Love Is Love No Matter the Conditions

Hello again :) I'm going to do the fans speaking like this *omg* it's just easier that way and i'm feeling rather lazy today. Thanks :)

As I opened the door I was 'greeted' by about fifty kids that looked mostly my age but some were older. I was stuck on the bottom step unable to move until I felt a hand on my lower back pushing me forward slightly. I went forward but as soon as Syn was out of the bus I shrunk back against the side of the bus trying to get away from the fans that were coming towards me with camera's and sharpie's.

"Hey guys, how about we do signing first then pictures yeah? But you've got to get in some form of order." Syn said loudly getting the attention of the crowd, they sprung into movement and got in some form of an organised crowd. To my suprise they wanted my signature aswell and asked some questions like *Are you and Syn together?* which seemed to be the most popular and I answered the same everytime "We're just friends" When I said it however they all had the same reaction, *Ahh ok* with a coy smile, a quick look at both of us and then they went to wait for a picture. Me and Syn stood close together until all the fans had all had somthing signed. Then they got in a line and waited for pictures. The first girl came to us and I offered to take the picture, I took the camera and told them to smile. When i'd taken the picture she said to the girl behind her in the queue *Will you take this one? I want one with Syn and Lucy* I looked at her in shock and she stood in the middle as me and Syn put our arms over her shoulders and smiled. The next twenty odd fans just wanted a picture with Syn so I took the camera's and began taking pictures for the fans until Larry appeared and took the photographer job off me. I smiled gratefully and saw the first girl was waiting by the front of the bus looking at the pictures so I went to talk to her. I said good bye to the other fans and mouthed a 'i'm just going over there one second' He looked to where I was pointing and mouthed back 'ok'. I walked over and she was looking through the pictures on her camera so she didn't notice me.

"What's your name" I said with a smile, she looked up and gave me a shocked look and said,

"Emily" I replied,

"That's a really pretty name." She smiled and looked down. "How did you know my name earlier?" She looked embarrased and said,

"I was looking through 'tumblr' this morning and there were pictures of you everywhere being tagged as Syn Gates new girlfriend and someone had found your twitter and I saw your name on it." I slowly digested this and said,

"Oh right, thanks. I'm not really Syn's girlfriend mind" I smiled at her and she looked up like a bunny seeing the headlights of a car and said,

"Really? You two seem good for each-other" She said looking at me waiting for a reaction. I smiled and looked over to him, he was still taking pictures with the fans, smiling and laughing.

"I do really like him, so are you going to the show tonight?" She lit up when I said this and replied,

"Yes! I was in the queue but then I heard people shouting that you guys were here and I ran" She was giggling, it was infectious so I couldn't help laughing with her.

I felt a hand take mine and our fingers were laced together so I knew who it was before I turned around.

"Did you enjoy your first fan encounter?" He said looking down at me, he was about 8" taller than me so he had to really.

"Yeah but I don't know why they wanted my picture and autograph though." A little voice started talking and I realised it was Emily and she said,

"It's because they think you're with Synyster Gates." I turned to her and said,

"Yeah, but it's crazy. I'm not famous or anything. I'm just his" I air quoted "girlfriend." He laughed and said,

"In a fans eyes that makes you famous" He smiled and Emily agreed in laughter. He continued,

"Shouldn't we be going though?" I remembered the shopping we needed to do and said 'goodbye' to Emily and gave her a hug and so did Syn.

We walked away still holding hands and we began walking into the central London. I just walked assuming he had somewhere he wanted to go and I found that it was a Starbucks. We walked in and got in the queue and he asked me what I wanted,

"I'll have a tea please" He ordered a latte for himself and my tea and quickly paid and as we got out he said,

"So, where do you want to go?", I thought about what I needed to get but I didn't want to spend too much and decided Primark was my best option for underwear. We walked in and a few people recognised him and rushed over. A few autographs later we went upstairs, he realised where I was heading to and said,

"If you don't mind i'll wait here." I smiled at him and went off. About ten minutes later I'd found a weeks worth of knickers that I liked and another bra. I found a basket so I wouldn't have to carry them and walked back to Syn.

"Is that all?" He said looking curious at my lack of clothing.

