Black Veil Brides: Die For You

Hearing Your Voice

|~*~Die For You~*~|

June 24, 2011

Later that night, Arella lay awake at night in her bunk. She couldn't sleep. And it wasn't just because the bus was moving. She checked the time on her phone. 2:12 am. She rolled onto her side and closed her eyes. Then she heard a voice.

“But mom, I don't wanna be a lawyer.” the voice mumbled.

Arella sat up in her bunk and pushed herself out. She walked over to Seth's bunk and yanked open the curtain. He started to sleep talk again.

“I want to be a Power Ranger mom. Not a stupid lawyer.”

Arella took one of his pillows and smacked him in the face. His green eyes shot open. He sat up in his bunk.

“What the hell, Arella?!” he whisper-shouted. “Why'd you do that?”

“You were sleep talking.” Arella said. Before Seth could say anything more, Arella closed the curtain and opened the curtain to her bunk.

She reached her hand in there and felt for her laptop and earbuds. Once she got them, she walked up to the top of the bus. Their tour bus was the kind that had a place where you could sit at on the top roof.

She sat at one of the tables and powered on her computer. Once it was ready, she went on the Internet and signed in to Twitter. She checked her mentions and saw a tweet from Andy. He followed her? Since when? She looked at the recent people who have followed her. Apparently he followed her a few hours ago. She clicked on him and followed him back. Then she checked his tweet. He had barely tweeted her a few minutes ago.

So glad to have you back in my life @ArellaALL. :) <3

She smiled and hit reply.

@AndyBVB So am I. NOW GET TO SLEEP! >.< ITS LATE! ^-^

She went to YouTube next. What to watch?, she thought. She racked her brain for anything to watch or listen to. Any band or song she's heard of. Suddenly an idea popped into her head. She typed in 'Black Veil Brides' and hit enter.

The first result to pop up said 'Black Veil Brides “Knives and Pens” Standby Records'. She clicked on it.

A man's voice came on. There was a black cable on the ground. The camera shifted and she saw three people. Andy, a guitarist, and a drummer, all dressed in white.

She kept her eyes on Andy during the entire music video. He was just like she remembered him. Once the music video was over, she went back and clicked on another one. It was Perfect Weapon. After that were more. Then she found a song that made her heart stop. She hovered the mouse over the link. Hesitantly, she clicked it.

The Mortician's Daughter. The song Andy wrote for her. And he recorded it for his first album. He didn't just leave it in a reject pile. The song started off with some rain. Then the familiar guitar strumming began. Andy's voice soon followed. As did some lyrics.

I open my lungs dear.
I sing this song at funerals, no rush.
These lyrics heard a thousand times,
Just plush.

A baby boy you've held so tightly.
This pain, it visits almost nightly.
Missing hotel beds I feel your whole touch.

Soon a violin was added.

I will wait dear.
A patience of eternity, my crush.
A universe so still, no rust.
No dust will ever grow on this frame.
A million years and I will say your name.
I love you more than I can ever scream.

As Andy sang that line, she had a flashback to when he first sang that to him. He was strumming his guitar and looking into her eyes while he sang. He grinned as he sang that line.

All too soon, it was over. And Arella realized that she had tears streaming down her face. She brought her hand up to her face and wiped them away.

“Was that the song he wrote for you?” a voice asked. She recognized it as Ryan.

“Yeah.” Arella whispered.

Ryan took a seat next to her. He took an earbud and pressed play. After about a minute he said, “It's a good song.”

“It is.” Arella admitted.

“You're just saying that because its about you.” Ryan teased.

Arella laughed. “Am not.” she said. She sighed and closed her laptop. “I'm going to bed.”
