Ashley's POV

Liz was sprawled out on the floor, totally unconscious. Her ribs looked suspiciously smooshed into the floor. Andy had gone to the bathroom, leaving me and CC to wait for the pizza.

"Um, what do we do?" Asked CC.

"I have absolutely no idea. Pick her up?"

"Yeah but her ribs look broken"

"Very true. Call Andy?"

"Yeah"

This whole time, CC had answered the door, collected the pizza and eaten half of the wedges that came with it.

"Yo, Andy! Liz is becoming part of the floor!" Yelled CC.

Andy came sprinting into the room and gasped at the sight of Liz on the floor.

"You useless fucks, call an ambulance!"

"Oh yeah, I didn't think of that" I said, pulling out my phone. Soon, the paramedics had come and I leaped into the back of the ambulance with Liz. She was pale and tired looking, her eyeliner smudged and war paint now just a
Grey smear.

Liz's POV

I woke up to a blinding light and an extremely annoying beeping noise.

"Fucking shit, someone turn the damn lights off and let me sleep!" I groaned.

I tried to sit up to feel my breathing stop and a shooting pain running across my ribs. I looked over to whoever was sitting on the chair beside me. Ashley looked worried but also slightly amused.

"What happened?"

"Well, you tripped. You already cracked a couple of ribs and they just snapped. You have five broken ribs. Well done, you should be proud"

"Why the fuck am I in hospital? I can deal with a few broken ribs, I had to bind my own broken arm once"

"Andy insisted we call an ambulance. You're on a serious amount of morphine right now. I'll go get the others. You were out for a couple of hours by the way"

"Thanks"

Soon, Ashley returned with Andy and CC.

"How are you?" Andy asked.

"I'm totally fine, I really don't know why I need to be here"

"That's the spirit. Now, can someone turn THAT DAMNED BEEPING THING OFF?!" Yelled CC.

"Ash, can I sign the papers that say im fucking fine and get the hell out of here?"

"Finally, I thought you'd never ask. The nurse is coming now"

The nurse came, we signed some stuff then we left, returning to the Black Veil Brides household.

"Well, this is a very eventful first day of being adopted-Oh look, pizza! Let's microwave it" I said, running into the kitchen and shoving the pizza into the microwave.

We all ate while re-watching X-men: First Class. (A/N fucking awesome movie btw, days of future past is pretty epic too. So excited for apocalypse to come out omg :D)

I went to bed at around ten PM, after dosing up on ibuprofen.

The next morning, I was awoken by two people jumping on my bed and squealing. I pulled my duvet over my head and continued to try to sleep but the two people tore the duvet away from my body, exposing me to the harsh talons of the cold morning air.

I sat up and opened my eyes, seeing CC and Jinxx holding clothes out at me.

"Oh, hi Jinxx! How was America?"

"Lizzy! It was alright, how are your ribs?"

"In need of pain killers. Anyway, why have you got me up at-" I looked at my bedside clock "-seven am?"

"We're going to teach you how to play the drums, then the violin. First though, we need to assess your guitar and singing skills" CC said.

"Alright, give me half an hour to get ready and have my daily caffeine fix, I'll meet you in the music room"

"See you then!" Squealed CC, skipping out of my bedroom, Jinxx in tow, leaving the clothes at the foot of my bed. They had picked out the same outfit as yesterday but with different shirt art. I got dressed, slapped on my eyeliner, matching Gerard way, then applied my war paint. I did two stripes of black on my left cheekbone. Then I ran into my kitchen, made three espressos and drank them like shots. I grabbed my guitar and took the elevator downstairs.

I sprinted into the music room at seven twenty nine.

"You're nearly late" Andy growled jokingly from the corner.

"But I'm not. Anyway, what do you want me to do?"

"Plug your guitar into the amp, then play the lead guitar for 'In The End'. If you can remember the lyrics, sing it too" Ash said.

I did as they said and when the song was finished, I looked expectantly at the five.

"That was good. You have a really masculine singing voice, you'd make a good backup singer with me. Your guitar skills are good too, I like the solo you added halfway through" Ash commented

"Thanks!" I said, beaming with pride. "So, am I an official member of the band, or do I need more practice?"

"I think you're in. I'll train you in the drums, Jinxx has the violin covered. Ash, will you teach her the bass?" CC replied.

"If I get the time" Ashley replied.

I nodded at them, internally screaming with excitement.

"So, everyone, please leave. I have drum lessons to teach" CC said sassily.

Everyone filed out, leaving CC and me alone. He taught me how to play In The End and Walk Away.

"Right. You're really good at this! You just need to listen to your instincts more, it will make the music sound more natural" CC said.

"Alright! Thanks for teaching me, by the way. Let's go and make some coffee" I said, standing up.

I walked through into the kitchen to see Andy, Ash, Jake and CC sat at one side of the table/island, looking at a computer.

"Hey, guys, come and look at this!" Andy shouted, beckoning for us to look at the laptop. In the screen was an email. It read:

'Dear Black Veil Brides. We would like to invite you to the New York alternative festival. The festival starts on the eighth of July and runs through to the fifteenth of July. I have enclosed a possible schedule for you to play, should you decide to come. Please reply via this email address.
Sincerely, the New York alternative festival organiser, Alice shrimp.'

"Well? Are we going to do it?" I asked.

"Of Course! This is going to be awesome. Who else is Playing?" Ashley replied.

"No idea yet, anyway, let's do it. The schedule says that were doing eleven shows. In that case, we need eleven sets. Liz, we need to train you" Andy said.

I nodded and walked over to the kettle, turning it on and making tea for everyone.

"Right, can we please have 'Lost It All' in one of the sets? It's my favourite song" I said, handing everyone a mug of tea.

"Of course. Also, "In The End" is a must" Ash said.

"Yep. Right, I'll reply to the email then I'll write this down"

We had worked out seven sets and it was midnight. Jake fell asleep and smashed his face into the table, making CC carry him upstairs, leaving me, Ash, Andy and Jinxx.

"Damn, I really ship it" I whispered.

"I know that feeling, they're so cute" replied Ash. Andy nodded and Jinxx looked mildly baffled.

"Right! I'm off to bed. Night" I said, walking to my room and collapsing onto the bed, falling asleep instantly.

I was awoken at three am by the sound of Andy screaming Ashley's name and Ashley moaning loudly. I sighed and plugged my earphones in, listening to music and shutting out the sounds of noisy sex below me.

The next morning, I woke up and got dressed. Then, i walked downstairs to see Ashley and Andy, sitting awkwardly across from each other.

"Good night?" I asked them, making Andy blush and Ash look at his combat boots.

"Um, yes, thanks" Ash said.

"What's wrong, ashes? Did something happen?" I faked, feigning worry. He turned tomato coloured and coughed.

"No, I-I'm fine. Anyway, I'm going to teach you bass today!" He said, leaping up and running towards the music room.

After slipping many innuendos into conversation throughout the morning, I decided to confront Andy and Ash over lunch.

"Um, I really hate to ask but could you please keep the noisy sex to a minimum at three am?" Andy choked on air and Ash looked like he'd quite like to die. CC, Jake and Jinxx turned beetroot red and found the walls and floor very interesting.

"Did you guys know?" Asked Andy incredulously.

"No-i-I mean yes, it was obvious. Sorry mate" they all said, stuttering and making a mess with words.

"BAGSIE MAID OF HONOUR!" I squealed, running out of the room laughing, followed by a giggling CC.
