Status: working on the next chapter
Summer of hell
chapter 62
So happy the weekend was over, it was Friday night and us girls where going out. Maya was so excited to fine out that I was going and I was bring my so-called sisters. Whenever I talked about Shea and Val to anyone, I call them my sisters because we knew each other for a long time and we had gong throw so much together. When I had gone home from class, I had made sure that there was food in the house for them. Also Jon had everything that he need. We where going to take Val’s car because she as the gps in it. Also incase my dad wanted to take Jon out somewhere.
“Hey Val, what you wearing tonight?”
“Skinnies, converse, black and white t-shirt. You?
“I’m thinking the same but different top.”
-Shea-
I decide that I was going to stop by the studio before heading over to Val’s to be with the girls. But Andy also wanted to see me before going because he was going be home late and I was going to stay at my sister tonight. I hated driving late at night from her place to mine. I was about more then ten miles from her because I decide to sell my place and move back in with Andy. When I got to the studio, I walked in and I saw SammDoll sitting with her little puppy that Jinx got her this pass year.
“Hey Shea what up?”
“Nothing, the guys busy?”
“Andy is, he working on some kind of peaces for the song.”
“Oh shady,” Jake said walking out of the other room. I never really new why he called me that but I didn’t care, it was a nickname he started to call me. “What bring you here?” he sat down on the couch next to SammDoll.
“Andy wanted to see me before I when to my sisters.” He just nodded his head at me. “You know how much,”
“Hey beautiful,” Andy said cutting me off. He walked up behind me wrapping his arms around my waist. “Come outside with me.” He kissed my neck and then toke my hand to lead me out the doors.
“I’m coming,” Jake said jumping off the couch.
“Really man?” I couldn’t help but laugh. They where both so cut, “Okay fine,” Once the door had shut behind Jake, they both light up. I hated people that smoked but I couldn’t stop Andy from doing something he been doing for a while. He wrapped an arm around my shoulder because he was so much taller then me.
“So how the music coming?”
“Good, dude Shea you have no fucking clue,” Jake said just as Andy was about to talk. Andy looked at him as if he was a dog to back down. “Sorry man,”
“Yea, the whole album coming out really good. We’re talking about going on tour out East, well we kind got ask to do a three tour out there.”
“Oh really, how cool.” I smiled at him and I loved it when he smiled back at me. I loved everything about him but his smile just made it all so much better.
He finishes up his cigarette and the three of us headed back in the studio. Jinx was sitting there with SammDoll when we walked in. They where both on the laptop looking something up and they where very into whatever it was. Andy sat in the computer chair and pulled me into his lap. “Hey Shea, what was that band that you said your sister’s boyfriends where in?”
“Oh Avenged sevenfold, why?”
“Your going to a concert up North right?” Sammy looked up at me and I nodded. “I hope you know that you’re seeing them tonight.”
“What?!”
“Yea and another band called um, Asking Alexandria.”
“That fucking awesome, I don’t think they know about it. Well I think they know about Asking Alexandria.”
“Shea, you didn’t know who you where seeing?”
I turn and looked at Andy, “No, Anna ask and I was the first to say yes. Thanks guys for telling me,” I looked at my phone and saw that I had to get going. “Well I have to go, I might see you all tomorrow.” I got up and they wave at me as I walked out. Andy walked me out to the car. “Thank you,” I kiss him when we got to the car.
“Anything for my Shea, you be safe and text me when your leaving the concert.”
“Okay dad,” I couldn’t help but smile.
“Ha funny, love ya,”
“Love you too,” he kissed me one more time before closing the door. I started the car and head out of the parking lot. I was so excited for tonight show now that I knew who was playing. Anna is going to die when she fine out that the guys are playing.
-Anna-
It was almost time to leave and Shea wasn’t even here yet. I hated being late for anything. I was just like my mother when it came to thing like that. She hated to be a minue late to thing, me I didn’t care if I was minue or two but when it was about five then yea I wasn’t really happy. I when to Jon’s room to pull out a book that they could read to him and I also laid out his pjs for them as well. I when into the kitchen and he was in his chair just hang out with Lorie while she made food.
