Chapter 1: Oath
TJ Bell recently decided to join his friend Craig's band, Escape the Fate, after parting ways with Motionless In White. Craig promised TJ, that if he joined that they would be best friends to the very end. Escape the Fate had lost their bassist, Max Green, and were in desperate need.
"You don't mess with anyone, TJ. You don't take shit. So what do you say?" Craig asked.
"I'm fucking stoked, man." TJ replied.
The pair hopped on the bus and sat down with the other members.
"Guess I'm joining you guys!" TJ told Robert, Michael, Monte, and touring guitarist, Kevin "Thrasher".
"You're one cool dude, you know that right?" Monte told him.
"And we'll always have each other." Robert added.
"How fast can you learn the material?" Thrasher asked.
"Not long. Craig's given me a CD of some of the songs and I've been practicing by ear, and have most of them down. Even stuff from the new album." TJ replied.
