~1 Year Time Lapse~

Me, the rest of Angel’s Demise and Jinxx have been on tour for a year as our European tour turned into an Australian tour, leading to a small tour in Japan, and now finishing off in a US/Canadian tour. It’s our last day on tour and everyone is ready to fly back to LA and settle back into a normal, or as normal as it can get with rock stars, life back home. Angel’s Demise has grown so much and is now nearly as popular as Black Veil Brides.


“Jinxx, get your butt over here!” I called through the bus and the door to the back room was flung open

“I’m coming” Jinxx said as he sauntered through the corridor containing the bunks

“El is gonna be so pissed that he had to wait on you for dinner”

“I know, I know, that boy loves his food almost as much as CC”

Just then Elliot runs onto the bus and leaps on top of Jinxx

“Hurry up, I’m hungry” Elliot says putting emphasis on the hungry

“I would, but now I can’t get up” Jinxx replies and Elliot gets up and offers Jinxx his hand

“Now, if you two are done, we’re headed to Denny’s” I said as I exited the bus, soon followed by Jinxx and Elliot.

Aaron and Elliot had gone back to similar looks, both of them with pale blue hair and almost identical haircuts, as it drove the fan girls crazy and there’s nothing a guy loves more than fan girls. It was so obvious that they were twins now, whereas when I first met them, I never would’ve guessed. Annabelle still had her pink and white dyed hair and hadn’t changed much at all over the past year. Jinxx still looked practically the same, too. I had dyed my hair bright red and Dylen now had dark purple hair and a longer hair style.

As we headed out to Denny’s, weird looks from all the locals as we were now in a southern town, we were stopped by a police officer. Aaron, Elliot, and Dylen all groaned as we had been getting stopped a lot in these southern states. We were practically in our full stage get up. I had decided to go out in jeans and a t-shirt instead of my usual dressy self or with my stage outfit on. Annabelle was wearing her stage outfit, as were Dylen, Aaron and Elliot and all of us had on our makeup, including Jinxx, who would be doing violin in that song I wrote just before our tour started.

“May I ask where you all are headed looking like that” The officer said in a thick southern accent

“Just headed over to Denny’s and then over to the venue for our show” Annabelle answers in her sweet, almost as thick, southern accent.

“Ah, so you’re that Satan band that has decided to show up and disgrace this town”

“Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t realise you were all high and mighty up on God’s list of favourites. Didn’t realise everyone here had to worship your god. Oh and it’s not Satan, it’s called reincarnation, get a book, there’s more than just two religions in this world Officer Twat.” I say and instantly get a look of astonishment from the officer and elbowed by Jinxx.

“Valerey, I’d keep that mouth of yours shut” Jinxx whispers

“I’d listen to diamond eyes if you wanna make your show tonight” The officer says and Jinxx glares at him

“And what exactly are you gonna do? We can talk to you however we like, it’s called freedom of speech, Officer Twat” Jinxx says with venom in his voice and he walks past the officer and we follow, leaving the officer in fear and confusion

“Nice one, guys” Elliot says and raises his hand for a high five, which Jinxx and I return

“And what happened to keeping our mouths shut, diamond eyes” I say, a hint of laughter in my voice

“That’s even worse than ‘Jinxxy’, stop it” Jinxx says in embarrassment

“’Diamond eyes’, I can’t believe I never thought of that” Dylen laughs

“Call me that and I swear I’ll hurt you” Jinxx replies

“Whatever you say, diamond eyes” Dylen says and Jinxx is soon on top of him as they fall to the floor

“Guys, seriously, you’re gonna get us in real trouble” Annabelle warns

“Yea, you guys should get up and save it for the bus” Aaron agrees

“Fine, but when we get back to the bus, you’re dead, Dylen”

“Whatever, diamond eyes”

“Seriously stop it; Valerey make him stop” Jinxx whines

“Alright, Dyl, I think that’s enough” I say

“Fine” Dylen pouts as we walk into Denny’s

We order our food and eat then head back outside

“Sold out show, sold out show” Dylen sings as we walk down the sidewalk back to our bus so we can finish getting ready.

