BRIAN

"Fuck!" I shouted loudly as I slammed my fists hard against the side of the bunks.

How could I do that to her? How was I supposed to make this right? The only answer I could come up with was the bottle of Jack under my bunk. I reached under and grabbed it by the neck and pulled it out. I unscrewed the cap and tossed it on the ground and started gulping the whiskey down.

The burning in my throat numbed the burning in my heart. After chugging about a quarter of the bottle, I heard a voice from the living room that made my blood boil.

"That's right we are. In fact, I think I'm going to check on him." I heard Aubrey say.

She opened the door and walked into the bunk area, closing the door behind her.

"Why so blue honey?" She said with a smile on her face. I groaned and took another sip of the whiskey.

"Get the hell out of here, Aubrey." I told her. She giggled and walked in front of me.

"Oh come on Synyster, it's for the best anyway. Now instead of teasing, you can actually fuck me." She said in a sexy voice.

I was livid. I slammed the bottle on the floor and stood up. Aubrey took a step closer to me, but then when she saw the look in my eyes, she backed up.

"I would never fuck you Aubrey. I love Kate with all of my heart, and I would never cheat on her. Do you understand that?" I told her. Aubrey's expression went from in lust, to pissed.

Her nostrils flared and she clenched her fists.

"You bastard!" She shouted at me.

Aubrey took off one of her heels and threw it at me, then she threw the other one. I kept walking backwards until I tripped over a suitcase and fell to the floor. Aubrey eyed the bottle that was on the floor and she picked it up. She brought it to her lips and took a long pull from it.

"You'll never win her back Synyster. She can't handle this lifestyle. You'll see, then you'll be begging for me." She said. I laughed darkly and went to stand up.

"Not on your life, you're nothing but a groupie slut." I spat at her.

Aubrey narrowed her eyes at me and let out a yell. I watched her swing the bottle at me. Instinctively, I brought my arm up to protect my head. The bottle hit my arm and I heard it shatter. Aubrey turned to leave, but I wasn't finished with her. I was beyond pissed. I jumped up and caught her arm and pushed her into the bathroom door.

"I want you to listen to me you bitch. Don't you ever, ever say another word about Kate or I'll expose you for what you really are. You will never be like Kate. She's special and she didn't have to sleep with everyone to get her position."I told her darkly.

Aubrey just stared at me with her mouth slightly open. My eyes locked with hers and I have her the scariest glare that I could. I watched her swallow hard and look away from me. I back up and she gathered her boots up and walked out of the bunks. I saw Matt and Zacky standing up and ready to fight, Johnny was actually holding them back.

"And don't ever fucking come on this bus again!" I shouted at her from the doorway.

All the guys turned towards me, their eyes were popping out of their heads. Aubrey turned around and shot me a glare and I saw Zacky start to laugh and she snapped her head to look at him.

"Fuck you Zacky." She spat.

That just made Zacky laugh harder. Aubrey pulled her arm back to swing but Matt caught it.

"I don't think so. You heard Brian, get the hell outta here." He said coldly.

She managed to get free and started walking barefoot off of the bus. Then everything started to get fuzzy. I felt everything start to spin and I knew I was going down. Matt came over and helped me to the couch.

"Shit Brian, what happened?" Zacky asked.

I couldn't answer. I looked down at my arm and saw blood just pouring out of it. When did that happen? What did I get cut on? Oh yeah! The bottle! It must have cut me when it broke.

A few seconds later, Zacky rushed over and handed Matt a towel. Matt wrapped it around my arm tightly and I felt everything fade to black.

I must have passed out because when I woke up, I was in the hospital.

"Mr. Haner? Mr. Haner, can you tell me what happened?" A nurse asked me.

"The bottle." I mumbled.

The nurse looked over at Matt, who was sitting beside me. He just shrugged. The nurse sighed and started to stitch me up. When she was finished, I had 11 stitches on my palm and 20 stitches on my forearm. Matt sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Man, what the hell happened? You didn't do this to yourself did you?" He asked me.

I rolled my eyes and shook my head.

"Seriously? Hell no. Aubrey hit me with a bottle of whiskey and it broke." I told him.

Matt let out a deep sigh.

"Good. That was too close man. I couldn't stand to lose you too." He said. I nodded and we did a guy hug.

"Do you want me to call Kate?" Matt asked me. I sighed and nodded.

"But wait a while, it's pretty late." I told him.

Matt nodded and stood up.

"I'm gonna go tell the guys you're gonna live." Matt said. I nodded again and sat back on the bed and closed my eyes. It wasn't long before I felt sleep pull under.
