...And Then She Bled
He cares
"Its no problem sweet heart, it really isnt." Andy says and I just nod. Ashley comes closer to me and pulls me into a loose hug.
"Hey Shaka, I always wondered how old you were... I never got the chance to talk to you though." Ashley whispers in my ear. I look up at him and smile.
"Thanks for caring, I've hadn't had someone to actually care about me since I was 12. Music has been my life." I mumble and they smile at me before 3 more guys enter the bus.
"Hey Ash whos this?" One asks and I smile.
"Her names Shaka, Shaka this is CC, Jinxx and Jake. We're Black Veil Brides." Andy says and I nod. I've heard of them. Heard their first album... but thats about it.
"Cool, I heard your first album awhile back... pretty good." I say standing awkwardly in my towel. The guys don't seem to notice though. Andy takes my hand and leads back to the bunks.
"You can sleep across from me, and under Ashley. I don't want anything to happen to you. Now can I see what he did?" He asks and I sigh before pulling him into the bathroom.
Luckily I have underwear and a bra on... I drop the towel to the ground and his eyes widen. He sees all the burns and cuts, bruises and welts.
"Sweetheart how long has this gone on?" He asks softly and I sigh.
"4 years." I mumble and he shakes his head before handing me an oversized Led Zepplin shirt. I slip it on gratefully and hug him.
"Thanks for saving me." I whisper and he kisses my head.
"Anything for you angel, anything." He murmurs before we head back out to the guys.
"Yay!! A new manager!!" CC cheers and tackles me in a hug. I giggle and hug him back.
"Ya, but I'm a toughy." I tease and they just nod before handing me a binder.
"Thats everything... I think." Jinxx says and I nod before flipping through it.
"Ficken..." I mumble. Yes I speak some german.
"What?" Jinxx asks and I look up with a grin.
"You guys are making over a million. Divide that by 5, subtract the expnesise of touring, the damage you cause, and the crew... You guys are hitting each a 200,000 profit margin per tour. Album sales are getting you roughly the same thing except less expensise so you're hitting a 270,000 profit. If I want to add merch sales thats another 50,000 each. Then add on some extra venues and boom youre packing at least 600,000 each." I giggle as their eyes widen.
"Fucking... are you serious?" CC breathes and I giggle.
"Well thats an esimate. It could be over a 100,000 more or 20,000 less." I say and they all just kinda sit there dumbstruck.
"Oh and if you invest it you could easily make over a mill a year, each." I say slowly and they look at me shocked.
"What??" Andy almost screams and I giggle.
"I thought you were only 16..." Ashley says confused. I laugh before pulling out a folder from one of my bags.
"erm... which degree first?"
"Hey Shaka, I always wondered how old you were... I never got the chance to talk to you though." Ashley whispers in my ear. I look up at him and smile.
