Girl Drummer Meets Boy Drummer(A7X/Jimmy FanFic)

Chapter 13~Shitty Suggestions

Jimmy's POV

Today was the day Avenged left for their tour, and I still wished that Megan could have been here with us, or I could have been there with her. Brian knows how I feel, and so together we've been confiding in each other, because we understood. Except, there was one difference between us. Brian and Kristina were still together, they were actually trying. I felt like a total screw up because I just let her go and slip right through my fingers, not even trying to convince her that it would work out even if we barely got to speak to each other. I hoped that she didn't think I don't care, that I never really loved her, because that is not true. I still love her as much as I did before we even got together in the first place, when she still thought I was a serial killer. I am such an asshole.

"You ready man?" Zacky asked me as we loaded our things onto the bus.

"Guess I'm gonna have to be, Zee." I told him, sighing, and he looked at me with a sadness in his eyes. He sighed as well, and glanced at the ground.

"Jimmy, it's going to be fine. I don't have a doubt that as soon as she's home, all she'll want to do is be in your arms for the next year, hell, probably even longer than that. It's not that you don't love each other anymore, it's just that you're trying to do what's best for the both of you." He reassured me as we sat down in the bus, and I listened to him intently.

"But what is best for us?" I questioned him quietly, as if he were a love god. Zacky, a love god? Yeah, right. Maybe to Charlotte.

Zacky looked at me for a minute. "Well, I can't really answer that. But I know you'll work it out, no doubt. You'll find out what's best for you, and have future reference if this happens again. And, I hate to break it to ya, but it probably will happen again."

I thought about it for a moment, and decided he was right. I nodded and smiled weakly. "Y'know, I think you may be right, Zack." He grinned, obviously proud of himself. "Thanks, man. That helps a lot." I told him sincerely, and he nodded and patted my back.

"It's what I'm here for, as well of the rest of us. You know that you can come to us at any time you need help, just like we can come to you." He said, and I nodded again. He got up and went to go find Charlotte.

Charlotte, Christina, and Sabal came on tour with us. So that left Brian and I the odd ones out, without our women because they were out making a name for themselves, doing what they loved. Neither of us could possibly deprive Megan and Kristina of that, it wouldn't be right after what we'd done for them. We gave them the opportunity to chase their dream, and so they are. Mission accomplished.

I stared down at my knees for a long time, trying to figure this whole thing out. I knew that as soon as I could, I would do my best to get her back, there was no 'if' I still felt the same way about it. I will still feel the same way, and I could only pray that she would too.

I got up and grabbed a beer, craving the alcohol to run down my throat and comfort me even only slightly. I repeated Zacky's words over and over in my head, trying to give myself more assurance that the guy knew what he was talking about, and was right.

Megan's POV

I've caught Michael staring at me a few times now after he learned what happened. It wasn't a lustful look or anything, but it was almost a wonderous, curious kind of look. Or like he was debating something in his mind every time he looked at me, and I wanted to know why he kept looking at me that way. Though, I think I already have the answer. I'll bet you a nickel that he thinks he has a shot now that Jimmy and I aren't together at the moment. No way. Absolutely not.

Henry seemed to notice this, and sent me a questioning glance while nodding his head toward Michael. I shrugged and shook my head to let him know that I had no idea what was going through his head at the moment.
