Love Is Love No Matter the Conditions

Thanks to BVBxMCRxA7XxTH foREVer on fanfiction, she reviews every chapter and I owe her lots of virtual cookies :D Plus I posted a picture of Aaron, Ben and Connor up on Tumblr so check it out if you want :) I put the link on the last chapter.

I kept my hood up and put my hands in the pockets of my hoodie as I went down into the gap between the stage and barrier, it wouldn't have taken me long except security wouldn't let me in at first so I had to find a pass and then they let me in. I stood by the end of the barrier looking down it to see Emily, I got to searching a quarter of it when they were introducing Girl I Know and Syn said,

"This goes out to that girl down there trying not to get noticed with her hood up." I rolled my eyes and when I looked up at him he was pointing at me with a stupid grin on his face. I settled for giving him a two-fingered salute, he chuckled but they started playing the song anyway, I walked slowly along the barrier trying to see her but I walked the length and didn't see her so I began walking back and on the way back directly infront of Syn she was pushing her way through the crowd. I stopped as she got through and began clinging to the barrier, I high-fived her and stood by her on the otherside of the barrier for the next five or six songs. It was about their seventh or eighth song by now and the guy next to Emily was being a total arse, he kept pushing and jumping around, she kept clinging onto the barrier and smiling, singing her little heart out so I kept an eye but watched the guys aswell. They started playing Walk and the crowd went nuts, especially that guy, he pushed Emily so hard she nearly fell over so she elbowed him back then he did something that I seriously didn't expect. He stopped, turned to face her and punched her in the cheek, I stopped and looked at him and he carried on singing. Matt stopped the guys and said,

"Hey! Guys stop, some ass-hole just punched a girl! Get security to get her out of there and get him the fuck out!" The crowd booed and four security guys came over and one started pulling Emily out who was half concussed and the other three were trying to get the guy. I stood back and let them pull her out and they got him over and I stormed over and went to punch him back. The crowd started screaming now and I got so close I'd raised my arm but I felt a hand grab my raised one and another wrap around my middle and pull me back. I struggled against them because they were taking him out through the emergency exit and I really wanted to knock him out but the arms kept me back, they finally got him out and I pulled my arm away from whoever had it and shoved them away, I turned round to see who had been holding me back and it was Syn so I glared at him. He looked really worried and leant down so he could say something in my ear,

"Sweetheart he's not worth it, security'll do it for you. Go look after Emily, we've only got a few more songs." I looked behind him and Jason and Matt B had one arm around her each and were pulling her backstage so I looked back up and he pulled me into a hug, I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly before pulling away and following Jason and Matt while he climbed back on stage.

"Alright now that assholes gone we can carry on!" Matt said and the crowd answered with a huge roar, I could hear Syn playing a riff and they played Dancing Dead, Jason and Matt B had taken Emily to the dressing room and Matt had gone to find some towels to clean her up, Jason sat her down on the sofa and was talking to her,

"You alright darling?" She just nodded and was holding her face so we couldn't see the damage so I went over and shushed him out of the way, I sat next to her and pulled her into a hug because I could see she was in a lot of pain. Matt came in with a damp tea-towel, loads of paper towels and a first aid kit, he handed them to me and rubbed her shoulder gently.

"You ok to sort her out Luc? We've got to be ready to pack everything away soon."

"Yeah we'll be fine." I smiled up at him and they hugged Emily once more then went to wait for the guys to finish. She had her eyes shut really tight and was still covering her cheek so I tried to pry her hands away and she reluctantly took her hand away. That ass had split the skin on her cheekbone, it wasn't deep but was bleeding a lot, her top was covered in blood. I put the first aid stuff down and got a bottle of pepsi and she opened it and winced as she opened her mouth to drink some. I watched her as she was doing it and could see she was trying to put on a brave face, when she was finished I took her chin in my hand and inspected the cut and began dabbing gently with the damp tea-towel to try and get rid of the blood.

"You don't have to be brave for me mind." She smiled but still looked unconvinced so I added,
"Brian cried infront of me earlier, no-ones brave all the time." She looked really shocked but simply said,

"This really fucking hurts." I chuckled and continued dabbing at it gently to get rid of the blood, it took a few minutes and lots of 'owws'. Then all the blood was gone so I took some steristrips out of the box and gently put them across her cheekbone pulling the cut closed. While I was doing it she text her parents and told them to come pick her up and they quickly replied so I told her to get them to park by the tourbus.

