i'm tired of feeling comatose {raven's song: book two}

twenty three • APMA's

Raven's POV

Chris, the band, all of their girlfriends, and I were going to the APMA's tonight. I was really starting to show and I would have to wear a maternity dress, so I was a bit worried; people would definetly want to know about the baby of Chris Motionless.

We had to take a train from Pennsylvania to the AP headquarters, since I couldn't fly. We were staying in a hotel for a couple of nights.

I pulled the black dress over my head and slipped my arms through the straps. It was a plain black dress with lace coming off of the arms and skirt. Chris had it custom made for me before the AMPA's because I had nothing else to wear.

I finished my hair, which was teased and tossed into a bat's nest type bun on top of my head. I pinned places that needed it and moved on to my makeup.

Chris said he was doing purple and black, so I would do the same. I drew on my eyebrows, although now I had actual eyebrow hair. I did a black and purple sparkly cut crease and began to do my foundation.

I saw Chris walk into the bathroom and I smiled. "You look nice."

"Thanks," he said. "You too."

Chris was wearing an all black suit and tie with one pair of his dress shoes. He had done makeup pretty similar to mine and had his hair teased as well, but pinned up differently.

"I'm done," I say once I finished my highlight.

"Here's your shoes." He hands me my black heels and I slip them on.

Chris and the guys had actually ordered a limo. A goddamn limo.

We were the last to be picked up. We greeted everyone and began the drive to where the AMPA's were being held.

Chris and I held hands as we walked in. We were escorted to a place where people began taking pictures.

Some people interviewed us as we walked through the place. They all asked about my pregnancy. Finally, Chris and I made it to the row of seats labeled "Motionless in White and Family."

Chris and I sat by Balz and Ryan-Ashley. The awards started and we heard a man's voice telling certain bands to go backstage or begin performing.

"Motionless in White, please join us backstage!" A voice called.

My jaw dropped. I had no idea that they were playing. Chris didn't tell me they were going onstage at all.

He gave me a quick kiss and they guys all ran towards the stage. Ryan-Ashley and I looked at each other and shrugged. I guess she didn't know what was happening either.

Rob Zombie came out on stage ... with my boyfriend? No fucking way.

They performed together and I was in awe. They did so awesome!

A little while later, MIW came out onstage together. The guys played Reincarnate and they rocked it. I sang along to the whole song and cheered loudly once it was over.

"We would like to say a few words," Chris began. "Thank you to our fans, for we would be nowhere without you guys! Thank you to our family and friends for being here for us." He turns to the band. "Thank you, guys, for helping me through this all."

I cheer and clap again and he smiles down at the crowd. "I hope you all have a wonderful night, and enjoy the other bands you see!"

The guys quietly sneak back into the chairs about ten minutes later. I nudge Chris. "You didn't tell me you were performing."

He plants a kiss on my lips. "Surprise."

"You guys did great! Anything else I should know about?"

He nods. "We have a private interview backstage."

"Okay, I'll hang back with the girls while you do that."

"Sounds good. We can go around and meet some people afterwards."

"Like?"

"Your favorite singers and stuff. A lot of people are here."

"That'd be great."

Chris grins at me and says, "let's go mingle before the interview, then."

I grab his hand and we walk around. We stop for pictures and questions people ask. Chris ends up leaving for his interview, so I sit with the girls and his parents.

I never was good at attending big things like this and I never thought I would be. Tonight was wonderful though. I think the best part was seeing the man I love doing the thing that makes him happy.

So idk if this was the time Chris performed with Rob Zombie but I put it in the story anyways.