After we’re finished we all head over to the venue and start our sound-check. I sang my wide range as Elliot, Dylen, and Aaron rehearsed their guitar riffs and Anna banged loudly on her drums. We all moved in sync, so used to the sound-check by now that we could do it by heart. I finished my vocal warm-ups just as Jinxx pulled me to the side.

“What’s up?” I ask, a smile on my face

“Well, I was just wondering, maybe after tour we could possibly talk about... You know... Wedding stuff” He says, shy and rambling

I smile at him “Of course” I say as Annabelle finishes her drum warm-ups.

We all go to sit at the table positioned in a separate room as the fans with VIP start to pour in. We get gifts and letters and hugs from almost every fan. Almost. At the end of the line is a girl who looks about 12 nervously shaking and not moving forward in line. Don’t I know that feeling... I get up after all the other fans were gathered in the main room of the venue; I got up, with warning looks from management, and walked over to her. She glanced at me real quick, but went right back to looking down at the floor.

“He- err I uh, w-wrote this let-ter f-for you.” She says quietly and sticks her hands out to hand me the letter, which I accept.

I stand there for a bit, wondering if I should hug her. If I were in her situation, I’d love a hug from the band member, but I don’t know if that’s what’s going through her mind right now. Eh, screw it, I hug her and she stands, in shock, for a moment and then moves her arms to hug me back.

“It gets better, I promise. I used to have terrible anxiety and now I can do meet and greets with no panic attacks. I used to dread the meet and greets because, for the first few weeks I’d panic. Just find something you love and stick to it and don’t worry about what others think because at the end of the day, the only thing that matters to you is yourself.” I whisper to her and she nods

“Thank you” She says

“Now go shove your way to the barrier” I say and she wonders off into the main room.

“You’re so good with fans” Jinxx says, causing me to jump “Sorry, thought you knew I was there” He laughs

“Don’t laugh at me, you nearly gave me a heart attack” I say as we wonder back to side stage and wait for our que to go on

Once we get our que, we all head on stage and as I hear the guitars and drums start to play I take a deep breath and start to sing. This is my life now, and it’s as amazing as can be. A few songs in I motion for the others to pause before the next song
“Alright guys, this is a new song that I doubt you’ve heard yet unless someone’s posted a live vid on YouTube. This is 'Not Alone'” I say and the guitar and drums start back up

~Please
Please don’t leave me here
Not alone
Not again
Not with myself
My thoughts
Bombarding
Pounding
Prying away
Looking for what little sanity
I had left in me~

I sing and get an eruption of cheers from the crowd, much to my pleasure. The crowds on this tour have loved this song so much and I feel especially proud of it as it’s our first real slow song and even though it’s not really finished, there’s no studio cut or anything, the fans love it.

I finish off the song and we go into some more songs before finishing our show.
I walk off stage, still high from the love and cheers of the fans, and find Jinxx

“You did amazing” He says and kisses me

“I know” I say pulling away

“You’re starting to get cocky, watch out we’re gonna have another Andy” He says and I laugh

“Nah, still Valerey, just considerably less anxious”

“We rocked it!” Dylen exclaims as he comes bouncing over and hugs me from the side

“I know, best show of the tour” Elliot says, joining us

“Nah, Cardiff was my favourite” Aaron says, disagreeing with his brother like always

“Well let’s back out to the bus” I say

We all head out, talk to a few fans that had waited outside for us, and climb on the bus

“Well, I’m beat, Night guys” I say heading towards the bunks, followed by Anna, Elliot, and Jinxx

Notes

Super long chapter up. Sorry for the massive time skip. Also, this story will be ending soon as I'm planning on ending on the chapter of their wedding, so if you guys want a sequel let me know and I'll think it over. If I do do a sequel it will probably be several years ahead of this story as I'd want to focus on their life as a couple/family rather than everyone else and the two bands. Anyway thank you guys so so much for reading, I love you all and always stay strong

QOTW: Sequel? Yes, no, maybe?

Edit: Sorry if this makes it show up as a new chapter, but I forgot to say that deadlines for the BVB?Get Scared letters are November 23rd, so hurry up and get those in. Also, to those who have submitted, can you tell me your Twitter or IG account name so I can put that on the paper as well?
