I Gave It All

Claudia's POV~~

My name is Claudia Ashlee Alderman, and it all started twenty-two years ago. That's right, when I was born. My life was complete hell until I met my cousin about ten years ago. I should mention that he plays drums. In 2010, I found out about this band called Black Veil Brides. I immediately fell in love with them after hearing Perfect Weapon for the first time. After Sandra left, they found a new drummer; my cousin, Christian Coma. I was ecstatic when I found out. In 2012 when my parents died, CC visited me with the band, and they let me come on tour with them instead of living with my aunt. It's now 2013, and I'm best friends with all the guys, and currently, I'm on Warped Tour with them. I will say though, that I do have feelings for a certain Black Veil Bride, but I won't say who just yet. Let's get to reality, shall we?

A knock on the bus door drew me from my thoughts. I had decided not to watch BVB's set tonight, even though I knew they weren't on yet. Anyway, I stood up and walked over to the door. I opened it and there stood my parents. Wait, what? My parents? That couldn't be right, but it was.

"Mom, dad. I thought you were dead." I said.

"Oh, we were never dead. We just went away for awhile to see what your wretched cousin would do with you." My mom sneered. My parents were never the nicest people on earth. They beat me, one time, and it was awful. It was mostly my mom. Over her shoulder, I saw CC and Ashley, covered in makeup and Warpaint. They were both staring at me with 'what the fuck' looks. I gave CC a look I always give him when there's trouble. He nodded at me and he grabbed Ashley's arm and dragged him over.

"What the hell are you looking at?" My dad asked.

"N-nothing." I stammered. Damnit. Whenever I lie, I stammer, unless I'm nervous, which is never a good thing. My mom narrowed her eyes at me just as CC and Ashley shoved them out of the doorway. They both got in the bus and I closed and locked the door behind them.

"Thanks, you guys are life savers." I said.

"I thought they were fucking dead." CC said after swallowing some of the monster he left on the table. I shook my head.

"Nope. According to my mom, they just went away to see what you would do with me." I said to CC.

"Alright, not a big shocker there. We'll get someone from another band to come and hang with you until we're done, just in case your parents come back." CC said, finishing off his monster.

"Alright. Call them, okay? Don't leave until they get here." I said. CC nodded as he pulled out his phone. He dialed a number and then held the phone up to his ear.

"Hey man! Would you mind hanging out with Claudia while we play our set?... It's a long story, will you?... Yeah, now... Alright! See you in five. Bye!" CC said.

He hung up and five minutes later, there was a knock on the door. CC opened it and Austin Carlile walked in.

"Hey! Claudia, what's up!?" Austin asked. I smiled.

"Hey Austin. It's been awhile since we last saw each other." I said as CC hugged me goodbye. Him and Ashley both left and I locked the bus door again.

"Psh yeah. It's been about... four months." He said while he pushed his hair back with his hand.

"That's way too long in my book. So, what do you want to do?" I asked.

"Do you have any movies?" Austin asked.

"Yeah. Anything you want to see?" I asked.

"Nope."Austin said, popping the p. I looked through all the DVDs and all I found was Batman and Harry Potter.

"All we have is Batman and Harry Potter. What shall it be, Austin?" I asked.

"Fuck... how about Harry Potter." He said.

"Good choice. Let's go with The Goblet Of Fire. I've always loved this one." I said as I put the movie in. I grabbed the remote and sat down on the couch next to Austin. The guys had a 90 minute set, and this movie was roughly four hours. Perfect, it'll still be on by the time the guys get back. I can't wait to see him. He brightens my day. His eyes, his smile, his hair, his tattoos. Everything about him is perfect.