"All done." I said and we both smiled and I went to wash my hands, when I was done I looked at her and her top was covered in blood so I said,

"You can't go home like that, come on. You look about my size I'll give you a shirt to wear." she sat up and said,

"Don't worry it's fine!" I smiled and shook my head, I grabbed her hand and pulled her out to the bus. We started walking out to the stage door but Jason caught us before we got out and checking Emily's cheek before hugging her and saying goodbye. I opened the door slowly just in case there was fans out there but no-one was there so I motioned for her to follow me and we went onto the bus. I opened the door and went up but she waited hesitantly at the bottom as if she wasn't allowed to come in.

"Come on" She slowly walked up and stood in awe looking around the bus and sat down gently and kept looking around. I watched her with a smile on my face as she took in all of the bus until she looked at me and saw me watching and looked embarrased. I went down the other end to find my bag and she slowly followed as I started digging around for a decent t-shirt and settled on one of the skeleanimals v-necks that Syn had bought me in London and handed it to her. She didn't even look at it, she just took it and grinned and I pointed the bathroom out so she could get changed. When she had gone in I went down to the counter the kettle was on and let it boil, as I was putting the cups ready she came out and I saw the top fit her and asked,

"Tea or coffee?"

"Tea please, loads of milk no sugar please." She sat down and I smiled because I have my tea exactly the same, I made it and sat down on my corner putting my legs up and sighed as I drunk some of my tea.

"So, what's it like to live with Avenged?" She asked and relaxed on the sofa,

"Well..." I told her the what happened that morning with Jason and Matt and she burst into laughter, it was so infectious I started too and we laughed for a while and when we both stopped I added,

"So yeah, it's like that pretty much with Matt almost constantly playing COD, Zacky picking on Johnny and them walking in on me and Syn when we're kissing." She smiled and said,

"Well you two are quite loud." My mouth fell open as I realised she was with the fans earlier and Larry told us they could hear us in the next room. I facepalmed myself and she giggled a little. I could hear fans gathering outside and knew the guys wouldn't be long so I got five beers ready, and the bus door flew open and they ran up the stairs, out of the corner of my eye I saw Zacky trip Johnny up to get infront of him and Johnny went facefirst into the floor and landed with a thud. The door slammed shut and the fans were still shouting for them, the guys were all standing by the sofa's now but Johnny was still facedown so I went over and put my hand on his shoulder and said,

"Johnny? You alright sweetie?" He grunted and pushed himself up and when I looked him in the eyes he was barely concious and Zack and Syn started laughing so I turned and glared at them then when Johnny had sat up I hugged him really tight, he was still groggy but he wrapped his arms around me and I heard Syn say,

"Christ, get your paws off my woman." I turned and saw the rest had sat down and were fussing over Emily but Syn was standing up glaring down at us so I poked my tounge out at him, stood up and walked past to hand out the beers grabbing an extra two from the fridge. Syn had sat down in our seat but was watching me so I gave Johnny his first then handed the rest out leaving him till last on purpose. Matt had sat next to Emily and said,

"Who cleaned you up? I was standing by the counter and I turned round and grinned at him making it obvious I did it and he smiled and said,

"I saw you try to punch that ass, it would have been a good one if Gates hadn't stopped you." I smirked at him and a pair of hands grabbed my hips and pulled me around the counter onto the sofa and onto someones lap. I wriggled around a little because I knew it was probably Syn but I wasn't sure and hadn't looked at their hands. The arms wrapped around my waist while I continued struggling and the guys and Emily were watching me by now with smirks on their faces. I stopped wriggling, looked at the others and realised it was Syn who was holding me down so I shifted so I was sitting inbetween his legs with his arms wrapped around me and he put a leg up so I layed one hand on it and reached up behind his head, grabbed a tuft of his hair at the nape of his neck and pulled him down so I could whisper,

"I am not your woman." I bit his earlobe roughly then let go of his hair and put my arm over his that was around me and I could feel him get a bit excited and smirked to myself as he leant down to whisper again.

"You love it when I call you my woman." One of his arms left my waist to go on the side of my thigh curling his fingers underneath it then bringing them back to his palm and kept repeating it. I shook my head a little but he kept doing it obviously knowing it was really distracting but I tried to ignore him and said to Emily,

"This is what it's like." We both chuckled and the guys all looked really confused and started looking around eachother but we both just shrugged and they carried on the conversation. A few minutes later her phone signalled a text and she went to read it and her face dropped and she said,

"Mums outside." I got up and went over to her and gave her a huge hug, I stood back and everyone else gave her a hug then I walked to the stairs. I watched her take one last long look around the bus then come and stand with me, I linked my arm with hers because I was guessing that there were still fans outside and we went down. I opened the door slowly and found that there was no-one out there except a car that I assumed was Emily's mum and pulled her out, we walked over to the car and a woman that looked like a older version of Emily jumped out and ran over to hug her daughter. She pulled her into a rib-crushing hug before holding her at arms length and inspected her cheek.

