Chapter 2. Last Day

My eyes fluttered open as my ipod's alarm clock softly played My Immortal into my ears, stirring me from my sleep. I groan groggily and I can hear my Grandmother snoring loudly in the room down the hall from me. I can't see outside my window, the sun still hasn't risen, it was four AM. I looked out the lightning bugs that still flickered through my window, and then my Dad suddenly burst into the room to wake me up.

He ran over to my bed, and I remembered that he had to leave to get to a meeting for a marketing thing for the band. I don't really remember what the meeting was about. I hate that he has to leave so early, and that he has to be in and out all the time.

"Hey, princess, I gotta go," He leans in and shakes me softly and I let out another tired groan, turning over to look at him. It was four AM in the morning, and he was already decked out in his war paint and leather. His signature painted on tears, where still fresh and not smeared in the slightest.

"Daddy? You'll try to pick me up from school right?" I murmur up at him, and press pause on my ipod, stopping Amy Lee's beautiful voice from streaming into my ears. My Dad grins down and me; "I'll try my best sweet pea. But look, I've gotta get to the studio after the meeting, would you be okay if the whole band just came by to pick you up? We're pretty booked princess."

The whole band coming to pick me up from school? Cool! None of my teachers have really ever met my Dad, since the concerts, recording, practicing and touring. On the first day, my Dad had to be on tour, but he Skyped me when I got home from school. I think the only people at school who've met my Dad, are Bria, Emily, Catherine and Alli.

"Kay Daddy." I smile slightly, but my eyes are still glazed with sleep. Dad leans down, and kisses my cheek; "Good, see ya at three fifteen. Oh, and I'll make sure you can sit next to Ashley on the drive home." He laughs and I sleepily giggle at him. He then turns on his heal and walks out of my room. I rub my head, yawning and stretching my arms out over my head, letting them rest on my headboard.

I roll myself out off bed, and AHHHH! I look at my reflection in the mirror, damn. My hair wasn't completely dry before I crawled into bed the night before and my hair had frizzed up. "Ahhhh!" I scream at myself. But then; My Dad pops his head back in my room, and throws me a brush and a can of hairspray. "Sorry, I was all out of hairspray. You're gonna need this." He laughs at me and smiles then slides down the stair case railing, the chains on his jeans slapping against the bars holding the railing up.

I smile down at the can of hairspray, one of a girl's best friends, which are eyeliner, hair spray, bubble gum, music and leather. My pajamas are loose and the left strap of my tank top falls of my shoulder as I walk into my bathroom. I grabbed the brush and brushed my wild mop of pink and black down as much as I could.

I groaned and plugged in my zebra printed flat iron. I turn the water on, brush my teeth, and wash my face. My flat iron is hot and I grab it in my hand, reaching for my bright orange comb. I run the comb through my hair trying to straighten it out even more so.

I run my cotton candy and raven colored hair through the flat iron over and over; until I see smoke. When almost all my hair is stick straight, I plug my mini flat iron in; turning off my larger zebra print covered one. I straighten my heavy black bangs out, making sure the longer sides of them aren't curling or frizzing up. I spray my head all over with hair spray, and let it settle and cool before gently running my comb through in again.

I feel like leaving it down for the last day of school, I'm having my friends Bria, Catherine, Emily and Alli come over to hang out after school so it's just easier to leave it somewhat simple. I wore it like this everyday anyways, but for picture day and stuff, I leave some down, and pin some up letting it stay in its big natural wavy curls.

I fling my pajamas into my open hamper, and roll deodorant on. I look again, and make sure my bedroom door is closed. And it is, so I walk over to grab my clothes. I can't believe it's the last day of school already. But I'm excited for the sleepover tonight with all my friends, plus Andy, Jake, Jinxx, and... Ashley is going to be here. Not to mention that my best friend Bria, has a giant crush on Jake. It's so sweet the way she talks about him; she's met him a couple of times, just very briefly. I remember the first time; she passed out once we walked out of the room.

I pull out some under garments, and my favorite pair of ripped black skinny jeans, they're covered with purple paint splatters and fairly worn. I love them, they where the first thing I bought from Hot Topic with my own money. And I slip a Get Scared t-shirt on, the sleeves are ripped and drape over my shoulders.

