Ashley Purdy's POV
The guys and I were outside, our tour bus had stopped off in New Orleans for a day, something about the Tour Manager visiting his family. Doesn't matter, I just wanted to get out of here. This place is fucking creepy. We were outside some bar, after the concert we'd had a few hours earlier. I didn't know the name. We were heading to find the bus, and I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw the scene before us. There were four men, and a girl. One of the men had the girl on the ground, and she wasn't moving, as he was trying to tear her clothes away. I didn't think, and just ran forward. I heard Jinxx yelling after me and feet pounding the pavement. I didn't look back to see who was following. All I was focused on was the unconscious woman ahead. I finally caught up to the group, and my fist made compact with the mans face. There was a cracking sound, and I'd imagine it was his jaw. The other men were growling with protest, complaining about the fun being ruined. From the way there words slurred together, I'd say the sick bastards were drunk off there asses. I noticed the guy I had knocked down had already struggled to his feet. Jinxx and CC were right behind, and went to go fight off the others. (A/N I fail at writing fights so this kinda sucks. Sorry…) As the guy started forward, his feet stumbling over themselves. I raised my fist, ready to give another hit. He backed up, his hands up in defeat. I was ready to grab him when I heard sirens in the distance. One of the others must have called the police. Turning my head, I looked to see who made the call. As I was distracted, the guy jumped up, and ran up the alley. I followed him best I could, but his knowledge of the back streets of New Orleans is much greater than mine. I'd lost him. Shit. Quickly hurrying back to the others, CC glanced up at me.
'I lost him…" He nodded, and went back to dealing with one of the drunken guys. Jake was kneeling on the ground, checking to see if the girl was alright. I kneeled down next to him.
"Is she alright?" I asked him, and he looked up at me.
"Uhh… She's alive? I wouldn't say… alright." I sighed and waited for the ambulance to arrive.
She was going to be okay. Thank god… I looked at the girl, who was now curled up, asleep on the couch in our tour bus. We've only been on this tour for a week, out first two shows being in Florida, then one in Louisiana. So, here we are in New Orleans, and we probably just saved a girls life. From what the police told me, her name is Skylar and she's twenty two. The three men last night were arrested, but I only had glanced at the last mans face before he ran. They weren't able to find him yet. Skylar, from what the paramedics told me, she was okay. They said she just needs rest, so that's why she's laying here on our couch, fast asleep.
I must have nodded off because suddenly I felt a hand gently shaking me. My eyes opened to see CC standing there. I glanced up at the small clock on the counter, the crimson numbers flashing, reading 7:03.
"What the hell are you doing up?" I mumbled to the drummer, who was now making coffee.
"I dunno, I just am."
"And you felt the need to wake me up… because?" I growled at him.
"'Caaaaaaause," He whined, "I didn't want to sit here all alone." He was such a child sometimes. I turned my attention to the girl, with a sigh. Her hair fell into perfect curls, draped like black curtains over her beautiful face.
"She's breathtaking…" CC said, as if reading my mind.
"I know." I sighed, not able to take my eyes off of her.
'Any idea what's gonna happen when she wakes up?"
"Well, first, make sure she's going to be okay. Then, we can try and figure out where she lives and take her home." He nodded his agreement.
"Alright… and Ashley?" I looked at him. "Don't try to sleep with her, 'kay?"
"I wasn't going to! Not with what happened, at least. Besides she'll only be with us for an hour or so."
"Just try not to be a pervert."
"It's not that I'm incapable of not being perverted, I just choose to be." I grinned. "Now, all we have to do is wait for the others to wake up." As if on cue Andy, Jake and Jinxx clambered out from the bunks. Jinxx's makeup from last night's show was smeared, and CC let out a laugh.
"Jinxx maybe you should get cleaned up or something. Before our guest wakes up and has a heart attack." Andy giggled and pushing Jinxx to the bathroom. Jinxx let out a groan as he caught his reflection. We all started laughing when suddenly there was a loud shriek from the couch. We all whipped our heads around to see the most starling, gorgeous silver eyes.
Skylars POV-
I opened my eyes to a bright light… How cliché. My head hurt like a bitch, and I figured I was just at home. My eyes got used to the light and I was able to get a look at my surroundings. I didn't recognize the place, then I realized I wasn't alone. I let out an alarming yell at the sight of the five leather clad strangers. They turned quickly and stared at me.
"You're awake!" One of them exclaimed. "Before you ask my names Ashley."
"W-what... happened?" Suddenly, the events of last night came rushing back to me. Fear shot through my body, and I quickly curled up, ready to protect myself if somehow David was hiding and was ready to attack me again.
