Moving Is the Hardest Part

Matt's Pov

So the guys and I are going to have a big going away bash at the beach tonight for Star with live music. The bell rings and I need to find Gates to see if he’ll do the damn thing and not cause a scene. I wait by his car with the guys and Gates walks out with his arm around Michelle’s waist smiling. When he notices us, he whispers something in her ear and she walks off with her friends. “Hey guys.” Syn says slowly walking over to us. I look at him and hide my disappointment, “We’re throwing a party down on the beach are you coming of not?” I ask. “Yea I’ll come.” He says with a small smile. Even thou Syn hurt my sister he’s still one of my boys and I just forgive him. “Gates…” he looks up at me, “We cool?” I ask. “Yea Shads we’re cool.” He says and we all hi-five each other.

“Okay everyone over to Shads place!” Rev yells hopping in Syn’s car. “We’ll be over!” everyone heads to their cars, but Johnny come with me to mine. They all follow me to my place, I pull up to the house, park my car on the curb and Star’s sitting on the porch chilling. She sees our cars pull up and she runs towards the cars. I get out the car and she runs into my arms, “God Star you miss me that much?” I laugh. “Can’t a sister be happy to see her only big brother and miss him?” she asks looking at me with the cutest smile on her lips. “Not if I don’t get a fucking hug!” Star looks behind me and runs to Johnny. He picks her up by the ass and I laugh at her face, “NO! Bad Johnny! No ass grabbing!” she scolds playfully slapping his shoulder. He laughs and puts her down. Rev runs and scoops her up bridle style, “Miss me?” “Nope!” she jokes and Rev acts like he’s about to cry. “I’m just kidding Jim you big baby!” Star says patting his cheek.

“Haha well looks who’s talking!” Rev and I say as he starts to rock Star back and forth in his arms. “That's different.” She says sticking her tongue out at me. “Where the hell is my Starlight? Fuck I can’t see shit!” Zacky yells making us all laugh as he walks around tripping over his own two feet like it’s twelve at night. Rev puts Star down and she runs over to Zacky, “I’m right here Zacky!” he looks her up and down, “No you’re not! MY Starlight is small, cute, and she has this amazing smile that makes my heart stop.” “That’s me!” Star says looking at Zacky batting her eyelashes. Zacky shakes his head and Star yells, “I am your Starlight you purple haired cocksucker!” we all fall to the ground laughing our asses off as Zacky quickly covers Star’s mouth with his hand and whispers rather loudly, “Shh! That’s our secret!” Star smiles and opens her arms for a hug, Zacky rolls his eyes and hugs her, “MY Starlight!” he says slowly letting Star go out of his embrace. “Okay let’s go! We need to get to the beac…” Star stops talking as her eyes lock with Syn’s.

Star's Pov

“Okay let’s go! We need to get to the beac…” I stop talking as my eyes lock with Brian’s. What the hell is he doing here? I ask myself. “Um…Star Syn’s coming with us.” Johnny says. “Fan-fucking-tastic!” I say rolling my eyes and walking to Matt’s car. “Okay let’s go!” I yell and everyone runs off into Matt’s house to get their interments. I sit in the back of Matt’s car as the guys bring their stuff out. “Okay the Berry’s are calling everyone to come to the beach and Val is picking up the girls.” Matt says getting in the car with Johnny. Matt pulls off and head to the beach. “And now one of California’s most requested songs!” the guys on the radio said and then a really happy upbeat beat started to play. Matt almost crashed into the car ahead of us when a guy and girls voice came on

Hi Barbie!
- Hi Ken!
- You wanna go for a ride?
- Sure, Ken!
- Jump in!
- Ha ha ha ha!

Matt sang along blasting the song loudly with his window down.

I stare at my brother in shock as he comes to a red light and starts dancing.

Come on, Barbie, let's go party Johnny sings. ha ha ha, yeah Matt sings back. I look out the window as laughter hits my ears. There is Jimmy and Brian with tears running down their faces all red from laughter. “This is not funny! He’s GAY!!” I yell just as two really hot girls pull up next to Matt’s car. They look at me then at the two idiots in the front and laugh. I roll up my window and curse the rest of the way to the beach. “Oh come on Star that’s my favorite song. You can’t hate it!” Matt wines. “Yes I can! You should have seen the look those chicks gave us-" “Oh relax people look at us all the time! It doesn’t matter anymore to us.” Matt says and I sigh in defeat. “Fine, but don’t ever do that when I’m around!” “Okay will do.” I laugh as Matt opens his arms for a hug, “You know you love me!” “Ugh don’t remind me.” I mumble giving him his hug and walking off.

Around six thirty the beach was all set up and tons of people from school that I did and didn’t like started to show-up. I'm talking to a girl from school when a pare of hands cover my eyes. “Guess who?” says the voice. I feel the person’s hands and I know it’s a guy. “Um…Jason?” “Yeppers!” he says happily turning me around. I laugh and give him a hug, “I’m loving your shirt.” I say. “Mattie got it for me.” The two of us talk and dance together for a good twenty minutes. “So you really have to leave?” “Yeah, but I’ll call every day and e-mail.” He nods his head, “You better!” Jason says. Someone tapes me on the shoulder, “Yeah?” I say turning around. “Hey!!” all the girls yell giving me a group hug. “When did you get here?” “Five minutes ago, we were going to say hi, but we got lost in how slutty Aiden and Kage looked.” “Along with my fucking sister!” Lacey and Val say gagging.

