I'd Die For You

Chapter 21: Bands Are Our Life....

*Andy's pov*

We were working on our songs, it's been a year later, the twins were born. We all ended up getting attched to them. Roku never left them home, other then school but then left them with Mike and Sarah. Since Chris started living with Roku, just to be close to the twins. Mike had Chris room turn into a nursey and play room for the kids. They were only a year on and where just starting to pick up on words and trying to walk. They were cute children but a pain in the as trying to get ready for the school prom that we would be playing. Always needed their dad's attention if Roku wasn't around. Hell even my parents started keeping them busy when they weren't. We were done for the day, we were walking our show for about 6 hours before everyone but Cambria, Chris and Roku had to leave. The others had plans. Ashley was taking Jess on a date, Jinxx and Jake wanted to get back to their studios to work on the music for some of the new songs I came out with. Ella and Alice had a shopping trip with Sarah to take. So yeah it only left us and the kids.

I walked over to the desk and was trying to finish that song I wanted to write for Cambria. There was another one I was working on too but I couldn't think of it. I didn't know that Chris was standing behind, holding Aiden but looking to see what I was up to.

"You know, I could help you like I told you I could. I have a feeling where you might be going with this since, well Roku's parents fucking hate me." He just laughed and seem to forget about the little child in his arms.

"Fu...f....k....fuck! Fuck fuck fuck!" He looked down at the small boy with wide eyes and looked around in fear to make sure that Roku didn't hear it, but it seem the girls went upstairs and he looked at me.

"I didn't...you didn't hear that, we don't know where he learn that word!" He was freaking out. Lexis and Aiden knew the words mama, dada, they knew uncles and aunt. Can't get our names right yet other then Sarach or Cambria. They know grandpa and grandma. So it's like this wasn't their first word. It's just Aiden was bad at picking up things like that. Jinxx said 'shit' the one time and he walked around staying it all day. Roku told him anymore swearing around Aiden and we all would be in on it. We thought she was joking so Ashley was a smart ass about it and she fucking hit him good.

"I didn't hear anything, not my fault you son picks up ever 'fucking' little thing." I smirked and made sure that it would get him in trouble.

"Andy that's not fucking cool!" He just cover his month and just sighs. "You knew I would react like that. Not cool man, not cool!" Now we had a 1 year old cussing. Roku would kill us both.

"Well can't be bad then Ashley teaching him 'pussy' or Jinxx teaching him 'shit'. Then there is other words like 'bitch' or 'asshole' or 'jackass' and so on." I was smirking and I could have swear if looks could kill I will be dead right there. The look he was giving me was one you didn't want to fuck with and yeah he was mad.

"Andy, I swear to god I'm going to knock your teeth out if you keep it up!" He just saids and walked over to put Aiden down, but another thing about these kids, they didn't like to be put down. It's his fault really, always holding them. Aiden screamed bloody murder when he put him down and I couldn't help but laugh because he had pick him up and carry him back over to me. "Just let get these damn songs done and no more swearing." He just sighed and he sat down next to me and we worked on both songs together. I had to give Aiden something to play with, this ball that I had sitting around just to keep him from throwing a fit because we wouldn't let him have the paper and pen.

We worked for hours and the girls came down to check on us before staying they were going to take the kids to the park to play. I know that was my parents in on that one because they only had one kid. Though being a only child gave me everything I wanted. I wonder what it would be like to have brothers or sisters, but I had my friends and they were always good to me. I had my lover too, someone that save my life more then I could ever thank her. I really did love her and that's why I'm glad Chris wanted to throw ideas at me and let me put them into my own words. But the end of the night, both songs were done and I planned on playing one at prom and the other at battle of the bands. So far we were really getting well know and to tell you the truth, I think that's why Liz and Matt having show themselves. Not only that, but James and them got locked up, it turn out they went to the house and from finding so much dry up blood from the shit they did to the five of us. It was enough to lock them up for. But Liz and Matt were both out there yet.

