I Know It's Hurting You, But It's Killing Me (A7X Fan Fiction)

Chapter Twenty Eight: Finally Home

Sorry for the delay!!! 

            “How the fuck we doing, Las Vegas?!” Matt screamed, his voice projected across the whole stadium. His ego rose as the crowd made an incredible amount of noise. “So, we all know that this is our last concert before we take a break and hit the recording studio. So let’s make this the best fucking concert!” he yelled some more.

            All of the boys had huge grins on their faces as the crowd got louder and they started the opening to Chapter Four.

            They were all kind of bummed that the tour was coming to an end after 3 short, but very exciting months, but in a way, they were a little happy to be going home with their girls to live a somewhat normal life for a little bit while they worked on some new album ideas.

            After they finished their last song, Bat Country, they waved goodbye to all the fans before leaving the stage, but no lights were turned on. The arena stayed dark as everyone shouted: “Sevenfold!” repeatedly. And there was a long pause before they 5 guys finally walked back out on stage, Brian starting the familiar riff to Unholy Confessions as the spot light shone on him. Shortly, the rest of the band joined him. Everyone in the audience sang along with Matt as he had them form mosh pits.

            They guys definitely gave it their all, not that they don’t for every song at every concert, but they weren’t sure when they were going to be touring next, so they really wanted to show these kids a good time.

            “So if any of you have been following the tour, or if you’ve been to one of our previous shows this tour, then you should remember our life saver, the only person we trust to play lead guitar in place of Syn Gates, and Jimmy’s fantastic girlfriend, Rory!” Matt announced as Rory, who had become much more comfortable being out on stage in front of huge crowds

            “Hey guys! First off, I want to thank everyone again for the support. I’m surprised rotten tomatoes weren’t thrown at me on the first night! Next, I’d like to thank all of the Avenged Sevenfold family again for all their help and for making my dream come true. I owe it to all of you guys: from these five handsome, talented men up on stage; to all of their girls; and to all the guys backstage who help make an A7X show the best fucking show you’ll ever see.  I’d like to thank Brian for teaching me how to play all of their songs, and for bettering my guitar skills. And lastly, I’d like to thank Jimmy, my amazing boyfriend, for bringing me into this fucking kickass family!” The crowd cheered for her.

            “So, because we’d like to thank Rory a second time for helping out and saving this tour, we want to ask her to play the last song with us. What’d you say, Las Vegas?”

            Before Rory knew it, one of the Berry’s handed her a guitar as the rest of the band started playing A Little Piece of Heaven.

            Lyric had been spending a lot of time at Brian’s house now that they were finally back home again. She really had no reason to be at her own house when she could be at Brian’s spending time with him instead.

            One morning, instead of waking up in a strong pair of heavily tattooed arms, Lyric woke up alone. After she rubbed the sleep from her eyes, she noticed there was a note lying on his pillow. Even though it was cliché, she smiled as she picked it up, reading Brian’s scribbled words.

                        Babe, I went to go get us some food at the grocery store. You looked so cute sleeping that I couldn’t stand to wake you. See you when I get home :)