"It's underwear and we need to find another shop for clothes. I refuse to wear most of the clothing in here." I said, pulling him over to the checkout and he gave me two twenty pound notes and said,

"It's going to look pretty strange if I buy them no?" I smiled at him and went to pay. I came back and we made our way to the entrance but when we got there we found a few paparazzi being held away from the shop by security guards. He groaned and I instantly grabbed his hand and squished myself into his side. He leant down to whisper in my ear,

"I've got you, just keep walking. We'll go to this awesome rocky gothy clothing store a few streets away. When we get out of the shop turn right and walk with me. Ok?" He looked into my eyes and I simply nodded wanting to get as far away from this shop as was possilbe. He held my hand even tighter and we started almost speedwalking out of the shop. The flashed from the camera's were almost blinding but I held on to Syn's hand and walked with him. They followed us asking random questions until we got to Blue Banana, thank god. It was possibly my favourite shop next to HMV, half my wardrobe at home had come from this shop. We got in and the staff closed the door behind us stopping paparazzi getting in. The woman who'd closed the door got back behind the counter and when the people in there had finished she locked the door, turned and smiled at us. I was scared and looked at Syn but he was smiling with the woman.

"So, this is the new girlfriend i've been hearing about all morning?" She said, looking at me,

"Well, she's not my girlfriend." He paused and added "yet" I turned to him and playfully smacked his chest and said,

"I love how you assume i'd go out with you" I said laughing. He smiled back at me and said,

"Right. Off you go, find some clothes." He started talking to the staff about the show and I went off in search of clothes. It was bigger than the one back home but laid out in the same way. I soon found clothes, two pairs of jeans, one black, one purple. A hoodie with a zipper and a few skeleanimals shirts. V-necked of course. I also picked up a pair of cheap blue banana brand converse. I brought my clothes to the till and Syn looked at them and said,

"By the way, we have a whole day off here tomorrow and I plan on taking you out to dinner in the evening." Hearing this I realised I needed something to wear for that, I went and found a rack of dress's. I didn't wear them often but I was essentially going on a date with Synyster Gates, this was not the time for jeans and a t-shirt. I searched throught the rack for something girly but not too girly, I found the perfect one. It was a halterneck, the main colour was black but there were white bows all over it, it came to mid-thigh and there was about an inch of lace trim at the bottom. I wasn't girly at all but I loved the dress, I picked it up with a smile on face and walked back but on the way up the shop I noticed a pair of kitten heels that went with the dress, I got to the till and put the dress and heels on top of the other clothes. I looked at my phone and saw two missed calls and also found that it was on silent. Both calls were from my mum so I rung her back.

"Hey mother! Sorry I put my phone on silent last night when I went to bed and forgot about it"

"Hello child, yeah when you didn't answer I spoke to Aaron he told me you were with Syn." Bugger

"Oh ok"

"How was the fan encounter then?" Ok, maybe he hadn't told her everything. I was going to tell her of course but I didn't want her to find out from someone else.

"Bloody terrifying. They are crazy!" I felt a arm go round my waist and started pulling me gently towards the door, I shouted a goodbye over my shoulder to the staff and we began walking back towards starbucks while I continued talking to my mum.

"Well, if you're close to Synyster Gates they're going to want to know you sweetie" I grinned to myself and replied,

"Well I wouldn't say we're close" To this he raised an eyebrow at me so I added "But he seems lovely" He grinned and took my hand as we walked into starbucks again. He ordered the same as he did this morning.

"Good, the boys are really enjoying themselves aren't they. Apparently I interrupted their game of COD when I phoned, Aaron wasn't amused"

"No he wouldn't be, Matt's obsessed too so their pretty much on it all the time. It's really sad" We both giggled and I found that as I hadn't paid attention to where we were walking we were in Convent Garden. It was my favourite place in London, possibly England. We came past the market and came out underneath the rooftop bar opposite the theater and we sat down on a curb. He put the bags next to his legs, took my hands in his and put them on his legs. He looked at me and just looked for a few moments.

"Hey mum, can I ring you later? I looked back at Syn waiting for her to answer.

"Yeah, I'm in work anyway. Ring me later" I hung up quickly waiting for him to start speaking. He just kept looking until finally he said,

"I really like you. I can't explain it but in the course of just under twenty four hours I've essentially fallen in love with you." Well I most certainly wasn't expecting that
