Love Amongst Destruction

Don't Let Go, Not Yet

“Oh shit, am I late?” I gasped, catching my breath at the door.

“The first band is about halfway through their first song, you’re in the clear.” The security guard chuckled, probably finding my panic a tiny bit humorous.

I slipped in the door, and was instantly greeted with a setting that I felt at home in, a concert.

I was so far in the back, I honestly couldn’t see Tyler or anyone else who was on the stage.

Maybe that wasn’t a bad thing though, I could get myself adjusted to the atmosphere before I had a fucking panic attack.

I didn’t fear Tyler like I feared TJ or Danny…..I feared him in the sense that I knew he could make me feel calm, relaxed, and honestly at times….loved. Right now, at a time where Chance is appearing to just fully ignore me, I knew it would be hard to resist Tyler.

‘Stay strong Bella.’ I told myself over and over, and I finally tried to focus in on the music.

“This next song is called Make it Hurt!” Tyler screamed into the mic, and to no surprise the girls fangirled and screamed their pretty little heads off.

“Mistaking Vultures for Angels, down here the silhouettes all look the same…..” He sang.

Holy shit, I had never heard Tyler sing before. He was absolutely amazing, both clean and unclean vocals.

“Hey, relax!” Some big, bulky guy in front of me screamed.

“Excuse me?” I asked, not being able to stand people thinking I was uptight.

“You look nervous, concerts are all about letting loose, having fun, and not giving a fuck about what anyone thinks about you. So don’t stand there looking scared, come headbang with me.” He chuckled, obviously very passionate.

I smiled back at him, as he scooted over and allowed me to sneak in next to him.

“You guys are fucking wild.” Tyler chuckled into the mic, as their second song came to a close.

“We have three more songs for you, and we want you to fucking go wild, enjoy!” A new voice screamed from on stage.

I rocked along to one more song, quickly thanked the guy next to me for being such a sweetheart, and made my way back the entrance hall.

There was a large black bench situated near the bar, I figured that was the best place to wait for him.

“Stay strong Bella, stay strong.” I muttered to myself, as two more songs ticked by.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tyler’s POV -

“Fucking solid show, guys!” I cheered, getting off of stage and setting down my bass in the rack.

“You seemed extra focused on the crowd tonight.” Logan chuckled.

“Yeah, the girl that’s got him wrapped around her little finger.” Brody joked with him.

“You guys are seriously 2 fucking years old.” I groaned, brushing past them, headed in the direction of the entrance.

‘Stay strong Tyler, stay strong.’ I muttered to myself, knowing how Bella got to me.

I made my way through the foyer, turned a corner, and that’s when I saw her.

Quietly sitting on a bench, her hair in a long french braid just as I always did for her, she wore a gorgeous yet spunky little black dress with high heels on.

She had her ankles tightly crossed and was looking around the room, slightly nervous, yet bold in her own way.

“Are you going to come say hi, or just keep stalking me?” She suddenly chuckled, turning her body to face me.

“Hey, cutie.” I cooed, making my way over to her.

Bella stood up and accepted my kind yet caring side hug.

“Fuck, I wear 5 inch heels and I’m still shorter than you.” She giggled, as I looked down at her face.

Fuck me she was cute.

I was still a little confused as to why she came though. I knew she’d eventually give it away, I just had to get her comfortable

“That’s just one of a million of your cute quirks.” I told her, smiling.

She rolled her eyes and pulled away from me.

“Follow me, I’ll show you to the back.” I continued, walking her to the back of the venue, a tiny bit nervous about her meeting Logan and Brody.

The rest of the way was silent, all except the rhythmic clicking of Bella’s heels.

Just as we were about to enter the back lounge she stopped me by gently placing a hand on my abs.

“Thank you. thank you for everything you've done for me. I appreciated the medicine as well as letting me come tonight. It's been a really tough few weeks. She admitted, gentle tears running down her soft and rosy cheeks.

“Oh dear.” I whispered, this time pulling her fully into my arms.

We stood there for a couple minutes, until suddenly one of the doors slammed open.

Fucking hell, they had horrible timing.

“Just follow my lead.” I whispered in her ear, gently tugging her back behind me.

“What the fuck’s taking so long?” Logan groaned, rolling his eyes.

“We were talking asshole.” I growled back.

I felt Bella slowly try and get further behind me, but I had a tight grip on her wrist, I knew what she could handle.

