Fear. Hate. Love

Prologue

~Prologue~

Pulling the door open I step inside holding it open for Bolt. With a thanks he stepped inside before I let the door swing shut.
"Did Kev tell you anything about why he needed to see us?" I asked as we walked side by side toward our manager Kevin's office.
"Not a peep. All he said was he had important news and to get our asses here ASAP." With a nod I replied.
"Same. I wonder what it could be. I hope it's something positive."
"Lets hurry and find out." Bolt quickened his pace I follow suit.
Stepping in Kevin's office I saw Hayden and Owen were already perched on the green leather couch. They both gave a short greeting as I took up residence between them and Bolt took the arm chair that matched the couch, as he always done.
"Where is Kev?" I asked noting he was not present in the room.
"Private phone call." Replied Hayden grabbing her phone.
"Has he said anything?"
"All he has said is he has a wonderful opportunity for us."
"Well at least that sounds positive right?" She gave a nod. "Ugh I hope he hurries up, I'm shattered and want to go back to bed." I grumble.
"Stop your whining woman." Kevin said entering the room. I gave him a cheeky grin as he took a seat.
"What's the dealio?" Bolt asked shifting in his chair.
"Well I was contacted this morning by an old friend who informed me he had heard the album and loved it. He has recently set up a tour for one of his bands and would love to offer you the opportunity to join them on the tour as an opening act?"
"Which band would we be opening for?" I asked.
"Does it matter?" Asked Owen.
"No I suppose not. I'm just curious is all."
"You may have heard of them. Bullet for my valentine?" Kevin informed us. My heart sank. This couldn't be happening. I glanced around at the guys who were all cheering, they all loved the band. Feigned a smile as Hay hugged me in celebration.
"What up Zee?" Bolt asked noting the fact I didn't seem to be thrilled about it.
"Nothing," I lied. I feigned the biggest smile I could. "Just can't believe we have this wonderful opportunity. Hasn't quite sunk in I suppose. I'm so excited though." I told him. He seemed to buy it.
"So you in?"
"Yes without a doubt. What's the details?" Bolt replied with a grin from ear to ear.
"The tour starts a week tomorrow and it will be for 8 months. This is an international tour. I will email you all the details later today."
"This is amazing, guys we need to go out and celebrate tonight." Hay cheered.
"Agreed." Replied Owen high diving Hay.

Rummaging through my wardrobe trying to find something to wear I couldn't get rid of this heavy sinking feeling I had in the pit of my stomach. I wanted so badly to say no to this tour , but I would be a fool to pass up this opportunity. No! I would just have to suck it up and deal. I was an adult and I could handle this in an adult way.
Throwing half the contents of my wardrobe on my bedroom floor behind me I let out a groan of frustration and declared I had no clothes. I heard a deep chuckle from behind me and spun on my heels to see Bolt with a rather amused grin plastered on his face.
"You know you say that every time you are getting ready to go out?"
"Do not." I poked my tongue out at him.
"Oh, but you do my sweet Zee."
"Why are you skulking around my room every time I'm getting ready to know I say this? And why are you skulking now?"
"I'm not skulking, I do not skulk. I know you say it as you always rant and yell about it, I think half the street can hear you. I am here now because I came to see if you wanted a drink while you got ready?"
"Oh yes please, usual" I replied with a grin. Bolt shook his head and exited the room.

Finally dressed and ready to get the party started, maybe drink will stop my stomach being heavy with dread. I checked my appearance out in the full length mirror that was attached to my wardrobe door. I wore my distressed black skinny jeans AC/DC tank top with my leather jacket and combat boots. My wrists decorated with many bangles, bands and such like, I had chin length black hair in it's usual I just crawled out of bed and couldn't find a brush look and I lined my electric blue eyes heavily and done a perfect cats eye flick. I had a lick of mascara on and I had my usual cherry red lipstick with a light coating of gloss. All in all I looked good. Downing the last of my drink I joined the others who had all gathered in the lounge and was currently playing a game on the X-BOX.
"Dudes we ready to party?" I asked perching myself on the arm of the couch next to Owen who glanced up at me.
"Looking good Zee, Looking good." He winked.
"Get a grip." I rolled my eyes and play shoved him. With a chuckle he got to his feet.
"You love it sweetheart, don't deny it." I flipped him off and turned to see Hay walk in she wore her red skinny jeans a black lace vest top a studded belt and her new rock boots and beanie hat which her vibrant red hair wavy hair flowed from. Her make up was simple. Smoky gradient style shadow lined with a flick and her ruby red lipstick.
"Speaking of looking good. Whit whoo Hay. Whit whoo." I said causing her to blush and grin like a maniac.
"Thanks Hun, you too." She replied
"Right calling a cab so wrap it up Bolt." Owen informed him as he pulled his phone from his pocket.
