Give Me A Sign, I Want To Believe
Meeting Mom
I woke up with Allyson laying on my shoulder and my head resting on hers. We must’ve fallen asleep while she was talking. I learned a lot though. She lived with her mother, she burned herself since sophomore year, she’s a senior now and she plans to finish high school. (a/n: This takes place in December 2012 during school vacation just to clear it up. So it’s right before the album comes out.) She’s been playing drums for 10 years and she sings. I promised to not tell the guys because I know how persistent they can get. She does well in class and she has good music taste. She listens to Guns, Crue, Billy Idol, Pierce the Veil, 3 Doors Down, KISS, MCR, a hint of Bruno Mars, only the songs that aren’t on the radio, Juliet Simms, Some Green day and Panic! At The Disco. She really wants a boxer dog and she’s got some tattoos. One on her hip that says Live Wild and Be Free. One her rib with her friends name, Casey, who died of cancer. Then one on her ankle. It’s an anklet of shark fins sticking out of the water and then she has drumsticks tattooed behind her ear. Her mom is very supportive of her. Her “boyfriend’s” all lied to her saying they really loved her when they were really dared to ask her out so they could try to fuck her. She’s still a virgin because she stopped them. Her dad left when she was seven and never came home. He married another girl and when he last visited Ally he beat her so bad she was sent to the hospital. Ally is currently struggling with anorexia. I promised her I would help her get better. I was bulimic for most of high school but my sister helped me stop that. So I want to be there for Ally.
I checked my phone and saw it was noon. It was Monday and I was staying home to track some guitar for myself. I looked to Ally and saw she was still sleeping. So I laid her down and I got up and changed into jeans, a tank top, some bracelets, my BVB beanie, and converse. (Jake’s Outfit: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=92790166 ) I went to give Trixy her food and then made myself some toast and made Ally some eggs and toast. I went into the recording room and started tracking for myself. Not long after I had started tracking, Ally woke up. Her hair was all messy but it was cute. She yawned and said morning. I replied back. I told her there was food on the table for her and she didn’t have to finish all of it.
“Jake seriously, you don’t need to do all of this I can do it myself.”
“It’s okay I was making food for myself so I decided to make you some.” Ally nodded and slowly ate. She ate half of her food which is a start.
“What are you tracking?”
“I’m working on some other songs for myself.”
“Hmm sounds cool.”
“Do you want to head out and talk to your mom?”
“Let’s get it over with.” Ally sighed and we drove off to her house. We got to her house around 4. Ally opened the door and saw her mom on the couch crying.
“Mom, are you okay?”
“ALLYSON MARIE MOORE! THANK GOD YOU’RE OKAY. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?” Allyson’s mom gave her a big hug.
“It was Corey. It was another trick date. I tried to do it this time but, Jake spotted me before I could really attempt to.” Her mom looked to me and hugged me.
“Thank you so much. I don’t know what I would’ve done if she was gone for good.”
“It’s nothing. I was just in the right place at the right time.”
“And where is your phone? I called but you never answered.”
“I threw it and broke it because of Corey. But that’s not why I’m really here mom.”
“Then tell me.”
“Well Jake asked me to go on tour with him and his band and be their merch girl and/ or make-up assistant. I’d be doing my school work on tour and sending it back to the school.”
“Well honey, I support you if you go on tour. Jake seems very nice and he saved by baby girl so I approve. Just make sure you call me when you get to your first show. What band are you in Jake?”
“Black Veil Brides. I’m their lead guitarist.”
“I’ve heard a few song by you guys. You’re good and you have real talent.”
“Thank you.”
“Ally dear you can go and pack. I’ll call the school and let them know you’re going away with a relative for a while.”
“Thanks mom. Jake you can come with me.” I followed Allyson down the hall to her room. It was filled with posters and merch. I spotted one poster with BVB on it.
“So were you lying when you said you weren’t a fan?”
“No, Casey gave it to me. I was planning on listening to you guys but I just got really busy.” Ally said as she packed a suitcase, duffel bag and a backpack. I sat on her bed while she packed. I pulled out my phone and started playing Fallen Angels.
“This is really good. Who plays this?”
“BVB.”
“Their actually really good.”
“Thanks. You done yet?”
“Actually, I am. Just let me grab my laptop and stuffed shark. I got it from Casey when I was seven.”
“Alrighty then. Shall we go?”
“We shall.” We headed back to the living room and said good bye to her mom. Allyson waited for me at the car while her mom, Mary, talked to me.
“Take care of her. She’s broken and needs to be shown that people love her. She has nightmares of her father beating her and being sent to the hospital.” She has panic attacks if she’s left alone for too long. She can’t be alone in large crowds or she’ll have a panic attack. When she’s mad she needs to go and use a drum kit so she can calm down or else she’ll get angry at everyone. Keep her with you and constantly check on her. She doesn’t do well with being alone.”
“Then why was she in a tree?”
“It’s an escape. If there aren’t drums she finds a tree and climbs it. Even though she seems to be alone, she says Casey is there next to her so she’s not alone. Just make sure you take care of her. I can see that she has feelings for you and I can definitely tell you feel the same way about her. You can date her once she’s eighteen. I trust you Jake. She’s my only girl and she’s my best friend.”
“Don’t worry Mary. I’ll take care of her. She’s safe with me and the boys will protect her as well. She’s a beautiful, strong girl. You raised her well. I promise to have her call you soon. Thanks again for letting her go.”
“No problem. Now go before she gets nervous.”
“Bye!” I ran to the car and saw Ally tapping her foot waiting for me.
“Sorry for making you wait. Your mom wanted to talk to me before we left. She’s really nice.”
“It’s okay. Can we go? I don’t have a good feeling about standing here alone.”
“Yeah let’s go.” We drove back to my place and I put her stuff in my room. I changed into sweats and a t shirt when I got home. Ally did the same. She sat down on the couch and started to think.
I remembered that Ally didn’t have a phone. I think I’m going to buy her one today.
“Ally why don’t we get you a new phone?”
“Now?”
“Yeah this way we don’t forget.”
“Umm. If you want…”
“Let’s go.” We drove to Verizon and Allyson picked a white IPhone 4s and she bought a Guns n’ Roses case. We drove home and Ally put her mom’s number in her phone. I put my number and all the guys and their girlfriends numbers in there to be safe. I made pasta and chicken for dinner and Ally ate half of her food again. She’s getting better which is good. I texted Jon to see if Ally could come on tour and he said yes. She’d have to share a bunk though.
“It’s good to see that you’re eating. I’m proud of you”
“It’s weird eating again. But I feel better. Thank you Jake.” Ally came and hugged me. I hugged back and hissed her head.
“I was bulimic so I know the feeling of eating regularly again is weird you’ll get used to it. You need to stop thanking me. I’m only doing what I was taught.”
“But you’re being so nice to me. The only other person who was this nice to me was my mom. No one else treated me well.”
“Well, they weren’t raised right. And get used to this because I don’t plan on changing. And the guys will be the same as me.” Ally smiled and snuggled her head into my chest. I carried her to my room and laid her down on the bed. She laid on my chest and slowly fell asleep. I soon followed.