"You alright honey?" She got out of her mums hold and said,

"Yeah mum I'm fine." Her mum smiled and looked over at me,

"Is this Synyster Gate's new girlfriend?" I looked over, shocked a little that her mum knew who he was and nodded so her mum added,

"You lucky thing! He's a very handsome guy." I half smiled and my mouth dropped open, Emily giggled a little and said,

"Mums a big fan of Avenged. I prefer Zacky but she's pretty much in love with Synyster Gates." I looked over and her mum just shrugged, her expression so blasé it made me chuckle. There was a little awkward silence then I could see Emily looked a little gutted that she had to leave so I said,

"Have you got skype?" She looked up quickly and nodded looking excited so I said,

"Write down your name on it and I'll add you so I can speak to you again when we get to California." I smiled at her and she jumped up and down a little and pulled a sharpie out of her pocket. I had no paper or anything so I held out my arm and pulled up my sleeve, she walked forward and began writing on my arm, it took maybe thirty seconds and when she was done I held my arm out for it to dry then hugged her really tightly, I pulled away and to my suprise her mum pulled me into a hug too and whispered,

"Thanks for looking after her." I smiled and pulled away to see her smile too and I watched them get in the car with my hands in my jacket pocket and waved quickly as they pulled away. I put both hands back in my pockets and heard the bus door open behind me and turned round in time to see Syn leaning half his body out of the bus,

"Come on woman, we've got to leave!" I raised my eyebrow at him, I doubt he could see it that far away but I heard him chuckle and I just turned round with my back to him and crossed my arms ignoring him. It went silent for a moment and the next thing I knew he was infront of me and had picked me up and slung me over his shoulder just holding me with one arm and letting the other swing as he walked back. I stayed silent as we got back in the bus and he put me down roughly on the corner of the sofa and climbed on top of me, pushing my hair out of my eyes and trying to kiss me. I put my hands on his shoulder and pushed him back checking if the others were there but we were alone and he smirked as I looked back and he said,

"They're in their bunks." I smirked back at him and kissed him back wrapping my arms around his neck and Zack shouted,

"They can still hear you!" He pulled away before cursing under his breath and rolling his eyes while I giggled. He leaned right down and nibbled my earlobe gently before whispering,

"We'll just have to be quiet then." I blushed while he started kissing my neck and I tried to moan quietly as he started to nibble at the soft skin on my neck, he traced a line from my cheek down my neck, over the side of my breast and down my ribs to my right hip with his fingertips then gripped my hip bone tight, pushed me down so I was lying down flat, he put one knee either side of my thighs and leaned some of his weight on me using the other hand on the back of the sofa to take the rest. We kissed for a while with a few moans here and there until I could feel his hand go from my hip to the front of his jeans and fiddle with the button, I knew he was excited, I'd felt him getting harder fast but I was not doing anything on a bus so I pulled away from his kiss and looked him in the eye,

"You're a whore. Do you know that?" He stopped trying to undo the button, rested his hand on my stomach and met my eyes with a smirk.

"Woman, don't call me a whore." I smirked back and said,

"Whore."

"Woman." I knew we could carry on for ages but Zacky shouted out again,

"Syn, you are a whore and Lucy you can't deny you're a woman now go to sleep!" We both chuckled as we heard Zack turn over and grumble to himself in his bunk. Syn brought his hand back up to brush my hair out of my eyes again and kiss my forehead lightly before sitting up and holding out a hand to help me up. We sat watching eachother for a while until I got stood up to go get changed and I heard him follow until we got to the bunks, I picked up my pajama's from the night before and went into the bathroom, quickly got changed and climbed into the bunk with him. He wrapped his arm around my middle and pulled me so I was facing him, my eyes level with his neck and snuggled in enjoying the scent of lynx and just him. I soon fell asleep and woke up the next morning to find he had made me tea and gone out to get pastry's for everyone, the rest of the UK tour passed much the same as the last few days had. Get up earlyish to do press, hang out until soundcheck and a meet and greet. Me and Syn would find some time to have a heavy kissing session for a while before and after the show. I'd wish them all luck before they went on and watch side-stage with Jason, Matt B, Larry and the rest of the crew and greet Matt, Johnny, Zack, Arin with a hug and Syn with lots of hugs and kisses when they finished. Soon it got to the last day and we packed our bags that night and all got taxi's to the airport to take us to California. It was going home for them but for me it was the beginning of what I was sure would be a chaotic new life.
