Bury The Hatchet

Chapter 18

It's been a few days since the incident with Brian and he hasn't spoken to me since.

Escape the fate just finished their set and I was watching the sevenfold guys preform, soon enough their set was over and everyone headed back to the Escape the Fate bus for drinks.

"Kick ass show tonight guys this is turning out to be a pretty bad ass tour!" Matt said throwing his cup into the air.

"Yeah!" We all screamed following Matt's lead, he was right the fans loved it we were having an awesome time doing what we love.

"Hey I was thinking you and Matt should totally sing a cover to Aerosmith's dream on at our next show." Max said.

"Dream on, Dream on" Matt sang "can you hit the high note Brook? My voice is way too deep" he chuckled.

"Dream on, Dream on, Dream on, ohhhhhhhh" I screamed "yeah Brook" Matt clapped.

For the rest of the night we all talked and laughed and just enjoyed each other's company. Well all of us except Brian so I decided to be the bigger person and talk to him.

"Hey Bri can I t-t-talk to you o-outside" shit I'm drunk this isn't gonna end well, he didn't say anything he just led the way outside.

"So why haven't you spoken to me in the last week?" I said leaning against the bus for support.

He let out a huge sigh before he downed what was left in his cup and tossed it over his shoulder.
"Why do you think Brooklyn?" I rolled my eyes "well if I knew Gates I wouldn't be asking" I challenged.

"Well I don't know maybe it had something to do with you and Brock being all over each other right in front of my face." His voice grew a little louder I could tell he was becoming frustrated.

"What! Brian your getting married next month and your worried about what I'm doing? You seriously have your priorities fucked up man." I shouted and he seemed taken back.

"Well sorry if I just wanted my family together" he shot back throwing his hands into the air.

"Oh poor Brian now he wants to make it right after four years." I said.

"Well at least you were there for those four years, shit I didn't even know I had a kid until a few months ago."

"Brian I did it to protect my child you can't possibly still be mad" I huffed.

"Protect her from what? Her real dad and not just somebody she calls dad? I think you Brooklyn are the one with the fucked up priorities."

He was right I shouldn't have kept Aj from him for so long, I didn't say anything else instead I turned around and walked away.

"Where are you going it's two in the morning and you have no idea where your going Brook" Brian called out.

I just ignored him and kept walking I needed sometime to think.

Brian's p.o.v

Shit! I ran back inside the bus "Matt come on we gotta go get Brook she ran off." I panicked "what do you mean she ran off" I know Matt totally wanted to rip my head off.

"I mean that we were talking and things got a bit heated and she ran off."

"You stupid prick and you didn't think to go after her!" He yelled at me Matt was so over protective of her she was definitely the little sister he always wanted but never got.

"No I'm drunk" I admitted quickly he grabbed his shirt off the table and pulled it over his body.

"I swear if she's hurt I'm going to kill you" he growled before we both ran off the bus.

Regular p.o.v

I've been walking for a little over an hour now so I decided to turn around and start making my way back to the bus.

I'm not cut out for this whole parenting thing Brian is right I'm a terrible at it. What kind of mother would even think to do what I've done? Oh that's right no mother. At the time it made sense, but now I regret my choices more and more everyday.

Flashback :

"Brook! Brook!" Max yelled from upstairs "what! What happened is Aj okay?" I started to freak "she's fine but here listen" he said coming into the kitchen with her.

"Okay Aj can you say it again for me?" Max asked the one and a half year old.

"Daddy" she giggled and my heart melted "oh my god"I said.

"Yeah babe I was feeding her and she just said it out of no where." Max was ecstatic, but my heart broke just a little.

"I'm gonna put Aj down for a nap babe" I nodded and Max kissed my cheek.

I sighed scrolling through the contacts on my phone "celebrity husband" I laughed at the name because I hadn't changed it since I met him when I was pregnant with Roman's baby. I pressed the call button and it rang twice.

"Hello?"

My heart dropped "uh hey Brian" I scratched the back of my neck "um actually this is Michelle, what do you want Brooklyn Brian isn't here." The tone in her voice made me roll her eyes.

"Um do you know when he'll be back it's important" I sighed rubbing my face with my hands.
"Actually he just left for tour, but I will be happy to deliver what ever message you have for my Brian." I could almost see the smirk on her smug little face.

"Well I'm just gonna come right out and say this, when Brian and I broke up I didn't know this but I was three months pregnant. So we have a child together she's beautiful her name is Aj."

She was silent for a little while "listen I've finally have the love my life back and I'm not going to tell him this just so he can go crawling back to you. So if that's all then I would like you never to call here again."

End of flashback.

I had been thinking for so long that when I came out of my thoughts I was standing in front of the bus.

"Hey guys" I said walking in "Matt, Brian she's back" Zacky yelled and the two men came flying out of the bunk area.

"Brook please you scared the shit out of me" Matt said as he engulfed me into his tattooed arms.

I don't know what came over me but I cried into his chest "what's the matter did someone hurt you" he growled rubbing the back of my head.

"No but listen, I told Michelle about Aj when she said her first words. I'm sorry that she never told you Brian it wasn't my fault I swear."

"You did?" Matt gasped "yes I did, her exact words were "I finally have the love of my life back I'm not going to tell him so he can go crawling back to you" I sobbed even harder, but Brian just looked mortified.

"Brian I told you that bitch is crazy!" Matt yelled.
