The Biersack-Purdy Rebel

Pranks and Initiation

“Eww this is disgusting” I laughed squeezing the paint in to the bucket.
“Oh my god, that’s the worst blue I’ve ever seen!” Jason laughed.
“He’s gonna kill you” Tim added taking a look also in the bucket. I just laughed, squeezing the last bit out of the tube. Taking the bucket, I stood on the chair. Tim held the door for me as I balanced it on the top.
“Ready?” I asked as he helped me off the chair. I sat down the couch and waited for Travis to arrive.
This wasn’t just out of the ‘blue’ prank; no pun intended, this was payback. I knew I’d be introduced in some sort of initiation but what I got was horrible! In the end I was squirted with water, covered in flour from flour bombs then smashed with eggs and that was just walking in the door. I knew these guys well so I was prepared, just took me forever to the everything out of my hair.
“Guys Guys! You gotta....WHAT THE!” Travis came waltzing in the door then SPLAT! He looked up at all of us, blue paint dripping down his face. He looked down; the magazine he had was covered in paint.
“ARIEL!” He growled. I just laughed along with everyone.
“You okay Travvy you look a little Blue...”I giggled.
“You’re so dead!” he smirked, and came towards me. Oh shit! I jumped up and tried to run but Travis’ wrapped his arms around my waist smearing blue paint all over me. I yelped half laughing half crying. I screamed all the way out to the pool, I was going to kill him.
“Don’t Travis! PLEASE!” I begged half joking.  As he went to let go of me I grabbed hold on to his shirt as tight as possible.
“Fuckkkkk!” I heard Travis as I pulled on the shirt. It was only seconds before we both were submerged in the cool water. Jumping up, I laughed splashing all the other guys around the pool.
“Yeah your gonna fit right in” Travis grinned.
“Oh really?!” I jumped on his back pushing him back under the water.

‘Nice day for a dip’ I captioned on the photo I tweeted of Travis and I standing dripping wet laughing our heads off.
“Whose hungry?” Tim asked.
“ME!” We all yelled out.
“GUYS!!!” we heard someone call out. All of us looking down the hallway seeing someone walking towards us. Walking through the door we saw James, he was the band manager and publicist. We all greeted him as he grouped us together for a talk. James wanted to make a formal statement and post it on the bands official site letting the fans know of the change, ‘officially’. Although everyone had their suspicions’ there was no statement and that was James’ job. We also make a collage of photos from the previous day when they all pranked me;  just a bit of fun for the fans to see. I was really anxious about what people would say.

I couldn’t believe it had already been a few weeks since I had seen the guys. I always kept up with Andy tweeting pictures and stuff plus he always let me know how things were going.
‘Guess who’s coming back home’ I read a text from Andy.
‘I dunno...Batman?” I asked teasing him.
‘I’ve told you this, we can’t let people know my secret’ He texted back.
‘Can’t wait to see you! And everyone!’ I replied.

Travis came back in the room and threw something at me. I picked up the envelope and looked at the hand writing. It was Sammi’s I knew her writing instantly. I ripped it open and looked at the invitation.
“Oh fuck, they didn’t!” I growled. There it was in my hands was an invitation to mine own baby shower! They knew I didn’t want one!
‘Hey Miss Sammi, I just received an invitation to MY OWN baby shower which I don’t remember ORGANISING!!!’ I messaged.
‘Are you EXCITED!!! I promise it’s all non-traditional....Juliet’s idea!’ was the reply I got back. I looked at the invitation again and its true it was not traditional at all....it was ‘Wonderland’ themed and dress up. This may not be so bad after all.

‘Thanks girls, it does look pretty cool...All non-traditional and all...can the guys come?’ I asked hoping they would say yes. Technically it was my party but they did organise it.

‘Glad you like it...they already are! Andy gave us the idea for dress up...although I think that was only so he could dress up as Batman!’ Juliet replied.

‘I knew it! Thanks girls!’ I replied. I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face! This was going to be so much fun! I already knew what I was going to wear, just had to find one that fit!

The next few days past and it was really quite boring. Kerrang! Kept contacting James asking us for an interview and photoshoot about me joining the band. I wasn’t having it, I didn’t want to go to a photoshoot looking like this! The only thing I was excited about BVB coming home today. They were going to take a week break before going back to finish the tour.

I ripped open a block of my favourite chocolate and jumped on the bench as Jason and Tim played video games. The good thing was I could basically eat anything and none of the guys could say shit! I heard a knock at the door, looking over at the two boys they didn’t flinch!
“I’ll get it!” I stabbed sarcastically....No reply. Rolling my eyes I went to the door, opening it up I saw some very tired boys standing in front of me.
“You guys look like shit!” I laughed.
“Speak for yourself” smiled Jinxx.
“When did you guys get in?” I asked hugging them all.
“Last night”
Ashley was unusually quiet at the back.
“What’s wrong Ash’shy?”  I giggled and jumped on him. Finally cracking a smile he hugged me back and I pulled them inside... well tried.
“Wait, Ariel, we want to show you something” Ashley pleaded. I looked at all of the guys, they were all tired and on closer inspection covered in paint spots.
“okayyy...” I replied weary.

After squishing in the car, we arrived at Ashley’s place. I knew he wanted me to move in with him but something else must have been up. They all pushed me inside, very eager and excited. They took me upstairs and stood in front of the door. I pushed it open; I couldn’t believe what I saw. The walls were painted baby pink. On the walls were photo frames with photos of all the guys, me included. On the right was a change table, all packed and ready;  to the left was a crib all set up with blankets and toys all included. A baby mobile  was hanging above the crib. Also in the corner was a rocking chair, with bright pink and Black BVB pillows. A bright pink rug laid in the centre of the room.
“Oh my god” I freaked looking around. I couldn’t speak. Tears welled in my eyes, no wonder why they looked tired.
“I thought this room would be great for the baby, being right next to your room” Ashley said shyly.
“My room?” I asked looking over. Ashley took my hand and we went next door. As we went in, all my stuff was there. Clothes, pillows, photos, make-up; Everything!
“But Ash...” I started, knowing this was previously Ashley’s room.
“Do you like it?” they all asked.
“I love it!” I replied hugging all of them. I couldn’t believe they did this all for me. As I stood with all of the guys, I felt the baby move again.
“Ash” I called grabbing his hand again so he could feel. His face lit up, I knew he was happy and all of this was worth it.
“Andy, come here” he called. Andy was a little cautious about it but as he felt her kick again, I swore I saw a little tear in his eye.
“That’s my niece!” he rhetorically asked.
“I’m so proud of you” Andy said, kissing the top of my head. I hugged Ashley tight, ‘Thank you so much’ I whispered.
