Tinsley Rome watched Lincoln dragging the old man's body across the back alley.
The bus driver was still alive, choking on his own blood, when Lincoln threw him in the dumpster.

Tinsley wondered who cut his throat. Lincoln or Calvin? Probably Lincoln. Lincoln's fucking crazy. Wiping his bloody hands on his jeans, Lincoln closed the dumpster lid and looked over at the Black Veil Bride's tour bus. He made eye contact with Tinsley who was hiding behind it, watching him. "Get on the fucking bus! Hurry up!" He growled.

Tinsley turned and hurried toward the bus door. She was trembling with excitement.
The bus! She was getting on the bus! Her idols rode this bus! The stairs leading onto the bus had a trail of blood going down them. She saw Calvin holding the bloody knife as soon as she turned the corner into the hall. He was standing further down the hall, rinsing the knife in a sink Kitchenette.

None of them noticed the kids...

Not at first.


Lincoln boarded the bus and drove it out of the back alley while Tinsley was busy gawking over the Black Veil Bride's luggage. She was touching them in awe as she made her way past the closed curtain bunks to the back of the bus. She wanted to know every detail of this amazing place. Calvin stopped her before she got to the back and told her to go check the bathroom and make sure no one was in there.

Tinsley's hazel eyes blinked rapidly. "What if there's something in there?" She asked.
"Then you call me." Calvin answered, shaking the long red hair out of his eyes. There wasn't anyone in the bathroom. Tinsley sat on the toilet just so she could mentally immerse herself in the thought of sharing the same toilet seat as her favorite band in the world. It was moments like these that Tinsley really appreciated her pimps.

Lincoln and Calvin.

She found them after she ran away from her foster home when she was 16.
They were standing outside of a nightclub and asked her if she was lost. They took her under their wing and gave her a place to stay. All she had to do in return was sleep with whoever her pimps told her to. She got pregnant from a customer when she was 17.
Her pimps let her have the baby, a girl. Tinsley's daughter. She named her Heaven.

Then one day when Heaven was just a few weeks old, Lincoln sold her.
He said she cried too much. It hurt Tinsley's heart so bad that she tried to kill herself last weekend. Not wanting to lose their piggy bank, her thirty year old pimps decided to make up the loss of her baby, by taking her to see her favorite band. Tinsley loved the Black Veil Brides.

Her foster home bedroom used to be covered in their posters before she ran away.
Lincoln and Calvin drove her over 100 miles just to meet the band tonight. Unfortunately they didn't realize the show was already sold out and they didn't have any tickets for her to get into the building. Tinsley was devastated as she begged the big security guards at the doors to please let her in, but they turned her away.

She was sobbing as her pimps tried to argue with the guards to let her in.
The security wouldn't budge though and said if all three of them didn't leave the property they would call the police. That's when Lincoln got the wonderful idea to send a bomb threat.
"They'll have to evacuate the building. Once everyone's out I can sneak you in." He whispered to her as he pulled out his cell phone. Tinsley was smiling. He loved her.

Things didn't go exactly as planned. Lincoln was furious when he heard the concert start.
They didn't take his threat seriously. He wanted to slash the tires on the tour bus.
That way, when the band finished playing they would be forced to wait for the tires to be replaced. That would be the perfect time to get Tinsley to go up and meet them outside.

They thought the bus was empty as they snuck up to it.
Everyone should have been inside doing the concert.
The bus driver surprised them when he suddenly opened the bus doors.
The three of them ducked behind the bus but they had already been spotted.
"-HEY! I see you trouble makers there! You better keep moving or I'm calling security!" He yelled. Troublemakers? Tinsley wasn't a trouble maker! All she wanted to do was meet Black Veil Brides.

Calvin and Lincoln bum rushed the open bus doors, while Tinsley stood back behind the bus.
The old man barely got out a scream before all was silent. Seconds later, Lincoln was dragging the bloody old man off the bus. She didn't know why they killed the old man.
She didn't even know why Lincoln stole the bus. Maybe to get rid of the crime scene?

