Beautiful Disaster (Book 2)

Beast And The Harlot

Willow's P.O.V.

After the Rev talked to me the other night Brian and I had been avoiding one another. It was July 30th and after tonight's show we would be going back to the good US of A. Pontiac, MI was the next venue and I was pretty excited. It wasn't like I was trying to avoid him at all costs it just worked that way. A few weeks went by without us saying a word to one another. Not that it bothered me any. I just stayed to myself writing in my song book to pass the time. I was mainly getting drunk and partying with the other bands. Warped tour was almost over as my time with all the bands was coming to a close. I got dressed in a hurry then walked off the bus. As soon as I turned to my left I wanted to run away. Brian was sitting down smoking a cigarette then he looked up at me. I smiled at him as I put my other arm behind me. "Hi Brian," I said as I took out a cigarette from my pack then lit it. "Hey Willow, seems like you've been avoiding me. The tours halfway over with," I nodded taking a puff then exhaling. "What made it seem like that? And I know." He shrugged as he exhaled, "other than the fact that you hide and shit when you see me, nothin. I wanted to try and get to know you, I'm sorry Will." I leaned against Brians shoulder as I took a puff. "You can get to know me now Brian.. I'm not going to bite you or anything." He leaned his head against mine too, "I figured that sweetheart. Just didn't know if you'd let me approach you again or not." As soon as Brian said those words an excruciating migraine came on. A few minutes later it was gone again. I felt exhausted but I kept smoking my cig. "Ya know Raven and The Rev have hit it off." I nodded again, "oddly enough Raven tells me everything. Even if I don't want to know it. I knew Rev and Raven would hit it off. Their personalities are too much alike." Brian put out his cigarette out then stood up. "So we have to hit it off too, yeah?" I shrugged smiling at him as I put mine out also. "Depends on if you can act right long enough to catch me. I've been through a lot in relationships and I'm just not ready to put a label on anything." Brian nodded taking my hand, "trust me I won't do anything to hurt you." I nodded as I took his hand. Then I heard the dreaded noise all of us didn't want to hear. "If Beautiful Disaster will please head to the main stage we will begin warped tour eh." Brian and I laughed together as we walked to the stage.

After we played Avenged Sevenfold went on at another stage a little bit later than we did. I told Avalon and Elektra I wanted to watch them. Neither one of them had any objections. Once we got to the stage we stood at the back to not draw any attention to ourselves. They played City of Evil Tracks and before we all knew it they were done for the night. At the back of the venue other bands were partying. Avalon followed me back to the bus to get our cooler. On our way back to the party we ended up running into a guy. I mean he was in our way completely but we decided to ignore it. Avalon almost screamed when she realized who it was. Pete Wentz was standing right in front of us and Avalon was fan girling too hard. "I'm sorry about that I wasn't paying attention, you are?" He asked as he smiled at us, "I'm Raven Woods, drummer of Beautiful Disaster and this is the lead singer-" Pete smiled at me, "Grey Thornbird. Ive heard a lot about you, it's nice to finally meet the both of you. If you'll excuse me I'm trying to find my stage." He said as he jogged off, "he knew all about you didn't he?" Avalon said as we picked back up the cooler. I rolled my eyes as we started walking again. "And honestly Ava, I couldn't careless. I'm more focused on someone else. But you on the other hand have gotten used to the Rev being around haven't ya?" She stopped talking immediately, "shut up. Let's get some alcohol in you before Syn gets here." We both started laughing soon we saw the boys and I took a couple of Everclear shots with Brian. We ended up talking most of the night until around 12:30. Brian was a sweet guy and my heart had a soft place for him. We danced some, more like I danced on him. But he felt so familiar like I was supposed to be with him. I didn't ignore my gut but I wanted Brian. Trying to keep up with the boys was tough. I ended up sleeping on the avenged sevenfold tour bus the next morning heading to Michigan. When I say those boys are ruthless I mean it. I woke up with the biggest migraine. I looked around the room noticing it wasn't the back of our tour bus, it was the back of the avenged sevenfold bus. I looked down at myself to see that I still I had my clothes on. I wiped my forehead quickly before I got up and pulled my hair into a tight pony tail. I put my vans on and silently closed the door. I unlocked my phone to see a bunch of texts from Avalon and Elektra. They were flipping their shit, I guess I would too when your lead singer ditches you. I shoved it back in my pocket then looked ahead of me. The sun was out so hopefully we were almost to Michigan. I tried sneaking past the bunk bed but it didn't work when I ran into a shirtless M. Shadows. I fell on the floor hard and rubbed my ass. "Well I didn't know you were in here Grey." I looked up at Shads, he wasn't bad looking at all. "Well I acci-" "GREY?!" I heard Rev yell, "god dammit." I said as I face palmed myself Rev jumped out of his bunk bed then walked over to me. "I suppose Syn gave you some lovin'?" Rev said as he nudged me, "y'all really are ruthless. And no he didn't, I just passed out here. Are we almost to Michigan?" I asked Shads as I sat down at the table. "Almost, about another 4 hours." He answered and I smacked my forehead on the table. "Goddd 4 more hours of this?" Rev had Johnny in a head lock messing with his hair. "Fucking quit Rev I'm gonna hit you!" Johnny yelled, Shads nodded. "This is an all the time thing. Nothing new Grey," I smacked the table with my face again.