I run back into my bathroom, to put my make up on. I check the clock, and its six AM, so I need to be ready to go in forty minutes. So I line my eyes with black liner, and heavily dust black eye shadow over the black lines across my face, wearing my make-up in the way Andy wears his. But I don't streak eye liner across my chin in a stitched like way, at least not at school.

I dust some sparkly black eye shadow over the already heavily dusted mat black eye shadow from earlier, but the eye shadow is only rimming my eyes, the eye liner is make up that stands out the most. The toned down sparkles around my eyes make me seem somewhat raccoon like; But the streams coming from around my face, my Andy like eye liner looks absolutely perfect. I re-spray my hair all over; to make sure it stays in place.

I grab a thick black head band, and place it in my hair, so it looks pretty on top of my pink hair. The pink is the top layer, and the underneath is black and so are my bangs, but the tips of my bangs are dyed with pink like the rest of the top layer of my hair. My hair isn't glossy, like it'll end up being at the end of the night because of all the hairspray that I use.

I walk back into my room, and I check the clock; it's six twenty. I need to haul my ass down stairs for breakfast. My pull on a pair of studded healed boots and lace them up as quickly as possible. I throw the BVB rosary around my neck, along with my BVB army dog tag, and my black choker. My wrists are covered with BVB, Vampires Everywhere, and Get Scared rubber bracelets; along with some random silly bands.

I head down stairs to the kitchen, and my grandmother is reading the newspaper doing cross word puzzles, and a hot cup of coffee sits on the table for me. Steam slides of the top and I turn towards my grandma; "Thanks for the coffee Grandma." She smiles her toothy smile and I turn back to my coffee, slurping down a few sips; then grab a rice cake and take a few bites. The coffee is hot and bitter, just enough to wake me up completely. I finish off my rice cake, and grab a MONSTER energy drink and pop it into my Hello Kitty backpack.

I look outside, and the bus is pulling around the corner to pick up Bria who lives just down the street. "Bye Grandma. Dad's picking me up from school. Say hi to Auntie Kathy for me please!" My Grandmother was headed off to see her sister, who had just gotten a new puppy named Maggie. So my Grandmother would spend the night at my great Aunt and Uncle's house for the next few days, but we didn't really have a date set for her to drive back or whatever, just come and go and we please kind of trip.

I waved goodbye to her quickly and I headed outside to catch the bus, grabbing my Hello Kitty backpack up from the counter and get out to the side walk just as the long yellow bus pulls up. I can see Bria wave at me from the back. You'd think the cool kids would ride in the back of the bus, but they live in those gated communities, not here in the suburbs. Bria and I are the only ones of my good circle of friends that takes the bus to school. Catherine lives too far for one of the schools busses to pick her up. She lives far out, way out in the country side of Southern California, and yes there is some.

I walk up to the bus, and wait for the door to open up for me. The old grumpy lady whispered "Mothers worst nightmare..." under her breath as I passed by, and I felt like flicking off and give her the finger while yelling "Well you can suck my giant non-existent dick you old bitch." But of course, I am not allowed to say that… well, I can. It's the last day of school. So I just turn to her; "For your information, my mother is gone. So shut up you old hag." And turn away from her and smile at myself. My friend Bria waves at me from our seat in the back. Her black make up worn like the way Jake used to wear his, in the up and down extended streaming teardrops look.

Some of the younger kids whisper at me under their breath; "Creeper" and "Weirdo" and some preppy kid yells; "What happened to you ya emo chick? Ya fall in a pool of ugly?" The blonde bitch snorted at herself and I gave her the finger and she shut up. "What happened to me? I think you mean what happened to you? I'd really hate to be a rude blonde jerk like you, I want to feel sorry for trashy chicks like you, but I don't. So shut up or I'll kick your butt." I smiled and keep walking to the back of the bus to meet my best friend Bria.

The girl shut up as I threatened to kick her butt. Everyone knew that the preppy girl; Carly; was caught in the bathroom, numerous times. She was trashy, why are the trashy chicks the meanest? Must be insecure. I sit down set to Bria and give her a quick hello hug.

"Hey! What's up?"

"I can't believe it's the last day! I can't wait until tonight! It's gonna be so fun!" Bria pulls away from me and then settles her back against the scratched up bus window.

