Authors' note~ Sadly I do NOT own Avenged Sevenfold or anything incorporated with them (I do own all or their CD's and a few posters but that's different). I just own the plot and any other characters I decide to throw in this story.
P.S. ~ this is my first fanfic so if it sucks just hush up now. Reviews are very lovely especially now because I want to know what I can do to improve further stories and this one too. :) Enjoy please :)
Also it's my fanfic so no one is married or engaged in the band. Don't like it, don't read it and don't troll it! This isn't a one shot so there will be more. :)
April 17, 2008
Remember when we performed at Long Beach, our home town, having the time of our lives and of course it was going to be on DVD for all of our fans to watch this amazing night over and over again. But it didn't turn out to be like that. Everything was so much fun until about half way through the show.
I remember that tragic night, no matter how hard I tried to forget. The Rev was being well The Rev, Matt was rocking the stage, and Johnny was a beast with getting all the shit from the girls, but of course we didn't care. You were too busy nailing those solos and having fun and I couldn't help myself from just watching you own those solos and see how beautiful you look under the spot light that night.
We were playing Bat Country and you and Matt were on the platform by my mic stand. Matt started to sing "My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite". He held up two fingers to your head like a gun and pretended to shot you. As moment happened a gun went off and we all ducked down and you jumped off and ran to where I was. Matt got off the platform and ran off the stage to go check on Val. You jumped off and ran over to me and made sure I was ok. Johnny hid by your mic stand and Jimmy tried hiding behind his drums (for someone his height it was hard but it worked).
Behind the platform, center stage, you were rocking me back and forth and saying everything was going to be alright. While you were saying that I felt something warm on my side. I pulled away to see what it was and saw blood on my shirt. I started to freak out when the blood started to go everywhere and you held me closer and told me it wasn't my blood. I looked at your face and saw your worried look and the life fleeing from your face.
I cried for help but no one would go on stage because the guards didn't know who fired the gun. I don't even think that they knew they shot you until I carried you off stage. I ignored what the guards said about staying still. I used my guitar to shield myself as I carried you. Once I was off stage I told Jimmy and Johnny to get off on the other end of the stage. They listened and were safe. Then I ran to Matt with your weak body in my arms. When Matt and Val saw what happened to you Matt tried taking you out of my arms and I refused. Val held in all her emotions while matt was driving you to the hospital. Jimmy followed in the car behind us with Johnny riding with the roadies.
