Bullets in a Music Box

The leather of my dress stuck to my skin as I walked down the hallway of the hotel. Our car leaves in ten minutes and I haven't seen Callum. The guy just has to put on a suit, what the hell is taking him so long? I got to his door and smacked it multiple times before waiting for him to answer. When he did, he was in dress pants, but no shirt.

"What the hell Callum? We leave in ten minutes," I said.

"And putting a shirt on takes less than a minute," he said and I walked into the room.

"Not my point. You are usually the one who is ready to go first, what's up?" I asked.

"Nothing, I'm just feeling lazy today," he said.

"Well, you can't feel lazy. We have an awards show to attend. And possibly be interviewed at. Get your shirt on dipshit," I sat down on the chair in his room and he rolled his eyes before pulling on his shirts and buttoning the top on.

"Now was that, that hard?" I asked him and he flipped me off. I smirked and got off the chair. When he was all dressed and ready to go, we both left the room and walked down to the lobby, where Zara and three body guards were waiting for us. Black Veil Brides had already left and were probably there already. I grabbed Zara's arm and she smiled at me.

"Are we ready for this?" She asked.

"Fuck yes. But, what are we gonna say if they ask about Jackson?" I asked.

"We are going to say that he had a family emergency and that he decided that being in the band was too stressful and he wanted to be with his family," she smiled as we left the building and climbed into the car.

"If only it were that simple," I muttered and Zara looked at me.

"So, what did you and Andy talk about?" She asked.

"Well, he said that he wants me back more that I want him back, and that tonight I'm gonna be in his room instead of ours," I said.

"Good! You two need to make up and be cute again. I miss it," Zara smiled and wrapped her arms around me. I rolled my eyes and watched outside. London is pretty at night, but tonight it was better. As we got closer to the venue, I saw people lining up and cars waiting to drop off artists. Maybe we'll meet some other bands tonight. I really want to meet All Time Low, or Fall Out Boy, or Sleeping with Sirens.

"You are smiling, what's up?" Callum asked.

"Just thinking that we could meet a shit ton of awesome bands tonight," I said and he rolled his eyes.

"You're dating Andy Biersack, isn't that enough stardom for you?" He chuckled and I shook my head.

"I may be dating Andy Biersack, but I am still a huge fan of All Time Low and Fall Out Boy," I said.

"Fall Out Boy is going to be there? Oh my god, we have to get a picture with them. No arguing, it's happening," Zara said.

"At least someone shares my excitement," I stuck my tongue out at Callum and he shook his head at me. The car had been stopped for a little while now and when I looked out the window, I groaned. The line of cars was still really long.

"Can't we just walk there? I hate sitting in cars if I don't have to," I complained and one of the body guards shook his head.

"Sorry Sadee, we have to wait until we get to the drop off zone," he said.

"You would think that they would have a better system for this," I said and the guards laughed. We sat in the car for a good half hour before we were able to get out. As the door opened, the guards got out first before helping me, Zara, and Callum out. When we got out, I smoothed out my dress and smiled at the fans. Callum stood next to me before linking our arms and pulling me forward. I looked to the other side of him and saw Zara. If Callum wants to look like a pimp, more power to him.

We were ushered into the red carpet area, where no fans were allowed, and were told to walk right into the building, stop for a picture or two, but no interviews. As we walked down the carpet, Zara began to freak out. I looked at her and she was pointing ahead of us. I followed her finger and saw Fall Out Boy getting an interview done.

"That is Fall Out Boy. Can we please go get a picture with them?" She asked.

"How about we wait for the after party?" I asked.

"True," she said and we posed for a few pictures before the guards pushed us along the carpet. We passed Fall Out Boy, of which was when Zara was fangirling hard, before walking into the building and were taken to our seats. Apparently, when you aren't one of the bands that are nominated, you aren't really paid attention to. Which is fine, except, I wish people would ask us some things. Someone sat down next to me as I sat there, staring at the stage. I turned my head and saw Andy. I smiled and he smirked.

"You excited for this?" He asked.

