My Other Half (Avenged Sevenfold)

Untitled Part 11

About a week later, I was at the grocery store. I have zero tolerance for stupidity to begin with, but grocery shopping always puts me in a bad mood. It seems that I always get stuck behind the Crazy Coupon lady who needs five hundred cans of cat food for her five hundred fucking cats. It never fails.

As I strolled down the aisle, I tossed items into my cart. I turned down another aisle and paused, trying to find the right brand of creamer for my coffee.

Glancing out of the corner of my eye, I caught two girls about the age of sixteen staring at me. I admit I was somewhat creeped out by their gazing and whispering. I raised an eyebrow at them, feeling my patience wearing thin.

"Um, are you dating Synyster Gates?" One asked shyly.

The question threw me for a loop. I never thought anyone would recognize me from one picture almost two months ago.

"Uh, yeah." I said distracted.

"I told you!" The one girl squealed.

I flashed them a confused grin, and headed down the aisle. That was fucking weird. I shook my head and tried to brush it off. They are kids, Tatum. Let them be excited about their favorite band.

"So, you're the new girlfriend." I heard.

Is it Fuck With Tatum Day? Did I not get the memo regarding this? For fucksake, I just want to grab my stuff and leave!

I looked behind me to see a blonde woman standing there. She was pretty, maybe a little overdone with the makeup and trying to make herself look perfect, but she was pretty. She smirked at me and rolled her eyes.

"Don't get too comfortable, honey." She said quietly.

"Have we met? And what the fuck are you talking about?" I snapped.

This bitch is about to feel my wrath. I squeezed the handle of the cart until my knuckles turned white. My one foot bounced a little. Deep breaths.

"Brian is who I'm talking about." She glared.

"What about him?" I shot back.

"I'm trying to decide if you're dumb, or if you really don't know who I am." She laughed.

"Listen bitch, I'm about two seconds from snapping your bony ass in half. Say what you need to." I growled.

"Just tell Brian that Michelle misses him." She said snidely, walking away.

It took every ounce of willpower I had in my body to not tackle this bitch to the ground and throw her the ass beating of a lifetime. I can't stay here. I have to leave right now. If I don't, I will end up in jail. Again.

I shoved the half full cart to the side and stomped out of the store. I got in my car and lit a cigarette. Brian is getting a visit from me. Fuck this shit!

I made it to his house in about ten minutes. I saw the guys cars in his driveway. I don't give a shit. I have no idea who the fuck this bitch is. But I can guarantee that Brian does.

I slammed my car door and walked up his steps. I pounded on the door. Matt answered it, smiling widely at me.

"Tatum! How are you?" He asked.

"Save it. Where the fuck is Haner?" I growled.

Matt flinched a little, startled by my mood.

"Um, uh-" Matt stuttered.

I walked past him and into the house. I heard the door close behind me. I saw Zack, Johnny, Gena and Lacy in the living room. But I don't see Brian.