"I think you did a good job with these songs, maybe you just needed that look bit of help." He smiled at me and it was 6 pm when we were finally done. We heard the girls coming into the house with my parents before heading down here. Each of them carrying at sleeping kid. "Hey, it's good that you two are back." He smiles and Roku walked over to him and whisper something in his ear, the fear in his eyes only told me Aiden used some of the words. They put the kids down and Cambria came over to me and hit me with a pillow and just glared at me.

"Teaching kids bad words is going to get both of you in trouble!" She hit me with a pillow again and I just sighed.

"Yeah having a 1 year old playing and is like 'son of a bitch' around other kids. You would not believe the looks we got! I swear Chris, you're on the damn sofa tonight...." Roku just stared at him and I couldn't help to laugh though Cambria had her fingers in my hair.

"Ow, ow OW! Okay, okay I'm sorry it was all me, he was telling me that I shouldn't be staying it and I said all the cuss words I could think up! Motherfucker let go of my hair!" She did but they were all looking at me and we all looked at the kids, good thing they were still asleep or I would have my ass kick. "At least they didn't learn about sex yet...." And once again I was hit with a pillow but not by Cambria this time. Roku nailed me with it. "DAMN IT! You girls are so abusive!" I just sighed and I heard a whimper and looked over in fear, hoping to not wake them up but it was good because I didn't.

"Anyways, what are we all going to do tonight? I mean it's like everyone else has plans." Chris just got up to walk around, we been sitting there for 6 hours like really. Everyone left at 12 pm and we just got done with the songs at 6 pm.

"Maybe we can get Mike and Sarah to take the kids and all of us can go to a movie. Unless we all just want to hang here and not bother them to watch the kids. We just have to make sure they stay asleep." Roku smiled and I like the other idea better. Just staying home and watching moves. The others agree to that and we moved the kids to the guest room downstairs before just walking a horror movie.

The girls were watching the movie and really into it and I looked over at Chris and he just smirked getting the same idea I was and that fast we scared the hell out of the girls that they scream and even woke up the kids. We both got beat with a pillow for the one. It wasn't until the movie was over. The kids asleep in Roku's and Chris arms, they decided to watch the movie with us. We were all really tired and I looked at the time, it was 2 am and we had school in the morning.

"Are you two staying tonight? I mean it's really late and I really don't want you all driving back. The guest room is open." I smile at them and I know Cambria would stay, I just didn't want the others leaving the house at this time known that there was still evil the lurked in the darkness.

"Don't worry we are staying. The guest room is okay. We made sure to bring the playpen. That way the kids don't get up and ruin anything." The girls walked off to get the playpen as Chris carry both kids into the guest room. Neither of them thought they would be parents at 17, it was really hard from them at first bu now that they been doing this for a year and was 18 now. They seem so go about it. Having twins were not easy and Roku did have a lot of issue with them, and Chris could have kicked himself when it got to the point that it was her or the kids. But everything was good now. The kids were fine and so was Roku. I know Cambria punched him over and over again when she found out Roku was in the hospital in a life or death thing.
"Hey, you know, we have until next month to play for the prom. Do you think this will be the big chance we need? I mean the day after is the battle of the band. If we get bit, we can move back to LA and we can sign up with a record company and everything. I mean if you're okay with that. I know LA hasn't been good for you but I feel that is where we need to go to make BVB something big." I seen him stop and just looking at the kids. It's like he was trying to think for a bit before looking up at me.

"I think going back to LA would be a good thing. There is a lot of people there that could help us, we could have our own houses if we get this band known well and I think I know some really good people out there too. We can get help from other bands too and make so many friends. I really think it would be a good idea and I know the kids will love it there." He smiles a bit and goes into the room and put the kids in their playpen, they were fast asleep and probably wouldn't be watching up. "I mean it Andy, if you want anything big to come to this, you need to go where it will get most of the support that you need." He just went to bed with Roku and I was left there in the family room with Cambria.