"What do you remember?" The man that spoke, Ashley, asked tenderly, and sat next to me. Tears were threatening to leak out.
"I …. I got… attacked?" He nodded.
"Yeah… you did."
"Did you… help me?"
"Yeah, we did. One of the men got away, but all the others were arrested."
"W-which… uh... which man escaped?"
"The man who was on top of you... did you know him?" My heart dropped. David was still out there.
"No… no I don't…" I lied, there was no way I'd actually tell them I was living with my attacker.
"Oh, okay. Well he ran away before anyone could identify him. I'm sorry." There was a moment of awkward silence. "Um… who are you people?"
"Oh! Hi!" One said, he had the most beautiful blue eyes. He jumped up, holding his hand out. "I'm Andy, which you may have already known."
"Why on Earth would I know that?" Andy let out a loud gasp.
"Oh, calm down Andy, she just hasn't heard of us." Another said. "I'm CC." He flashed me a smile.
"Heard of you?"
"Yeah," Ashley said, "we're a band named Black Veil Brides. We're on tour, hence the bus, that why we're here. I play bass, Andy is our frontman. CC here is the drummer, and Jake," he pointed to one of the last two men, "plays lead guitar. Jinxx is our guitarist, and violin player when needed."
"Oh, it's nice to meet you all. But, sorry. Yeah, I've never heard of you."
"It's cool." Said the one named Jake. "Ignore Andy, he's just a little pigheaded." We both looked over at Andy, who was now scowling, and staring out the window.
"I can tell…" I laughed, causing Andy to scowl even more. "Um… guys?" They turned to look at me. "Can I go home now?"
"…Do you want to go, already?" Ashley asked, seeming a little disappointed.
"Yes, please… I've already been away for a while. David… Uh he might be upset…"
"Okay, well you can give your address to the driver, and he'll get you there as fast as he can." He said, and I made my way to the front. I told the man upfront the address to David and I's apartment and he told me we'd be there in about ten minutes. I went back to relay the information to the guys. "So… who's David?" Ashley asked, curiously. Crap. I was hoping this wouldn't have come up.
"He's my boyfriend, he let me stay with him when I left my mother's home."
"Why'd you leave?" Andy asked.
"Because, after my dad died when I was 12 from cancer, I got a job. But with my paycheck at the docks, and her little school teacher salary, we didn't bring in that much money. I moved out so I wouldn't be a burden to her, and David can easily pay rent so I was able to start saving up to go to The University of Louisiana. Right now I go to Delgado Comm."
"What are you studying?"
"Photography… I love it more than anything in the world. Um, guys?" They all looked at me. "Can I hear one of your songs?"
"Sure!" Andy giggled and pulled out his iPod, plugging it into an iPod dock. "This is called Perfect Weapon." He pressed the little play button, and music blasted from the speakers. I smiled, liking the music. They were really good, and I was instantly hooked.
The song ended, and I saw the building my apartment was in. 'Oh, hey guys. This is my stop…" After four longs hugs with the others, I turned to Ashley. He was frowning slightly.
"I wanna walk you to your room."
"What? Why?"
"I want to make sure you're alright. C'mon, let's go." He took my hand, pulling me along. "Which one is it?"
"This one here." I pulled out my key from my pocket, I was surprised I still had it. I pushed the key into the lock, unlocking the heavy set door to the building with a click. "It's on the second floor, so come on." We walked up the cold concrete stairs to the floor above. When the 2D door sign came into the view, I stopped to face Ashley. "This is where I leave you… Bye!" I started to open the door, when he stops me.
"Aw, but I wanted to meet your boyfriend."
"I don't thi-"
"Please?" I sighed, and quietly opened the door, hoping David was asleep.
"Fine…" We walked inside the apartment. "David?" I called out quietly. There was a moment of silence, and I thought I was finally off the hook. I was about to let out a sigh of relief when I heard footsteps coming into the living room.
"Skylar? Skylar, you there?" David asked me worriedly. "What happened?"
"Nothing David… I'll tell you later." I could tell from his eyes he was fuming. "Um, this is my friend Ashley, he helped me last night…"
"Hey, David, I just wanted to make sure she got back safely. But… Do I know you? You look familiar."
"No, I don't think so. Thank you for helping her." David said quickly, ushering Ashley out the door.
"Hey, wait." Ashley said, turning to me. "Hopefully I'll see you again. Take care Skylar." I nodded and watched him leave. David slammed the door shut behind him, and turned to glare at me. I gulped and started to back away.
