Between The Roses

Rain poured from the sky and both thunder and lightening sounded from within the clouds. It was about three weeks after Zara had overdosed and it seemed like nothing was getting better. I was constantly stressed out and not getting enough sleep. My morning sickness finally hit me, full force, and left me unable to do much for a while. Today though, I felt a little better and because of it, I decided to go with Andy to the studio.

My left leg was crossed over my right leg and I was watching Andy record some test vocals. It was only me, Andy, and Jake here at the moment and it was nice. Normally when Black Veil Brides are all together in the studio it is rather loud and rambunctious. A sigh left my mouth as I shifted to cross my right leg over my left.

“You look tired,” I heard Jake comment from up by the soundboard.

“Throwing up anything and everything you eat everyday for about two weeks really takes it out of you,” I shrugged and he smiled.

“I keep forgetting you’re pregnant,” he smiled as he turned around to face me.

“Sometimes I do too but then it all comes crashing back and I remember,” I smiled back at him and he nodded.

“Are you and Andy freaking out yet?” He asked after he cross his arms over his chest.

“Not quite yet, but I know it’ll hit me and I’m not ready for that,” I sighed and chuckled. He chuckled back in response and then shifted in his seat.

“Did your band put things on hold for right now?” He raised an eyebrow.

“At the moment yeah. I’m not feeling the greatest and Zara is in rehab. Those two put together really dampens the whole production of an album,” I shrugged and he nodded.

“How is Zara?” He asked, which surprised me. He never really took an interest in knowing Zara or really caring about her.

“Uh, I believe she’s doing okay. Her brother decided it was best for her to only see family, i.e. him, his wife, Cole, her nephew. But I believe that in like a week he is opening it up to friends too,” I answered and Jake nodded.

“Good. I know it probably surprises you that I asked, but Andy has talked about her a couple times and I was curious,” he explained to me and I shrugged my shoulders.

“It’s fine. I was a little surprised, but it’s whatever,” I smiled and then looked up at Andy, who was still singing into the mic. “So why is it only you and Andy here today? Where’s the other three members of your band?”

“Well, Andy needed to lay down some vocals and all of us already did our recordings. I just decided to come in today with him because I’m one of the producers on the album,” he answered and I nodded. The two of us then got quiet and watched Andy do his thing. Watching Andy sing was making me miss recording music for my band. But with the whole Zara situation and me being so sick all the time we can’t. From inside my pocket, I felt my phone vibrate and then it began to make noise. Immediately I pulled it from my bag and answered it.

“Hello,” I answered and waited for the other person to respond.

“Hey Sadee, it’s Matt. Are you busy today?” He asked me and I bit my cheek.

“Not really, I’m just watching Andy lay down some vocals but after that I’m free, why?” I asked.

“Me, Callum, Brett, and Chris are meeting at Easten at around 2, can you be there?” He asked.

“Why are you all meeting with Chris?” I asked and he sighed.

“We need to know where to go in the future, when it comes to the band,” he answered and I nodded before taking in a deep breath.

“I’ll be there. I’m not promising that Andy won’t be there, but I’ll be there,” I told him and he chuckled.

“Whatever,” he responded and then hung up. I rolled my eyes and let my phone drop into my lap. When I looked up at the booth, Andy was putting the headphones onto the holder and then made his way from the room and out to where the rest of us were. The recording tech gave Andy a thumbs up.

“Okay Andy, that is all we needed you for today. Once the others come in and do more of their recording, we can get you back in,” the tech smiled at Andy and Andy nodded.

“So I’m free to go?” He asked and he tech nodded. Andy then turned to me and smiled, holding his hand out. I sighed before grabbing my phone and his hand and standing.

“You sounded great in there,” I told Andy as the two of us walked down the hall towards the door.

“Thanks. You looked a little bored,” he chuckled.

“I wasn’t bored. Watching you record is fun, makes me miss recording myself, but it’s fun,” I sighed and he laughed.

“I was joking,” he smiled down at me. “What else is on the agenda today?”

“Well I have to meet up with my band and Matt at two, to talk about Zara presumably, but after that I’m free,” I responded with a smile before climbing into the car and waited for Andy to do the same. Once he was in, he started the car and began to drive off.

“Wanna grab some lunch quickly before you head to the meeting?” He asked and I shrugged.

“Sure, but only if we go to Severly,” I leaned my head over at him and smiled.

“Whatever,” he smirked and then turned onto the street that Severly was on. When he stopped the car, we both got out and began walking into the building, hand in hand. After we were seated, I looked across the table at him and smiled.

“What?” He asked as he rose his eyebrow.

“Which room in the house are we going to turn into the baby’s room?” I asked him and he pursed his lips.

“Um, Callum’s kids old room?” He suggested and I thought. It is the smallest bedroom in the house and has a rather large window on the edge wall. I leaned back in my chair and put my arms over my chest.

“I like that idea. So would you be mad if I started shopping for our child?” I asked and he shook his head.

“Not at all. We have next to nothing for the baby, so you buying some stuff wouldn’t make me mad. Oh, by the way, my parents are coming out next week to visit for a while. And my mom said she is excited to talk baby with you,” he warned me and I laughed.

“Well you’re mom is excited to finally be getting a grandchild,” I smiled and he rolled his eyes.

“She knew she’d get one eventually, even if I were still with Juliet,” he joked and I rolled my eyes.

“Have you told your mom?” He asked after a while and I sighed.

“I’m not sure if I even want to tell her,” I bit my lip and looked into Andy’s eyes.

“Sadee, she’s your mother, she should know,” he sighed and I groaned.

“I know that, but she was the one who decided to burn the bridges between the two of us when she took her damn husband’s word over mine,” I straightened my back and Andy sighed again.

“But imagine how upset she will be if she learns about the baby from someone that’s not you,” he reminded me and I groaned again.

“I will think about telling her, that is all you will get from me about that subject,” I told him and he nodded. The waitress then came over and took both of our orders before walking away.

“So what do you think you guys will talk about at the band meeting today?” He asked.

“I think we’re going to talk to Chris and Cole about what kind of progress Zara has made in rehab and then what we are going to do with her when it comes to the band,” I answered and he nodded.

“What do you think you guys are going to do about the band?” He questioned and I sighed.

“I’m sorta scared that they are going to say that until she regains control over her life and all that, that the label is going to find a temporary replacement so we can get on with making a new album,” I told him and he nodded.

“Even if that happens, it would give Zara the time she needs to get better and go to therapy to control her mind when it comes to CC and their failed relationship. And having a temporary drummer isn’t the end of the world because they would record the stuff and the label wouldn’t do a tour until Zara can come back,” he reassured me and I sighed.

“Let’s hope,” I said and I stared down at my hands. I don’t mind having a temporary drummer for the time being while Zara gets the help she needs. What I am worried about is that the label is going to want us to get a move on making a new album. Which, of course, I don’t mind at all, singing is my passion and I absolutely love it. It’s that it’ll put a new heavy weight of stress over me and I’m scared it’ll do something to me and my unborn child. Hmph, who would have thought that I would actually be worried about my unborn child when just a week ago I wasn’t sure if I even wanted it.

Notes

Have another chapter! I am sorry for the random amounts of days between each chapter. But I am going to try to write on a more regular basis.

The next chapter is going to partially be the meeting with the band, Matt, and the others, and partially a few days later.
