoping he liked it since it was more orchestration than rock n roll.

    Brian drank for the rest of the night, falling asleep beside his toilet since he knew he would wake up and end up puking his guts up anyways since vodka always did that to him. He was so upset and he felt utterly betrayed by what Ally had admitted to him. Maybe if she hadn't pushed Michelle into dating him they could be dating because he wouldn't be afraid of admitting his feelings.
