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

Chapter 48

Matt's POV

"You forgot your shoes." Kat stated, walking into the bedroom and holding up a pair of my shoes.

"Fuck." I muttered, taking them off her and putting them in my suitcase.

"What is wrong Matt?" She asked, putting her hands on her hips. "You're mind just isn't on the job."

I looked at her standing there and frowned. "Can't you just come today?" I asked her and I wanted her to fly with me today, now.

She smiled at me and I wasn't sure what the fuck she was smiling at. "Matt I'll be there tomorrow." She said softly, stepping closer to me.

I sighed. "I know Kat." I said pulling her into my arm's. "I just want you to come now."

"I'll do my shift in the morning and I'll be there by dinner." She said softly.

"I know." I sighed, really really wishing she didn't have to work in the morning.

"Are you okay?" She asked, looking up at me.

"Yeah I'll be okay." I murmured burying my face in her hair. "It's just Desiree is flying up with us today and I would have felt better about it if you were with me."

"Just be polite." Kat said softly, caressing the back of my neck. "You don't have to be friends with her, hell you don't even have to talk to her, just smile and sit down."

"I know." I mumbled into her neck. "But I'll miss you anyway."

"For one night." She whispered and yeah it was one night but it kind of felt like forever to me. "Now finish packing so I can get you to the airport on time."

I nodded and went back to my packing. Kat had already packed and like she said she was flying up tomorrow, I just knew I'd feel better about Desiree being there if Kat was by my side.

I eventually finished packing then put my bags in the car before going inside and checking that everything was locked up properly. Yeah Kat would be here tonight but I wanted my wife to be safe. I hated her being here alone.

"Ready?" She asked appearing in the door and smiling widely at me.

"I guess." I mumbled.

"Matthew." She snapped. "For god sake, you love this, you're opening for Metallica for fuck sake, that's fucking exciting, now act like it."

"I'll act like it when you're there tomorrow." I said walking towards the door.

"Okay." She said softly and I turned around to face her, pulling her to me and kissing her softly.

"I love you.": I murmured against her lips and I felt her lips curve against mine into a smile.

"I love you." She murmured, kissing me.

We stood there for another few minutes kissing but eventually we had to leave for the airport.

Kat drove and I held her hand looking out the window, sulking a little that she wasn't coming with me now. I hated her fucking job and I hoped she quit it soon.

We made it in plenty of time and made our way to the private lounge where the other's and Larry were standing there, already waiting.

I glanced around inconspicuously. "Well where's her fucking majesty?" I asked them all.

Larry frowned at me. "She's on the plane already, waiting." He said sternly.

"Fuck me." Zack hissed. "We aren't even good enough to be seen with."

"Apparently." Brian snapped, avoiding Dani who was glaring at him.

"Alright you ass wipes." Larry snapped. "Try and act like human's, now let's get going."

I turned to Kat and leant over, kissing her cheek quickly. "See you tomorrow." I told her.

She frowned a little then nodded. "Yep, see you tomorrow."

I turned toward the door the other's were going through and I had this urge to grab Kat's hand and drag her onto the plane with me, but I didn't, I just followed the other's to the plane.

I didn't know what happened, but by the time I boarded the plane Larry was sitting there looking like he had something up his ass, Brian was red in the face and close to exploding and Desiree was sitting there with headphone's in her ears.

"Nice." I muttered to myself, taking my seat.

Apparently we weren't even good enough to acknowledge. She wanted to act like an uppity bitch, well I'd treat her like an uppity bitch.

Fuck Kat told me to be polite, smile and say hello, and I was planning on doing just that, but that Desiree bitch had shut us down. Well fuck her.

The flight was pretty quiet, all of us glaring out the window, all of us thinking. I had a drink and on more than one occasion I considered just getting up and pouring my drink on Desiree Somer's head, but I refrained, only just.

What had we ever done to her? Nothing, not a damn thing, but she hated us, boy did she hate us. Over the years she had never written one good thing about us, not one. I wanted to grab her and ask her what her fucking problem was and why, if we were that fucking bad, did she agree to work on this tour with us? It made no fucking sense to me. Well maybe it did a little, obviously the money was to good to refuse.

I sat there brooding for the rest of the flight and honestly, it was the quietest flight I'd ever been on with my friends. I guess we were all a little pissed, even Johnny. The only one who didn't look pissed was Brooks, but Desiree had never talked shit about him. Yet.

We eventually all piled off the plane and once again Miss High and Mighty waited until we were off before joining us. Unfortunately she had to share the mini bus to the hotel with us and I must say I was pretty sure it was the most uncomfortable trip she'd ever been on. It didn't bother me at all, she deserved it, all of it.

We got to the hotel and got our room keys. We had some sort of business meeting tonight. Larry was making us go, but I sure as fuck didn't want to sit there and look at her while I ate.

As soon as I got settled in my room I called Kat, to let her know we'd arrived safely.

"So." She said. "How is she? Is she as bad as you thought?"

"Worse." I muttered. "Miss Somer's thinks she's something special and she needs to be brought down a peg or two."

"Matt." Kat said softly. "Don't do anything silly."

I closed my eye's, pinching the bridge of my nose. "I just wish you were here."

And I did, I really did wish she was here. Kat was my world, she kept me grounded and she kept me sane. I just really needed her right now.