"What you say? Move to LA after we get out of school?" She just smiles and I knew she wanted that more then anything. We both went to my room and went asleep, in a month would be prom and our last day of high school hell and the day after will be battle of the band. Then after that start looking into somewhere to move that all 12 of us can live in LA until we can get going. My parents already offer to help, so did the other's parents. They would help us live this dream.

*A Month Later*

We were on the stage getting everything set up for the prom an hour before it started. We were working on making sure all the things were ready that I had a mic that work and didn't cut out. The girls would be watching from the back, with us being on stage the whole night, we went on at 8 and wouldn't get off until 9. Giving us an hour to play and let people hear our music. Then after 9 we would be with the girls until 10 and then go home and sleep, only to get up early like 6 am to get everything ready and got to battle of the bands that could take up to 5 or 8 pm at night. We had a busy next days, and we were all starting to work on packing too at our homes. We were playing to move by next week to go to Cali. Mike found us a house, for all of us. It had 6 rooms meaning even the twins would get their own room.

"Andy, you and your friends have 20 minutes before everyone gets here. I hope you kids know what is at stake here." The teacher was looking at us. There was a band the school hired but they were running late so they need someone to fill in. This teacher had no idea. We been playing battle of the band. There was a lot of people happy we were playing tonight.

"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed." Cambria just smirked and the teacher walked off. As we wer getting more and more things ready. The girls went off to the back and we finished getting ready and playing a bit.

"You guys are really for this right?" They all nodded and we could hear everyone filling into the room when I gave them a sign, we started with a song called Knives and Pens. From there we went on to Sex and Hollywood, All My Hate, And some much more songs. when it got close to 9 and for the next band to come on. I decided that I was going to sing one of the songs I wrote with the help of Chris. "This last song from us tonight goes out to my beautiful girlfriend and the love of my life. My brothers help me with this song, I been working on it for 4 years since I met her. This song is called The Mortician's Daughter." I smiled at Cambria and I could see her almost in tears. I began to sing as the guys played.

I open my lungs dear
I sing this song at funerals...no rush.
These lyrics heard a thousand times,just plush.
A baby boy you've held so tightly,
This pain it visits almost nightly
Missing hotel beds, I feel you touch.
I could just kept looking at Cambria, I couldn't look away as I sing the words. I knew this would be her song. I know her too well. I smirked a bit thinking this to myself and kept singing.
I will await dear, a patience of eternity, my crush.
A universe so still.
No rust.
No dust will ever grow on this frame,
One million years, and I will say your name.
I love you more than I can ever scream.
We book our flight those years ago,
I said I loved you as I left you go.
Regrets still haunt my hollow head,
But I promised you that I will see you again, again.
I sit here and smile dear.
I smile because I think of you and I blush.
These bleeding hollow dials, this fuss.
A fuss is made of miles and travel.
Roadways are but stones and gravel
A bleeding heart can conquer every crush.
We booked our flight those years ago
You said you loved me as you left me.
Regrets still haunt your saddened head,
But I promised you that I will see you.
We booked our flight those years ago
I said I loved you as I left you
Regret's no longer in my head,
But I promised you and now I'm home again, again, again, I'm home again, again again.
I'm home again.

I smiled at her and I know she was going to kick my ass probably for singing this in front of EVERYONE. The lights went off and we got off the stage and all out things pack back into the trailer we take to battle of the band. We walked out to where the girls were and Cambria hugged me tightly and punch me but it wasn't a painful hit.

"I love you but hate you so much at the same time! But I love the song." I just laughed at her and smirked.

"Maybe I'll let you sing it with me when we get this band going to even higher levels." I just hugged her back and I was happy that she really love it. "You can thank Chris, he help me, the Jake and Jinxx help with the music along with Ashley. It really was all of us because we all put our feeling into it. You know for you girls." I just smiled more and we decided to have fun for the rest of the night.

