(DESTINY) I woke up in CC's arms on the couch. I breathed in and remembered how amazing last night was. CC was my boyfriend, I wasn't a virgin anymore, but no one except CC and I knew that, and we didn't plan on telling anyone. I sat up and woke CC up. He looked at me and smiled. I returned it and he leaned over and kissed me. He pulled away, but I pulled him back in. His kiss was so amazing, I couldn't get enough of it. "Alright. Break it up. I'm trying to write a song." Andy said. I didn't even know he was there, so I jumped when he talked. "Shit. Scare me why don't you." I said. Andy shrugged and CC got off of me. "Hey what's the song called?" CC asked. "Lost It All. I can't seem to get this part right. Mind helping me?" Andy asked. "Let's see. Give me that." CC said. Andy handed over his notebook. I read it over CC's shoulder. "These lyrics are great, but it just doesn't seem to flow. Is that the problem?" I asked. Andy nodded his head. After a few minutes of thinking, I got something. "Toss me your pen. CC give me the notebook." I said. Andy tossed me his pen and CC handed me the lyrics. I started writing. 'Then I lost it all Dead and broken My backs against the wall Cut me open I'm just trying to breathe just trying to figure it out Because I built these walls to watch them crumbling down..' "How is this Andy?" I asked. I handed him the notebook and he read what I wrote. "Destiny! Theses are fucking perfect! Now I can get the rest of the song! Thank you so much." Andy said. "No problem." I said. Andy quickly finished the song and headed out to go show Jon. That left me and CC alone. He pulled me in for a kiss. "Seriously? I'm trying to write the parts of this song that require violin." Jinxx said. Holy shit. "What song?" CC asked. "Days Are Numbered. Do you have a beat for that one?" Jinxx asked. "No. Let's go. Maybe Destiny can help too." CC said. I smiled. The three of us got up and left to head to the studio. Once we got there, CC immediately sat at his drums while Jinxx grabbed his violin and started trying different strings and sounds. CC started tapping out a beat with his fingers, but couldn't seem to get anything. "Move aside. Let me try." I said. CC did so and I sat there, throwing out a random beat I had thought of. I finished it and CC copied it, throwing in or taking out beats. He made it sound amazing. "GOT IT! JINXX COME HERE I GOT IT!" CC yelled over the drums and violin. Jinxx rushed over and CC started on his beat, head banging the whole time. "Awesome. Keep that until we record it." Jinxx said. He walked back over to his violin. CC and I left and returned to the bus. Andy was back and Jake and Ashley were there also. We walked inside and sat down.

"Andy, I got the drums for Days Are Numbered." CC said.

"I helped." I said.

"Really? Can you show me?" Andy asked.

"You'll have to wait." CC said. Andy rolled his eyes. CC took my hand and held it.

"What should we do today?" I asked.

"We could go and take a walk." CC said.

"Okay. Let's go." I said standing up. CC followed me out the door. Three days into the last two weeks of tour and we were still in Citrus Heights, California, two blocks from where I live.

"CC, why are we still in California? Weren't we supposed to be Chicago by now?" I asked. CC shrugged.

"Ask Jon. He knows everything about the tours... unless Chicago got cancelled. Other than that I don't know." CC said. I nodded and we walked in silence, holding each other's hand, enjoying the silence. I just looked around at the trees and the cars passing by. That didn't last long until some girls saw CC and pretty much ambushed us. They were all talking very fast and at the same time, so we couldn't understand them.

"LADIES! Slow down." CC said. They all shut up quickly.

"Now, ask your questions one at a time please." CC said. All the girls looked like they would explode.

"Can you sign my shirt!?" One girl asked. She shoved her sharpie in his hand and puffed out her chest so he could sign her tits. That actually pissed me off, so I glared at her. She took notice and just smirked, but it disappeared when CC signed her shoulder. I smiled as he handed her her sharpie. She took it forcefully.


"Is this your girlfriend or something?" The same girl asked.

"Yes she is. And she's amazing." CC said. I smiled and pulled him in for a kiss. All the other girls around us squealed or awed. I pulled away and just stood there waiting for CC to finish signing stuff. My phone buzzed and I took it out of my pocket.

"Babe, Andy wants us back at the bus. We're apparently leaving for Texas in like an hour." I said. CC looked at me and nodded.

