***AUTHORS NOTE- I do not own these bands. I am only taking credit for the originality of the story and the characters I have made up. To say that I am disappointed in the fact people can't understandably get that probably none of us own the bands or any brand name is an understatement. Anyways, enjoy the sequel to The Best Day Ever, Shattered Glass. ***
Those two days would never leave my mind. All of my new friends around me. My bestfriend Kenzie and my own time were spent with Black Veil Brides and Pierce The Veil. They were our hero's; they saved my sanity to say the least. After my brother had died I looked to music to comfort me; music would never hurt me and I was glad for that. Over the couple months after my brother's death music was really my only friend except for my bestfriend; she knew it all, she was there for me the whole time, and she even came out to his funeral when I truly needed her. I was grateful for that, for having such an amazing friend to make me laugh when I knew I would have been depressed without her there. His death was bittersweet. Bitter because he was gone but it was good that he was; he wasn't the best person in the world but he tried sometimes. He always had to battle his demons but know he was finally at peace with my Grandfather and his two bestfriends who had overdosed a few years prior. I was just glad he was at peace now but as my older brother he still tries to fuck with me; for example, about a month after he died we had most of his stuff packed in boxes in his room, they were stacked upon each other neatly but one day when I was home by myself I heard a very loud crash that scared the shit out of me I ran to the room figuring it might have been one of the cats we had but they were all in my living room. I made sure of it. Crazy as it sounds I just knew it was him. Anyways enough of that, no need to dwell on the past. I can still replay the moment when Andy Biersack told me he loved me perfectly. He promised he would call or text me whenever he could which he stuck to. Just knowing I was in a loving relationship with someone that treats me like a precious gem was unbelievable. I couldn't ask for anything better than him. It has been almost two months since that day at Warped Tour when I met the most amazing people. Kenzie and I had, as promised, kept in touch with everyone; Mike, Tony, Vic, Ashley, CC, Jake, and Jinxx. Kenzie would inform me on Jaime since they're dating and I would tell her everything going on with Andy. Kenzie and I had just started our last year of high school two weeks ago and I had just begun to memorize where my classes were located and when they were. i was sitting in the middle of Spanish, it was my third of four classes today. I felt my phone vibrate numerous times knowing somebody was calling me. Thank god I remembered to put it on silent today; I think everyone was getting sick of covering for me when "Can't Stand It" by NeverShoutNever would begin to play; it was Andy's ringtone and text tone. My phone vibrated one final time telling me whoever called left a voicemail. Almost all of my teacher's let us listen to our music as long as it didn't disturb the two next to us; luckily I sat next my two bestfriends, Kenzie and Erika. We had the same tastes in music so we didn't care if it bothered either of us because we liked it. The teacher finally told us what we were waiting for. "You may now work on your journal for next class and listen to your music, if you'd like." Of-fucking-course I'd like! I reached into my Nike bag to grab my headphones and plugged them into my IPhone. I immediately checked to see who had called in the middle of class. I knew who it was but I always checked. I listened to the voicemail that Andy had left me. "Hey cutie, I know you're in school but I want you to text me when you get this, I love you so much, bye" he was such an amazing boyfriend, I wonder what he wants… I texted him back smiling not knowing why he felt it was necessary to call in the middle of class. "Hey sexy pants, what's up?" I went into my music library and began to play my "Writing Playlist" I had a playlist for every class, even gym. "Can you call me like right now babe?" I was starting to worry why whatever he was about to tell me was so important. "Yeah gimme a min" I replied before grabbing the bathroom pass. I started dialing just before I got to the bathroom walking in and hearing a sexy deep voice on the other end. "Hey Babe!" I still couldn't get over how lovely his voice was. "Hey sweetie" I said blushing even though he wasn't even here, I felt ridiculous just knowing he could do that to me just by talking. "Guess what" he said with clear excitement in his voice. "What babe, I gotta get back to class soon." He sighed knowing I was still in school. "Well I'm off until after New Years! I figured I'd spend some or a lot of time with you" I almost screamed with excitement "No fucking way! Andy are you serious?" I whispered in a loud manor. "As serious as I could ever be. The guys and I already booked rooms in a local hotel and besides October we'll be there the whole time." I was now shaking with excitement knowing I would have a full 3 months with my boyfriend. "Oh my fucking god I cant wait to see you and hug you and UGH!" I was so happy. I had to go because my teacher would soon come looking for me. "Babe I'm so excited and I'll tell Kenzie but I really have to go, I love you so so so much!" "Well if you must my love, I love you too. call me when you get home, bye" I hung up and practically ran into my classroom composing myself before walking in. Kenzie looked up with a confused expression not knowing why I was smiling this hard. "Guess what" I whispered. "What? Why are you smiling like an idiot?" "Guess who's boyfriend is coming here to spend three months, excluding October, with his amazing girlfriend?" I don't think I've ever had a smile this big plastered