Bury The Hatchet

Chapter 16

The bus screeched then came to a stop, letting me know that we have arrived at our first stop. "Ughh" I groaned getting up from my bunk and walking to the living area to see Robert and Matt playing the game.
"Shads when did you get here?" I questioned him "oh when we stopped to get food Robert asked if I wanted to get in a few rounds of zombies and you know I couldn't resist" he smiled his dimpled filled smile and I rolled my eyes. "Men" I teased "you said it sister!" Jimmy said putting his hands on his hips in a girly manor.

"Jesus fucking Christ Jimbo you almost gave me a heart attack" I said clutching my chest "are all of the sevenfold guys on our bus?" I laughed.

"No just Matt and I because Zacky, Johnny and Brian are all passed out." Jimmy responded plopping down on the couch.

"Well we've got about an hour until show time boys, I'm gonna start getting ready." I went to the bathroom and turned the shower on, before I stepped in I made sure the door was locked because privacy is pretty much none existent when it comes to the guys in my band.

I laughed when I subconsciously thought about the time Robert came and took a piss while I showered and held a full conversation with me.

I didn't stay in the shower for long because hot water is very limited on a bus, so quickly I washed myself and rinsed off before the water could get cold.

I wrapped myself in a big white towel and made my way back to the bunk area. Before any of the guys got a chance to see the good I put on my bra and panties.

"Hmm what to wear? What to wear?" I said out loud putting a finger to my bottom lip. After a few minutes of thinking I came to a conclusion, a Black cropped style shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans with a slit in the back under my butt.

I grabbed my makeup bag and made a b line for the bathroom. Quickly I did my hair and makeup before the guys could complain about us being pressed for time.

I put on my black vans and stepped off the bus to check out the venue.
When I opened the door I forgot to check if there was anybody behind the door and I ended up pinning max between the bus and the door.

"Holy shit Maxwell are you okay" I said in the most concerned voice ever. He didn't say anything all he did was laugh "I'm fine Brook" he said his voice sounded a little higher then usual.

That's when I really took a good look at him, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Except his eyes were low and blood shot red "for the love of God Max your higher then a damn kite aren't you?" I sighed crossing my arms and tilting my head to the side.

"Relax Brook it's only some good ole Mary Jane" he laughed again and I felt a sense of relief wash over me.

"As long as your only high on weed I guess we're done here just don't scare me like that again" he pulled me in for a hug and I let out a huge sigh.

"What's the matter? Aren't you happy we're touring with Sevenfold?" He was so delusional "yeah that's great and all I just still don't understand why you broke up with me Max. You didn't even give me an explanation you pretty much said "it's over" and hung up the phone.

He cupped my face in his hands and made it so I was staring at him in the eyes.
"I know you still love Brian babe, you don't have to deny it. And I completely understand he's the father of your kid, but my heart can't take that kind of pain so I broke it off before it got any worse. But I am in love with you Brooklyn so if it doesn't work out I'll be here forever and always."

"Max you've got it all wrong Brian is engaged" I defended myself, he let out a small laugh.
"Like I said you know where to find me if shit goes south babe. Now come on we've got a show to do" he interlocked his fingers with mine and we walked hand in hand into the arena.

"Are you two back at it?" Matt's eyes lit up once he saw us together.

"Nah" Max said before he let go of my hand and kissed my forehead "I'm gonna have the tech guy tune up my bass for me see you out there gorgeous."

"Alright" I smiled watching him walk away "so exactly what's stopping you from dating him" Matt said as he leaned against the merchandise table.

"Nothing he just does-" Matt cut me off by laughing "bullshit Brookie you still love Bri, I understand he is the father of that precious child of yours. But just remember the day of our party when I was on top of Brian beating the shit out of him for hurting you."

"Hey guys! Now before we start the show I would like to publicly apologize to the Escape the fate but mostly their lead singer. Brooklyn we're all very sorry for what happened nothing should be able to come between us again." Matt said getting all the fans to cheer even louder.

Escape the fate just finished their set but that didn't stop me from running on stage and hugging all the guys.

"Well since your already out here how about you sing a few songs with us?" Zack suggested "yeah" Jimmy chimed in.

"What do ya say Brook you wanna share the stage with me tonight?" Matt said giving me his best puppy face ever.

It didn't take long for me to crack "what the hell" I said into the microphone.

"Alright Sacramento are you ready for us to rock your fucking faces! This song is actually a twisted love song. It's about death and sex some more death and a little more sex. This one is called a little piece of heaven" Matt said as the music stared to play.

After a few songs I ran off the stage to get something to drink.
"Hey there..."

Who I turned around to see made my entire world stop.