“Are you going to introduce us, or are you just going to hide her like everyone told us you would?” Brody chuckled.

“Real funny,” I pulled Bella’s arm so that she was now standing a few centimeters in front of me, even though I could feel her protest.

“Logan, Brody, this is Bella. Bella, this Logan and Brody.” I introduced her.

“Hi.” She squeaked out.

“So cute and shy.” Brody cooed, looking at Bella the way a lion stalked his prey before the kill.

“Tyler.” She quietly chirped, pulling my arm back as she went to run.

“Easy there.” I grunted, using my strength to pull her back into my chest.

“Don’t worry- lover boy would kill us if we tried anything, yet that is. It’s when we’re alone that you should worry.” Logan warned her.

I gently released her hand, she would have to make the decision if she wanted to stay longer or leave.

“Trust us?” Brody grinned.

“I trust Tyler, not you.” She snapped.

“Come on.” I said, pushing past Logan and Brody, making an opening for me to take her into the back lounge.

The click of her heels told me she was still behind me, and that made me feel a bit better.

Our little procession of misfits walked past Palaye Royale’s dressing room, and before we knew it we were in the lounge.

I let Logan and Brody slip into the curved booth, and directed Bella to sit next to Logan, I knew she’d be a lot more comfy and safe near Logan than Brody.

“Question, were you really going to run in those heels?” Logan asked me, a smile on his lips.

She smirked her infamous Bella smirk.

“One of the first things you should learn…..never underestimate what I’ll do to keep myself safe.” She said, no humor in her voice.

“We’ve heard some stories.” Logan stated, looking back at Brody for confirmation.

“What did you tell them?” She playfully growled at me.

“In a short and sweet version; you’re sweet and beautiful as all hell, but you’re naughty as fuck.” I replied.

She chuckled, threw her head back, then got up.

Where did she think she was going?

She stopped at the freezer filled with alcohol, and I rolled my eyes.

“Want some?” She asked me, picking up a bottle of champagne.

“Did you come here to drink with your favorite buddy?” I chuckled, knowing it would get to her just the right amount.

“No, for your information I came to reassure myself that someone other than my mother cares about me, and could give a shit about my existence.” She growled.

“Woah woah woah...and Chance fits into this where?” I hissed, not happy at all of the even mere though of Bella being treated poorly.

“I’m not even fucking sure anymore. He’s always gone, leaving the house without me, getting mad that I’m not perfect in the sense of my happiness/mental health, or just ignoring me. Take your pick.” She angrily told me.

“How long has this been going on?” I further interrogated her.

“A day or two after you and Chris left. We came here, and that’s when I heard about the concert tonight. I freaked out a bit when I saw the picture of you and your band, and I kind of zoned out, he was so angry then after I snapped out of it. I kept apologizing, but every time I did he just got more pissed off. Chance was angry…..then he was just distant. We consummated our marriage a couple days after that, and he left after he finished because there was a good deal on car engines. Then today starting at 7am I spent all day making a 5 course elegant French dinner- he blew me off to go and work out.” Bella snarled.

“Damn.” Brody whistled.

“I’m going to kill him.” I told myself quietly.

“Don’t get upset over it, at least while I’m here.” Bella said to me.

“I won’t.” I grumbled.

“Promise?” She asked, her beautiful smile forming.

“I guess so….” I chuckled.

“Uh uh uh, that’s not good enough.” She giggled back.

“You like testing my boundaries don’t you?” I asked, already knowing the answer.

“Just a tad bit.” She whispered, leaning closer into me.

“So, what do you want to do?” I wondered, gently booping her nose with my index finger.

“Now what is it going to take for you and I to get that close?” Logan questioned her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder.

“Start with getting your damn hand off me.” She hissed, glaring at him with those baby blue eyes.

“Convince me.” He challenged her.

She stood up and I followed her with my eyes cautiously as she slipped out of the booth and came over and stood next to me.

Bella leaned over, rested her arm on my shoulder, and let out a tiny laugh under her breath.

Oh boy, this was going to be interesting.

She gently reached down, grabbed the hem of her dress, and hoisted the left side of it up to the top of her thigh, so that only Logan could see it.

“Told you.” She gloated, and as quick as she got the dress up she dropped it back down.

“Holy shit.” Logan exclaimed, not being able to say anything else.

“Do I want to know?” I asked.

