Maybe Love is Fair Sometimes

~One week later~

"Ashley!" I hear Jake yell
I turn around and look at him running after me.
"Yes Jake?"
"This place in confusing, the instruments and the rest of the guys are on the other side of the stage."
I look around and see no sign of the guys over here. I nod at Jake and we head to the other side of the stage. We have a show but we don't have a signing for some reason. Which sucks because I really want to meet more fans. Something about our next set being forever away so we have to get going as soon as possible and right after the show. I'm knocked out of my thoughts by someone poking my ribs. I look over to see my beautiful boyfriend smiling at me while poking me.
"May I help you?" I question
Jake has walked over to Jinxx and CC is on the floor tapping out In the End on the cement floor.
"You just seemed a bit spaced out so I thought I'd bring you back to reality." Andy explains.
I walk over to grab my bass, I decided I'd go with my war paint bass tonight. I walk back over to Andy with it in my hand and kiss him quickly.
"Come on, lets get this show on the road." Jinxx states as we listen to the army chant our name.
As their chant of "Black Veil Brides." gets louder the smile on all five of our faces gets larger.
To start off like we always do CC runs out first drum sticks in the air, after a good three seconds Jake goes out to the stage followed by Jinxx and then it's to me. I smile pecking Andy one last time before running out to the crowd with my bass on display and I can hear Andy soon follow out after me.
"You guys ready for a fucking awesome show tonight Pennsylvania?" Andy yells into the mic as soon as he gets to it.
The bar is filled with screams and clapping in response. With a huge smile on his face Andy says,
"Okay, in that case let's get this started! Our first song, we thought we'd go back in time. Some of you may know this song, some of you may not, this is Hello My Hate!"
With that said we all start to play, coming in when it's our turn.

I don't wanna be!

Hello my love, well good riddance and farewell to you.
This marks the day we met on your terms.
Hello my hate, well this marks the day I killed you.
So cuddle, make your bed, we broke the ice... your only dead and...

I don't wanna be!
Another dead-weight victim of love tragedy and
I don't wanna be!
Another "look like James Dean" punk trippin' sanity and
I don't wanna be!
Another straight edge poser preachin'
Let's be smoke free!
Cause all I wanna be!
Is another "who cares" "shot dead" kid, I'm going down, down, down!

I am your hate, you are my love, I am your lust, you are my lovedrug...
The one that cures me.
Hello my hate, well this marks the day I killed you.
So rest in peace, you made your bed... quit haunting me your only dead!
I don't wanna be!
Another dead-weight victim of love tragedy and
I don't wanna be!
Another "look like James Dean" punk trippin' sanity and
I don't wanna be!
Another straight edge poser preachin'
Let's be smoke free!
Cause all I wanna be!
Is another "who cares" "shot dead" kid, I'm goin down, down, down!

I don't wanna be!
Another dead-weight victim of love tragedy and
I don't wanna be!
Another "look like James Dean" punk trippin' sanity and
I don't wanna be!
Another straight edge poser preachin'
Let's be smoke free!

Shocking me a bit a good amount of the crowd knew the words and sung along with Andy. I guess we have more fans that have been around since the beginning than I thought. With that thought I couldn't help but smile, to think through all the bumpy roads and different band members, a lot of people stayed with us, supported us and stayed loyal with following or just listening, helping up reach our dreams.

~End of show~

I'm on my way back to the bus alone. Andy went off to the bus a bit ago to smoke before we left and the guys went to do what the guys do. Jinxx kinda zones out, nobody really knows what the man does after shows,he goes missing then is the last guy out to the bus. Just then someone runs up behind me and yells,
"Purdy!"
I turn to see CC red faced and he looks pretty angered.
"Yeah CC?"
"That bitch, she's fucking with Andy!"
My eyes widen and I start to run after CC to where ever Andy is. I know who he's talking about, Kina. The one who poisoned Andy, she tried tearing us apart. I follow CC to the back of the bar where I now see Andy in the shadow of the building and Kina in her short short neon pink dress and high heels to match. Andy has his face up the night sky with a smirk on his lips, as if she wasn't even talking to him. That's my boy. I walk over and say,
"Hey! What are you going on about?"
Andy looks at me and smiles slightly while Kinda shoots me daggers. Bitch.
"I'm just telling him myself why I tried to get him gone.Knowing you, you probably didn't tell him, trying to protect him." She spits
"Why would I tell him lies?" I question
"Him being a faggot, a worthless, talentless faggot who took my fuck buddy away from me, he fucked with your head Ashley. I'm not lying Andy!"
"I'm not yours Kina, we have a past yeah but that's the past. Move on and grow up like I've told you before."
I walk over to Andy and wrap my arm around his waist as he smiles down at me. Looking back at Kina I continue,
"Kina, I love Andy get used to it because I never will not love him. I do hope the best for you, being the bigger person in this but Kina you say something like that or hurt my boyfriend ever again, or even think about it, you'll regret it."
"I don't care what you think about me Kina, like I've said ten times tonight. I don't care what you think of my singing, my lyrics, my worth, or of my sexuality." Andy adds calmly
With anger written all over Kina's face she stomps away the best she can in those shoes and Andy turns and smiles at me. I wrap my other arm around his waist like my other one and smile up at him and mumble,
"Sorry about her babe."
He leans down slightly and kisses me, keeping his forehead on mine putting his arms loosely around my neck he says,
"Aw, it's not a problem Outlaw. I'm used to people not liking me, have you forgotten who I am? It's not your fault either, just saying."
I peck him on the nose and laugh.
"Oh, trust me I haven't forgotten who you are babe."
