You Left Me With These Broken Lies (Sequel to TBSIATG; Andy Biersack Story)

Chapter 3

I stood with my back against the wall by the steps of the stage, my phone in my hands. I was text messaging some friends, updating my Twitter, chatting with fans on Facebook, the usual.

I felt someone nudge me so I looked up from my phone's screen to see that it was Dean.

"Yeah?" I said.

"We're up," was all he said.

I nodded, locking my phone and sliding it into my pocket. I ran onto stage and threw my arms up, my hand automatically giving the crowd the metal.

I ran up to the microphone and grabbed it, shouting, "Romania! You ready to fucking rock with me?"

The crowd cheered, screaming the letters of my bands name. I heard them shouting things in Romanian, assuming their were our names or band name. It thrilled me to hear them in another language. We were known around the world. It made me happy to know that.

"The first song we're covering tonight," I said, pausing as I heard a voice coming from the speaks. Ah. My voice was being translated. Smart. It'd probably be turned off once I started singing. Shaking my head, I continued. "We'll be covering Violent Kiss by Eyes Set To Kill for you first."

The crowd cheered excitedly, all smiles. The boys started playing their instruments and I gripped the microphone, pressing my lips together as I waited for the right time to start singing.

When it came to be time, I took a quick breath before singing.

(A/N: When I put something in bold, that indicates that it's a screaming part which is done by Mason and Liam. This goes for the rest of this chapter. If there is anything else in bold, it's being screamed. I'll let you know whenever it's Heather doing the screaming--if she does. As the backing vocalist, Mason always has a part in a song so always assume that he sings a bit too.)

"I can't keep pacing
I need your blood tonight
(You're so far from me)
And I'm so weak inside
Come fly to me, I'll show you what it's like
(When the full moon shines)
We'll stop hearts together

When we're conjoined at the lips
I feel alive, I feel undead
Pumping new life through these veins
Holding onto the finest thread

Take my hand, grip it tightly (don't let go)
I promise pain will pass you silently, silently
Take my hand, grip it tightly (don't let go)
With your neck, I'll kiss you violently, violently
To kiss my lips will leave you cold tonight
(You'll need my blood)
And I'll devote my life
Come fly to me, I'll show you what it's like
(When the full moon shines)
We'll stop hearts together

It's just like me to attach affection to a second chance
So pull me any closer and I can tell you how it ends

Take my hand, grip it tightly (don't let go)
I promise pain will pass you silently, silently
Take my hand, grip it tightly (don't let go)
With your neck, I'll kiss you violently, violently

Pull away from this embrace before it's too late
Pull away from this embrace before...

Take my hand, grip it tightly
I promise pain will pass you silently
Take my hand, grip it tightly
With your neck, I'll kiss you violently, violently

Pull away from this embrace before it's too late."


The fans in the crowd went beyond insane as we finished the song. It was kind of funny. It was a vampire based song and we're in the country where the vampires originated.

The boys from Vampires Everywhere! caught my eye as I gazed over the people in the crowd. I swear, they were screaming louder than all of the fans put together.

"Vampires! Fuck yeah!" Michael yelled. He and the rest of his band continued to cheer as loud as humanly possible.

I rolled my eyes. Those boys cracked me up.

"The next song we're going to be covering tonight is called 'Words Cannot Express' and it's by a band by the name of End Of December. If you haven't checked them out, I suggest that you do. They're pretty amazing!" I said.

Yes, I was doing a bit of promoting for them. They were underrated. I didn't understand why. They were an amazing band and deserved a much bigger fan base.



(A/N: If you listen to the music and read the lyrics on YouTube, they're kind of wrong. I fixed them here.)


"You've pushed and pulled but still
Life goes against your will
And now you promise you cannot take it anymore
But I can't just watch you fade away
And everything you loved, you have torn apart
And I'll admit that I cannot take this anymore
I'm burning by the rhythm your heart makes
And now I'm telling you...

Take everything from me
Because words cannot express
How dead I am without you, without you
WITHOUT YOU

Lets take a step outside
And let you clear your mind
Now you tell me there's nothing that I can replace
If only the glimmer in your eyes...
I never said, it seems
A good fight's never clean
But now I promise I cannot take it anymore
I'm burning by the rhythm your heart makes
And now I'm telling you

Take everything from me
Because words cannot express
How dead I am without you, without you
WITHOUT YOU

Don't shoot, you know you are the brightest star however far
Your prayers and tears haven't gone unnoticed by my ears

Take everything from me
Because words cannot express
How dead I am without you, without you
WITHOUT YOU

Take everything from me
Because words cannot express
How dead I am without you, without you
WITHOUT YOU."

We finished up and walked off stage once we were through. We were all sweaty and tired from tonight's performance. We had given it our all.

Naturally, the boys from Vampires Everywhere cam running to us and engulfed me in hugs. I tried squirming away but it was just no good.

