Mourning Star (Sequel to Unbroken)

And the Grip on My Sanity is Starting to Fade...

(((THREE MONTHS LATER)))

I sigh as I lay in Blade’s bed.  He has insisted on me sleeping in his room with him every night, which means I can’t really move unless necessary. 

I swear, over the past three months my stomach looks like it is about to pop.  What is worse is that I am constantly hungry and bored. 

I grab my phone and send a text to Blade, who went out with BVB to some interview. 

To Blade <3:

Can you pick up some Pineapple Fanta and dill pickles plzzz?!

I set my phone down and listen to Fit for Rivals play from Blade’s iPod dock.  My phone starts to sing “All my Heart” by SWS.

From Blade <3:

You scared me! I thought something was wrong!

Yeah, anything else?

Luv u

I laugh at the thought of his phone singing “Serial Killer Girl” by SNWP and him freaking out.

(BLADE’S POV)

Dad and I drove over to an abandoned gymnasium, where we were going to do a Bryan Starzzz interview with the band. 

I laugh and joke along with everyone, almost forgetting all of my worries with Blake.

“So, Blade.  Andy tells me you and Blake are back together, what’s up with that?” Bryan wiggles his eyebrows.

“Yes, for about a year now.  I don’t plan on letting her go this time,” I wink.  “Besides, can’t leave her to raise two kids by herself, now can I?”

“No way! Little Biersack got it in!” Bryan jokes.  We all laugh, however it is forced. 

“Hey!

Hey!

This is murder, GO!

Hey, pretty girl let's have a party tonight

I'll be your Frankenstein and you love at first sight

'Cause you're a graveyard digge-“

I frantically pull out my phone as “Serial Killer Girl” by SNWP starts to play, which is Blake’s ringtone.  I look at the text and sigh with relief. 

“Ooh! Who was that Bladey?” Bryan asks.

“My lovely girlfriend,” I smile.

“What is she craving this time?” CC asks, causing us all to laugh.

“Pineapple Fanta and Dill Pickles,”

“At least it isn’t marshmallow fluff and nachos,” Dad shrugs. 

“Have you guys gotten names yet?” Bryan asks me.

“We are actually naming them after Blade’s mother and husband.  The girl will be Legacy Hope and the boy will be Kyle Dream.  Legacy was Carter’s middle name and Kyle was Ashley’s,” I say.

“That’s awesome.  I can still say right now that I miss those two.  They left us too soon,” Bryan says. 

“Yeah, Carter knew how to help so many people.  I have noticed this quality in Blake as we have seen her grow.  Sure, having no mother or father is hard, but she got through it.  Carter and Ashley will be-and still are- missed, but we all know that wherever they are, they are together,” Dad says.  I nod.

“And if anyone does feel that suicide is the answer, look up Unbroken Outcasts and give them a listen.  You won’t regret it.  If you didn’t know, the lead singer, Carter Paws/Black suffered from depression, anorexia, and anxiety.  She lost her father and her husband to depression when it all finally got too much and they committed suicide.  Carter was also abused and neglected,” Jake said before looking to Jinxx.

“The bass player, War Black, id Carter’s younger brother.  He was neglected by his mother after their Dad died.  He met his husband at the age of fourteen and was kicked out of his home by his grandparents because he was gay.  Ashley’s mother and father took him in like they took Carter in,” Jinxx said before looking to CC.

“Anthony is War’s husband.  He was abused by his father behind his mother’s back because he was gay.  He was severely bullied and found love in beating the drums.  He and War have a 22 year old daughter named Snow right now, who is dating Blake’s best friend, Katt.  Those two girls are the cutest things ever!”  CC added.

“Meri, oh my wonderful Meri.  She was the only one who grew up with two parents that both loved her.  She was very popular as a teen, but still hung out with Carter.  They knew each other since they were in Kindergarten, and treated each other like sisters.  She loved to play guitar, but normally only played pop songs because she didn’t like the music their band played!” Ashley chuckled. 

“Ashley grew up in a home like Meri’s, but was severely bullied outside of school.  The day he met Carter, he was contemplating suicide.  He took Carter home that night, the first night they met, and practically saved her from her bitch of a mother.  They married a year later and Carter was pregnant with triplet’s right as tour started.  Carter’s mum came and severely injured Carter, killing the triplets.  Ash was so devastated he got drunk and overdosed,” Dad finished. 

The rest of the interview was carefree and happy.  Dad and I drove to the supermarket to get Blake’s goodies before driving home.  I went up to my room to see Blake passed out on the bed, Fit for Rivals playing softly from the dock.
