This was a great start to the first chapter. I really love how Layla and Matt are together and the chemistry you're putting between the two. I can't wait to see more!
I used to be an avid Avenged Sevenfold bandfic reader back in the day (god, I sound so old saying that), and although my style of music and fanfic has changed, I thought I'd give your story a shot. And I'm glad I have.
It's cute and slightly cheesy, but I think the majority of bandfics are, but I'm liking the little bit of mystery you’ve woven in. Not knowing who Layla's dad is, knowing that A7X are going to be famous, but wondering how Layla is going to play an influence on it. It's an interesting start to say the least. I’m looking forward to seeing where this is going! Maybe you’ll be the author who gets me hooked on this type of story again :P