Suddenly the bathroom door came flying open. Calvin had a serious look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Tinsley asked jumping up from the toilet seat, now.
"We've got a major fucking problem!" He growled.
"Well what is it?" Tinsley asked as Calvin backed up and silently pointed toward the closed door in the back of the bus. "Look in that room and tell me what the fuck that thing is laying by the couch!" He demanded.

Scared now, Tinsley cautiously made her way toward the door and pulled it open, expecting to see some sort of deformed animal. It was a backroom with a mirror on the wall and a large couch. Right in front of the couch was a white baby bassinet with an attached mobile.
Tinsley smiled.

She was about to turn back toward Calvin and state the obvious, that it was a bassinet, when she suddenly saw the movement in the bassinet. Heart pounding, Tinsley quickly walked up to the bassinet and found herself staring down at a bright blue eyed baby girl. The baby smiled when she saw Tinsley and kicked her legs under the pink teddy bear blanket on top of her.

"Oh my god..." Tinsley cooed, "That's Andy Black's baby!" She said reaching down into the bassinet. Tinsley couldn't remember the little girl's name but she knew Andy Biersack aka Andy Black, the lead singer of her favorite band, recently had a baby girl, with his wife Juliet.
The baby was squirming as Tinsley held her, but her heart was already melting.

"You are sooooooo cute!" Tinsley gushed to the infant, kissing her little cheeks.
Calvin came up behind her. "What the hell is that thing?!" He hissed to her.
Tinsley turned around, cradling the little girl in her arms close to her chest.
"It's Andy's baby girl! Look how cute she is! Oh, Calvin can I keep her?! Please? Pretty, Pretty please let me keep her!" "Are you crazy?!" Calvin exclaimed. Tinsley held the girl tighter.

"Please! I don't want anything more in the whole wide world than to be a mommy! See she was back here all by herself! Her mommy didn't love her! But I can love her! She can be my daughter! I already lost my first Heaven but you can make it up to me by letting me keep this new Heaven!" She explained. The baby cooed in her arms. "See? She loves her new name!" Tinsley said.

"What the hell is going on back there?" Lincoln called from the front of the bus as he was driving. Calvin sighed, "You stay back here! Close the fucking door and don't let Lincoln see you with the kid!" He warned before making his way back toward the front of the bus.
Tinsley smiled as she quickly closed the door and sat down on the couch with her new daughter.

"Hi there, Heaven. I'm your mommy now!" She smiled, kissing the girl's forehead.
The baby smiled, blissfully unaware of what was actually going on. "I bet you're hungry huh?" Tinsley said looking around the room for a bottle. She didn't find one but she did find an old breast pump in a bag by the couch. "Oh...you're breastfed aren't you?" She asked the baby.
Of course she didn't answer, but Tinsley just smiled.

"Lucky for you, I used to breastfeed my old Heaven and I still have some milk!" She assured her new daughter. Tinsley settled back on the soft couch, grabbing a pillow for the baby to lay on as she took her shirt and bra off, letting it drop to the floor. She brought the baby to her left breast and after a few seconds of coaching, got her new daughter to latch on to her nipple. "Oh you poor thing! You were starving!" Tinsley gasped as the baby hungrily sucked down the milk. She hummed, as she let Andy's daughter suckle her.

She found herself smiling as she watched the baby girl's blue eyes stare up into her own.
"Is that yummy, Heaven?" She asked. Tinsley was happier than she had ever been in a very long time. Her fragile mind pieced together a fantasy in which she had actually given birth to this baby. Her and Andy Biersack's baby. In her fantasy, Andy got her pregnant and this was their baby together. Andy loved her and their daughter. Tinsley was gloating in the fantasy as she continued to breastfeed Andy's daughter....

Their daughter.

"I'm going to make sure you're nice and full of mommy's milk so you don't wake up Daddy with your crying in the middle of the night later. Daddy's in a very famous rock band and he's been playing for his fans all night. He's going to be very tired when he gets back tonight and -" The door to the back room came open again, destroying her fantasy.

Tinsley made no effort to hide the fact that she was breastfeeding Andy infant daughter. Calvin walked into the room, looking pissed. He stared down at her and confusion briefly came over his face before he just shook his head in disgust. "Listen, we have another problem." He sighed crossing his arms over his chest.

