Black Veil Brides- My Journey

Chapter One

Charlie's POV

Late again, I said to myself as I ran out the door, my bag over my left shoulder and the money in my right hand. I saw the bus rumble down the road to the shop and and I sighed knowing that I would have to run to work in the rain, again.

When I burst in my boss's steely eyes met mine and I new I was a lost cause; he approached, snatching the money from my right hand and grabbed me by the wrist. He pulled me into the back room where I saw Cally and Vic sitting looking quite withdrawn. As he released me I knew I had to sit down, so I did.

"What do you have to say for you self?" his voice croaky, "third time this week, I know your younger than this lot but you should have more.."

"Jeff for god sake she's fifteen, she should be in school! It's outrageous! You expect so much from her. You abuse her forcing her to work all week, teaching her to tattoo! She barely has any education!" Raged Vic butting in and leaning forward in her chair as she did so.

Cally nodded in agreement; both seemed to have had enough of Jeff ordering them about recently. I felt like saying I didn't mind being out of school as it is away from all the discrimination but I kept quiet and lent back in my chair slightly, letting my black fringe fall from behind my ears and across my forehead.

Jeff gave a gentle growl before starting to speak, "I need the money more than she needs the education, she is a fine girl as she is," and as he said this he rested his large paw-like hand on my shoulder. I didn't like this. Vic rose from her chair and went to open the door of the tattoo shop as the first costumer entered. Cally, however, remained where she was, staring at Jeff with mixed emotions of anger and shame.

"Well, you shouldn't be shouting at her like that any way. If you wanted a better fifteen year old there are plenty in the streets waiting for a job."

At this she got up off her chair and went into the shop. I knew that this reference was to her younger brother Tony who would die to come and work with her in the shop.

Despite Tony's constant pleading, Jeff refused to let him work and instead gave the work to me, a lonely 'gothic emo' child who lives with her only living relative in a run-down house on the edge of the district.

A few seconds of awkward silence passed, and Johni finally went to see how Cally was doing. Vic, although she had always been very quiet, she had been like my older sister. There had never been a time when we had disagreed and I know she'll always be there for me when my aunt isn't- which is all the time.

Another man entered the shop and I went through to see if I could earn my keep; without looking up I sat in the leather chair behind the desk and said hi and my what is called 'husky' voice.

Suddenly I realised that Cally, Vic, Jeff and Drake (another tattooist who works for Johni) where all gathered around me almost expectant, as if something amazing was happening and I was meant to contribute. I looked up and yes, something amazing did happen, whether I contributed was another story.

Hope you are enjoying the story so far, sorry for the way I have just thrown you in without any information about the main character but your understanding will improve throughout this fanfiction. What I have planned is quiet detailed though I will try my best to keep it good quality as well. I am keeping the chapters around this size but they may vary so I apologise in advance.

And all the characters mentioned so far (Charlie,Jeff,Vic,Cally,Drake) are my own and any character that is not my own is a real life person.

ChapterTwo

Still Charlie's POV

He wore black skinnies and black vest top exposing his sleeves of monumental tattoos. In his hand he held an iPhone with a Batman case and a packet of cigarettes. He looked around 6'3 and could easily reach the ceiling if he wasn't slouching. When I lifted my head his beautiful blue eyes met my grey ones and he smiled. Two seconds later a second male entered wearing leather tight pants and a studded rebel jacket. He was a lot shorter than the first, though wore more make up and seemed slightly withdrawn.

I was finding it hard to contain my excitement when the taller of the two started to speak;

"I've come to get something done," Andy Biersack said in his low voice.

At this he indicated to a small space on his left wrist. At this point Jinxx moved forward and stood next to Andy and looked up smiling at Vic. When the guys came in she had dismissed her other client.

She grinned back; Vic and I had always shared a vast love for Black Veil Brides and their music ever since we met when I started working with Jeff (age 14 1/2) When we had WiFi, we would use her second-hand IPad 3 to watch Bryan Stars interviews and music videos on YouTube. Although we didn't get to do it often (as our breaks were short) we had so much fun laughing at Andy's answers to Bryan's questions and singing lyrics. Jeff opened his mouth to speak. Nothing came out. Everyone seemed very stunned at the two people who stood before them.

Apart from me; as I always seem to differ from everyone considered normal. I was excited! I couldn't wait for my sister (we are not related) to tattoo Andy Biersack!!! As Drake and Cally went to prepare our best station near the centre of the shop, Vic flicked through the designs Andy had brought with him. She was completely awe-struck. Jeff left my side and went into the back room and called my name twice.

As you could imagine, I stayed in the chair behind the desk, my eyes fixed on Andy's face. He seemed slightly annoyed, bothered by something. Jinxx on the other hand, hand resumed to standing in his mate's shadow. Vic looked as if she was about to cry. I placed my hand on top of hers and asked if she was alright; I knew she wasn't as she left as Jeff did, leaving the BVB tattoo designs on the desk in front of me. They looked pretty simple, like some of the ones I had done on paper for my training.

Jinxx nudged Andy and he sighed in disgusted. After pacing for another 3 seconds they both walked towards the door of the shop which had been left open. Rain was pouring outside (typical England) and it had seemed to had effected everyone in a negative way today. No; they couldn't leave.

"Wait!" I said standing up from my chair knocking over a drink and a load of ornaments that where on the desk. This created a lot of noise causing the blokes to turn around. I held up the designs and said something that I should have got told off for, though some how got away with.

"I'll do it for you..."

My voice trailed off at the end of my statement and I slowly lowered my hand as both, Andy and Jinxx came back in and eyed me curiously. I hadn't noticed that it was only me and them in the shop until I sat down at the station with Andy opposite me and Jinxx peering over my shoulder.

Drake and Cally must have exited when Jeff did because there was no sign of them. I began by observing the plans on the paper which I had place next to Andy's left wrist. It lay completely still in front of me and I had a childish urge inside me to grab it and wave it around shouting 'I HAVE ANDY BIERSACK NAH NAH NA NA NAH !!!'

Though I resisted and, without doing all the professional lining up and pre-inking I began to tattoo. I have to admit, for my first real tattoo without assistance, it turned out amazing.

Just how he wanted, I smiled.
