Never Give In

We Bleed Like Watercolors

I sat up in bed and looked around. Today warped was starting and I would have to leave Chris. I wasn't really happy about that but I have to. I looked over Chris to see him sleeping peacefully. I smiled, kissed his forehead and climbed out of bed. I walked over to my closet and pulled out my black bra and panties, red tank top, black skinny jeans, and my cut up avenged sevenfold top. I walked to my bathroom and got into the shower. I was washing my hair when Chris climbed in with me. "Morning beautiful." He said as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I smiled and put my head into his chest. "Morning baby." He kissed my forehead and helped me to get cleaned up. After I rinsed myself off, I got out the shower and dried my body and hair. I threw my clothes on and put on some eyeliner. I walked back to my closet and found my combat boots to put on. I sat on the bed and sighed. I really didn't want to leave but it's something I had to get used to. Chris walked in wearing a pair of black jeans and sat next to. "I'm really going to miss you." Chris said as he started to tear up. "Me too. It'll be over before you know it. I'll be back and we can go on a date." He smiled and wrapped his arms around me. The doorbell went off and I frowned. I kissed him, grabbed my bag and ran out the door. I threw my stuff into my bunk and waved goodbye. I hated to leave like this but I hated goodbyes and Chris knew that. I sat on the couch with Jackson (I realized that I called her Mitch by accident.) and tried to hold back all the tears. "Let it out vi, it isn't good to hold it all in." She put her hand on my shoulder as I started to cry. She pulled me into a hug as Konnie came onto the bus. "Vi? What's up?" She asked as she sat on the other side of me. "She doesn't want to leave Cc." Jackson answered while rubbing my back. After a while, I fell asleep and woke up to Jackson gently shaking me. "Sweetie, we are here and you need to get ready okay?" I nodded and sat up. I walked to my bunk and pulled out my performance clothes for the night. I checked the mirror and saw that my makeup was fine. I walked off the bus with my mates and to the stage. Motionless was just getting off the stage as we approached. Ghost ran over to me and hugged me. "Vi!! What's up!" I smiled and shook my head. "Nothing much besides warped." He smiled and chuckled. "Good luck vi!" I smiled and ran on stage, and up to my drums.

We started out with reincarnate then went to I'm no good. We finished with a new song that I had been working on called 'blood like ice' which is about when you think that someone cares about you but hurts you. We finished and I tossed my sticks into the crowd before running off the stage. I walked back the bus and showered. I changed back into my day clothes and sat on the couch. Konnie came back in from her shower and sat next to me. Her baby pump was starting to become visible. "Think of any names yet?" I asked her while grabbing a monster and water out of the fridge. "I was thinking of something like zero? It sounds good." I smiled and handed her the water. "If it's a girl, how about, morvyn?" She smiled brightly and nodded. "I like that one a lot! Where did you get it from?" Konnie asked as I sighed. "My grandma told me that it's what Zero's name would have been if he was a girl." Konnie nodded and looked at me worriedly. "Violet, you look really pale." I sighed and put my hand on my stomach. "I'm just a little hungry." I got off the couch and grabbed a hot pocket from the fridge. I threw it into the microwave and grabbed my phone. I had a text from Chris and a missed call from my grandma. Since it was late, I wasn't going to call back.

C- hey babe! You did awesome!! I'm sorry that I didn't say hi but I did want to make it worse for you...

V- thank you for understanding baby.

C-I miss you a lot but you need to sleep.

V-Aww I wanna stay up though!

C- it's bedtime! Go to bed and I'll talk to you later my rebel.

V- okay. Night wild one

C-night rebel I love you

V- love you too

I put my phone down and smiled. I grabbed my hot pocket and started to eat. My phoned pinged and I looked at it. Chris had tagged me in a photo. I opened me Instagram to see a picture of chris and I kissing. In the comments I saw that Chris had written 'I miss my rebel but she's off having fun and living her dream! Love you baby!' I smiled and took a pic of me smiling. In the comments I decided to write 'off at warped. I miss my wild one but I gotta be here. We'll be in Portland tomorrow! See ya there diamonds!' I posted the picture and closed my phone. I threw away my paper plate and climbed into bed and fell into a deep sleep.
