Fall For You (Synyster Gates)

Chapter 1: Girl I Know

Latrice’s POV

“Thank you so much for coming out, we fucking appreciate all of your support! We will see you all very soon!!” Matt screamed from his microphone, closing the amazing concert tonight. They all started to throw merchs for the audiences.

“Dad, let me get on your shoulder!!” I said loudly to my dad, he accompanied me to this concert, I can’t watch this by myself and my mom is protective as ever, she asked dad to come along.

Now that I’m taller from everyone else, I really hope to get one of the merchandise they are throwing, I’d be glad even if I got one guitar pick, I swear I’d use that pick whenever I play my guitar every single time. Then I see Brian is taking out his jacket he is wearing, getting ready to throw it to the lucky person. I shouted “BRIIAAANNNNN!!!!” as hard as I could and I catch his glimpse and he winked at me, I dunno. Next thing you I know, the jacket landed on me. Well, I know I’m not fair, I was in the 3rd row or so and I’m on my dad’s shoulder. But fuck yeah, I’m lucky!

After this I’m supposed to meet Brian and Zacky for meet and greet, my dad told me to wear that jacket while he waits outside. I went to the meet and greet room, got lost on the way there and finally get in the line.  Damn I am the last person standing there. I watched the queue in front of me, there sat Brian and Zacky. I’m as nervous as hell when it’s about my turn.

“The last one, eh..” I heard Zacky mumbled.

“Hey you got my jacket” I heard Brian said to me smiling sweetly.

“Yes I did! Guess this is my lucky night!” I said squealing.

I gave him and Zacky each of my stuff I want them to sign on.

“Your name?” Brian asked.

“Latrice Sullivan.”

“Spell that for me please,” he said laughing.

I spelled for them and they signed and wrote my name on my stuffs.

“Hey are you somehow related to Jimmy?” Zacky asked while handing the t-shirt he signed.

“The Rev? Hmm, no I don’t think so... I know I got the same last name as him though” I grinned.

“Did somebody call my name?” I saw Jimmy walked to us, “Hey you guys finished?” he continued.  He turned to me, “Hey there!!” he yelled waving at me.

“Hi Jimmy!” I smiled, waving back at him.

“Yeah, we’re about to finish, she’s the last I think.” Brian answered Jimmy.

“Oh, I see... Well I’m going to the bus first, they already almost finished packing this shit. I’m tired as hell dude,” Jimmy said.

“Oh! Hey his girl got the same last name as you Jim!” Zacky shouted when Jimmy was about to leave.

“Whaaat? Really???” Jimmy skipped back to us.

He went to me and he narrowed his eyes, examining my face, turning his head left, then to the right, examining my face carefully with a funny expression on his face.

“What??” I asked him.

“She got the same eyes as you, Jimmy..” Brian commented as he gulped his beer.

“You’re... Umm... Wait you can’t be my.. Ehh, who was it? Hm.. L-Lauri.. Lattre- Letrii.. Wait...” Jimmy mumbled, stratching his head.

“She’s Latrice,” Zacky said.

“That’s it! Oh for fuck’s sake you’re Ricey!” Jimmy yelled happily like he met somebody he knew.

“Eh? Wha-? What do you mean?” I said, confused.

“You’re my cousin!! You’re Latrice, well I used to call you Ricey!” he said.

“What? I d-don’t think...” What’s gotten into Jimmy? Suddenly saying I’m his cousin?

“Well, of course you don’t know I’m your own fucking cousin. You were 4 when you left Huntington to this place, well I’m already 11 back then! I remember those eyes! Your uniquely cute greenish-blue eyes! They haven’t changed over years!”

Jimmy hugged me, really tight I can barely breathe. Brian and Zacky stood there with their jaw dropped.

“Latrice???” I heard my dad called my name.

“Dad!!”

“Wait, ‘Dad’? You mean, Uncle John???” Jimmy said, shocked.

“James! What the hell are you doing here?!” my dad asked Jimmy, completely shocked.

“Hey I’m the kick-ass drummer of this band uncle!” Jimmy happily said.

“Long time no see there Jim-Jim, it’s been 15 years last time we met! Wow I didn’t recognize you up there haha. You’ve grown so tall and big!” my dad said, examining Jimmy from head to toe. “How are your parents, Jim? Haven’t talked to them for ages!”

They had a chat and lost in their conversation, I turned and I saw Brian still on his seat, staring at me.

“So Jimmy’s own cousin got my own fucking jacket, eh, hahaha, what a coincidence..” he smiled.

I sat on Zacky’s seat earlier, watching the staff cleaning around the room. “Yeah, wow, Jimmy is my own cousin? That’s crazy...” I laughed.

“Well, you look like him somehow, it’s kinda cute...” He said. “That’s why I’ve been staring at you a lot during the show.” He added, winking.

“Hahaha, yeah...” I felt my cheeks burned. I believe I’m blushing madly. “Brian, c-can I take a picture with you?” I know this is a completely random question.

“What? Of course you can!” he laughed. “Hey you called me Brian by the way, hahaha,”

I asked one of the staff to take our picture; because my dad was too busy talking to Jimmy. Brian put his hand around me, brought me really close to him. I could smell alcohol mixed with his perfume and it intoxicates me. We took some pictures with cute and weird poses and faces, while waiting for my dad and Jimmy to finish talking. The results of the photos were so funny, especially Brian, he had tons of funny expressions on the pics.

I talked to Brian until my Dad finished talking. Dad said the whole band is going to come over to my house tomorrow, he asked me to pick them up from their hotel. Of course, I said yes.

“See you again tomorrow Ricey! I can’t wait to meet my little cousin again!” Jimmy yelled excitedly.

“Bye, Jimmy, Bye Brian,” I waved to them.

"Byebyee~!" Jimmy grinned.

“Bye~ See you tomorrow Latrice,”
