In The Name Of

~Matt's P.O.V Con~

The plane ride seemed so much longer then it really was. Brian and Zacky were both passed out, and I was enjoying my self watching Jimmy and Johnny play a few games of speed. We really needed to land so we could see our loved ones; and so I could put my plan into action. But very soon the pilot came on and told us that we landed, I swear Jimmy almost through the cards in the air.

“God damn Jimmy a little excited are we?” I asked him with a smile. Jimmy only smirked at me and continued to look out the window until it was time to get off the plane. Johnny started to laugh looking out the window.

“God damn Jimmy, Kat is huge now!” Johnny told him, then the next thing I know I hear is Johnny saying ow and Jimmy saying that he better not ever hear the words 'Kat is fat' come out of his mouth again. He then told Johnny that Kat will never be fat, she will always be pleasantly plump. I couldn't help but laugh as we all got off the plane, and once the girls were in sight I was in charge of the bags. I heard Kat say that she was so glad that everyone was home, she wrapped her arms around Jimmy in a what looked like a much needed hug. Brian and Zacky were in the same situation, so that just left Johnny and I.

“Well Matt I guess this means that you and I are the only single members of Avenged anymore,” Johnny patted my back and smiled.

“Don't worry Johnny, there are plenty of fish in the sea, you'll find one”

“But what about you?”

All I could so was smile at him, none of the guys knew that I was going to see if I could get Loren back in my life, but I think they got the hint. Casey broke the kiss that she was sharing with Brian and looked at me.

“I don't know what your still standing around for Matt, Loren is with Adrianne in room 125.” She told me with a smile. I think Casey already new my plan and was trying everything in her power to make it work; and all I can do is pray that it will work. I said good bye to the girls and took my bag up then hailing a taxi, instructing the driver to take me to the hospital. So many things were running through my head at one time, like what if Loren didn't want to see me? But I had to push all of those thought out of my head once I stepped foot in that hospital. Making my way down the hall I saw little kids with breathing tubes and it killed me; I was hoping that Adrianne wasn't to sick. But then I made it to Adrianne's room and smiled softly as I saw her playing with her toys, and watching her cartoons every once in a while.

Loren was asleep so she didn't notice that I was standing in the door way, but little Adrianne did and her smile grew so big.

“Daddy?” She asked me softly. I only nodded and walked over to the bed where she was sitting and took her hand in mine.

“Are you being a good girl for your mommy and the doctors?” I asked her softly not wanting to wake Loren up, who was sound asleep in the bed behind me. She told me yep, loud and clear I had to hush her and point to her mommy. “Mommy is sleeping got to be quiet,”

“Mama seepin,” she told me softly. I nodded. “Yes that's why you have to be quiet,” I told her. She coughed a few times and then showed me her teddy bear. “Thats a very nice teddy bear Rae,” I told her softly. I then turned and saw that Loren was starting to wake up, my heart I swear was going a mile a minute I was nervous I didn't know how she would react when she saw me. She stirred a few more time and then her eyes fluttered open, she was looking right at me but I don't think that it registered in her head that I was standing there yet. Rubbing her eyes and then sat up and looked straight at me, I couldn't move I was so nervous.

“Loren?” I whispered.

“What...?” She mumbled. I smiled and walked over to her and took a seat, taking her hand in mine and looked at her; she was adorable when she just woke up. I guess she finally noticed that I wasn't just a figment of her imagination because she looked at my hand and then quickly looked at me. The smile faded from my face and I looked at Adrianne.

“When you told me that she was sick I came home,” I told her honestly. She shock her head and I noticed that she was biting her lip and when ever she bit her lip that meant that she was trying not to cry, or she was upset.

“I didn't want you to leave the tour Matt...I just wanted to tell you what was going on,” she told me softly. I then stood up and knelled in front of her taking her hand in mine once more looking in her eyes, was going to tell her everything that I could.

“Loren you need to understand something; I will not just stay on tour when you call me in tears and say that your daughter is sick. Sure the tour is important, but I made you a promise that I will be there for you know matter what.” I told her. “And I attend to keep that promise,” I made sure that she was looking me in the eye. “Do you understand me? I promised you that I will make sure that you are safe, and if you still have the ring I gave you I attend to keep that promise as well,” Loren looked at me and I saw that there were tears in her eyes, she closed her eyes tight trying to stop the tears from falling but that didn't work. They flowed down her cheeks and a wiped them away and kissed her cheeks softly, I was amazed that she didn't pull away.

“I never...meant for any of this to happen Matt I swear to god,” She sniffled wrapping her arms around me. She buried her face in my neck and I wrapped my arm around her and held her close; kissing the top of her head I missed her I missed this. “I want thing to go back to the way they were...before the tour...I want this back,” she told me softly.

“It can go back to that Loren...I promise it can,” with that said I pulled away from her hug and took her chin in my hand and kissed her softly. She kissed me back wrapping her arms around my neck once more making the kiss more intense; we couldn't help but laugh as we hear Adrianne say that it was icky. I touched the soft skin of Loren's face and kissed her once more; I whispered that I loved her, she returned the words and the kiss.

“I've got you for now and forever Loren Taylor,”I whispered pressing my head against hers.

“Good...”She spoke softly. In my mind I can tell you honestly I was smiling bigger then ever before, my plan worked, she's back in my life and I won't let her go this time. I won't do anything to jeopardize this love that I have for her.

“Well...I hope I wasn't interrupting anything,” The doctor said with a smile. Loren laughed and wiped the tear streaks from her eyes and smiled softly.
