The Path To Heaven Runs Through Miles Of Clouded Hell

***2 Months Later***

I was still madly in love with dan. we were still together and they were still touring. dan stopped doing drugs and getting drunk every night after me and Daniel made that little plan.

As I went on tour with them I met 2 guys. Richard and another guy named Dan Howell but I called him Dowel so I wouldn't get confused. (I doubt she actually calls him that, im hust callin him dowel so you kniw the difference between both dans! any way back to the story☺) we started a band together and we do the opening act for Imagine Dragons every night.

We have recorded a few songs already. I enjoy being in a band and still being able to be with dan at all times. I'm still poor but we are slowly getting more popular because of Imagine Dragons. they are getting really big

They have 3 big hit singles off their new album Night Visions. there's Its Time, Demons, and Radioactive. their biggest hit is radioactive. but my favorite is Its Time because its helped me with my depression. its gotten better. i finally stopped self harming and i'm getting my life together.

Dan still gets depressed but not as often. he still struggles with anxiety. but when he is on stage he is a completely different person. he's scared of talking in front of crowds but with music it's different and I know what he means about that.

With music we communicate easily. nothing else is as strong as music. But when you straight up talk to a person you don't always completely understand each other.

Imagine Dragons are taking a week off from touring. dan and I went back to Vegas to our new house. its so big. it has like 6 rooms. its convenient though because the guys each have their own room to stay in on there little vacations. I mean not really vacations because they live with us. I mean not Ryan. he has his own house in Los Angeles.

We had two extra rooms so dan put their instruments in one room and the other is a guest room for when his parents come and visit.

I still haven't seen my mom and charley ever since I lost dans baby. I kinda miss her but I don't want to visit because of charley.

Dan came into the room and jumped on the bed "hey babe" "hey are the guys awake yet?"

"Nah you know them they like to sleep in! So... I was wondering. I know you miss your mom so why don't we visit her? I mean I know you don't want to see charley but I can protect you from him. so why not?"

"Ugh I guess if you want to take me"

"Of course! you go get ready while I make breakfast" "alright I love you" "love you to"

I went to go shower while dan made breakfast.

Dan's P.O.V.

I went to go make breakfast while Aja showered.

I made us both pancakes and eggs with sausage. that was Aja's favorite. (I have no idea what her favorite is but that's my favorite!)

I put them on the table.

"Breakfast is ready!" "alright I'm coming!" Aja walked down the stairs In a beautiful black dress with black heels I bought for her a while ago.

"Y-you look beautiful"

"Ugh don't flatter yourself, I don't look that good, I never do"

"What? you always look this good! your perfect"

Aja's P.O.V.

I chuckled and shoved him away

"Can we eat now?"

"Yeah" dan pulled out the chair for me and I sat down.

Daniel came down the stairs shortly after we sat down to eat.

"Hey guys! did you make me anything?"

"Dude make it yourself!"

I chuckled and went to the kitchen. I gave him a spatula.

"Here. use this to cook"

"Oh wow really?" I shook my head

"Ugh fine!"

We both laughed "ok so me and dan will be going out today so DONT burn the house down" "I won't you two go ahead and have fun!"

When dan and I arrived at my moms house we knocked on the door and of course as always charley answered.

"What are you doing here?" "my mother lives here" I sarcastically said.

Dan pushed him out of the way and we walked in

"Mom?!"

"Aja?" I saw my mom at the couch and I went to hug her.

"Where have you been?" "with dan duh"

She grabbed my hands and looked down.

"Holy crap! your engaged?!" "no I'm married" "WHAT?! You didn't even tell me?" "no because you don't even give a shit about me. I mean seriously I've been away for months and not once have you ever tried to find me!"

"Babe do you wanna go?" "no dan!" "sorry! god!" "no I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell at you"

He smiled "don't worry about it" he gave me a small hug.

"Why the hell did you get married?" "because I love dan more than anything in the world!"

"Well I love you more than anything in the world but you don't care about that!"

"Bullshit! you don't give a crap about me! you know what you were a failure as a mother and as a wife! That's why dad left you!"

"Babe can we please leave"

"Yeah of course, bye Ms. Volkman"

"Don't talk to me" "ok now what the hell did I do?"

"You married my daughter! you got her pregnant! you hit her twice! and you pushed her against your bus and bruised her! that's what you did!"

"That was like 2-3 months ago! Goddam can't you just forget about it!"

"Dan lets go!" I pulled dan away.