"You morons," I complained. "Get off of me."

Everyone but Jay obliged. He was still hugging my from behind, his head resting on my shoulder and his arms around my waist. He nuzzled his head into my neck and smiled. I heard a camera flash and I growled.

"Jay, get off me. Please?" I pleaded.

"Aw, but why? I was about to have that pretty little neck of yours. I've been dying for a taste," he whispered seductively.

I shivered at the sound of his voice. It send chills down my spine. I felt thrilled by the very sound of it.

"Please?" I said, trying again.

Reluctantly, he removed his arms from my waist and pulled his head back. He instead kissed the top of my head before leaving to join his band mates. Sighing, I walked off to join my own.

"I don't know what to do anymore. There are boys everywhere. A particularly sweet and charming one over there. What am I going to do? I do feel a little something for him that is a tad stronger than the normal friendship standards. But I'm still in love with Andy. I vowed that I'd never love someone else. But how can I keep that promise knowing that he hates me? How can I keep that promise when he's so far away and there's someone else here?" I thought. I sighed. "You're a fucked up person Heather."

I retreated off to my band's bus and went to sit in my room in my bunk. I curled up on it and turned to stare out the window. Pulling my phone from my pocket, I checked my Twitter and updated it.

HeatherTheRebel: Romania! You kicked ass today! Meet-and-greet later! Come see me and my band!

I put my phone away and just closed my eyes for a few moments before departing from the room.

I hopped off the bus and went to say hello to Get Scared. I hadn't spoken to any of them yet. Though, I did have to let them know that I adored their music. I knocked on the door of their bus and smiled as Johnny opened it.

"Oh, hey. Heather, right?" he asked, smiling.

I nodded and turned my head back as Vampires Everywhere got onto the stage.

"Watch them perform with me? I'd like to talk to you and get to know you a bit," I said.

Johnny nodded. "Alright. And I assume you know who I am?"

Grinning, I said, "Of course. Johnny. How can I not know? I'm a huge fan."

He smiled and followed me to the stage. We squeezed past the people and stood behind the barricade. While Vampires Everywhere were playing, Johnny and I got to know each other and became pretty good friends. He was a sweet guy.

While we spoke, Jay was all smiles behind the keyboard, grinning at me from time to time, smiling at his fans, and glaring at Johnny. I rolled my eyes. He was cute when he was jealous.

When they finished, Jay immediately took his keyboard away and returned as soon as he could to drag me away. I said goodbye to Johnny and rolled my eyes at Jay. I sure did that a lot now.

"Heather, I don't want you hanging out with Johnny too often, alright?" Jay fretted.

I raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

"If he gets to you, he's just going to brag and you're going to get hurt," he said.

I smiled softly and hugged him. "Jay, don't worry. He and I just got acquainted. I have no interest in him anyways. I don't really have anyone in mind. Well, I do. But he and I have no chance."

Jay, obviously taking it the wrong way, said, "You don't know that."

I nodded, not realizing what he was talking about. I assumed that he and I were talking about the same person. He did as well.

"Yes I do," I responded.

Without warning, Jay pulled me in for a kiss, pulling away a few seconds after, leaving me slightly astonished and breathless because of the shock.

I turned my head away and began to flee. Jay caught my wrist, refusing to let me go.

"Heather? Why are you trying to run?" he asked.

"I can't Jay. I just can't. I think you took it the wrong way. I was talking about someone else. I'm sorry if I mislead you in anyway. I never meant to do that. I never meant to make you fall for me. I never meant to hurt you," I whispered, tearing up.

"Heather, I like you. Already. It hasn't been long, but I like you," Jay replied.

I shook my head. "I'm confused about how I feel about you. I'm still in love with someone. I feel like I'm betraying him. He's with someone else now but I still love him. I don't know how to feel about anyone right now. I just need some time alone."

Jay nodded in understanding, a solemn look upon his face. He released my wrist and I ran back to my bus, taking comfort in my bunk again.

I heard my name being called a few minutes later. Turning my body, I saw Mitchie.

"Yeah Mitchie?" I asked.

"Meet-and-greet. Come on," she said.

I nodded, sliding out of the bunk. I followed her out and put on a huge smile for the fans. I had to mask my true feelings for their sake. I didn't want anyone worrying about me. I chatted with them, signed things, and just made their days in general. Even when I was going through a lot, fans made me smile.

There was a translator with us so he could translate what we said to each other. I was grateful for him.

An hour later, the meet-and-greet was over. We cleaned everything up and went back on the road. I fell asleep in my bunk, restless as I tried to think everything through.

"Oh Andy," I thought. "Why does it have to be Scout? Anyone but her. I would have been somewhat okay with it. Surely, I'd still be hurt knowing that you've moved on so quickly. But why Scout?"
