As the opening credits roll Synyster Gates is awoken out of his sleep by someone pounding on the door. "Syn! Syn! Synyster Gates open this door! I know you're in there!" The person on the other side of the door said. Syn groaned and look over at the clock seeing it was after 9AM. He got up and walked into the living room. "Okay, okay. I'm coming." He said and opened the door. "About time. I was starting to draw attention to myself." The man said.
"Hey Matt." Syn said walking away from the door and sitting on the couch. "Jesus you look terrible." The lead vocalist of Avenged Sevenfold said as he closed the door. "Oh jeez thanks. Guess I partied too hard the night before." He said. "I'll say considering Zacky had to bring you home and by that video." Matt said. "What video? I don't remember anything from last night." He said. Matt sat beside him. "Of course you didn't. You were stone cold drunk and by this video." He said sitting his laptop on the coffee table and opening it.
popped up on the screen with a article titled 'Synyster Gates Caught Having Sex With Stripper Outside A Los Angeles Bar'. "What?!" Syn said. "Yep. That's why Zacky had to bring you home." Matt said. "You have no one to blame but yourself." He said. Syn clicked on read full article. "In the video above, Avenged Sevenfold guitarist Synyster Gates is caught having sex with a stripper outside a Los Angeles bar when he had been partying. Later on he is shown being dragged out of the bar by Zacky Vengeance the other guitarist." Syn reads. "Oh this is bad." He said. "Very bad." Matt said. Syn looked at the pictures they scrolled back up and watched the video. "I don't remember anything about last night." Syn said. "Well I'm pretty sure that strippers gonna remember it." Matt said
Syn sighed running a hand through his hair. "Has Hunter seen this?" He asked. "I don't know if him or Steph have seen this. Now come on we gotta get to the studio. You stop watching this and get in the shower, you smell like alcohol." He said shutting the laptop down.
At the studio Syn and Matt walked through the lobby. Syn had his sunglasses on but could tell everyone was looking at him. He kept his sunglasses on so no one could see his embarrassment. He made eye contact with Diamond, the woman he was madly in love with, he could tell she was disappointed in him. Him and Matt walked into the recording studio
Brianna looked at Diamond when she sighed. "Same Synyster Gates." She said. Diamond nodded. "And I have Corey who's still trying to get back together with me." Diamond said. "Jesus Christ." She said. Diamond nodded and sighed again
A few hours later, Syn finishes another solo so the band takes a break and Syn goes to the break room. While eating a bag of chips and looking out the window Syn sees Diamond come in. Diamond walked over to the refrigerator and grabbed a ginger ale. Syn threw his bag away and took his sunglasses off. "I know you probably saw the video." He said. "Everyone has seen the video." She said opening the can. "What were you thinking?" She asked. "I don't know. I don't remember anything about last night." He said. "Look, we've gotten close over the last few years but the Syn I know is in there somewhere. The responsible Synyster Gates. Not this partying every night and waking up with a different girl in his bed." Diamond said. "I'm still the same Syn you met." He said. "No you're not." She said. "Syn, Hunter wants to you." Johnny said. "Good luck." Diamond said. Syn sighed. "Thanks. You look nice today." Syn kissed her on the cheek then went to Hunter's office
Syn walked in after Hunter said come in. "Look if this is about the video you don't have to worry I'm embarrassed enough as it is." He said sitting down. "As you should be." Hunter said. "Syn, look you're one of the best guitar players I've ever seen but you're behavior and attitude over the last few months are really starting to make me regret choosing you over everybody else at that boot camp. I've had executives pull out of deals because of your behavior." He said. "It won't happen again I promise." Syn said. "You're right it won't happen again because you're on probation." He said. "Probation?" Syn asked. "Yes. Meaning that if one of my employees following you tell me that you've gone into a bar or any place that serves alcohol will result in immediate termination of your contract and you will be banned from doing any type of music." Hunter said. Syn sighed. "Fair enough." He said. "Do I make myself clear?" He asked. "Yes." He said. "Good. Now I'll do everything I can to get the video taken down but its the internet it's out there forever." He said. Syn nodded. "Yeah." He said. "Now get back to work." He said. Syn grabbed his hat and walked out of the office and put his hat back on plus his sunglasses
Diamond sat in the control room listening as Brianna recorded he solo for a song they had been working on. She looked up when she heard door open. "Hey." Syn said. "Hey. How it go with Hunter?" She asked. "Well I'm not fired." He said sitting down. "You're suspended?" She asked. "No I'm on probation." He said. "Probation?" Diamond asked. Syn nodded. "Yeah. Hunter's gonna have people follow me and if they catch me going into a bar or any place that serves alcohol it will result in immediate termination of my contract and I'll be banned from doing any type of music." He said. "Oh jeez." She said. "How was that?" Brianna asked. "That was awesome." Diamond said. "Take 5." She said. Brianna sat her guitar down and walked out.
