Ray's POV

The first venue.

I was sat side stage with Juliet.

Since we'd become friends we told each other pretty much EVERYTHING.

"What if i am pregnant again? I can't risk Danny finding out. He'd do the exact same thing he did to... To..." I broke down crying and Juliet layed my head down in her lap and started stroking my hair.

"Shhh, it's ok sweety, everythings going to be fine. Who cares if Danny finds out? We'll just have to be more careful when in public." She told me with her honey-smooth voice.

I looked up from her lap, into her eyes.

"We weren't in public the first time. Andy and i were home, in bed. Asleep. And he broke in and stole her from us." I paused for a moment and thought. "Juliet?"

She gave me a small smile. "Yeah babe?"

"When you and Andy have kids- if you and Andy have kids. Promise me something." I told her.

She nodded, beckoning for me to continue.

"Never let your child out of your sight. Especially when around me. Danny could be lurking anywhere, planning the perfect oportunity to ruin my life and my family's." I smiled a little because, lets be honest... These guys were like family.

No...

They were family.

My better family.

The only family i cared about.

"I promise honey." She smiled and kissed my cheek.

I hugged her tightly and stroked her back with my thumbs.  

At that moment, Syn walked up to us and smiled. Then he must have noticed something was up because he immedately lost it.

"What's the matter babe?" He asked, tearing me away from Juliet and into his warm embrace.

I wrapped my arms round his waist tightly and cried into it.

Still, i refused to tell him that what Dahvie said could be true - that i could be pregnant with his child.

"Please tell me what's the matter Ray, i could help." He pleaded, holding me at arms length by my shoulders.

I sighed.

"I'll tell you when i'm sure." Was all i said.

I started to get hot and really light-headed, causing me to sway in Brian's arms.

"Babe? Are you ok? Baby?" He asked, genuine concern dripping from his perfectly sculpted lips.

I felt my eyes begin to flutter, i tried to keep them open but soon the darkness consumed me.

Syn's POV

I caught her unconcious body before she fell to the ground.

"Shit!" Juliet gasped and got up from where she was sitting to come help me with her.

"I've got her!" I snapped, pushing her hands away from me.

I really didn't like Juliet, ever since what happened with Andy 2 years ago.

I didn't give a shit whether her and Ray were friends now, she still destroyed my girlfriend's heart.

I gently picked Ray up and took her to my band's dressing room, laying her on the couch.

I sat on the arm of the couch and looked at her, then started to chew on my thumb nail with worry.

I heard someone open the door but i didn't bother to look up.

"Is she ok?" I heard Juliet's voice.

"How should i know." I spat.

She sighed.

"Look, i know that we haven't exactly seen eye to eye since we met, but i'm just as worried about her as you are."

I looked up at her with a lethal glare.

"Yeah right. Juliet, i've never heard such shit in my life. I'll bet you're just playing her friendship for your own benifit somehow." I replied.

Juliet sighed once again.

"Syn, i'm not doing anything, i would never hurt Ray, or Andy, or his guys, or your's. I've changed since two years ago, i swear." She pleaded.

 I thought about it for a second.

"You have one chance. That's all you're getting. One fuck up and you'll be sorry." I growled and looked back at Ray's sleeping body.

Andy's POV

We finished the set and i noticed Ray and Juliet weren't side stage anymore.

I went over to Jayy and asked him where they were.

"I haven't seen Ray, but i saw Juliet, she was running toward Avenged's dressing room." He replied.

Before he had finished saying 'dressing room' i was on my way in that direction.

"Juliet?" I shouted before i got round the doorway.

"Yeah babe." I heard her.

I opened the door and felt two arms immedately wrap themselves round my neck.

I held Juliet's waist and held her close. That was when i saw the body of my ex-fiancé lying on the black leather couch opposite the door.

"What the fuck happened?!" I asked no one in particular, letting go of Juliet and jogging over to where Ray laid.

"I don't know, she just fainted." Syn explained. Then he looked at Juliet. "Do you know what she wouldn't tell me?"

Syn and i both looked at Juliet and she caught a breath in her throat.

"That would be a yes." I smirked. "Now what's going on?"

"Tell me Juliet. What wouldn't she tell me?" Syn growled.

That got me steamed.

"I can't say. It's between her and me." She repied, holding her head up high.

"Juliet!" Syn shouted, getting up and storming over to her.

He grabbed hold of her shoulders and shook her a little.

"TELL ME WHAT SHE SAID!" He yelled.

I got up and ran over to them, throwing Syn away from my girl.

"Don't. Fucking. Touch her." I growled, standing my ground yet still holding onto Juliet's arm.

Just then, we heard a groan from the couch and everyone stopped in their tracks.

"Ray?" Syn asked, turning around and kneeling on the floor in front of her.

"Stop fighting." She whispered. "It's fucking annoying."

I gave a quite chuckle and so did Syn.

"I know babe, just a misunderstanding. I just need to know what you're keeping from me." Syn replied.

"You'll know when i'm ready to tell you." Ray had a little voice back, but it was still half a whisper.

All Syn did was nod before he got up, kissed Ray's forehead, and left to join his band sidestage.

"I'm gunna go get some food, i'm starved!" Juliet chuckled and kissed me before jogging out of the room.

Fuck.

Just me and Ray left.

So i may as well point out that i still have feelings for Ray.

I do. And i'm not afraid to say it!

Unless i'm talking to her or anyone else.

Ok, i've told my mom.

That's it.

I snapped out of my daze to find Ray staring at the door.

Or my arm...

Probably the door though...

Maybe...

ANYWAY!

"Ray can i tell you something..." I said before i'd even thought about it.

"Sure." She smiled.

"Uh... Um... Nevermind... I forgot." I saved.

She looked at me, confused, recognizing the face that told her i was lying.

"Andy, what is it?" She asked in her honey-smooth voice.

Fuck it.

If i don't do it now, i never fucking will.

I moved over to her, never ceasing eye contact.

I sat down on the floor next to where she was lying on the couch.

"I-I uh... Fuck it... Ray i still have feelings for you." I blurted out.

She looked at me, totally horrified.

Fuck. My. Life.

"W-what?" She choked.

Before i'd even processed the thought of a thought in my mind, I'd crashed my lips to hers in a heated kiss.

She didn't kiss back at first and i was thinking about pulling away and leaving her for the rest of our lives to avoid any further embarrassment.

But then i felt a hand on the back of my head, and fingers lacing themselves in my hair.

I realized they were hers in an instant and that she was also kissing me back.

That familiar feeling i had whenever we used to do this a couple years back was exillarating and made me feel more alive that i'd felt the whole time i was with Juliet.

Now i think about it, i never felt like this when i was with Juliet. This was way better.

And i wanted it back.

Forever.

The kiss didn't last for nearly as long as i would have hoped before Ray pulled away.

I rested my forehead on hers as we caught our breath.

"I love you." She whispered.

Wait, what?

I pulled away so i could look at her properly.

"You love me?" I asked.

She blushed a little and nodded.

"Nothing's changed..."
