Celebrate The Way That Night Hides Scars
Chapter 61
*Danielle's POV*
"I don't blame you and tonight I am going to tell my dad because I don't think he remembers either." Andy said to me. Once he said they remember me I had instantly sobered up. But now I was just filled with confusion.
"How the hell do you remember me?" I asked my son, but he was gone. "What the fuck?" I asked myself then remembered I have a job to do and if ask Daryl later. I took one more drink of my vodka then carried boxes in and found a quiet place I could go. "Daryl."
"I have no answer for you." Said his voice.
"You said you removed me from their memories."
"I did. I know I did. It was the only way to fix anything I did."
"How do they remember me?"
"They've always been weird and the little one sees the paranormal. I can't explain it! Any normal person would never be able to remember! They're weird fuckers I don't understand."
"You don't understand them at all?"
"No, I don't." He said defeated.
*Tay's POV*
I was getting ready to go on stage for my one song. It was a little awkward to walk, but I had to try and hide it. I gave myself to Cameron and we had sex. It was a little awkward, but I had always heard that the first time is always at least a little awkward. I'm so happy he was my first. I trust him so much. "Tony's daughter Tay is gonna sing you a song. Come on out Tay!" Vic said calling me on stage. I walked up to the mic.
"Hey, I'm gonna play a kind of sad song. If you know the words, it'd be amazing to hear you sing along." I said with a smile. "This song's called Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley and Allison Krauss." I said then stated playing it. "She put him out, like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette. She broke his heart, he spent his whole life tryin' to forget. We watched him drink his pain away, a little at a time. But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind, until the night."
The crowd was swaying and singing with their phones lit up and lifted above them. "He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger. He finally drank away her memory. Life is short, but this time it was bigger, than the strength he had to get up off his knees. We found him with his face down in the pillow, with a note that said 'I'll love her till I die', and when we burried him beneath the willow, the angels sang a whiskey lullaby."
I let the crowd sing the lullaby and tried not to feel nervous with everyone just watching me. People from all directions. This was the biggest crowd I've played and it made me nervous. "The rumors flew, but nobody knew how much she blamed herself. For years and years, she tried to his the whiskey on on her breath. She finally drank her pain away a little at all time, but she never could get drunk enough, to get him off her mind, until the night."
I was near tears now, both from the song and trying not to freak out. "She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger, she finally drank away his memory. Life is short, but this time it was bigger, than the strength she had to get up off her knees. We found her with her face down in the pillow, clingin' to his picture for dear life. We laid her next to him beneath the wrote, and the angels sang a whiskey lullaby."
Me and the cried sang the lullaby for the rest of the song. "Thank you." I said quietly. I ran off stage, have the guitar to the tech guy and ran to the tour bus. I got in my bunk as a panic attack set in.
"Tay?" I heard Cameron's voice as he walked on the bus. He found me in my bunk. "Babe, what's wrong?" I felt like I couldn't talk. Cameron pulled me out of the bunk and sat on the ground, and pulled me into his lap. He tried to find any way to help me, and eventually did.
*Andy's POV*
Tay had just finished singing on stage. Ashley, Cameron and I watched as she ran out of the building. I could tell something was wrong. "Go after her, something's wrong. I can tell." I said to Cameron. He nodded and went after her.
"Babe, do you think she'll be okay?" Ashley asked worried about Tay.
"I have faith that Cameron will be able to handle it." I said softly. "Let's go see my uncles." I said with a smile and we set off to find Andy and Matt.
"How's my favorite little couple?" Andy asked upon seeing us walk into the BVB room.
"We're doing pretty good." I said with a smile.
"This little boy is really active today." Ashley said holding her stomach and looking down at it.
"Can I feel?" Andy asked my girlfriend excitedly.
"Yeah." Ashley said with a smile. She grabbed my uncle's hand and placed it on her stomach. I could see pure joy and happiness on his face as my son kicked his have.
"It's amazing and beautiful to think a human being is growing inside of you, but it's also kind of creepy." Andy said making me chuckle.
