Bitter Sweet Symphony

Try to make ends meet,
You’re a slave to money then you die

Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh FUCK SHIT FUCK

I just HAD to open my big mouth and comment back what I was thinking….well…I was thinking a lot more choice words but I only said that little sentence and it was going to bite me in the ass I just knew it.

Well looks like I’ll be heading home a month early. Roger will fire me and…wait…why is the band laughing???

I came back to reality to find a confused Andrea, band manager, and Brian. Actually Brian just looked downright pissed.

“What the HELL is so funny!?”

“She told you off goooood Bri man!”

“Jimmy shut the hell up!”

“No can do man.”

“She called you out BIG time man”

“All of you just shut up!”

Zack stepped forward and patted Brian’s shoulder.

“Come on Bri man calm down. You had it coming to you.”

Jimmy walked forward and hugged me tightly.

“I like you!”

“JIMMY!”

Jimmy let me go and turned to Brian.

“Dude she told you off. No one EVER does that!”

“Hey that’s true Jimmy everyones always soooo afraid of Synyster Gates”

I could feel the sentence forming in my mouth and I couldn’t stop it…damnit I wished I could stop it.

“Why he’s not THAT scary looking”

SHIT ALINA SHIT

I threw my hand over my mouth and Andrea smacked me upside the head. However the band just cracked up laughing again. Brian in an even more pissed mood just stormed out of the room and down the hallway. Their band manager said a quick apology and rushed after one of his band members.

Johnny gave me a hug and walked away still laughing and toward where Brian could be heard yelling.

Zacky came and gave me a hug and a high five.

“My girlfriends gonna LOVE you!”

“Oh your girlfriends are all here?”

Matt hugged me and started to walk away.

“No Johnny and Brian are single but Zacky, Jimmy, and my girlfriends are here. Val’s gonna love you too”

Zacky smilied wide and walked out after Matt.

Only Jimmy stayed put just grinning ridiculously big at me.

“Um….hi?”

“HI YOU’RE AWESOME!”

Jimmy picked me up and swung me around in a hug before putting me down and running out the door.

“See you tomorrow morning Alina Sweetheart!”

I just waved and stared at the empty doorway. Andrea had to shake me out of my dazed mindset.

“You should be more careful Alina”

I sighed.

“I know Alina he just rubbed me the wrong way.”

“Mhmm well TRY to keep them ALL of them happy!”

“Don’t worry I will. I will be nothing if of the utmost friendliest person they have ever met. No matter HOW mad Brian may make me.”

Andrea just gave me a look and went to print out the week’s schedule for me to have and give to the guys.

“You remember the number one rule right?

I rolled my eyes.

“Come on Andrea”

Andrea just looked at me sternly.

“Come on Alina say it.”

I rolled my eyes again and let out an overly dramatic sigh.

“Never, repeat, NEVER sleep with a member of the band no matter how much you may want to, because nothing , repeat NOTHING good comes from doing that.”

Andrea looked satisfied.

“Good no here’s your schedule. Follow it precisely. Any questions?”

“Yeah can I kill Brian and make it look like an accident?”

Andrea started to laugh but quickly stopped.

“No”

“Damnit”

Andrea smiled and we started to walk out together.

“Remember that rule Alina. I’d hate to lose you”

“You won’t lose me. You heard them their girlfriends are all here.”

“Oh I heard them alright. I also heard how Johnny and Brian are single and girlfriendless”
I looked at Andrea who was looking at me with a slight smile.

“Okay ONE Johnny is cute but not for me. And SECOND Brian and I wouldn’t happen in a million katrillion bajillion years!”

Andrea just shrugged and headed for her car. Before getting in she looked over at me at my temporary car.

“Opposites attract darling”

~~~~ Next Day – 11a.m. ~~~~

I stood in the lobby of the hotel the band was staying at. I was waiting for everyone to get downstairs so we could all go for food and talk about that day’s schedule.

I heard the elevator opening and I looked over to see Matt and Val walking off followed by Zacky and Gena. I smiled at them and waved them over. Matt and Zacky both gave me a hug and introduced me to their girls. Both Val and Gena hugged me.

“They tell us you’re a real bad ass”

I couldn’t help but blush.

“No….not really…just when I get pissed I guess”

Val laughed.

“Oh come on really. They said you sent THE Synyster Fucking Gates running”

I couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

“Okay maybe we exaggerated a tad bit on that.”

“He went storming off not running”

“And acted like a big baby, because there was FINALLY someone BESIDES us who won’t take his crap when he’s in a bad mood”

“I don’t take his crap”

Zacky looked at his girlfriend.

“Outside of our group hun. She’s a totally new person and the first thing Brian says in his royal bad moods of bad moods triggers her to get pissed off and tell him off. He freaked quite honestly”

“Mhmm”

The elevator doors opened again and I heard an excited voice yell out my name. Before I could react I was swept off the ground by Jimmy.

“Jimmy put her down!”

Jimmy set me gently onto the ground and turned to give his girlfriend a kiss.

“Thanks you saved me”

Jimmy’s girlfriend, Leana, gave me a hug.

“Anytime the way they were talking about you last night it was like you were already a part of the Avenged family”

I couldn’t help but smile.

“Only for three weeks”

Everyone laughed and Johnny came walking quickly up to us.

“You will not believe this…oh hey Alina…Brians refusing to fucking come down!”

“WHAT THE FUCKING HELL!!!!!!”

Everyone looked over at me. I’m sorry but that just pissed me off. We had to get to our restaurant and eat soon. They had a photo-shoot this afternoon and concert tonight.

Jimmy put a hand on my shoulder and looked at Johnny.

“Is he having a bad hair day?”

“NO he said he doesn’t want to deal with Alina here today. I told him she was part of our visit here and he said he’d fucking leave”

What the hell if wrong with this guy!?

I’m sorry but this wasn’t going to happen.

“NOT ON MY WATCH!!!!”

I strode toward the elevator pulling an envelope of room keys out of my purse and looked through them until I found Johnny and Brian’s room key. I strode into the elevator and up to their room. I honestly didn’t care at the moment what happened. I was told to get the guys where they needed to be when they needed to be there. I wasn’t going to defer from that because one of them decided to be a big bad rock star and be all moody and shit.

I reached his room and using the room key I was given waltzed right on in not even bothering to knock. That’s how much I wasn’t going to fail this job.

I walked in and looked around finding Brian lounging on his bed in only his jeans watching TV.

I admit seeing him shirtless made my heart start beating a thousand beats per minute and the
butterflies to multiply. But I had to shake those thoughts out of my head.

I had a job to do.

I stormed into his room a glare on my face and Brian immediately jumped up and grabbed for a shirt.

“WHAT THE FUCKING HELL GATES!!!!”
