My Other Half (Avenged Sevenfold)

Untitled Part 4

"How was the honeymoon?" I asked Janelle a few days later.

I had stopped by their place with their mail I had been getting for the last week. I want more details about Brian since we have hung out alot over the last week too.

"It was great! We had the best time." She smiled at me.

"Good. Now, tell me about Brian." I said.

"Um, like what?" She asked awkwardly.

"I don't know his last name even. He only told me he's in the music industry. That's it." I said.

"That's all he told you?" She narrowed her eyes at me.

"Yep." I said.

"I get it." She said to herself.

"Tay, I can't say anything then. I'm sorry. I can assure you that I will tell Brian to talk to you about it. But, it's just not my place." She said.

"What the fuck is it that none of you want me knowing about?" I glared.

"All I can tell you is, it will make sense soon enough." She said to me.

Well that was a waste of time. Sighing, I headed to work. I was thankful I only had to work a few hours today.

When it was time for me to leave, one of the girls that I work with stopped me. Her name is Kelly. Kelly looked ready to burst at the seams while she clutched a magazine in her hands.

"I cannot believe you!" She squealed at me.

"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked.

"You and Synyster Gates!" She smiled.

"Who the hell is that?" I asked her.

I've never heard that name in my life. Kelly turned the magazine around to show me. My stomach knotted. There is a picture of Brian and I leaving my cousins wedding hand in hand. The headline stated, "Who is Synyster Gates mystery woman?" What in the absolute fuck?!

"Where did you get this?" I asked, feeling nauseous.

"It's all over the internet and in newstands!" Kelly gushed.

"Can...can I keep this?" I asked.

"Sure. What's he like?" She smiled at me.

"I gotta go." I said, snatching the magazine from her.

I drove home as fast as I could. What the fuck is going on? I focused only on getting home so I didn't absorb myself in the magazine.

Once I was home, I read the news caption again. Avenged Sevenfold. Why do I know that name? Then it hit me. It's a very popular rock band. I've never paid much attention to their music. I'm more into Slayer, Slipknot, that type of thing.

But why wouldn't Brian and Matt just be honest with me? I don't care what they do for a living as long as it is honest work.

I felt pissed. Really fucking pissed. I feel like Brian and Matt both lied to me. I feel incredibly stupid too.

My phone rang and I saw Brian's come up on the screen. I ignored it. I'm too angry and will run my mouth to him.

Curiosity got the better of me. I pulled him up on the internet. Brian Elwin Haner Jr, is a very well known guitarist. Their band is very successful too. I saw pictures of him on stage. A few videos of him playing a guitar solo.

Seeing enough, I closed out of it. I got up and grabbed my keys. I took a long drive to calm myself down. I must of drove two hours or longer. Once I was calm, I headed home and did homework for the rest of the evening.
