Tell Me A Lie In A Beautiful Way (Avenged Sevenfold)

Chapter 40

Matt's POV

"She's here." Brian snapped, pushing his way through all the people who were hanging backstage.

"What?" I muttered, glaring at him and everyone else. "Who's here?"

"That fucking Desiree bitch." He snapped, stopping in front of me. "She's out there." He said pointing to where the crowd was gathering. "Oh and you know she's gonna be front and centre when we play."

"She's here?" I snapped, looking at him.

"You bet your fucking ass she is." Brian hissed. "And she's standing out there with a smug fucking smile on her face."

"Oh I gotta see her." I told him. "Show me which one."

He nodded and walked closer to the edge of the stage, I followed him, cursing the bitch in my head.

"Her." He said pointing out.

I looked, there were actually a few people out there and I wasn't absolutely sure which one he was pointing too. "Which one?"

"The one who's about four foot tall idiot." He hissed at me.

I looked and caught sight of a small girl with a camera around her neck. So this was the famous Desiree. She didn't look very terrifying.

I couldn't help but laugh. "Seriously." I laughed. "That's her?"

Brian rolled his eye's at me. "Yes that's old venom tongue."

"She looks kind of harmless." I muttered, still looking out at her.

"Yeah well we both know she's not." Brian said, turning around from the stage. "Thank fuck." He mumbled under his breath and I watched as he made his way over to Dani who had just arrived.

I watched them kiss for a second, then I looked around, wondering where Kat was. I wanted to point out Desiree to her, and well I just kind of wanted to see her.

"Hey." I said approaching Dani and Brian, interrupting there passionate moment. "Where's Kat?"

Dani looked at me, frowning. "She's not coming." She told me. "I thought she called you."

"No she didn't call me." I snapped, pissed at the prospect of Kat not coming.

God I needed her here, especially now that Desiree bitch was out the front. Kat kept me sane, she kept me grounded so how the fuck was I going to perform tonight without her?

"Yeah she's been sick." Dani explained. "Throwing up."

I nodded, not replying, walking away and pulling out my phone.

I pressed Kat's number, then put the phone to my ear, listening to it ring.

Hi this is Kat. Leave a message and I might call you back.

"Babe it's me." I said softly into the phone. "What's wrong? You should have called me, anyway I'll call again later."

I hung up frowning. I guessed she was in bed, resting, but fuck, was I selfish to want her here with me.

"She didn't sound great when I spoke to her." Dani said softly walking over to where I was standing. "So maybe she's sleeping."

I nodded. She was probably right, she probably was sleeping, but still, I wanted her here.

"Well hey there handsome."

I turned around and couldn't believe my fucking eye's. Victoria was standing here, backstage and looking smug.
