One Week Later...

Jaime’s POV

Tony started pacing as they waited for Vic to arrive.

“Dude, Tony.” Tony looked at me. “Vic will be here soon.”
“Yeah man, Don’t worry.” Mike gave Tony a disapproving look.

“I’m sorry guys. I’m just so nervous right now.” Tony turned at the sound of the door opening. “Vic!”

“Hey Tone. Guys.” He waved. “So let’s hear what you’ve got.” Tony grabbed his guitar and sat down.

“It’s slightly revised.” Tony squeaked nervously. Instead of it starting with guitar it started with him singing.



♪So what if I was just a painter
painting houses on the rich blue coast? ♪


The guitar joined in.

♪ Would you ever try to leave me
for somebody who deserves you most?
'Cause darling I am just a painter.
I'm painting houses for the rich old folks.
I'm gonna make a million dollars,
'cause nobody's gonna steal you, no,
For diamonds and gold.
For diamonds and gold.
'Cause I've broken bones for you, and for you only.I make money but we just can't keep this home.
Give me your heart and your hand and we can run!
We can run, we can run baby, run now.
We can run baby, run.
She's like a bullet through an ocean,
I still remember how you moved so slow.
You tried to kill me with a shotgun. ♪
The song faded. I looked at Vic waiting for him to speak.

“Tony, it’s great.” Vic spoke softly. “Julia’s gonna love it.”

“I agree,” I chimed in.

We all turned to the sound of the door opening.

“Julia!” We all said in unison as the door opened.
“Um…hi?” She waved. “You guys have been acting strange lately…” She squinted at me.
“Nothing going on here.” I replied. “It’s just with the songs needing to be finished we’re just stressed.”
“Well I noticed all the bikes are here…why don’t we go for a ride?” She held up her helmet. “Nothing relieves stress better than a nice ride on the California coast.”
I looked at Tony. “You guys down? I know I am.”
“Sure.” Vic nodded his head and so did Mike.
“Let’s go.” Tony nodded at Jamie.

Julia’s POV

The bus pulled to a stop next to the Black Veil Brides bus. Jaime came to the front couch where I was sitting.

“You might wanna close that laptop and get pumped!” Jaime started jumping up and down.
“Yeah, yeah.” I closed the laptop.
“You got a name for it yet?”
“Nothing yet.”
“I remember Tony saying something about Holding On Till May when he was in the hospital. You remember that?” Jaime stopped jumping and looked at me.
“Yeah. I do remember that.” I replied quietly.
“So how about… Hold On Till May: The Tribute to Tony Perry.”
“I actually like that! Thanks Jaime!” I pecked him on the check as I threw the laptop on to the couch and ran towards the back of the bus.