Diamond looked at Synyster. "You guys on break too?" She asked. "Yeah but I'm gonna head back." Syn said getting up. "Syn wait." Diamond said. "What's up?" He asked. Diamond walked over and grabbed his hand. "If you wanna try and score a date with me you gotta change. This partying hard every night and waking up with a different girl in your bed just turns me off." She said. "I know." Syn smiled. Diamond watched him walk out and touch her cheek where he had kissed her earlier. As Matt, Zacky, and Johnny were looking over a song Syn came in. "Well he's still here." Johnny said. "I'm not fired or suspended just on probation." He said. "Probation?" Matt asked. Syn nodded. "Yeah if I get caught going into a bar or any place that serves alcohol, my contract will be terminated and I'll be banned from making any music." He said. "What are you gonna do?" Johnny asked. "Tried not get fired. Music's my life, I love making it, I love playing it." He said.
"Synyster Gates being responsible." Johnny said. "He spoke to Diamond." Matt said. "Yeah I did." He sat down. "She said my behavior turns her off." He said. "Well of course it does. She doesn't drink anymore and she's been sober nearly a year." Zacky said. "Diamond's got a lot on her plate. From Corey to this album I don't know how she does it." Matt said. "I guess its pure talent." Johnny said. As the band gets into working on the song they begin to hear yelling in the hallways and Rev comes in. "What's going on out there?" Matt asked. "Its Corey again. He's trying to get by security but they won't let him in. He tried to get me to tell him where Diamond was." He said. "That man cannot take a hint can he?" Syn asked working on a solo. "No. He can't get it through his head that Diamond don't want him anymore." Rev said
A few more minutes went by and the guys heard Diamond yelling in the hall so they get up and walked out in the hall. "You are starting to get on my last nerve Corey! I'm tired of it! You blew your chance with me. I spent three years on your stupid ass. Three years! Not once did you act like you even cared. You're the reason why I became an alcoholic. Before I met you I had never even taken a drink of beer or anything. Not once. Not once! I'm gonna tell you this one last time leave me alone or I will have a restraining order put against you. I'm not playing anymore." She looked at the security guards. "Get him out of here." She said. The security dragged Corey out of the building as he was yelling. "Diamond wait! Diamond please! I love you! Diamond!" Corey said.
As Corey's voice faded off Diamond ran her hand over her face as the guys walked up. Matt put his hand on her shoulder and Diamond looked at him. "You okay?" He asked. "I will be. I'm just tired of this." She said. "I would be too." He said moving his hand. Syn put his arm around her and pulled her into a hug. "So you were with him for three years?" Rev asked. "Yeah. The most miserable three years of my life. He ignored me half the time and the only time he wanted something was when he wanted sex." Diamond said. The girls from Justice came running up. "Aw man we missed the excitement." Lisa said earning a nudge from Tianna. "What happened?" Brianna asked. "Corey happened?" Rev asked
Samantha looked at Diamond. "Are you okay?" She asked. "Yeah I'm fine." She said. "What did he want?" Tianna asked. "What do you think?" She asked. "Okay you really have to put a restraining order against him." Brianna said. "I threatened him." She said. "Threatening isn't going to do anything. You have physically put it against him." Lisa said. "I know." She said. "Okay shows over everyone get back to work." Hunter said. Both bands went their separate ways but Matt stayed back and watched Brianna walk away. As the band was walking into the studio Brianna looked back at him and smiled a bit. Matt smiled back at her as Syn called his name. "Matt." Syn said. Matt looked at him then began walking towards him.
Later on that day as Syn and Matt were in the studio listening to the song after Matt had recorded his vocals to it. "That's gonna be an amazing song." Syn said. "I know. Its on the flash drive and I'll give it to Hunter later." Matt said. "Hopefully he'll like it." Syn said. "Hey." Brianna said. Syn looked over. "Hey girl." He said. "You got that guitar pick?" She asked. "Yeah hold." He said and walked out. Matt looked at her. "Guitar pick?" He asked. "Yeah." She said as he stood up. "You and Syn go through guitar picks like I go through hats." He said. "Well I think Lisa steals mine." She said. "Maybe Syn is." He said. "I don't know." She said. Matt smiled and looked at her. "What?" She asked. "Nothing you look nice today." He said. "You don't look to bad yourself." She said. "With you jean jacket and Metallica shirt showing off your tattoos." She said. "Well I always do." He said. "Yeah you do." She said. Matt tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear and went to lean in
The door opened about that time. "Whoa. Am I interrupting anything?" Rev asked. Matt looked at him. "No." He said. "Hey Rev." Brianna said. "Hey what are you doing in here?" He asked. "Waiting on Syn to bring me my guitar pick but he's taking to long." Brianna said. "Hold on. I'm coming." Syn said walking in. "Here." He said. "Thanks." She said. "So I heard bit of the song before I came in here." She said. "What did you think?" Rev asked. "From what I heard I liked it. Why don't you guys play it for me?" She asked. "What do you think guys?" Matt asked. "Well we need the rehearsal." Syn said. "Lets do it." Matt said and the guys walked into the booth. Brianna sat in the chair as they began playing the song
This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence
There're more than meets the eye round here look to the waters of the deep
A city of evil
There sat a seven headed beast, ten horns raised from his heads
Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her naked
The beast and the harlot
