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

Chapter Twenty

Brandy's P.O.V.

The last day of the tour was stressful. I was ready to go back home. Apparently, Syn and Cyndy got into it really bad as well, and she wanted to go home too. The day dragged on with our normal routine. We sold out all our merch today though. That was fun to do. We got on stage as usual and played with the guys. After all that, we needed to tell Matt what was going on.

"Hey Matt. When you got a second we need to talk to you." I say approaching Matt.

"Is everything okay?" He asked.

"Actually no." I say.

"Alright. Ill see you on the bus and we will talk in private." He said.

I nodded my head and started for the bus. Cyndy followed me and we sat in the back lounge trying to figure out what we had to say. It was going to be really hard to quit all this.

Matt finally came into the back lounge and sat down.

"What's going on?" He asked.

Cyndy shut the door as I sighed.

"Matt, we have to leave." I say.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"We can't merch for you guys anymore." Cyndy said.

"What? Why?" He questioned.

"Well, Zacky and Syn have been having an affair with us. And, it's gotten way out of hand." I started.

"It's hard to be around them with the way we feel about them. We fell for them, hard. And, we got into it badly last night, and we think it's best if we went back to Florida." Cyndy explained.

"Well, I knew the affair thing. But, I thought they loved you back?" He asked.

"Well, with the way they acted, it seemed more like they were using us. We don't really know." I say.

"I understand. If you guys think that's the best decision, then ill stand by you. But, you have to promise to stay in touch with Val and I. She really likes you two." Matt said.

"We will. And thank you so much for the opportunity. It's been so much fun and I wish it didn't have to end this way." I say sadly.

"You're welcome. And I wish it didn't either. You've been our best merch girls ever. But, when we get back to Cali. Ill drop you off at the airport." Matt said.

"Thank you, Matt." Cyndy and I said in unison.

He nodded his head and got up.

"Also, don't say anything about this to anyone." I say.

"You got it." He said as we walked out of the room.

Cyndy and I sighed and went to our bunks. We were going to be back in Cali tomorrow. We were devastated to leave, we didn't want to. We wished things turned out differently.

We got back to Cali early in the morning. Cyndy and I were up and packed everything we had brought. We got dropped off at Matt's and we told Val everything that happened. She was surprised to hear what we said, but she understood. She gave us her number and told us to stay in touch.

We got into Matt's car and went to the airport. We walked us all the way up to security.

"I guess this is goodbye for now." He said.

"Yeah I guess so. Once, again I'm so sorry." I say nearly in tears.

"It's okay. Please fly safe!" He said pulling me into a hug.

"We will. Thank you for the ride." I say hugging him back.

"You're welcome." He said as he let go.

I smiled weakly and sniffled a bit.

"Stop pouting. It'll be okay." He said to Cyndy as he pulled her into a hug.

"Okay. Ill try. Goodbye Matt." She said.

"Goodbye you two." He said as he stepped back.

"Also, when Zacky and Syn ask why we didn't say goodbye to them, tell them that it would be too hard to say, so it's better left unsaid." I say.

"I will." He said.

Cyndy and I waved at him and went through security. The reality of us leaving was all too real now. We got through security and waited a bit to board the plane. We finally did board the plane and I instantly put music in and watched out the window. Now, began our long journey home.

After a very long flight, we made it back to Florida. I called a cab and we were on our way to the house. After a 30 minute cab ride we got back home. I unlocked the door and opened it. I turned on a few lights to see and went directly to my room. I threw my suitcase into my closet and changed my clothes. I walked back to the kitchen and grabbed a Pepsi and some chips and went back into my room.

I plopped onto my bed and buried my head in the pillow. Now, I couldn't stop the tears. I already missed Zacky and it was killing me being apart from him. But, this had to happen. I heard Cyndy crying in the next room over so I got up and went to her room. She looked just like I did moments before. I say next to her and rubbed her back. She looked at me and cried harder. I ended up laying next to her crying my heart out with her. There was nothing else to do. Eventually, we fell asleep. We slept for a very long time. We didn't even wake up till 5 pm the next day.