"I know! It's gonna be so fun! Oh and the band's picking us up from school not my having to walk back to my place. Oh my god! We don't have enough room in my Dad's car! You're gonna get to sit on Jake's lap!" I giggle at her and a blush dusts her face. Her crush on Jake was obvious; look at her locker and the first thing you see is the Jake poster she got that came with BVB's newly released album Set The World On Fire. Plus I've kind of read her diary while she was sleeping…. Hey! She is my best friend and she read mine while I was sleeping anyways so now we're even with the diary reading thing.

"Caroline! Alright, if I sit on Jake's lap, even though I'd do it anyways, you have to sit on Ashley's lap!" Her remark then made me blush mentioning sitting on Ashley's lap.

"Fine! I'll sit on Ashley's lap if you sit on Jakes lap!" Bria pouted a little, and then her lips curled into a smile.

"So Care, what we gonna do at your house tonight? Movies? Truth or Dare? Spin the bottle so I can kiss Jake….." Bria blushed a bit, and she seemed to be day dreaming.

"Bria! Stop day dreaming about Jake in front of me!" I laugh at her, and she's blushing harder now.

"Hey, may I remind you about the time you where talking about Ashley in your sleep?"

"Oh God, Bria! Don't remind me!" I groan out I do not want to talk about that.

The bus groaned to a halt, and all the teenagers filed out of the bus, it was the last day; everyone wanted to get it over with. Bria and I walked out of the bus last, and we could both see our friends Catherine, Emily, and Alli waving to us from Catherine's car. Man, I wish I had a car!

"Hey guys!" Bria called out, and we started running towards them, waving and shouting.

We only had to run about twenty yards or so, and Catherine; was playing Falling In Reverse from her cars CD player.

"Can you guys believe it's the last day of school?" Emily bounced up and down, and I started to jump out a down too, and then she started squealing, which really hurt my ears.

"Em, please don't squeal!" I stop jumping, and she seems to calm down too as Catherine handed her a diet coke.

Catherine turned to me, after handing everyone else a soda; "Care, you want some coke?"

"Naww thanks. I got my monster." I let my back pack fall off my shoulder and pull the monster energy drink out of one of the pockets.

"Suit yourself; we gotta get to class, by guys! See you at lunch!" Catherine and Alli headed towards their first period class; Social Studies, Emily headed up to the Library to hand in some books before she went to gym, and Bria and I walked over to the Choir room.

My first four periods, Choir, Language Arts, Social Studies, and Art went by really fast, and I barely even noticed that the lunch bell had rung until SMACK!

"Ouch! Bria what you do that for!" I winced as Bria's homework folder made contact with the back of my head.

"You where zoned out all Art class, what where you doing? Fantasizing about Ashley again?" Bria crossed her arms and smirked down at me.

"No! Just excited for the concert tonight, you're all coming right?" I remembered that all my friends and I are going to Black Veil Brides concert tonight after school, that's why Bria was driving home with me! Wow I am really blanking out here. But whatever.

"Uhh duhhh! I get to see Jakey, why wouldn't I come!" I got up from my chair and walked over to lunch with her.

The sun beat down on us as we walked over the building with the cafeteria in it. Once we got there, the air conditioning was cool against my skin, and it woke me up a bit. The Bria and I made a mad dash towards our table where all our friends where already sitting down waiting for us.

Alli crossed her arms and smirked just like Bria had did earlier; "Took you guys long enough! Was she dreaming about Ashley again?"

"Yeah!" Bria exclaimed as we took our seats next to each other taking our lunches out of our bags.

"Catherine, dude, why don't you just bring your lunch?" Emily glanced sideways over at Catherine, since she was the only one who didn't bring her own lunch.

"Cause I'm scarred that if I bring my own lunch, my little sister Annie will try to poison it or something! Uhg! I'm still mad at her for stealing my black crackle nail polish!" Cat let out a sigh, and I remembered her rant she had when Annie had taken her nail polish without asking.

Flashback:

"ANNIE! WHERE IS MY BLACK CRACKLE NAIL POLISH! DID YOU TAKE IT!" Catherine ran out of her room after frantically searching for her nail polish, it was her birthday and we where all at her house painting each others nails before her party.

