My life hadn't always been like this. In fact, it used to be way better. That was, until I met Scott. He was great when I first met him. But then it got worse. After about a month or two of us dating he asked me to move in with him and I said yes. That was right around the time my band and I were recording songs for our new album Victim to Villain. Scott was ok with it, as long as the guys weren't coming over all the time. I didn't see the big problem with that though, so I agreed.

Then the band and I were writing 'Angel Eyes' and we wanted a male singer to fit in with the theme of the song/album. So we contacted Chris Motionless and he said yes (yes Chris from Motionless in White). We all had a meeting at mine and Scott's house so he could meet everyone. Let's just say, Chris and Scott didn't like each other. I remember Chris texting me that night after Scott fell asleep.

C: Your boyfriend's name was Scott, right?

A: Yeah. Why?

C: I just felt like it was a good thing to say that I have a bad feeling about him and I think he doesn't like me.

A: Oh. Umm, Ok

C: Sorry, I know you meant well. Ill let you sleep, I know you need it. Every time we have been in the studio you look like you haven't been sleeping well.

A: It's all right. And yeah I haven't been sleeping. There's things going on. Goodnight Chris. I'll see you tomorrow at the studio.

C: I expect to be told what's going on at some point XD I'm kidding, but seriously you're my best friend and I want to know what's up. But I'll let you sleep. Goodnight Ash, sleep well please.

The next day after getting back from the studio is when it happened. I was grabbing a vase to put some red and black roses from all the boys (they're so sweet) when Scott came over and hugged me. I didn't realize he was home, so naturally, it scared the shit out of me. When I dropped the vase and it shattered, I never thought Scott would do what he did. As I squatted to pick up the broken glass, Scott pushed me into the glass. I looked at him, shocked that he pushed me.

"You worthless bitch you can't do anything right, can you?!" Scott screamed down at me. I felt the tears form in my eyes, but they didn't fall until he slapped me so hard I tasted blood. I sat next to the pile of glass, tears spilling from my eyes as Scott left the room, not caring about the blood dripping from my hands. And not caring about what he'd just done.

When Scott fell asleep, I ran to Nikki's house who then called Chris. After they helped me clean my hands, I spent the night there because I was too shocked to leave. I went home the next morning and Scott apologized, saying he was a little buzzed and I forgave him.

I wish I could say that was the only time, but that's never the case. That was just the beginning and it got a lot worse, especially right before the Angel Eyes Music Video. That night I thought I was done for.

So that's the prologue. The next chapter starts the Day/Night before the Angel Eyes video. I hope you guys like this story :) -Alana