"He's already making me lose sleep. I wake up to him kicking sometimes when I'm asleep with Ash." I said to my uncle. "In surprised Ash doesn't wake up to it all the time."
"Well, he's gonna be the BVB mascot once he's born! I hope you know, I WILL spoil the shit out of him." Andy said excitedly.
"As long as you change diapers too." Ashley said and giggled.
"Just don't spoil him too much." I said. I don't want my kids being spoiled so much they don't know how to take care of themselves.
"No worries. I'll teach him some things as well." Andy said.
"Where's Matt?" I asked.
"Out drinking with his band, why?"
"I just haven't seen him in a while or talked to him in a while is all." I said to him and hugged Ashley from behind.
*Ben's POV*
"Ben, wake up!" My dad yelled at me. I woke up and looked at him. "It's time to go back to the bus." My dad said helping me to stand.
"I feel weird." I said and quietly laughed.
"It's probably your meds." My dad said as we slowly walked on the bus.
"Owww." I whined and held my wrapped up hand.
"Sally where are his meds?" My dad asked.
"Here." Sally said handing me two, but my dad only let me take one.
"He only needs one, trust me." My dad said and watched as I took the pill. After that, I stood up and walked towards my bunk. "Where are you going?" My dad asked.
"Sleep." Was my only response. I got in my bunk. Sally opened the curtain to it and I opened my arms to her. She got in the bunk and and crawled into my arms.
"Why'd you do it?" Sally asked me. I yawned before answering. The medicine effects always made me really truthful, as if I was drunk.
"I was really frustrated." I said quietly.
"Why were you frustrated?"
"Everything. My mom not having an actual choice to be with us. Tay hating her for it. A dream I had after that car crash. The demon came to me before the dream and told me it's a sneak peak to the future."
"What happened in the dream?"
"Please don't ever leave me like that." I said starting to cry because of the dream.
"What are you talking about Ben? I'm not gonna leave you, babe." Sally said to me and put her hand on my cheek lovingly.
"But you did. You killed yourself because of me." I cried.
"What? Why?" She asked confused.
"Because you found me in bed with another guy. I don't know why or how it could happen though. I'm not gay."
"Babe, don't even worry about that. It won't happen and I can promise you that."
*Third Person POV*
"Vic, I've been avoiding telling you something since I got here." Danielle said to her husband.
"What is it?" Vic asked.
"I've been scared to say it cause I don't know how you'll react." Danielle said.
"Just tell me what it is babe." Vic couldn't figure out why he was worried she would say she has cancer.
"Babe....we're having another kid." Danielle said quietly.
"Wait......you're?....." Vic trailed off.
"Yes, I'm pregnant." Danielle said and searched her husband's eyes for a good reaction.
"Babe that's great news!" Vic said with a big smile and hugged his wife excitedly.
"Okay, we need to tell you something." Andy said to his dad, Erin, Vic, Danielle, Jaime, and Jessica.
"This may sound insane, but will hopefully jog some memories that were taken from you." Cameron and Ashley said.
"Go on." Tony encouraged the teens though he was confused about it.
"Okay. So....."
"I don't blame you and tonight I am going to tell my dad because I don't think he remembers either." Andy said to me. Once he said they remember me I had instantly sobered up. But now I was just filled with confusion.
"How the hell do you remember me?" I asked my son, but he was gone. "What the fuck?" I asked myself then remembered I have a job to do and if ask Daryl later. I took one more drink of my vodka then carried boxes in and found a quiet place I could go. "Daryl."

Notes
So, I almost didn't type this chapter up today, yay for amazing depression and terrible people. *Weakly smiles with two thumbs up* I had a little moment when I wrote it where Andy joked about telling Matt he's the godmother and laughed, but I didn;t feel like it was good enough to stay so I changed it. I hope you guys like this chapter.
Tay and Cam had sex, Tay had a panic attack due to the big crowd, Ben is truthful when using medication and told Sally about his dream, Andy B is very excited to spoil Ashley's son.
What do you think will happen next as Tay is telling the parents? Will anyone tell Mike and Alysha?
Can;t wait to find out from my lovely coauthor.