"Sorry ladies. I can't finish signing all your stuff. We have to leave." CC said. They all groaned and we tried to leave, but they kept following us and we didn't want them to swarm the bus. CC pulled out his phone and called Jinxx. The bus was going to be here so we could get on it. The driver pulled up next to us on the curb and we bolted for the door, the fans not far behind. CC opened the door for me and I ran in, grabbing his hand and pulling him in with me, but the girl from before grabbed his arm and smirked.

"Andy help me!" I said. CC was trying to get away and he succeeded, but then two other girls helped her and I ended up letting go of him because I couldn't hold on. Andy jumped out into the pile and distracted the girls while CC got up and ran towards me, dragging Andy with him. They made it onto the bus and I slammed the door shut and locked it. Teamwork.

"Holy shit. Crazy fans." CC said while catching his breath. Andy agreed. Jinxx' phone started ringing, but he was no where in sight. I picked it up and looked at the caller id. It was my dad, so I answered it.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Destiny? Where are you? Your mother and I are worried. So I'm assuming you're with Jinxx, since you answered his phone."

"Yes I'm with Jinxx.. but that's not a big deal. They invited me on tour since you and mom were gone, and I didn't want to be by myself for three days." I said.

"Well, I want you back home."

"Too late for that dad. We're already on our way to the next stop on the rest of the tour. Don't worry. We have less than two weeks left... Then I'll be home."

"Let me speak with Jeremy. Now."

Oh shit. He's in trouble.

"Okay daddy. One minute."

"Where the fuck is Jinxx?" I asked. Andy pointed to the kitchen and I rushed in there, seeing him and Sammi making out.

"Jinxx! Phone! My dad wants to speak with you." I said. He groaned and Sammi let go of him. I handed him the phone.

"Sorry guys. He sounds pissed and I didn't want to make it worse." I said. I walked out the kitchen and sat down. I heard yelling from the kitchen, so I knew Jinxx was getting chewed out by my dad. I put my head on my hands.

"He always fucking does this! I'll go out with friends or whatever and he'll call telling me he wants me home. He never lets me do anything fun. Sure I love him, but he's over protective. It sucks. He doesn't really like Jinxx in the first place. Shit! What's he gonna do when he finds out we're dating, CC?" I asked. CC shrugged.

"You guys are dating?" Ashley asked. I just nodded my head and Jinxx walked out with Sammi at his heels. He handed the phone back to me and sat down next to Sammi and me. CC was rubbing my back.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Get home. Now."

"You know what, fuck you. No. You never let me do anything! If you keep me locked up all the time, I'll never be a social person. Also I won't be able to see my fucking boyfriend, so fuck no." I said.

"I thought Chris dumped you. And don't use that language young lady."

"Well, yeah Chris dumped me, but I found someone else thank you very much. I'll use whatever language I want, because I'm eighteen, and I'm not coming back. Goodbye." I said, then I hung up the phone and gave it back to Jinxx. CC pulled me into him and quickly kissed me, then pulled me into a hug. I checked the time after he let go. It was now five pm. I had nothing else to do, so I went to sleep.

…

"Wake up. We're in Houston." CC said, shaking me. I groaned and sat up, taking his outstretched hand. I stood up and quickly changed into some shorts and a tank top. Then CC and I made our way off the bus into the venue.

"We're playing today?" I asked.

"In about twenty minutes yeah. You're opening for us too." CC said. I smiled as we met up with the guys. We chilled out for a while before I went out on stage. I ran out full of energy. I grabbed my guitar from CC on the way and I grabbed Andy's mic off the stand. I leaned my guitar up against my stool and started to say something.

"What's up Houston!!? Ready to rock out? Well, I'm not rocking out very hard. Whatever. Are you ready?" I asked. They cheered and I set the mic back on the stand.

"Alright! First song is The Mortician's Daughter, by Black Veil Brides!" I said. I grabbed my guitar and sat down. I started playing and singing. Before I knew it, I was saying goodbye to the crowd and welcoming Black Veil Brides. Before I could leave the stage, CC grabbed me and spun me around. Then he kissed me. The crowd cheered and whistled. CC set me down and I kissed his cheek before running offstage. I watched them play their seventeen song setlist. After they finished they ran back over to where I was. CC put his arm around me and kissed my cheek.

"Well, didn't know you chased emos. Sorry Jeremy, that's what I think of you."
