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

More Nightmares

Shadow's POV

I woke up still in my regular clothes, when did I actually fall asleep. I looked at my clock to see what time it was, my clock said it was 1 am. I wasn't tired at all. Now where is my phone, so I'll have something to do. I looked where it normally was, but it wasn't there. I guess I'll just try and sleep more.

(I can't think of a bad nightmare to put in his dream world, so I guess time skip to when he wakes up from a bad nightmare)

I bolted up out of my bed. I hate nightmares. Everytime I have them I just want to be with one of the guys. But I also don't want to bother the guys. I then once again started crying like the baby I was. I looked at the time, only 2 am. That whole dream happened in only an hour.

That one was a lot worse then the others I have. Oh, I hope Andy won't mind, it's only tonight. I walk out of my room and crack Andy's door a little, I don't want to wake anyone else up from knocking. "Andy? " I said in a very quiet voice. "Hey dad? " I said only a little lounder.

You know what I shouldn't have came in here, I should've just not been a baby. I turned around to walk away, "Oh Shadow, come in" I heard Andy say in a very sleepy voice. I walked in and shut the door. "What's up? " he asked. "Well I had a nightmare, I couldn't fall back asleep, I'm sorry for wakeing you up, I'll just go back to my room" I told him. "No, you don't have to apologize, nightmares suck, you want to talk about it? " he asked. "I guess so" I said.

I then explained the dream to him. He was somewhat shocked "aw, come here" he said, he gave me a hug. "You want to watch a movie, that usually helps" he suggested. "That sounds nice" I said. We walked downstairs, Andy let me pick a movie while he went into the kitchen for something.

I'm not sure what movie to watch though, I've never watched any of these, I picked up a random one, the one I picked it had what looks like Andy on it. Is that actually him? It was called 'American Satan'. Dad came back in with two mugs. "Did you find something? " he asked. "Yep, what's in the mugs? " I asked. "Coffee for me and hot coco for you" he said while placeing down the cups. "So what movie is it today? " he asked. I showed him.

He thought for a minute, "you know what, I think you're old enough" he said. "Ready to see me act? " he asked smileing. "Wait, so I was right that is you on the cover" I said. He nodded his head while taking a sip of his coffee. I put the disk into the player and sat next to Andy, I grabbed my hot coco and we got ready to watch the movie.

Lonny's POV

It was only 5 in the morning, we're getting ready to head out. Everyone was already here besides Vinny. "So does your booking agent usually do things like this? " I asked Chris. "Not not Tippically, he only did it this time because another band just dropped that Festival" he said. I nodded.

It was about 15 minutes after the time we where planning on leaving and Vinny finally came onto the bus. Their plan with my car was to attach it to the back of the van. I was showed my bunk and they gave me a small tour of the bus.

Vinny was being funny and showing the littlest details. I sat at one of the tables that where in the main area of the bus and got on my phone. Anything new on Twitter today. I scrolled for a while but couldn't find many interesting things.

Shadow's POV

We finished the movie we where watching I looked at Andy, "why did it end just like that? " I asked him. He laughed a little, "don't worry there's a whole show that goes along with it" he said. Jinxx came down stairs, "morning you two, how long have you guys been up, it's like 4:30 in the morning" he said. "Since around 2" Andy said. Jinxx looked shocked. "Hey Jinxx remember that promise you guys made, when will the lessons start? " I asked him, "hmm, if you're up for it we can do it after I have my morning coffee" he said. "Okay! " I said. Jinxx walked into the kitchen and I heard him pouring coffee. He came back out to the living room and sat down. He drank his coffee while looking through his phone.

Jinxx stood up and went back to the kitchen, a few seconds later he walked out, "come on let's get started" he said. I followed him to the practice studio. I went into my practice room, Jinxx walked off some where and came back with another gutair. "First we should get used to how to hold it. " he said. He showed me and I attempted to do what he was doing, "here" Jinxx said, he put down his gutair and walked over to me, he moves some of my fingers, "does that feel better? " he asked. "Much better" I said. He went over other basic things that I need to know to start playing. He then started showing me cordes for it. This was very fun. Yes, I've played gutair before, it's just that it's been a while and I completely forgot.

My hands started to hurt after a while though, "Jinxx my hands hurt" I told him. "Oh no wonder, it's 7 now, wow we've been down here for a while. " he said. I stood up and put my gutair back, Jinxx walked out of the room into another room, I assume that one is his.

I walk upstairs and saw that Jake was awake. "Oh hey Shadow" he said. "Morning Jake" I said. "How'd you sleep" he asked. "Not good" I told him, "I'm sorry to hear that" he said. "It's fine, it's normal" I told him. I walk upstairs to my room and sat in my bed, now where is my phone. I then spotted it on the floor across the room.

I heard footsteps nearing my room, there was a knock on my door, "come in" I said. I watched Jinxx walk into my room. "What's up? " I ask. "I was wondering, why where you up at 2? " he asked. "Nightmares" I simply said. "You said that like that's normal, how long have you been having nightmares? " he asked me.

That's a great question, let's see, I think it was before tour started, maybe a week before... "I think maybe a week before tour started" I told him, he looked shocked. "How bad are they" he asked clearly concerned. "Well saying all of you die in all of them, they're pretty bad" I told him.

He hugged me. "I'm sorry you have to go through that" he says. "It's fine, I'm used to it, and it's not like you can do much about it" I told him. "I'll try to do something" he said. "Why would you do that? " I asked him, shoot I shouldn't have asked that. "Because you're my little brother, you think I'll let you go through things by yourself? " he asked. "I mean most of my life I've gone through things by myself, so I can go through things by myself" I told him. "Well, you're no longer alone, you have me and all of the other guys to help you through anything, and I mean anything" he said. That made me smile I just hugged Jinxx. I'm so glad I have the guys.