“He going to need a bottle soon, here I will make it for you. Then I will pass him to dad to feed.” She kept her eye on the stove and nodded at me. “You okay?”
“Yea,” she looked up to the wall but still didn’t look at me. “Your father ran to the store for me so he will be back.”
“Oh okay,” I got out the stuff to make the bottle when Val popped her head in.
“Shea down the street.” I turn and looked at her and shock my head. “Meet you out front.”
“Okay,” I finish making the bottle for them. “Well I’m going, tell dad that I thank him for watching Jon for me. His pjs and books are set out for you guys. Thank you so much,” I hugged her and that was the first I have done that. Then when over to Jon to hug him and then out the house I when.
As I came up to the front of the house, Shea was just pulling into the driveway. Val was already in her car ready to go. I got into front and Shea got into the back set, we where ready to go now. We head out to the main road and where ready to party tonight, we had the music going and everything. While we where about half way there, Jimmy had called me. He wasn’t sure if he was going to get to talk to me because he had show tonight and well I was going out. It was a little weird talking to him in the car with girls around. They didn’t care though.
-Almost there-
We where in the town and I was really excited to be out with the girls and just having fun like we use to. I had text Maya to let her know that we where down the street from the place. We where seeing people walking up to the place and I was getting worried that there was no parking by but we where about to get in the lot across the street. The guy told Val where to go and she was able to get a spot. She parked and we claimed out, I saw Maya across the street waiting for us. I looked up at the sign where the place was called to let Jimmy know where I was going. That when I saw Avenged Sevenfold in big bold letters.
I turn and looked at Val then Shea, “THEIR FUCKING HERE!” I screamed as lowed as I could.
“I KNOW!” they said at the same time and then looked at each other. “How?” they said again.
“Who fucking cares, let go.” I pulled them by there arms across the street. “Hey Maya,”
“Anna,” she ran over and hugged me. “I heard you, who here?”
“Um a band that I love, that all. Maya, this is Shea and Val my sisters. Guys this Maya.” They all said hi and May introduce her friends to me then we all walked to the doors.
We doing some talking about the bands that where playing tonight. Really I knew of Asking Alexandria and of course Avenged Sevenfold. I wasn’t going to tell Maya on how I knew the guys because I didn’t want to deal with anything. But when she was talking about how hot Jimmy was. Part was think ‘ha, yea you see him in bed’ then another part of me was thinking ‘bitch please that man is all mine’.
When we got inside, they got drinks while Shea and I got water bottles. Jimmy had called to make sire we where okay that he talks to me after he was done. I wanted to surprise him and didn’t say anything to him about being in the same place as him. I saw Michelle with her sister and ran over to see her. She was shock to see me, but we hadn’t seen each other after the guys left. I had ask her if she could let Matt know that I was here with the girls but don’t tell any of the others. She had no problem because she knew how excited they would be.
“Anna, they’re starting”
We where on the floor and we had to make sure where all together in our spot. The first couple of bands that where playing where just bands trying to get big. But once the first band that was opening up Asking Alexandria came on. They wheren’t so bad but not the best, while they played we where all dancing and going long with the music. Then I got a text from Michelle.
“He said no problem, to look for me because I have the back stage pass.”
I had texted her back, “okay”
The band played and then you heard, the drums go. You hear Danny Worsnop, “1, 2, 3, 4!
Come on, baby,
Keep it down.
Honey, hush your lips.
Clothes trailing
From the backdoor
To the bedroom
And I don't even know your name.(woah!)
Give me all you've got.
Make this night worth my time,
Make this worth my time (oh!)” I had looked over and I thought that Val was going to pass out on me. I knew that she really liked Danny but I didn’t realize how much until now.
We where dancing all around the place having great as time and I couldn’t believe that we where here hearing them for first the time. I had looked over and saw Shea having the greats time too. I was so happy that I was here with them and then the music started to slow down. The song started to go to a slow tempo and everyone in the room started to relaxes.
“One step too late
And I never told you
That I couldn’t take
Another disappointment.
Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending.
Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending.”
Then it picked up again and that was it we where all over the place. Val and I where doing our head banging, we where letting lose tonight. The guys where finishing up Not the American Average. Danny got on the microphone talking to us. I have to say that his voice was so fucking sexy to listen to. He was thanking us for coming out and shit. Hoping that we where having a great as time.
As bass and guitar started then the thimbles on the drums started, I knew what song it was. It was the song that I had fallen in love with when I had first started to listen to them.
“Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
Lived 9 to 5 and he worked his fingers to the bone
Just barely get out of school, came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down, oh no
He had no money, oh, no good at home
He walked the streets as soldier and he fought the world alone
18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go
18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go”
I didn’t know what made me fall in love with this song but I was so excited when that started to play with it. I was sing long as mush as I could as I was dancing long with it to. Then when the song was over, I was little upset because I could listen to this song over and over again.
The next song, you hear the drums going and then everyone long with the band yells or well scream “Oh my God,
oh my God,
if only he knew,
if only he knew,
if only he knew about the world
without the bullshit and the lies.”
“Ah!” She screams into my ear, I had though that I lost my eardrum because her. I looked at her little confuse, “What! I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG!” she was screaming or well trying to scream long with him.
“Just stand up and scream,
the tainted clock is counting down.
You gave in to me,
would you say the nights are far too long now?
Your knife,
my back.
My gun,
your head.
Your knife,
my back.
My gun,
your head.”
As soon the song was coming to an end, Danny started to introduce the guys in the band. First he started with Sam Bettley, who was on the bass and then Ben Bruce as the lead guitars. Cameron Liddell with the rhythmus guitar and they save James Cassells for the last. When I saw him, I thought I was in a whole different world. He was so pretty and I really would like to meet him but who knew. After they all said their good byes then the curtains close and it was time for my boy to go on. Melody had come to fine us which was odd.
“What?” I turn to look at her.
“Get Val and come with me for a minue.” She started to walk away so I grabbed Val, who grabbed Shea. I couldn’t really see where we were going, it was so dark and then we were at a man. She held something up, pointed to the three and he let us go. There was Sam from Asking Alexandria with a beer. He wasn’t so bad looking himself standing there.
“Anna,” I turn and heard someone yelling my name. I felt someone run up behind me and swung me around. I couldn’t believe it was Johnny coming to see me, “I’m excited you’re here.”
“Awh, me too.” I hugged him. Then I saw the guys walking out of the dressing room. “Hey boys, you want to say hi before going on?” I let go of Johnny so he could hug the other two.
“What you doing here,” Bri asking walking up to us.
“Well hello too you to,” Val said letting going of Johnny. “We very happy to see you too.”
“I’m happy see you girls but the baby?”
“He out in the crowed rocking out.” Brian turned and looked at me as he hugged Val. Her and I couldn’t help but laugh on how he believed me. “He home with my father and Lorie.”
He hugged me then as the rest of the guys where walking to the stage, they said hi and hugged on there way out. Jimmy and Zacky where really excited to see us there. Jimmy was trying to get me to be in the back behind him on the drums but I couldn’t let me secret out. The three of us decide to head out to watch the guys. I couldn’t believe how great they all looked up there.
“Where were you,” Maya ask me as I walked up to our stop that we where at.
“Oh we had to go the bathroom that all. This the band you like?”
“Yea, the drummer sexy as hell.”
“Yea he is sexy up there,” I said with a smile.
I really couldn’t believe that I was here seeing my man do what he was best at. To see the guys that toke me as if I was family with them and seeing Zacky was blowing out of my mine. I had never seen my brother do something like that, even when we lived in Jersey. I didn’t want the night to end; I wanted it to go on forever it had made me feel so alive.
“Hey Val, what you wearing tonight?”
“Skinnies, converse, black and white t-shirt. You?
“I’m thinking the same but different top.”
-Shea-
I decide that I was going to stop by the studio before heading over to Val’s to be with the girls. But Andy also wanted to see me before going because he was going be home late and I was going to stay at my sister tonight. I hated driving late at night from her place to mine.
