Remenissions (Avenged Sevenfold)

Chapter 84

Matt's POV

I closed me eye's, I would try and get at least a little sleep, but I could hear Brian, Johnny and Jimmy, talking quietly, planning what they were going to do tonight.

"Hey." Brian hissed and I looked over at him. "Are you going to come out tonight?"

I shook my head. "Probably not."

"Soft cock." He hissed and I smiled, turning back and looking to my left.

I couldn't believe it sometimes, I really couldn't. This time last year, we were on tour and I was doing this with Courtney, god how different I was. I was making plans like the other's, planning on going out to the clubs as soon as we landed somewhere, half pissed on the flights, but now, now I was mellow. No, now I was happy. The reason was currently asleep, her head back, mouth open. She looked tired, worn out and tonight I was happy just to hang around the hotel with her, I didn't even want to go out anymore.

I couldn't believe I thought Courtney was the one, god I was so close to making a huge mistake and I often wondered what my life would be like if I had. I knew Lana wouldn't be a part of my life anymore, Courtney would have made sure of that. Around one year ago, it had been almost one year ago that we'd gotten engaged and so much had happened, so much.

I reached out and took Lana's hand, entwining my fingers through hers. It was all good, everything that happened was all good and yeah a year ago I was engaged to Courtney but it had led me to Lana, to this and I gently put my hand on her stomach.

"What are you doing?" She suddenly whispered, opening her eye's.

I smiled and shrugged. "Nothing, now go back to sleep."

She smiled and closed her eye's again and I just looked at her. She was beautiful, but I guess she always had been. She was beautiful at school, I would say I hadn't noticed, but I guess I had, I was just too busy being her friend to do anything about it. She'd changed too, in this past year, she was quieter, like me, I guess we'd both settled down.

I laid my head back and closed my eye's. Hopefully the flight would go quick. Our first stop back home was Florida and right now I just wanted to get to the hotel and relax.

I quickly looked around me and noticed Brian and Johnny still whispering furiously to each other, then I noticed Marty, just looking at Lana and I and I quickly looked away, back at Lana. I still didn't know what Marty's problem was, but what she was doing to Lana was unforgiveable in my books. Nobody treated Lana that way, nobody. After everything Lana had done for her, and the midnight dash to Big Bear came to mind. How quickly Marty had forgotten about everything.

I'd like to say the flight went quickly but I'd be lying, it took forever and Lana had a hard time sitting still towards the end of it. I guess carrying around another human would be uncomfortable.

"Not long now." I whispered to her as the flight got closer to landing.

She smiled and nodded. "Thank god." She said, then she lent over, lowering her voice. "Are you going out tonight?" She asked me.

I shook my head. "Not unless you want to."

"You can go Matt." She told me. "I don't mind, I just really want to get the hotel and hang around in my undies, I'm so fucking uncomfortable right now."

I laughed loudly and everyone looked at me, but I ignored them. "I think I'll just hang out with you in my undies too if that's okay."

She smiled and squeezed my hand. "It sounds delightful." And trust me, it would be delightful.

Finally we landed and all piled off the plane. I watched Marty trying to control Brian and Johnny, they were being a little rowdy and they were drunk. I'd help her but she could deal with it herself, I certainly wasn't helping her.
