It's Complicated (A Black Veil Brides Love Story)

No. No. No.

*At the club*

*Riot's POV*

Okay, so this fucking hurts like a mother fucking bitch. How the hell did she beat me out!? Even Stephanie said she wouldn't make the squad! Everyone else said she wouldn't make it! We all had our dream squad set in our minds. Guess that was never going to happen . . .

We told you . . . the voices whispered.

I quickly wiped a single tear from my face before anyone could see it. If you make it: Party. If you don't make it: Party harder! That's what everyone always said during tryouts. I suppose they were right.

Echo and I followed the guys to the bar where everyone ordered beers, except for me and Echo. Echo got water, and me? I got . . . Well I'm not even really sure what it was . . . It was a shot that Andy handed to me. I'm pretty sure it's the same thing he gave me the first night we met. Same blue color and everything.

"Hey, babe?" I asked Andy. He looked at me with a smile. "What is this anyways?"

"It's the same thing I bought you on the first night we met," I knew it! "It's called a Sub Zero. They're pretty strong, aren't they?" He said with a wink.

I felt my face go hot as I grabbed the shot glass. I stood on my toes and gave Andy a quick kiss before downing the Sub Zero. With a small shiver, I slammed the glass down on the bar and asked for another.

I might as well get drunk off my ass before I let my blood spill . . .

*Ashley's POV*

It's about ten o'clock now. Riot has downed way too many drinks to count, and Echo and CC went outside on a walk. Echo didn't want to drink because of the baby and well . . . She's only nineteen. I still have no idea how they hooked her up with a fake ID. CC didn't want to drink too much because of Echo, so he only had about two beers before they left.

Jinxx and Jake were sitting at the end of the bar talking to some girls as per usual. I suppose they're pretty cute. Actually . . . I think the girl Jake was talking to was perfect for him. They looked like they would make a really nice couple.

I've been trying to keep an eye on Riot, but she keeps wandering off into the girl’s bathroom. Andy is usually with her when she's out dancing in the club. She's so drunk that she's stumbling with every step. God, I wish I could help her somehow. This probably hurts her so much. I mean, she's been cheering since she was in the second grade! I didn't know what it was like, but I knew it had to hurt . . . BAD.

I watched from the bar as she wandered towards the bathroom again. What the hell? This is the fifth time within the hour and a half we've been here! Yeah, she had a lot of drinks, but I don't think she actually goes to the bathroom like this on a regular basis.

Something's going on here . . . And I'm going to find out what . . .

Walking to the bathroom, I stood outside the door and waited. A lot of girls were giving me looks. Some like "Hey, you wanna fuck?" and others were just complete and total disgust. "Perv, why is he standing outside the girl’s bathroom?" I heard one of the many girls in short dresses say to her friend. I shrugged it off and waited.

I checked the clock on my phone. It's been about seven minutes. Something is definitely going on. The door opened and Riot stumbled out, almost tripping over another girl. I saw her cringe as the other girl knocked hips with her. I immediately jumped over to her and caught Riot before she fell over. Her hand was on her hip and she looked like she was going to puke.

"Are you okay, Riot?" I asked as I helped her straighten up. Her face was pale and her hands were freezing cold.

"Yeah, Purdy boy. I'm fine now that you're here!" She slurred at me. I heard a high-pitched hiccup come from her mouth as I pulled her out of the way of the door so she didn't get hit.