I stretched my hand out, placing it on her upper thigh and instantly felt the outline of a little blade.

“Bella….” I scolded her.

“Tyler….” She playfully growled back at me.

“You’ve hit your quota of stabbing people for the month.” I told her, in reference to what she did to Chris when he was at her mom’s house.

She gasped.

“I didn’t realize the knife actually hit Chris.” She panicked.

“Oh it didn’t…..I just like scaring you.” I chuckled, wrapping my arms tight around her waist and pulling her onto my lap.

“Tyler!” She squealed.

“What?” I asked, as I slowly watched a deep red blush spread across her cheeks.

“Nothing.” She sighed, giving up and laying back into my chest.

“Let’s go somewhere a tiny bit more private.” I whispered in her ear.

Bella gave me a slight nod, and I was thankful for that.

It never stopped surprising me as to how much she trusted me, and I loved the fact that she did.

“Aww, where are you two going?” Brody whined.

“Away from you two.” I answered.

“I’ll see you soon, my cute little love.” Logan cooed, blowing a kiss in Bella’s direction.

“Don’t get cocky.” Bella grinned back.

I pushed her to get her started in the direction of a backstage lounge a bit further back, closer to the stage.

“I’m sorry about Chance.” I finally said, stopping her midway in the dim lit hallway.

Bella instantly stopped walking.

She looked down at the ground and leaned against the wall.

“I guess what they say is true. One can be too fucked up to love.” She whispered, refusing eye contact with me.

“Don’t say that, I’m sure he still loves you. He’d be a fucking idiot to not.” I replied, not being able to imagine someone who couldn’t love such a sweet and smart girl.

“It’s hard to believe someone fully loves you, when in times of need they go running off. I shouldn’t feel more cared and loved for by you than my own husband.” She attempted to reason with me.

“Don’t jump to any conclusions yet, Bella. Give him another month tops, and then come to a conclusion. It’s possible he’s just going through a bit of a tough patch.” I suggested, hating the advice I spewed at her, but also knowing that it would make her feel better.

“Ok.” She hesitantly agreed.

What she did next surprised, and flattered me.

Bella made her way from the wall, back to me, and gently wrapped her arms around my waist, her head resting perfectly on my heart.

I returned the mutual favor and pulled her even closer into my body, this was an embrace sent down from heaven.

Hugging Bella to me, could be compared to a small child hugging his or her favorite stuffed animal. Even though it couldn’t say it loved you, you knew without any doubt that it did. The soft fur was comparable to Bella’s beautiful brown hair, that my fingers couldn’t help but run through the soft locks. Her soft skin reminded me of how pure and precious of a gift she was to me.

Minutes went by, but I was so delighted to be holding her once more it truly felt like hours were passing by.

“Do you want me to let go?” I whispered.

“Please don’t.” She cried gently, her voice breaking as soft tears cascaded down her cheeks.

“Shhhh, don’t cry. I won’t let go until you tell me too.” I quietly reassured her, as her silent sobs now racked both of our bodies.

All I had to do was look at her for half a second, and I knew I wouldn’t be letting go anytime soon.

That was ok though.

I was prepared to spend an eternity here, if that was the price of her happiness.

Notes

Chance, time to step up your game, now wouldn't be a bad time to prove that you love Bella more than Tyler.

He's got a bit of tough competition though.

A fun little fact in case you guys didn't know, Tyler Burgess really does have a band called American Monster, with Logan Thayer and Brody Derozie, as well as his brother on drums. They're super good and I'd absolutely recommend you listen to them on youtube!!!!

Thanks again for reading, and within the next few days I'll have the next chapter up, which will in essence be a part 2 of this chapter.

Thrid book here I comeeee!! I love your ideas! Gosh I wish I was a good writer like you.

@BlackVeilsinWhite
Nope, it's still the same, which means I've no longer got access to my stories and I refuse to reupload them :(

@Eternally_Yours93
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that!

Hopefully, it's just a glitch and will let you get back into the other account soon!

I've talked to a few others on here who have had that same exact problem though, so at least you know it's not just you.

I'm thinking it's just a big old glitch from the website itself, as it tends to be finicky a lot.



I am so sad I can't access my other account Beautiful_Disaster... I've lost where I was on this book :( x

@Siora
I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying this story, I also want to say thank you for your advice. I took 2 well needed weeks off, and now I'm back!

New chapters will start being uploaded again starting in the next hour :)
