With This Ink in Our Skin We've Sealed Our Fate
Eight
"I have an announcement," Matt said, walking into the living room.
"You have AIDS?" Zacky asked, lazily playing a video game against Johnny while leaning on Gena.
He rolled his eyes, "No."
"You have gonorrhea?" Jimmy asked, tracing invisible circles with his finger on Leana's thigh.
"No, asshole."
"You're pregnant!" Bree said from my lap with a mock gasp.
"Well, then I won't tell you," Matt said, pouting and sitting down with Val.
"Just tell us," Johnny said.
"Two words," Matt started, "European tour!"
We all smiled, "Rad," I said, then looked at Bree, "Can you go?"
She turned over and looked at Matt, "When is it?"
"In 2 days, for two months," he said.
She shook her head sadly, "I might be able to go for like a week or two."
I frowned. She looked up at me, stood up, then held her hand out to me. I hoisted myself off the couch and grabbed her hand. We walked slowly to my room. I closed the door and she sat on my bed, looking down, her hair covering her face. I kneeled in front of her, between her legs.
"Hey. Hey, beautiful, please look at me?" I begged quietly.
She looked into my eyes, "I just got you," she said, "I just had you, and you're leaving."
I kissed her softly, "I know, baby, I know."
She put her hands through my hair, "It never hurt this bad before," she said.
I rested my hands on her thighs, "That's because we weren't together," I said softly.
She sighed and I kissed her again. She stared into my eyes.
"I want to come with you," she said, "But I can't."
I wiped the tears away, "Baby girl, don't worry about it. I have to come to terms with the fact that you have a career, too," I said.
"I'd give it up for you," she said, pouting.
I bit her jutted-out lip affectionately, "I know, honey, but I don't want you to give up your job."
She gave me a faint smile, "I won't."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Last call for the flight to Italy."
I picked up my bag and boarded the plane. I found my seat, thankfully, that was near a window. Just my luck, a teenage boy and girl with two adults come sidling down the row. The boy announced that his seat was next to me. He looked at me and his eyes widened.
"Bree Bloodshed!" he squeaked.
I smiled, "Hey."
His sister smiled, "Oh my God!"
"I guess you two are sitting here," their mother said.
The two nodded, "Yeah."
Their parents sat behind us. The boy sat next to me, and the girl sat in the aisle seat. The girl smiled.
"How come you're going to Italy?" she asked.
"God, that's a dumb question," the boy muttered.
I smiled, "No, it's not. I'm going to meet my boyfriend."
"Is he some hot Italian guy?" the girl asked.
I laughed, "No. It's Synyster Gates."
The boy's eyes widened, "The Synyster Gates? The guitar God?!"
I smiled, "That's my baby."
The girl smiled, "We're going to visit family, but we get a night off to go to the show."
I smiled, "Really? Maybe I can get you two backstage."
The boy's eyes widened again, "That would be amazing! I'm Dylan."
I smiled, "Nice to meet you."
The girl smiled again, "I'm Ashlynn."
"Nice to meet you both," I said.
My SIdekick rang. I looked down and saw Brian's face pop up. I smiled.
"Hey boo."
He laughed, "Hey sexy. Did you take off yet?"
"Not yet, baby."
"Well damn, what's taking so long?"
"The world is against us, baby boy," I said, smirking.
"Well I don't like it," he whined.
"Guess what?" I said, looking at Dylan.
"What?"
"I met fans of you morons on the plane," I said.
"I am not a moron!" he said, "Johnny is."
"Fuck you, Gates!" I heard in the background.
I laughed, "I love you, Johnny!" I called.
Ashlynn smiled, "Johnny?"
"She has a major crush on him," Dylan whispered.
I smiled, "Atleast someone loves me," Johnny said, getting on the phone.
"What happened, J Christ?" I asked, using my favorite pet name for him.
"Lacey left me. Said she couldn't handle being with a rockstar," he said.
"J Christ, I'm sorry," I said.
"Here's Syn. He's begging for his phone," Johnny said.
"Okay, bye hun, don't be too upset."
"Hey baby," Brian said.
"Lacey broke up with him?" I asked.
"Yeah."
Ashlynn looked at me and smirked. I laughed.
"That's not funny," Brian said.
"No, I'm laughing at Ashlynn."
"Who?"
"One of the fans I met on the plane," I explained.
"Oh. Well, I have to go now."
"Okay, I do, too."
"I'll see you in a few hours," he promised.
"Will you be at the airport?"
"Of course, baby."
"See you soon, boo," I said softly.
I almost heard the smile in his voice, "Not soon enough."