I laugh and the five of us go to the water’s edge, “So I see Mr. Gates is here.” Leana says. “Yea Matt’s going to perform and he needs his lead guitarist.” I say. “Doesn’t it bother you that he’s here?” Gena asks. Not as much as seeing you and Zack together. I think to myself. “It bothers me a little, but I’m leaving and I don’t want to hate Brian forever over something like Michelle, we’re friends and I want to keep it that way.” I say looking out at the water. “Well I think if you’re going to forgive him do it now so Michelle can’t fuck anything up.” Leana says. I nod, “You go have fun…I have to go find Gates.” The girls all get up, “Good luck hun.” They all say and walk off to their boyfriends.

I walk around and look for Brian, “Hey Mattie have you seen Syn?” I ask the other Berry brother, “Last place I saw him he was at his car.” I nod and head to the parking lot. I walk over to Syn’s car and he’s not there. I look around and see a figure sitting on the railing with their back turned to the party. I walk over and see that it’s Syn, “Hey.” I say. He looks up at me then back at the ground, “Mind if I sit with you?” I ask. He waves his hand not saying anything, so I sit down and stare at the ground. “…Be?” “Now you’re talking to me?!” he asks looking at me. “…Look I just want to say I…I forgive you.” I look up at him and he’s staring at me with a small smile. “Star I was drunk and I paid for it by losing you…my friend.” He said clearing his throat. “So we’re cool?” I ask, “Yeah we’re cool.” I smile and give Syn a hug. I've missed his touch, but something is different...it's not making me all happy inside this time.

Syn lets me go, “So why are you not at your party?” he asks. “It’s not a party unless all my boys are there.” He laughs and the two of us go back down to the party. Syn and I walk over to the group and they all have a smile on their face…but Zack…is he frowning? “It’s about damn time!” Johnny says making us all laugh. “Well let’s go Gates we’re on.” Shads says kissing Val deeply before he gets on stage. The guys follow suit and get in their spots. The girls and I stand in the front of the crowd as Shads starts talking, “Okay all you assholes for those of you who don’t know this is a going away party for my sister Sherry and you all better say bye cause trust me you’ll be pissed if you don’t.” Shads winks down me and I wink back. Zacky and Syn start to play and Shads starts to scream.

The mark I breathe on you. It’s burning through your soul. The breath I waste losing control. I bleed in pain. Testing what I know. Lips soaked in deceit. Pull me from here. No one’s innocent. So why do I feel bad?

The boys play ‘Lips of Deceit’, ‘We Come Out at Night’, ‘Hey Man Nice Shot’, and ‘Funeral Song’. Everyone at the party was split 50/50 some liked it others didn’t. “Okay so now it’s time to get a little crazy! Those of you who know Sherry know she can sing.” Shads looks down at me as the spot light hits me. I love singing if front of people and I know just the songs to sing. Zacky pulls me up on stage and Shads hands me the mike, “Sing!” he says smiling. I smirk and start to sing

Sending shivers right down your spine, it’s something that you’re prone to so divine. You were better at lies I was never surprised at the way that it felt now feel the blade I was always insane but you’re the one that needs help Quick We have the ransom tell me that you can swim when ropes are wrapped around your limbs. Below there’s no more chances. So tell me how that you can swim when ropes are wrapped around your limbs.

Breathing slowly never worked for me. I cut the throat of betrayal to watch him bleed. A poetic sonnet passion that I scream to the sky I’m tearing up I feel your love don’t leave me behind A poetic sonnet passion that I scream to the sky I’m tearing up I feel your love don’t leave me behind The smell of vanity went away. I followed streetlights till I wound up at your place.

We traced out veins we bled for days the current was strong enough tonight I can taste any more it lasted on my tongue. You weren’t strong enough to say Quick We have the ransom tell me that you can swim when ropes are wrapped around your limbs. Below there’s no more chances. So tell me how that you can swim when ropes are wrapped around your limbs.

Grab my heart; take this down, with your soul and burry it in the ground (gapes) GO!!

I talked to you today I heard the tremble in your voice cradle the fall I know you’ll never change so please just hold on. I know it’s hard for you it’s hard to understand betrayal within there is a fine line between betrayal betrayal and your friends.

So tell me how that you can swim when ropes are wrapped around your limbs. Quick We have the ransom tell me that you can swim when ropes are wrapped around your limbs. Below there’s no more chances. So tell me how that you can swim when ropes are wrapped around your limbs.

I finish the song ‘Ransom’ that I made up and the crowd all cheers. The boys and I preform four more songs, ‘So Sick’, ‘We’re All To Blame’, ‘Wait and Bleed’, and ‘Forgotten Faces’. When we got done everyone was clapping and yelling. I smile as all the guys give me a hug and we all got off stage to dance the rest of the night away. Right now I'm dancing with Zacky and he is holding me close as the beat to the music slows down. “I’ll miss you Starlight.” Zacky whispers in my ear. “I’ll miss you too Zacky.” I say. More then you’ll ever know I think to myself. Zacky turns me around so I'm now facing him and I look deep into his eyes, “I’ll always think of you.” I say resting my head on his chest. “I love you…” I think I heard Zacky say, but I just let it go…He’s with Gena he will never love me I think and Zacky kisses the top of my head as Gena and Jason interrupt our to dance.
