What happens next?

It's been a few weeks since Lola and myself went out for a tour of LA with CC and Ashley. Warped tour startes in a few days, and the thought of losing five of my best friends for a few months was slowly killing me. But today was the day that my parents were coming out here to visit us in our new home.

"Lola, make sure you clean under the sofa! God knows what's stuffed under there." I said as I just finished hoovering in th hallway.

"Calm down Alice, your parents have seen my old house and your old house looking like a tip before." Lola said as she started to sweep empty Monster cans and beer bottles from under the sofa.

"That was before we had five guys practically living with us, see?" I said while pointing to the empty bottles and cans in a pile on the floor.

"Would now be a good time to tell you that I've invited the guys over to meet your parents?" Lola asked with a shy smile.

"Yeah okay. Whatever, they almost here every-Wait! What?! you invited the guys over to meet my parents? Don't you know they'll have a fit and die?!" I exclaimed as I pint he'd the bridge of my nose. "My father will have a heart attack and rise from the grave and kill me because there are five older guys in the house. And my mother? Well, she'd die from seeing their tattoos and piercings!"

"Ahh well, I can always tell them not to come over if you like?" Lola suggested.

"Too late, we're already here." Ash said as he and the rest of BVB walked in through the door.

"We can leave if you want?" Jinxx asked.

"No, it's okay. My parents will have to get used to the fact that five of my best friends are covered in tattoos and piercings." I said as I took all the cleaning supplies back to the basement.

"Alice! Your parents are walking up the drive, you better get your ass up here!" Lola called down the stairs of the basement.

"Okay, on my way." I replied.

When I walked into the living room, my parents were about to knock on the door.

"Hey, how are you? How was the flight?" I asked as I opened the door and engulfed them into a tight hug.

"Hello Alice, it was plane like, you know how it is, cramped in a small place for several hours. We're fine aren't we Jack?" My mother said returning my hug.

"Yes, can I have a drink of water please Alice?" Asked my dad.

"Sure come in. Lola and the guys are in the living room." I said as I walked towards the kitchen with my parents in tow.

"Guys? What guys?" My mum asked. Oh god, here we go..

"Come on, I'll show you." I said as I handed a glass of water to my dad. 'I guess it better to get it over and done with' I thought to myself. "Mum, dad this is CC, Ashley, Andy, Jake and Jinxx. CC, Ashley, Andy, Jake and Jinxx this is my mum and dad, Joanne and Jack." I said as I pointed to every individual.

The look on my parents faces was priceless! My mother looked at them like they were blood sucking leaches with three heads. My father on the other hand looked like he was going to punch each of them repeatedly until he beats them to a pulp.

"And I'm Lola!" Lola burst trying to avoid the awkward silence. Didn't help much.

"Yes, and your Lola." Ashley said as he slipped his arms around her waist.

"Alice can we talk to you in the kitchen for a minute please?" My father asked, annoyance evident in his voice.

"Sure dad, lead the way." I said motioning for him and my mother to take the lead. I gave Lola and the guys a glance before I stepped into the dragons den. "What is it that you want to talk about?" I asked as I sat on one of the bar stools by the table.

"Why are the five tattooed guys sitting in your living room and why does one have his arms wrapped around Lola?" Mum asked.

"Well Ashley and Lola are kind of an item. The rest of them are our best friends. They are also members of a famous band." I said as I looked them in the eye.

"What? Motionless In Brides?" My dad asked.

"No! Motionless In White is one band and Black Veil Brides is another. Black Veil Brides are the ones sitting in my living room.

"Okay, I don't like you hanging around with older guys that are covered in tattoos. Rock stars or not."

"Lola's my friend, sues covered in tattoos and has multiple piercings. You don't say anything about her though do you?" I was slowly starting to lose it. I knew this would happen. I'm twenty one for heavens sake! I'm pretty sure I can look after myself!

"Well that's different. Lola and you have been friends since you were in primary school." My father said.

