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

Horrid Reactions

Shadow's POV

I drank a sip of the drink and fell in love with it. I clicked on Twitter again and started looking at the replies. A lot of them where nice. But as I scrolled farther down in the comments they started getting mean. I felt myself start tearing up because of what some of them said. I finished my drink and threw away the cup. I walked quickly back home.

Once I got there I went straight to my room and started crying. This is why Andy didn't want to tell them the truth. I heard someone coming close to my room so I burried my face into my pillow and acted like I was asleep. I then heard my door open. I then heard it close, they either left or they came in.

I felt the foot of my bed sink in, there's my answer, they're still here. I heard them sigh, "Shadow, I know you're awake" I heard Jinxx say. How did he know. "So what's up, I heard you crying" he said. I just kept my face burried in my pillow, I don't feel like talking at the moment. "Please tell me what's going on, please, I want to help you" he said. I don't feel like telling him, so I won't tell him. I'm not telling anyone what's happening.

I looked at him, and he was starring at the wall, probably waiting for an answer. "It's just stress" I lied. I did this so he won't keep bugging me for an answer. He hugged me. "I'm sorry for trying to force the answer out" he said. "It's okay" I told him. "Well I'll let you be" he said leaving my room. That was easy, I know I said I'll be more truthful, but it's hard, I don't want my problems to be put onto the guys.

Jinxx's POV

I woke up late this morning and Andy tweeted about the truth. I heard Shadow crying and I checked on him, I don't fully believe it was just stress, but I'm not going to force it out of him. I am now sitting on the couch. I grabbed my phone to check how people are reacting to the tweet. I went to Andy's page because that's where it was tweeted. I clicked the tweet. It looks like most people reacted really well.

I kept scrolling through the comments, the farther down I got the worse people where reacting. I myself can't take down those comments though, Andy on the other hand can. Best I can do is report them, but that doesn't mean they'll be taken down. Where is Andy though. I'll check his room. I got up and walked upstairs, I really hope Shadow doesn't see these comments. Wait, is this why he was crying, I think he might've seen some of these comments.

I knocked on Andy's door. "Come in" he said through the door. I opened it. I saw he was typeing something, "What's up Jinxx? " he asked. "Some of the comments on the tweet you made, they where horrible, I can't take them down, so I was hoping you could, hopefully before Shadow sees them. If he hasn't already" I told him, I said the last part quietly. He grabbed his phone, I watched his expression. I could tell when he got to the other comments, those people who said those things aren't are real fans.

His eyes got big from the shock of what people said. "I think I got them all" Andy said after a few minutes. "Thank you " I told him. "Thank you for telling me, I don't know what would happen if Shadow saw those" he said. I nodded. "Well I should probably get started on dinner" Andy said. "Okay" I said. We both walked out of his room and down stairs, he went to the kitchen and I went to the living room.

Lonny's POV

Well I just woke up, I should probably start heading home. I really should've taken a plane, driving sucks. I looked at the time and it was 10 am. 2 day drive back home, this should be fun, not really though.

I walked down the stairs. It looks like everyone is already awake. They where all talking "Hey, I'm going to head out, I have a 2 day drive ahead of me" I said. I'm not sure if anyone heard me though, "Or... you could stay for another day, we're going to be heading down to California for a last second festival, so you could come with us, we just found out this morning" Chris said. Well I know someone heard me.

I'm glad our manager doesn't do that, but baseically I didn't even have to drive all the way down here, oh well, If I went with them I wouldn't be bored, and I wouldn't have to drive. But what about my car. "What about my car? " I asked him. "We already have a plan for that, don't worry, sooo, is it a yes? " he asked. Some of the others looked at Chris confused, I'm guessing only Chris had a plan for that. "You know, why not, I won't have to drive" I said.

Artie looked happy that I said that. "Oh yeah, I never asked, what band are you guys in? " I asked. "Oh, it's called Motionless In White" he said. "I'll have to listen to some of your music, I've not heard you guys" I said.

I sat down on the couch, someone came and sat next to me, I think his name was Vinny. "So how did you meet CC" he asked. "I've known about him for a while, we became friends about a year ago, we met because I was the tour gutair player for Andy, something happened with their bands old bass player, so Andy invited me to join the band" I told him. "Oh that's cool" he said.

I looked at him "How did you meet CC? " I asked. "Oh, we met at a party, he had the right amount of crazy for me, and since then we just stayed in touch" he said. "Ooh fun" I said. "Hey guys, I'll be back, I'm going to start packing" Someone said, if I remember correctly his name is Ricky. I'll remember all their names at some point. I mean I'll be on the road with them for two days so I hope I will.

I turned on my phone for the first time today, I saw that I had some Twitter notifications, of course I'm going to check them the first thing I see is a tweet from Andy. Looks like he finally told the fans, now I must see how they reacted. I clicked on the replies. The first one I saw said 'ayy, welcome Shadow, everyone who is truly in the bvb family will love you, everyone who is saying the mean things, ignore them, they're fake fans' aww, that's sweet, I love our fans. I replied with 'Thank you, Shadow will very much appreciate this, I'll show it to him later! '. I kept scrolling through them and replying to most of them.

I'm so glad our fans love him this much already. I of course Re-Tweeted to tweet. "Hey, you all up for pizza? " Ryan asked. "Sure" I said. I don't know if he heard my answer because we all answered at once.

I went up to the guest room and clicked on Shadows number and gave it a call. "Hello? " he said he sounded quite tired, it's 4pm here, so about 1 there. "Hey, I called to check in on you, how are you doing" I said. "I'm doing alright, I miss you Lonny, the guys say you should be back tomorrow" he said. "It might be the day after, I'm sorry, I got caught up doing something, I'll explain it when I get back home" I said. "Okay" he said. "So anything new happen? " I ask "well, I met this one person at a coffee shop, Andy told the fans some of the truth, some of them reacted nicely, others though, there replies where brutal, I've had a few nightmares but I've gotten over them" he explained. "Ooh, what's this persons name" I asked. "Flame" he said. "Ooh, nice" I said. "Pizza's here" I hear someone yell from down stairs. "Hey, my foods here, I'll talk to you later" I said. "Aww, okay bye, but promise me you'll try and call sometime" he said. "Don't worry I will, bye" I said hanging up the phone.

I went down stairs and went to the living room where everyone is, the pizza looks so good. "Just to warn you, when you have this pizza, you can never go back to any other pizzas" Ricky said. I laughed at that. I grabbed a slice and took a bite. Oh wow, this is actually the best pizza I've ever had. "See told ya" he said.

Artie was just sitting there looking at his hands. I walked over to him, "hey, you know you're allowed to have this" I told him. "Wait really? " he asked me looking up. "Yeah, like I said you can have any food, I can tell you right now Chris won't mind" I told him. He got up and got a slice of pizza.

Chris looked at me giveing me a confused look, I motioned for him to follow me. "What was that about" he asked once we where in a different room. "The people he's lived with wouldn't let him eat, he had to have permission" I told him. "They did that to my kid" he said getting lost in thought. "There is no way their ever seeing my kid ever again" he said. "There's something I need to tell you, but you can't tell anyone else" I said. "What's up? " he said. "So Artie ran away before I found him, he only ran away because those people got into a fight, the guy killed the girl, Artie found this" I said handing him Artie's birth certificate. "And he went looking for me" Chris said finishing off the story.

Chris's name was the only one you could actually read, the mom's name was all smudged. "Thanks for telling me, I promise I won't tell a soul" he said. "Of course, your his dad, you deserve to know" I said.
