Only Metal Can Save Me Now//Metal Lords •Hunter Sylvester•

God, If You're Here...

God if you're here, please fucking save me

I hated the life and the cards I got delt with. Religious ass parents who don't let you have your own opinions, music taste, fashion...life it's self. My dad was the worst of them both. I secretly hoped that they'd get divorced. My mom was chiller than my dad ever had been or will be though.

I was far from my parents. But I of course had to keep my whole personality to my-fucking-self, except for the fact that my mom let me have my room the way I wanted, she just didn't know...well me. Seriously, it's a lot and one of these days, I'm going to fucking snap.

Can't listen to music around them, dress in what I want to dress in or wear my hair the way I want. Closest thing I had to solitude was my room, phone and my headphones.

I sighed. I was walking to school. Perk of having strict religious ass parents, no drivers license and no car. That was mostly my dad though. Fuck my life.

I got to school and as I was walking towards the door I heard tires screech and I looked over, my eyes going wide. I saw a black dodge charger nearly run me over.

"Holy sh-" I was about to say before the passenger of the car got out. I sighed and glanced at the license plate and rolled my eyes. Of course it was Hunter and Kevin.

Kevin wasn't mean to me, he just, didn't talk to me that often. Now Hunter on other hand, he absolutely fucking hated me. Another perk of having strict religious parents, the kids who like metal, don't like you because they think you see them as satan worshipping bastards based on your beliefs...sorry, your parent's beliefs.

I wish he'd open his eyes and see that I am one of those bastards. Kevin stood by me as we both watched Hunter back up and find a parking place.

"Sorry about him." Kevin said. I shrugged. "It's okay, at least I didn't die." He nodded and I walked into the school, leaving whatever the fuck just happened, where it happened.

I opened my locker and shoved my shit in. Reluctantly taking out my earbuds and leaving my phone in it. I was about to close my locker when it was slammed shut instead.

I expected it to be Skip or one of his goons but nope. It was none other than Hunter Sylvester. Ass wipe. It didn't take someone being friends to know what an ass he was to those around him.

I sighed and turned to face him. "What the fuck, bible thumper?" He said like he was pissed off. I wanted to laugh at that. If anyone was a bible thumper, it definitely wasn't me. "What do you want?" I asked.

"You almost made me crash my car." I rolled my eyes. "If you had ended up crashing your car, you would have just gotten another one or gotten it fixed." I told him. It was true, it was no secret that half the people at this school, had fucking money...well their parents money.

"And honestly, if you did end up hitting me, I wouldn't of given a shit." I told him. I usually watched what I said to people at school because, sadly, everyone knew everybody, and what I said or how I acted could end up back to my parents, so, I played nice and didn't say things like 'fuck', but this morning, I had a rough fucking start and with Hunter almost running me over and what was happening now? I wanted to be done with the fucking day.

"Whoa, did you and God have a falling out?" He joked with wide eyes, surprised I cursed. I rolled my eyes and sighed. "It's hard to have a falling out when I never fucking believed in the guy in the first place." I mumbled.

"What?" He questioned. "Fuck if I know." I said bluntly, shaking my head and shrugged my shoulders, fed up. I watched as he furrowed his eyes and looked at me confused. I was expecting him to say something else but he didn't, so I walked away and to my first class.

As Eden walked down the hallway, Hunter tilted his head as she walked, still wearing his confused face. "What are you doing?" Kevin asked as he walked up to him. Hunter continued to look into the direction of where Eden went down the hall.

He turned to his friend, his head still titled and his face still confused. "What do you know about Eden Covertin?" He asked Kevin. "I mean she's nice. I think she's just really religious and that's okay." Kevin told his friend.

Hunter continued to look at his friend. "Do really religious people say shit and fuck?" He questioned.

Kevin's eyes went wide. "I talk to her from time to time and she doesn't curse...it's really none of our business though and it doesn't really matter if she does or not." Kevin said.

"Maybe she's just weird." Hunter said. The bell rang. "Hunter, we're weird. Eden's just...Eden." Kevin said as he walked in the direction of his class, leaving Hunter alone in the hallway.

***

First hour was math class and I wanted to die. The math was easy, don't get me wrong, but I literally would rather be anywhere but here, and I didn't want to go home.

Fuckkkk.

After Math was history and I didn't want to be there either. Kevin was in the class though and I was surprised when he sat down next to me.

I fell asleep in that class.

Before the bell rang though, I woke up. Kevin looked at me. "I know we don't really talk that much but your nice and I was wondering if you'd want to be friends." He said in a whisper.

"Does that include Fucker Sylvester?" I asked. Kevin shook his head. I sat up. "Okay then, but I will not hang out with him under any circumstances." I said.

Kevin reassured me that I wouldn't be. Next was lunch. I sat at a table by myself. With barely anything on my tray. I had my headphones in, listening to Becoming by Pantera as I worked on an art project I kind of forgot about.

As I worked, I heard a lunch tray be set on the table in front of me. I looked up to see Kevin. I took out one of my headphones. "Hi?" I said, wondering why he was sitting with me.

He smiled as a girl sat down next to him. Now I was confused. As long as Hunter doesn't sit with us though, things were fine.

Kevin introduced me to the girl. Her name was Emily.

We didn't talk much, I sat there listening to music as I drew, the song going from Raining Blood by Slayer to God Hates Us by Avenged Sevenfold.

Every time that song came on it made me chuckle. Here I am listening to a song about god saving and hating us, with a cross around my neck. I chuckled.

"What's funny?" Emily asked. I looked up to she and Kevin and smiled. "Absolutely nothing."

Today was going to be weird.

(A/N: hey, so as I'm writing this story I just want to address that im not shitting on anyone's beliefs. People have the right to have there own opinions and beliefs about things, also, this is not reflecting my religious beliefs or anything like that. Im agnostic and wouldn't judge someone for being religious or not religious. I have seen Metal Lords way to many times and I thought I'd write a fanfic about it to take a break from the Avenged Sevenfold one I'm writing. Any who, I hope you enjoy this story. Happy reading -Jaimie 🦆🤘)