I hung up, "So, Ashlynn, how old are you?"
She smiled, "Nineteen."
"Well, Mister Christ's girlfriend has left him," I said.
She laughed, "Well now."
I smiled as Dylan said, "Well isn't that convenient for her?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The plane finally landed in a random Italian airport. I was still walking with Dylan and Ashlynn, when I saw Brian.
"Oh my God!" I giggled.
"What?" Dylan asked.
I pointed and Syn, and he repeated, "Oh my God."
Brian walked up to us and wrapped his arms around me. I tightened my grip on his sides.
"Bree," he whispered, "I forgot how beautiful you are."
I smiled, put my hands on his cheeks, and kissed him. He kissed back harder.
"You're so hot," he whispered.
I blushed, "Hm, right back at you."
He smiled and we were interrupted by Dylan's phone ringing.
"Hello? Yeah, we're coming. Sorry, Mom. Okay, bye."
He hung up, "Our mom wants us to go with them."
"Can I get your number?" Ashlynn asked, 'Maybe we can hang out or something?"
I smiled, "Definitely."
I gave her my number, then quickly introduced them both to Brian. Dylan was awe struck.
"You're my hero," he called to Syn as they walked away.
Brian laughed, "Thanks dude!"
He looked down at me, "Hello gorgeous," I said, smiling.
He laughed, "I missed you."
I kissed him again, "Hm, I missed you."
He picked me up, and I wrapped my legs around his waist.
"Hey cutie. Ready to go to my hotel?" he asked.
I smiled, "Let's go to your room and make out a lot," I suggested.
He smiled widely, "Yes ma'am."
I was going to get down from his arms, but he kept me in his arms, but shifted me onto his back and walked toward baggage claim. We waited for my bags to show up on the conveyer belt, receiving weird looks from the other people waiting. I pointed at my bag.
"This is all, baby?" he asked, picking it up effortlessly.
"Yeah," I said, resting my head on his shoulder.
He walked up to a car that I didn't recognize and opened it. I slid off his back and got into the passanger side. He slid across the hood to the driver's side. I pulled my Sidekick out and saw that I had a text from Zacky, who I was the closest to, besides Matt and Brian.
ZackyV: ay baybay. where are you?
BreeShadz: driving, homo.
ZackyV: listen, bitch.
BreeShadz: ily baby :]
ZackyV: all the sexy girls do.
BreeShadz: but theres a difference between me and them.
ZackyV: you already have gotten in my pants?
BreeShadz: besides that ONE time that i was HIGH OFF MY ASS because of YOU.
ZackyV: technicalities, dude.
BreeShadz: they only see you as a sex god. i mean, you aren't THAT good. ROFL.
ZackyV: fuck you.
BreeShadz: i love you, too.
"Who are you texting?" he asked.
"Vengeance," I said, looking over at him, "You got your hair cut," I observed.
He smiled at me, "Do you like it?"
I nodded, "It's hot."
ZackyV: where are you bff of mine?
BreeShadz: oh now im yours?
ZackyV: ill maul you when you walk in the hotel, dude.
BreeShadz: im in the parking lot. ill give you a big big hug when I get there. ask yor gf and syn if i can kiss you, lol
ZackyV: fuck me, im not gonna have to ask for those am i?
BreeShadz: lemme ask.
"Baby," I looked over at Brian, who was parking the car.
"Yeah?"
"Do I have to ask you if I can pop-kiss Zacky now?"
He turned the car off, "Haven't you guys done that since you were like 13?"
I nodded, "Then no," he said.
I smiled, "Okay."
He got out of the car, slid across the hood again and opened my door. I stepped out, smiling at him.
"Since when did you become all Dukes of Hazzard?" I asked.
He wrapped his arms around me, "Since I got my baby from an airport in Italy."
I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. He pulled away smiling. Then he reached into the little car and got my bag. We laced our fingers and walked into the lobby of the hotel. He guided me toward the elevator.
BreeShadz: we dont have to ask. well, we dont have to ask b atleast.
ZackyV: i told gena that weve done it for yrs, so shes cool.
BreeShadz: im in the elevator, homo.
The elevator doors opened and Brian guided me down the hallway. We took a left and I heard the voices of my best friends.
"Fuck you, faggot."
"Atleast I get more than you."
"Can we stop the insults and give Bree some love?" I asked, stepping into view.
Zacky looked up and grinned. He ran over to me and wrapped his arms around me, "Breeeeeeeeeevil!!!" he exclaimed.
"Zacky!" I squealed, hiding my face in his shoulder.