She never really did anything big, so we just ordered a bunch of movies, pizzas, got some spa stuff and hair dye; one of those sleepovers all teenage girls have.

The rest of my circle of friends and I started to laugh really hard, as we heard Catherine scream at her little sister. Thankfully, her parents where out visiting Catherine's grandparents for the weekend.

"AHHHHHHH! You spilled it all over the floor! ANNIE! YOU'RE SO DEAD YOU LITTLE BRAT!

End of Flashback.

I laughed a little bit, remembering how Annie had spilt Catherine's most beloved nail polish all over the basement bathroom floor.

"I can't blame ya Catherine, if Eddie did that to me, I'd be pissed, like Inuyasha at Koga!" Bria interrupted my little laughing spasm, but I laughed harder; imagining what Bria would do if her little brother Eddie stole her hair spray or something.

We settled down and ate our lunches like every other day, discussing music, which band was better, but one thing that wasn't so normal; "I'M SOOO EXCITED FOR THE CONCERT TONIGHT!" Alli literally squealed like a first grader, once again; hurting my ears.

"Yes, we all are! You're still all coming over to my place to get ready right?" I dropped my fork back into my half way eaten salad waiting less then a second for a response.

"Hell yeah! I mean, your Dad is one of the Black Veil Brides, I like, love them! It's so cool that he got us all concert tickets!" Catherine had almost screamed the sentence out, but one of the teachers on lunch duty gave us the sink eye, so Catherine flicked the old man off, it's not like we could get detention on anything.

"Oooh! Caroline aren't you excited it's your birthday tomorrow!" Emily sang out, jumping out of her chair to her feet. She darted around the circular table jumping up and down, obviously; she was on a sugar high again. This is going to be fun!

"Yeah! We're all still on for pizza and movies at my place tomorrow night with the guys right? Uhg, I can't believe I'm friends with my Dads friends, it's like he's more my friend then my Dad, isn't that like, creepy?"

"Caroline, when your Dad is as epic as yours, you can be as creepy as ya like! Just look at Michael Jackson! He was popular, but he was a messed up guy, remember what he went to court for!" Alli packed her lunch back into her bag, and Cat threw her leftovers into the grey garbage bin besides our table.

"Alli, EVERYONE knows what Michael Jackson went to court for, we don't need to hear the story again. So, are we all still on for movies, pizza and ice cream at my house for my birthday tomorrow night?"

"Yeah! Are we gonna watch a bunch of scary movies? Ooh, maybe you'll get your cuddle time with Ashley!" Cat teased me and I blushed a little bit when she mentioned the cuddling.

"I sure hope so Em! Ashes is MINE though!"

"Caroline, we've been through this before, I like Jeff Davis. J-E-F-F space D-A-V-I-S! Jeffyboo is mine!"

"I know I know, it's just so cute how much you like Jeff!" Jeff Davis used to be on Drew Careys Improv-a-ganza before it got cancelled, Emily had every episode memorized word for word by heart.

"Alright guys, so glad we get to go home now, I love half days!" We all got up from our table, which was OUR table, it had been ever since sixth grade when we etched our names into the bottom and wrote our names on the top in permanent ink.

We all headed towards our different homerooms to get our stuff together, thankfully, we where all in the same homeroom. The students started to all count down the last thirty seconds of school, and my anxiety levels where higher then Charlie Sheen!

"Ten… Nine….. Eight…. Seven….Six….FIVE….FOUR….THREE….TWO…ONE! AHHHHHHHH!" All of the students screamed out in unison, throwing their arms up in the air, and making a mad dash for the door. Alli, Cat, and Emily bid me and Bria a quick goodbye, and they too headed towards Cat's car, since Cat was driving them to my house, but Alli and Emily both had forgotten something they needed, so Cat offered to drive them to their houses before taking them back to my house.

Anticipation was killing me; the band was still picking us up…. Right?

How was that guys? Did you like it? Thanks so much for reading! Cookies for all who review/favourite! DO you guys want Ashley and Caroline to endup together? As soon as I get my next review (or Emily tells me to post or else she'll die) I'll put up Chapter three! I do NOT own Black Veil Brides, Jeff Davis, or any other bands mentioned in this story.