It wasn't until 12 am that we left the prom and was going home. We were all going to crash at the Cambria's house. We needed to get up in 6 hours to get our asses to battle of the band, things were going so good for us and even people kept coming up to us asking if we did partys or anything. We told them that in a month we are moving to LA and that we wouldn't be around but we would try to make as much as we could within a month. When we got to the house. We all went to the rooms we were so use too. It was night not having the twins, Mike and Sarah were keeping them until we got back from battle of the bands. It's good that they had so many people willing to babysit them. They are a part of the band and I couldn't wait until they got a little older. Chris even couldn't wait for that. There was so much he wanted to teach them both. Aiden to follow his foot steps, make little tiny rockers out of both of them. Roku didn't mind, she wanted to work on her writing. Ashley wanted to do a bunch of things and had a college already picked out. Even Ella and Alice had what they wanted to do. We all wanted to do something more then just our band and LA would be the place for that.

My alarm woke me up at 6 am in the morning and I was till tired. Though I got up and got coffee. I ended up waking up everyone else and we just got into the van and was heading to battle of the bands, we were all half asleep yet and it's why we left early so we could get there and sleep some more. With a 15 person van, we had room to sleep. We ended up getting there at about 8 am and we slept in the van, setting the alarm to get up at 10 since we needed to be on stage at our normal time 12.

Before we knew it, the alarm was going off and someone was knocking on the window. I was up before I know it and trying to wake up everyone else. It was 11 so we were going to have to refuse around. "GUYS IT'S TIME TO SET UP! WE OVER SLEPT!" That's fast everyone was up and we moved the van to the stage we were going to play on and getting everything out of the trailer and to the stage, we could hear everyone talking, while we were getting ready. I was going to do the other song I made for Cambria since we couldn't only have one song. I think it would be enough to win again.

"Everythings set up Andy, we will watch from the crowd." The girls follow Cambria off the stage and she turn back to me and looked me dead in the eyes. "Don't you think of singing that song here. I will kick your ass this time."

"Oh I have something else plan." I looked at the boy and they nodded, they were ready for this. I walked to the mic and everyone's eyes were on me. There was more people then before and I could see that Jake was trying to keep his cool about things. I smirked seeing the girls. "Hello everyone, we are back again and Black Veil Brides has come up with a new song for all of you. This is the first time ever playing this song and you are all lucky to be the first to hear this. This song is called Rebel Love Song. This is decated to our girls." I could see the look from Cambria and she wanted to come up here and hit me or something. "This is for you Cambria." I smirked more and went right into singing as the guys played.

I cannot hide what's on my mind
I feel it burning deep inside
A passion crime to take what's mine
Let us start living for today
Never gonna change my mind
We can leave it all behind
Nothing's gonna stop us
No not this time
So take your hand in mine
It's ours tonight
This is a rebel love song
Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die
This is a rebel love song
My outlaw eyes have seen their lies
I choke on all they had to say
when worlds collide what's left inside
I hold on tight and hear you pray
Never gonna change my mind
We can leave it all behind
Nothing's gonna stop us
No not this time
So take your hand in mine
It's ours tonight
This is a rebel love song
Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die
This is a rebel love song
Wild and running for one reason
They can't stop us from our freedom

The guys sing that part with me that even shocked the hell out of me that they did the girls had their eyes lock on all of us and the people in the crowd were going crazy, what shock me more was there was a scout that look like they came from hollywood looking right at me, at us and I just smirked. This could get us to LA faster then a month. I finish the song with pride now.

Never gonna change my mind
We can leave it all behind
Nothing's gonna stop us
No not this time
So take your hand in mine
It's ours tonight
This is a rebel love song
Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die
This is a rebel love song
So take your hand in mine
It's ours tonight
This is a rebel love song
Hearts will sacrifice
It's do or die
This is a rebel love song.

We played some other songs people didn't here before either like Coffin, Fallen Angels, Sweet Blasphemy, The Legacy, Saviour, This Prayer For You and to end it Sex and Hollywood.