"How is it different?! Just because I haven't been friends with them as long as I have Lola, doesn't mean they are bad people last time I checked!" I started raising my voice, not going to put up with their baloney! As I started raising my voice, CC came running in.

"Hey, hey, calm down Alice. It's okay, me and the guys are just going to leave so you can spend time with your parents." He said and turned to walk away.

I grabbed his wrist before he could go any further, "No! Don't you dare leave. You are leaving in a few days and we aren't going to see you for months!" I said

"Okay, okay, we won't leave but knock it down a notch or two alright?" He asked while rubbing my shoulders.

"Okay." I nodded my head and he left the room.

"I still don't like you hanging around with them." My mother mumbled.

"I'm 21. I can look after myself. I can make choices for myself too. Now you can either except the fact that I'm friends with rock stars or you can find a hotel to stay in for a few days, because its going to be a few months before I see them again and I'm going to make sure that I spend all the time I can before they leave." I said as I marched into the living room and say in between CC and Jake.

"What was the shouting about?" Lola questioned.

"Oh you know the usual, what I told before they arrived really." I answered. "Thanks for that, I think I could have snapped the necks if they said something else about you guys." I said a little quieter to CC and leaned into his side.

"Hey, it's no problem, it sounded like it was getting heated in there." CC laughed.

Just then my parents entered the room. "So, are you staying and we'll start again or are you staying in a hotel?"

"We're going to give you guys some space and find a hotel for a few days. We'll be back once they leave and there is less tattooed people around." My mother spat, while my father rudely pointed at the guys.

"Don't come rushing back. I hope you enjoy your time here in LA and have a great flight back to the UK." I snapped as opened the front door for them as the stormed out of the house.

Slamming the door behind them, I returned back to my seat.

"Well they are in a good mood aren't they?" Lola frowned.

"They don't like tattoos, piercings, rock music and older guys. You my friends tick all of those boxes." I said with a sigh.



"Ah, we can stay away for the rest of their stay, I mean we're only here for a few days and then we'll be on Warped for a few months." Jinxx said.

"No!" Both Lola and I shouted at the same time.

"No, we're going to spend as much time with you as humanly possible, that means sleepovers until you leave. Got it?" I asked.

"Yes ma'am!" The boys said while saluting me.

"Why do you insist on doing that?" I ask laughing at their childish actions.

"It's because your very bossy. Did you know that?" CC asked as he wrapped me in a hug.

"No I didn't." I smile and return his hug, which then returned into a group hug.

"What do you want to do now?" Lola asked as we all pulled away from the hug.

"Well I have to go up to the barn to make sure someone is capable of looking after my horse while we're on tour." Ash said as he grabbed his keys off of the table.

"Wait, you have a horse? Why was I not informed?" I asked placing my hands on my hips.

"Umm yeah. I take it you like horses?" Ashley asked with a smirk.

"Hell yes! I love them!"

"Well do you want to come meet him?" Ash asked.

"Is this a trick question? Of course I want to meet him!" I exclaimed grabbing my shoes and jacket.

"Well someone is eager, anyone else want to come?" Ashley asked heading for the door.

He received to 'yeah's from Lola and CC and the rest were 'nope's.

"I call shot gun!" Lola screams.

"Looks like Alice is stuck in the back with CC." Jake chuckled

"Shut it Jake." CC said as he slipped his arm around my shoulder holding me close.

"Come on, lets go meet Arrow." Ashley said as he walked out the door.

"Are you guys staying here or going back to your place?" I asked as I made my way to the door.

"We'll stay here if that's okay? You have a great stack of pizza and beer." Jake said.

"Sure, just make yourself at home. Take whatever you want." I said as I walked out if the house and closed the door behind me.

Lola and Ashley took the two front seats leaving me and CC to be cramped in the back of his small sporty type car. The ride to the barn was quiet with only the soft hum of the engine and the sound of the radio in the background.