"I'm more excited for the after party, to be honest," I said after Andy grabbed my hand and ran his thumb over my hand.

"Why the after party?" He chuckled.

"Because I wanna get a picture with Fall Out Boy," I said and he laughed.

"Of all the bands that are here tonight, you want to get a picture with Fall Out Boy?" He asked.

"Don't judge me, or give me that look. I was a Fall Out Boy fan long before I was a Black Veil Brides fan," I said and he shook his head.

"That's only because they've been a band longer than us," he said.

"Sure, let's go with that. But I'm also excited to spend a relaxing night with you," I said.

"Me too. When I told Ashley that we made up, he was relieved, but surprised," he said.

"I think everyone is going to be surprised, shit went down and we both had a little bit of time to think. I know that we aren't 100% okay, but we are trying, right?" I asked and he nodded before kissing my temple. From the stage, I heard someone say something before the lights in the room dimmed and a spotlight appeared onstage. Time to get this show on the road.



Loud music rang throughout the room as I sat at a tall table with Zara and CC. Andy was getting more drinks and Callum was back at the hotel, he had to talk to Lucy.

"So, you and Andy are better now?" CC asked. I looked at him and shrugged.

"We're talking and we're not hating each other," I said.

"Which is better than the silence," he said.

"It is, what about you two? I was too busy with my own self loathing to pay attention to you, how are you guys doing?" I asked.

"We're good," Zara said.

"Zara, come on, that is so boring," I laughed and she rolled her eyes.

"We've been together for like a month, give it some time," she smacked my arm and I kept laughing. Andy came back to the table shortly after that with our drinks. I grabbed mine and took a sip of it before my eyes widened. Next to Andy was Patrick Stump and Pete Wentz.

"Oh hi there," I said.

"So, you said that you wanted a picture with Fall Out Boy, unfortunately the other two aren't here, so you guys only get Patrick and Pete," Andy said. I looked at him and he was smirking. I looked at Zara, who had wide eyes and was outwardly fangirling hardcore.

"Come on you two, stop oogling them and get a picture," Andy said and I climbed off my chair before grabbing Zara and walking over to Patrick and Pete. We posed and Andy took a picture of us with my phone and I was all giggly.

"So you guys are fangirling over us, but we are freaking out over you two. Your music is amazing, how come you guys just now became a band?" Pete asked us.

"I went back and forth for a long time on whether I wanted to be an artist or not. I decided to be an artist, and Zara and Callum were originally just my touring band, but we bonded so," I explained and he nodded.

"Let me know if you ever need any help with the music," Pete said and I nodded.

"Noted, you guys go have some fun at this party, and congrats on the award," I said and Pete nodded before walking away. I turned back to Zara and we squealed together.

"Jeez, you'd think they'd be better at holding in the fangirling, since they're dating us and everything," I heard CC say as Zara and I squealed. When we stopped, we walked back to the table and she resumed her spot next to CC and I sat back down on my chair. Andy put his arm around my shoulders and I leaned my head on his shoulder/arm. It feels nice to be able to cuddle with Andy and not be worried about it.

Notes

Okay. Okay. Okay. I feel terrible for not updating and posting. Like really bad. You guys don't even know. The reason why, or reasons, were I had finals and I needed to focus on studying for my Psych final. And then finals happened. And then I came home for winter break. But then there was nothing except for the fact that I have no freaking clue how the Kerrang! Awards go. I probably should have thought of that before deciding to write about it. But I did my best. I tried writing this chapter like four times, and I didn't like the previous drafts. I'm fine with this one. And I hope you like it.

QUESTION TIME: So, I was dumb and left the notecard that had the cities and dates of the next few shows back up in my dorm, in Minnesota, I'm in Wisconsin right now. So my question is, What cities should they go to. They are touring in America and Canada. There's a month left of the tour. I would love to hear about some cities from you guys. And my other question is, What should I write about, cause it's not going to be just the shows. Should I do more radio interviews? Magazine interviews? Meet and Greets? Days off? What? I need some ideas. As well as some sort of something to keep you guys reading. Nothing to big, but something. Something dramatic.