on my face. "Dude, no fucking way? No way he's not." I just nodded. We bounced in our seat for a moment before the teacher told us to calm down. We couldn't help but laugh at our foolishness and went back to our work while texting back and forth about why and when and a bunch of other fan girlish stuff. I didn't have a class next and neither did Kenzie so we got to leave early as most seniors did. I had finally gotten my license and my mother and my brother Scott congratulated me by getting me a car. At least I didn't have to walk home anymore. We drove to a local coffee shop to re-boost with a pumpkin spice latte and Kenzie got the same. This was our ritual; after 3rd block we would leave and get something to eat, go to one of our houses to eat dinner then we would part ways to go home. "So, when is he getting here?" Kenzie asked as she sipped her drink. "I have no idea, we only talk for the time I was in the bathroom so I didn't get much information." "Maybe you should call him now" she said it as if it were a question. "Okay?" I said mimicking her. I dial his number and waited for him to pick up. It dialed a few times before the gorgeous voice behind it said "Hello beautiful" Andy dragged out the 'O' in hello when he spoke. He was just too cute. "Heyy baby, I have a question about you and the guys coming down here." I took another sip from my cozy drink. "What is it babe?" "Well I was wondering what day you guys were gonna get here." "We should be there a couple days before your birthday" I smiled at the thought of spending my birthday with him. "No way, that's great timing!" Kenzie was staring at me intently by now. "Yep and I've got something special for your birthday too" "Can you give me a hint?" I hoped he would. "Nope" I knew that he had a smug look on his face when he said it. "Ugh, your such a tease, you know." I could hear him chuckle a bit. "Yeah, I know but you love me so it's okay. But I do have to go we have a sound check for a concert tonight and Ashley is starting to mock us by making out by himself so if you don't mind, I'm going to beat his ass now. I love you Bec." "Tell Ashley I will personally kick his ass when he gets here. I love you Andy, see you soon." He laughed "Okay, I love you, Bye." And with that we hung up. "He said they should be here a few days before my birthday and that he has a surprise for me but he won't tell me what it is not even a damn hint." A frustrated sigh escaping my lips. "Well at least he's gonna be here for your birthday, I doubt Jaime and the boys will come down when mine comes around in December." She made a pouty face; I just lightly slapped her because I knew she was doing it for fun. "ABUSE!" she shouted "Shut up Kenzie, the town doesn't like me with my temper, I don't need them thinking I'm abusive." We finished our lattes and we left; we decided to go to my house for dinner because my mom was cooking her favorite. Venezuelan Steak. It was also my favorite. Venezuelan Steak is butterflied London broil with red and green bell peppers and bacon stuffed into it and it was slow cooked in this delicious tomato sauce. It made my mouth water just thinking about it. As we pulled into my long driveway I sighed, I was home again. My house was simple, 2 floors, a few gardens around the house and lots of flowers. I loved my house even if it did look like a giant pumpkin. I walked in and smelled delicious things coming from my kitchen. Kenzie and I put our things on my couch and ran to the kitchen to see my mom cooking veggies on the stove. "hi, girls! How was school?" we said simultaneously looking at the crockpot with the steak in it. "So when is dinner gonna be ready momma dukes?" Kenzie asked. Everyone called my mom "Momma Dukes" because my brother Dave always had parties and his friends would get out of control sometimes and my mom would come out saying she would beat their asses if they didn't calm down. It was always comical to hear. "It'll be done in 30 minutes Mackenzie." We walked out of the kitchen sneaking some pineapple glazed carrots without my mom seeing us. We grabbed our things from the couch and went to my room down the hall. My room was pretty simple. Its lime green with band posters and pictures I had taken, I loved photography. I had little memories tucked away throughout my room like little figurines and stuffed animals from when I was little. I have a picture that Dave had taken in high school photography that was my absolute favorite that he took, I had it blown up and framed so I could keep it forever. Kenzie was so comfortable at my house; she just got up and sat in my living room to watch some TV with my mom before dinner was ready. I sat in my room looking at all the things I had collected over the years; All of my pictures, figurines, little notes that I had passed between friends. I just sat there and thought of all the memories. I was so lost in thought that I never heard my mom screaming that dinner was ready. "BECKY DINNERS READY!" I finally snapped out of it. I went to the kitchen to make my plate and found Kenzie sitting at my table chowing down. I couldn't help but chuckle, she just loved my mom's cooking and baking; as did I. "So is Andy coming here anytime soon?" my mom asked as if she already knew the answer. I saw Kenzie smirk in between bites; I just gave her a glare that would've said "shut up dumbass." "Yeah, he said something about being here around my birthday" I said it so nonchalantly, like I had said it numerous times before. My mom and Kenzie looked at each other and then at me and almost simultaneously said "Aren't you excited?" of course I was excited, I mean I felt excited; kind of. "Of course I'm excited, I'm just really tired today" as I faked a yawn. I knew what was wrong with me but I couldn't quite put it into words or even feelings for that matter. Thankfully neither of them pushed the matter. I knew Kenzie would later though.