"What is it? Can it wait until I'm done feeding Heaven?" Tinsley asked, running a hand over the baby girl's cheeks as they filled to capacity with her breastmilk. "Nope!" Calvin exclaimed, throwing open the door wider. Tinsley's heart flipped when she saw Andy's son standing there in a blue shirt and soggy diaper, wiping sleep from his eyes with the back of his hand.
Yawning he looked up at Tinsley breastfeeding his little sister and paused, cocking his head at an odd angle.

The only person he had ever seen do that to his sister was his mommy.This curly headed brunette didn't look like his mommy. "Mommy?" Arlo asked confused, wondering where she was. Tinsley squealed thinking Arlo was calling her mommy. She knew Arlo's name because Andy was always saying it on stage whenever he talked about his son in the hundreds of YouTube videos she had watched of the Black Veil Brides. Tinsley patted the seat next to her.

"Come here Arlo! Sit right here by your mommy!" She called. Arlo was confused, sleep still clouding his little blonde head, as he climbed up on the seat next to the teenage girl.
He watched up close as his little sister fed. "Milk?" Arlo asked Tinsley. Tinsley smiled. "Yeah, I'm feeding your sister. Are you hungry too? Do you want some milk?" Tinsley asked offering her other breast to the toddler.

Calvin left the room, shutting the door behind him in disgust at Tinsley's motherly display.
Arlo shook his head no."Me big boy!" He exclaimed, saying he was too old to be breastfed.
"Nonsense! How old are you? Three?" Tinsley asked. Arlo shook his head no again and held up two fingers.

"Two?! You're only two years old? Oh my goodness! You're not too old for breastmilk! I was breastfeed by my real mom until I was almost 4!" Tinsley lied. She never even knew her real mom. She died in childbirth. Arlo just stared at her. Tinsley was still trying to convince Arlo that breastfeeding was good, when the bus suddenly came to a screeching halt. All three of them almost fell off the couch.

It scared the baby so much that she started crying.Tinsley quickly stood up, rocking the baby girl and trying to get her to calm down when Arlo went running toward the door to open it.
"Bus - stop!" He stated the obvious. He opened the door and ran straight into Lincoln.
Lincoln growled when he saw the 2 kids and Tinsley.

"Please, Lincoln! Let me keep them! They're my babies!" Tinsley begged. She was still holding onto the baby when Lincoln slapped her across the face. "Are you out of your fucking mind?!" He snapped. Tinsley began to cry. "Please! I just want to be their mother!" She sobbed. "Throw those fucking little bastards off the bus!" He demanded.

"What?" Tinsley gasped. "I SAID- throw them off the bus! Just throw them outside so we can get going!" Lincoln replied. "But they're just babies!" Tinsley cried.
"I DONT GIVE A FUCK! I HATE KIDS! EITHER YOU THROW THOSE LITTLE BASTARDS OFF THE BUS RIGHT NOW OR I'LL SLIT THEIR LITTLE FUCKING THROATS!" Lincoln growled. Tinsley was sobbing as she gathered Arlo and his sister, making her way toward the front of the bus.

"Just open the door and kick them out!" Lincoln demanded. Arlo knew something wasn't right.
He was scared and he started to cry, wanting his mommy and daddy. Tinsley tried to comfort him but she couldn't with Lincoln's screams. She was trying to figure out what to do.

Maybe she should kick them off the bus and just run and hide in the bathroom when Lincoln drove off, so she could call the venue and let them know where Andy's kids were.
Maybe they wouldn't have to stay out on the side of the road that long? But it was dark out there.What if a wild animal got to them? Tinsley couldn't do it. She just couldn't abandon these two babies on the side of the road.

Livid, Lincoln grabbed the pocket knife from out of the sink and started storming toward the front of the bus. "Move Tinsley! Get out of my fucking way! I'll just slit their fucking throats instead!" He stated.

Tinsley didn't want to put the kids out on the road but she didn't want Lincoln to kill them either.

What the hell was she supposed to do?
