You're No Longer Alone (Adopted By Black Veil Brides)

Truth And Tears

Jinxx's POV

We're getting out of this place as soon as we physically can. Those people found us again, Spencer said that he'll keep them occupied. We're all on the bus driving to pick up Lonny, Jake, and Shadow from Joe's house. This tour has been very eventful.

We pulled up to a house, I'm assuming it's Joe's house. I text Jake that we're here. I see the door open and 3 people come out. Right now Shadow still has his casts on, once we get back home they'll be taken off, and he'll start physical therapy. Once everyone was on the bus we started moving, finally we can go back home and relax. On the way home everyone was silent, the only thing we could hear to break the silence is music playing quietly.

Shadow's POV

Everyone was acting very strange. No one was talking at all. It's like they all just went through something traumatizing. From what I understand is I got dropped off at Spencer's because the guys had to do something. They then all found out that Lonny was sick with something, Jake started feeling bad, so they all stayed in a hotel to avoid getting one another sick. Spencer then had something to do and left me at Joes house.

That's all that happened, unless the guys are hideing things from me again, it's not the first time. "Sooo, did you guys get that thing done? " I asked them breaking the silence. From where I was sitting I could see everyone.

Lonny looked at Andy, I could tell Lonny was confused. "Wha-" Lonny started to say but Andy cut him off "yeah we got it done" he said. "Did you ever find out what sickness you two had" I said facing Jake and Lonny. They looked at each other "feaver" "cold" they both said at the same time.

They looked at each other again like they did something wrong. "Okay, I know you guys are hideing something from me, I don't know what it is or why you're trying to hide it, but please tell me, I'm apart of this family also" I said without thinking out my words first. "Sorry" I said. "No don't apologize, you're right, you're apart of this family and you deserve to know everything that we've been keeping from you" Andy said he was looking up and then he looked down at his hands.

He was fidgeting with his hands a lot. He was clearly nervous. "You really don't have to tell me anything. I wasn't thinking when I said that you needed to. " I told him. He sighed "No you need to know" he said. "Pick a nummber 1 or 2" CC said. "Hmm, I'll pick 2" I said. "Okay, while Andy finds away to tell you #1 I'll tell you #2" CC said.

I nodded my head telling him to continue. "Jake and Lonny weren't actually sick, umm... Lonny actually got um,.. He kinda got, kidnapped" CC said. "What?!?! And you didn't bother telling me, I could've helped you guys. " I said. "That's the reason we didn't tell you, it wasn't just Lonny that got kidnapped though... We all did... " he said continuing. "Was it some crazed fan, like why did they want you guys? " I asked him.

CC looked around to try to get someone to answer it. Lonny made eye contact with him. "Umm yeah, that was because... Umm, they wanted to get ahold of... You" Lonny said. "You mean you guys went through all of that because of... Me? " I said.

I knew I was a complete burden to them. There are plenty of people who wish to be me, but for some reason I was the one they picked. They missed some of their tour because of me, some of their fans couldn't see them because of me, they couldn't see some of their fans once again because of me. "I'll be back" I said, trying to hold in my tears, I ran to my bunk that I haven't used this whole tour and closed the curtains to it.

Jake's POV

I knew it wasn't a good idea to tell him anything about this. He's now probably blameing himself. "I'll be right back" Andy said walking twords the bathroom. "Did I do something wrong? " Lonny asked. "No you didn't do anything wrong, you told him the truth, that's what he wanted, he just wanted the truth" Jinxx said to Lonny. "Hey, I'm going to lie down" CC said going to the bunks. "Okay" I said.

Well now there's only 3 of us here. Jinxx went back on to his phone, Lonny just stared off into space. You know, I really need to check in on everyone, after the events of the last few days, I really need to.

I first walk over to Jinxx. "Hey, how are you doing after what's happened" I asked him. He shrugged his shoulders, "as good as I can be after going through that, but also better then others are doing" he said. "That's fair" I told him, he nodded and continued doing whatever he was doing in his phone.

I walked over to where Lonny was sitting. "Lonny? " I asked him, I knew doing that I wouldn't alert him. He just kept staring into space. I don't think he could hear me. "Lonny" I said again. He still just sat there. You know what, I'll come back to check on him later.

Shadow clearly doesn't want to be bothered, Andy is still in the bathroom. I don't know if CC wants to talk right now, I could at least try. I walked twords the bunks. I went to CC's buck all the way in the back of the bus. His curtain was closed. I knocked on the wood beside his bed. "Go away, I don't want to talk" he said. It sounded like he was crying. Wow, all the years I've known CC, he's acted like this only a few times, that I at least know of. "CC? " I said. "Didn't you hear me Jake, I said leave me alone" he said. Okay, I'll leave him be then.

I went back to the kitchen and sat next to Jinxx. "So how did the check in's go? " he asked me. "I only really got a response from you" I told him. He looked confused, "what about CC, he usually likes talking about a bunch of things" Jinxx said. "Nope, only response I got was him telling me to go away" I told him.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Lonny get up and go twords the bunks. So now it's only me and Jinxx in here. "I'm going to check on Andy, I'm worried" I told Jinxx. "Okay, please tell me how it goes, I think I'm going to try and check in on Shadow" Jinxx said. We both got up, he went twords the bunks and I went twords the bathroom.

I knocked on the door "hey, Andy it me" I said so he knew who it was. I heard the door unlock, I opened it and went in, I re locked the door behind me. I was met with a red faced Andy. "How do people do it? " he asked. "Do what? " I asked him. "How can people be such good parents, I've been trying, and I keep failing at being a good enough parent to him. I thought not telling him certain things would keep him from hurting, but instead all I've been doing is hurting him" Andy said. "You've been doing the right thing, you are a great parent. I know that you're hiding things to keep him safe, but you can't keep him in the dark forever" I told him. "You're right Jake, what have I ever done to deserve people who are this caring" he said. "Why don't you get cleaned up while I make something for us to eat" I said. "That sounds great, thank you" he said.

I unlocked the door and walked out of the bathroom. Jinxx was already back. "So, how'd it go? " I asked him. "He didn't say a word" Jinxx said "how did things with Andy go? " he asked. "They went good, he's coming out here soon" I said.