When the last song came to the end, there all cheer it was the loudest we ever got out of these fans, I was in shock, I really was in shock, I was happen and I couldn't believe everything that was going on. We ended up going off stage, only to come back and rip everything down and put it in the trailer before we closed the back. The girls just ran to us and hugged us. They were so proud of us because we gave that song all we had. What shocked me more what the scout can to the back looking for us.

"You kids are amazing, I really would love to hear more songs for you. Maybe you can show me sometimes. People around her always say that you seem to win that you have a good message about your songs and that one you just play the Rebel Love Song. I never seen a bunch of kids play like you five have. I would really like if you can to my bosses office in LA." We all just looked at each other and were in shock. This dude is kinding right.

"You really mean it? I mean we been planning on moving to LA for a while and mostly because of this dream but we have some other ones too. You can really help us????"

"Yeah, how does coming to LA sound for next week? I can get you all tickets, free of charge for you all or I can pay to move all your stuff to LA if you want." We were all thinking of this and we couldn't believe it.

"Well, we have a house that we want to get since there is 12 of us. I have two small children and a pug." Yep, even though Aiden and Lexis torture poor Lily, they only like to cuddle her too much or try and give her a hair cut with or dress her up.

"It's fine, I'm sure if I only sign one of you, that you won't come, so I'm taking all of you. Here is my number, when you get to take to your parents and yourself. I will be happy to take and make plans." He smiled. "My name is Jon by the way." He walked off before we just looked at each other. We had to wait for all the other bands to play.

"You know this is the chance that we need. We just have to tell our parents we need the money to live out there, the address to that house and I'm sure that Jon guy will cover the reason for us meaning we won't have to spend on other things like gas and that. It would be a cool thing." I just looked at everyone and they all smile.

"Dude! We can make it big just let we wanted! No one can touch us now!" Jinxx was happy and walked around already on the phone with his parents and trying to get them to hand over the money that he needed. Chris walked away to ask his dad about that house and where it was and how much we needed to put down to get it. Turn out that his dad send a down payment and that they would be happy to hear that we wanted to move in sooner then a month, like next week.

After all the bands played of coruse we were one of the bands that people picked over 10 or so. There was only three winners and only one that was taking anything home. The other bands hated us because we kick so much ask and we always had new songs. We stand there with our heads high as they called out the last three bands and who should win. I'm not going to lie, I'm glad once again we won. I feel bad but that's just how it is. I looked for Jon and when I seen him I nodded and he knew to come back to the stage where we all mean.

"Have you kids thought about my offer?" He knew we did and he was waiting. I love there was a scout in this place. It really help.

"We did and we talk to our parents. When you are ready for us to move, we will make a move. Just need a week to get everything pack and after that we are ready then. You said you would help us move right? We can't really take a plane, we have too much stuff between the 12 of us." I was speaking for my band and he liked that even more.

"Whatever you need, I'll talk to my bosses about getting you kids that. They are really interested in meeting you. You kids are really good and with the right help and someone to lead you all. We can make them songs something other then songs. I will contact you if you like. With everything." I wrote down our names, the band name, our numbers, emails and gave it to him. "It's nice to find a young band like you kids. It's nice talking to you Andy, will get back to you." He was off and on his phone. I turn and looked at the others and the girls screamed in happiness.

"This is the best thing ever dude! We are taking this to the next level!" Chris just hugged Roku and he really couldn't wait to get home and tell the kids and the dog. This was really the best day of our life and that night we all went home, not only winning our last battle of the band, but by next week, having a record company sign us and be living the dream I wanted before I met any of these people. I'm glad they are in my life and next week I couldn't wait to move into our new home. We all went home that day and packed and got ready for the big move, first getting done with high school, saying bye to our family and the friends we made after getting rid of James and them. But next week, things would be even better. I just wonder how he was going to move 12 people and a dog and all our stuff. Guess we have to wait and see what Jon pulls. He would call me I guess.
