Beach Waves (Johnnie Guilbert FanFic)

Chapter 10

I sing them a song I wrote when I was thirteen. I made it listening to Saviour by them and I wrote it for my friend Devan and Tarah because they were suicidal and I was a wreck. Writing the song helped. Somehow, it was the only song that popped into my head.

"As I rise you out of battle

A demon dies and buries

You the ruler of them all."

I finish and they all stare at me with drool practically hanging out of their mouth.

"Jesus you guys, I'm not that good." I roll my eyes. They fix themselves.

"How are you not a musician?" Jake asks.

"I'm moving to Los Angeles tomorrow for singing. I think I might solo or be in a band. Haven't decided yet." I shrug.

"Guys! We've found the new lead vocalist of Black Veil Brides! Bye Andy!" CC says with a wide grin and waves bye to Andy's face. Andy laughs.

"Yeah right. You guys love me too much and I love you all too much to leave." He chuckles.

"Actually guys, I have an idea." Jinxx says. We all turn to him. He grins.

"I think that Johnnie and Ariel should both sing a song together on stage."

I stare at Johnnie. His face brightens and he grins at me. I go up and hug him tightly, breathing in his scent. Sweat and cologne. Sounds gross right? No. It smells really good.

"You want to?" He asks me.

"Of course I do." I say, kissing him on the cheek.

Before I know it, I'm coughing and leaving the bus. My heart is racing. Thoughts race through my mind as I try to breathe. Why do I have to like Johnnie? I won't really see him again. I'm sure he doesn't like me. Besides, he'll forget about me after tour anyway. All of these guys will.

I shuffle through my bag for my allergy meds since that bus is dust city. The guys come out minutes later and see that I'm quite literally dying. They give me space and water before I can breathe again and we walk to the stage.

"You allergic to air?" Johnnie jokes. I give him a look but with a smile.

"Dust. Cannot breathe in there." He shrugs and takes me hand as we walk, sending butterflies to my stomach.

The guys lead us to the stage. We chat for a bit before they go on stage. Johnnie takes me and we stand just at the side of the stage, watching. As Johnnie stands behind me, I lean back into him, resting the back of my head on his shoulder. He wraps his arms around my belly. I listen to the sweet sound of the instruments. Each strum and hit pours into me. The vibration flutters against my skin. Before I know it, Andy is asking us to the stage. I escape his grasp and tell him to stay before walking to Andy. I wave to the crowd and grab the microphone from Andy.

"What can we play?" Jake asks. I tell him and he goes and grabs an acoustic from behind.

"Hi guys. I'm Ariel. We're going to play a song for you all. A song that hasn't been heard in a long time. This song isn't for a girl in a past relationship, but for a boy in my present life. This song is called The Mortician's Daughter." I say. The look on Andy's face made me cringe, but he nodded and understood. He mouthes something to me that I don't understand till the end of the song.

Play this song like it was coming from your heart.

I did just that.

I just want to add that I DID IN FACT WRITE A SONG WITH THOSE LYRICS! I DO OWN THESE LYRICS!