I looked up and he smiled, then we pop-kissed like we have for years. I felt a hand on my hip and someone pull me out of Zacky's embrace.
'If you'll excuse me, we have prior plans," Brian said, smiling.
"Hold on!" Matt yelled, and came over to us, sweeping me off my feet, literally.
"Matthew!!" I smiled and hugged my older brother.
"How was your flight?" he asked.
I gave him a thumbs up, "Fabulous."
"What's this I hear we have a new girl for J Christ?" Val asked, giving me a hug.
I smiled, " I met a nineteen year old on the plane, and she was definitely a Christ fan."
"Did you get her number?" Johnny asked.
I smiled, "Yeah."
He kissed my cheek, "Thanks."
I smiled and walked with Brian to our room, "See you guys later!" I called.
They all waved. He shut the door and laid down on the bed. I climbed on top of him and straddled him. He put his hands on the back of my thighs, just under my ass.
"All to myself," he said, smiling.
I smiled and lied down on top of him, tangling our legs together. He captured my lips in his. I put one hand on his cheek, and ran the other through his short hair. He opened his legs and I sank between them. A few minutes into making out, my Sidekick vibrated. I pulled away.
"Mm, hold on," I said softly.
He pouted and I pulled the Sidekick out of my back pocket.
"Hello?"
"Hey! It's Ashlynn."
"Oh, hey!" I smiled as Brian rested his head on my chest, but still looked at me.
"Dylan and I aren't staying at our family's house because they don't have enough room, so my mom said that we could stay at your hotel, is that okay?"
"That's rad!" I exclaimed, "We're at Hotel Bella. Johnny Christ will be way happy about that. I'm gonna take Matt down to reception so that you guys are on our floor."
"Okay! I'll call you when we get there."
"Okay, see you soon."
I hung up and put my Sidekick back in my back pocket.
"Who was that? The girl?" Brian asked.
I nodded, "Yeah, there isn't enough room at her family's house, so she's coming to this hotel."
Brian smiled, "That's cool."
I smiled, "I need to go with Matt and arrange for her and her brother to get our floor."
He kissed me one more time, "Okay," he whispered.
I kissed him again, "Mmm, sexy boy."
He smiled and pressed his lips to mine, "Hey sexy girl."
I bit his lip, and kissed him, "My sexy boy."
He kissed me back, "My sexy, sexy girl."
I kissed him, "I gotta go."
"No, sexy girl," he whispered, staring into my eyes.
"Baby, I'll be back," I said.
"Promise?" he asked.
I kissed him, "Yes."
He rolled over so he was off of me, and I got off the bed. I checked my hair in the mirror and turned around and looked at Brian.
"See you in a few minutes, sexy boy," I said, opening the door.
He smiled and I closed the door. Gena was half out of the door, "Hey Bree!"
"Hey, where's Matt?" I asked, giving her a hug.
"He's in here, actually," she said, opening the door wider.
"Matthew!" I sang out, skipping into the room.
He was lying down on the other bed, playing a video game against Zacky.
"What's up?" he asked.
"I need you to come with me to the receptionist desk because my friends are coming to this hotel and I want them to be on our floor."
"Rooms are under Zacky's name, take him," he said.
"Baby, come with?" I asked.
Zacky gave his controller to The Rev, who was sitting on the floor, "Let's go."
We walked toward the elevator and went into the lobby. Ashlynn and Dylan were walking in.
"Ash, Dylan, hey!" I called.
They walked over to where we were standing, Zacky had his arm around my shoulder.
"Ash, Dylan, this is Zacky. Zacky, these are the fans I met on the plane."
Zacky shook their hands, and I kissed Dylan's cheek and gave Ash a hug in greeting. We arranged for their rooms to be on our floor, then walked back to the elevator.
"Why is the reservations under your name, Zacky?" I asked.
He rolled his eyes, "It was my turn. I hate when it's my turn."
I smiled and we arrived on our floor. Dylan and Ashlynn got a connecting room, and I waited with Ash while she fixed her hair.
"Ready to meet the guys?" I asked, sitting on her bed.
She smiled, "Of course."
I grabbed her hand and we shut her door. We walked hand-in-hand to Zacky's room.
"You have AIDS?" Zacky asked, lazily playing a video game against Johnny while leaning on Gena.
He rolled his eyes, "No."
"You have gonorrhea?" Jimmy asked, tracing invisible circles with his finger on Leana's thigh.
"No, asshole."

She looked into my eyes, "I just got you," she said, "I just had you, and you're leaving."
I kissed her softly, "I know, baby, I know."
She put her hands through my hair, "It never hurt this bad before," she said.
