Honest Men In Chains(A Zacky Vengeance and Synyster Gates Love Story)

Chapter One

There's many things on my bucket list. I want to travel to Europe, volunteer at a animal sanctuary, learn some falconry. However, there's one thing on that list I want more than the rest, and that's to be a merch girl for my favorite band, Avenged Sevenfold. I want to merch for any band, but them above all the rest. They've been my favorite band for years.

If there was any chance at achieving this, today would be it. My best friend and I won all excess passes to their show tonight. We get to spend all day with them. See how they set up, see their bus, watch them from side stage. The ultimate package for fans such as ourselves. Only one person could win this contest, and they could bring one friend along. Somehow, I got lucky enough to win. I was feeling quite lucky, so today, I'm asking to merch for them.

Cyndy and I woke up early to get ready. We had to be there by 10:00 am to get checked in. It was a drag waking up early, but beyond worth it. We put on similar outfits. She wore her Avenged Tshirt, short shorts and some high tops. I wore my VU shirt that had the sleeves cut off and cut down the sides, short shorts and a pair of black vans. We headed out early and jammed all the way there.

"So today's the day you're asking?" Cyndy asked.

"Yeah. If I don't sike myself out." I laughed.

"You can do it! I believe in you." She said.

"Thanks! I feel so excited and so fucking stressed its unbelievable." I say.

"Me too! Fuck them dammit!" She laughed.

"That's the plan." I said jokingly.

"Dude, I'm going to miss you if you get this damn job." She said.

"Nah. You know ill pull some shit to get you on the tour with me." I said.

"Fuck. That would be the ultimate experience." She chuckled.

"That tour wouldn't even be ready for the terror twins." I laughed.

"Oh, they can't be ready for us but they're ready for Zacky and Syn? That's bullshit!" She exclaimed.

I laughed and pulled into the parking lot.

"Well, lets do this!" I say happily.

"Dude, FUCK YEAH!" She yelled.

"Wait. Im going to fix my makeup real quick though." I say looking in the mirror.

"Me too, can I see your brush?" She asked.

I laughed and handed her the brush. I fixed my makeup, re styled my hair and grabbed the passes. We walked through the crowd of people and got let in early. We got glares and some shouts but we ignored them. We got checked at security and after that it was smooth sailing. We had to get escorted to merch tent. When we walked up I saw Matt and the merch girl. Matt looked at us and smiled.

"You two ladies the all excess winners?" He asked.

"Yes sir!" I say proudly.

"Awesome. Just give me a sec to I finish here and ill give you all a tour." He said.

"Take your time." Cyndy said.

I looked at her and she had the biggest smile. As much as she likes Syn, she still had a little crush on Matt. Matt finished up and walked up to us.

"You two ready?" He asked.

"Fuck yeah dude!" We exclaimed.

"Awesome. Lets head backstage first." He said as he started to walk.

Cyndy and I followed close to him.

"So, is this your first avenged show?" He asked.

"No. We've seen you guys like five times now, this show will be our sixth time." Cyndy said.
