Natural Selection (Charlotte/OC Fanfiction)

One Last Time

It was a few weeks after the carnival and Brandon were almost ready to be cleared to wrestle again. Brandon no longer needed his arm in a sling and was done with the painkillers. Brandon decided to fly home to see his family while Charlotte was in Ann Arbor, Michigan for Smackdown Live. While Brandon was home he got his entire right arm and neck tattooed, got a few piercings, and touched upon his guitar skills. Brandon was doing metal covers of Panic! and the Disco songs, warming up for what he had planned for tonight. He was going to play with his band one last time during the encore. he bought two tickets to the show and was planning on Becky to take Charlotte to the show. Brandon packed his bag and guitar into his car at the start his trip to Ann Arbor. He looked down at his phone to see that Charlotte has texted him.

Charlotte: Hey babe, I miss you so much. 

Brandon: I miss you too. We will see each other soon.

Charlotte: I miss sleeping next to you.

Brandon: I miss being with you. I got to go, see ya soon.

Charlotte: I hope.

Brandon put his phone away and started his car to drive to Ann Arbor.

Charlotte put her phone down on the table of her hotel room. She missed sleeping with Brandon, but she knew that she will be able to see him soon. Her thoughts got interrupted by a knock on her door. Charlotte got up and opened the door to see Becky standing there, holding a card in her hand.

Charlotte:"Hey Becky, what's that?"

Becky didn't say anything and just handed Charlotte the card. Charlotte opened the card and there were two tickets to a concert and the card that said "So you can see what did before wrestling! - Honey Bear" Charlotte smiled and looked at Becky.

Becky:"Wanna go see who he played with went he was 17?"

Charlotte:"Yeah, when is it?"

Becky:"Tonight, in an hour and a haft."

=One Hour Later=

Brandon pulled up behind the arena the old band was playing. He grabbed his guitar and ran inside. The concert was almost over when Brandon got to the dressing room. Brandon quickly changed into the outfit that he had to wear tonight. By the time he was ready the main show had ended the guitarist left the stage and walked into Brandon.

Brandon:"Sup Max."

Max:"Sup Brandon."

Brandon handed his guitar to a stage worker for him to set it up. The stage worker ran backstage and told Brandon it was ready and had to wait for the lights to go out.

The lights went out before the encore started. The fans in the crowd were confused with what was happening. Charlotte and Becky started to ask each other what was happening when there was a loud bang. Lights came on to reveal that the Bloodhound sign got replaced with a "The Masters of Mayhem" sign and the band and Brandon standing with their heads down. The fans were cheering as Brandon started to play one of their old songs. Charlotte was surprised to see Brandon on stage. The song had started and Brandon going along with the song. After a few minutes, the song ended and they went right into another song.

Becky:"Get ready to hear Brandon sing."

Charlotte:"Really?"

Becky:"Yep, the only song Brandon sings in"

Charlotte and Becky were waiting to hear Brandon sing. They waited and waited until they saw Brandon approach the mic.

Brandon:"Cause you need to burn it all.
Before you get caught up, you fuck.
You need to burn it all.
Before we start running amuck."

Charlotte was rocking out while Becky took a picture of Brandon on stage. She tweeted the picture with the caption; "Guess he missed his band!" Brandon stepped up on a small bench and did a backflip off of it.

Charlotte:"Jesus. I didn't know he could to that."

Becky:"What? A backflip? Yeah, he can do it."

They watched as Brandon continued to headbutt and jumped around. they waited until the last song. Charlotte had realized that Brandon got his right arm and neck tattooed. She was focused on Brandon that she wasn't really listening to the music. She snapped out of focus when Brandon and the other guitarist switched sides so Brandon was close to her. The band started the last song which was a cover of Shinedown's Cut the Cord, which was Brandon's theme. The song started and Brandon started singing, both Charlotte and Becky were surprised to hear Brandon sing.

As the song came to the end, the band signed off and went backstage. Becky and Charlotte left the arena and started walking to the car.

Charlotte:"Did you know Brandon was doing that?"

Becky:"Yep, I knew. Did you like the surprise?"

Charlotte:"Yep, but now I just want to sleep with him."

Becky:"Yeah, "sleep" with him"

Charlotte:"Yeah."

Becky looked at her wide-eyed. Charlotte just smirked at her.