She's a dwelling place for demons, she's a cage for every clean spirit, every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the Great
Syn performs the solo of the song
This city dressed of jewels and gold, fine linen, Myrrh and pearls
Her plagues will come all at once as her mourners watch her burn
Destroyed in a hour
Merchants and captains of the world, sailor, navigators too
Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky
The beast and the harlot
She's a dwelling place for demons, she's a cage for every clean spirit, every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the Great
Rev and Syn then perform another solo for the song
The day has come for all our sinners
If you'r enot a servant you'll be stuck to the ground
Flee the burning, greedy city looking back on her to see there's nothin' around
I don't believe in fairy tales
And no one wants to go to hell
You made the wrong decision
And it's easy to see
Now if you want to serve above or be a king below with us
You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever
She's a dwelling place for demons, she's a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicate with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the Great
She's a dwelling place for demons, she's a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird
And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicate with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the Great
Brianna claps her hands when the band ends the song. "That was awesome guys." Brianna said. "Thanks. We hope Hunter likes it as well." Syn said. "I'm sure he will." She said. Samantha peaked her head into the room. "Guys Hunter wants to see us." She said. Matt grabs the flash drive before following everyone out, both bands headed up to the third floor to the conference room. Hunter sat at the end of the table as they walked in. "Have a seat guys." He said. They all have a seat and looked at Hunter. "So I just got off the phone and in about three weeks we will be having a showcase and you guys will be performing at it." He said
Everybody starts smiling and talking. "Okay, okay. That means in the next few days or so you guys will have to start rehearsal all while still finishing your new album." Hunter said. Syn looked at Matt. "Did you get the flash drive?" He asked. "Yeah." He said. "So did any of you finish a song?" Hunter asked. "We did." Matt said handing him the flash drive. Hunter handed the flash drive to his assistant who hook the flash drive to the computer. The guys watched Hunter's face as the song played, Zacky tapped his foot while picking at his nails. Diamond reached under the table and squeezed Syn's hand for comfort. Once the song ended everyone looked at Hunter
Hunter sat up in his seat and looked at the guys. "Well guys looks like you have something going here." He said. "So do you like it?" Rev asked. "Yes and I want this song released as soon as you can get it out there." Hunter said. The guys cheered and high fived. "Okay you guys are free to go." Hunter said.
That night, Syn laid his bed eating a sandwich when his phone went off. He grabbed it and saw he had a text message from Diamond. He opened the phone and opened the message. "Come over."-Diamond. Syn finished his sandwich and threw his plate away gathering his stuff and heading to Diamond's apartment. Paying the cab driver Syn walked up to the apartment building and pressed the buzzer for Diamond's apartment and she buzzed him in. Syn walked into the building nodding to the security guard while walking to the elevator. Syn headed to the fourth floor.
The elevator doors opened and Syn walked down the hallway to Diamond's apartment and knocked on the door. The door opened and Syn walked inside, a few minutes go by and the camera pans over clothes thrown all over the floor and soft groans coming from the bed. The camera begins to pan over the bed panning over Syn's tattooed arm as soft moans could be heard coming from Diamond. The camera comes up to the faces as Syn pulls Diamond into a kiss. Tianna and Lisa high five as they beat Zacky and Johnny at another pool game. "Looks like lady luck isn't on your side tonight." Lisa said. Tianna laughs and fist bumps her. "One more." Johnny said. "Okay but don't get mad if we beat you again." Tianna said as Zacky set up the pool balls
The camera pans over Matt's back as he making out with a girl he met at a bar. "You ready?" He asked the girl. She nodded and Matt sat up and the girl scrunched her face up in pleasure. Brianna sat in her home studio working on some of the songs for the album as her brother Roman watched a movie in the other room. Syn rolled off of Diamond with a smile on his face. "That was great." Syn said. "Yeah it was." Diamond said laying her head on his chest. Syn kissed her softly and smiled. "When do you get your license back?" She asked. "In a couple week." He said. "Good. How are you getting around?" She asked. "The bus or a cab or Matt comes and picks me up if he's not hung over." He said. Diamond laughed and kissed him again sliding her hand under the blanket. "Round two?" She asked. "Oh yeah." He said rolling on top of her.
A couple hours later Brianna is woke up by Roman yelling her name. Brianna turned on her lamp and went into Roman's room seeing him on the floor. "Did you try to get up again?" She asked. "I need to go to the bathroom." He said. "The doctor said if you need help getting up call for someone." She said helping him up. "I know but I didn't really wanna bother you." He said. "I know but Roman you tore you ACL and can't walk." She said. "I know." He said as she helped him to the bathroom. "Did you hurt your knee anymore?" She asked. "No I'm alright." He said walking into the bathroom
Brianna shut the door and let him do his business. A few seconds later Roman opened the door and Brianna helped him back to bed. "Now don't get up anymore." She said covering him up. "Okay. Goodnight." He said. "Goodnight." She said turning his lamp off. Brianna walked out and went back to her room and goes to bed
There you go
R&R :) Enjoy
