THE LONG ROAD     


                                               -Chapter one-
                                                    April 5th

  I was sitting on my bed messing with my laptop one night. I was on Hot Topic searching for some new clothes. I ordered a pair of black boots, knee high with buckles going up the side, a pair of acid wash jeans, a black leather fedora & a lip and nose ring.
   When I was done shopping, I went on the Avenged Sevenfold website. I was aimlessly clicking on things, about five minuets in, I found a banner that said “CONTEST!” if you enter now you will be able to win a months vacation with your favorite men! M.Shadows, Synyster Gates, Zacky Vengeance, Johnny Christ, & The Rev! Once I read that, I quickly clicked on the banner & put in my information. When I finished, it said I will get a phone call from the band if I won!
   I was getting really tired, when I looked at the clock, it said 1:39am. Wow time really flew. So I closed my laptop, laid back & pulled the blankets over me. I thought of how great it would be if I won the contest.
   Moments later, my black cat Frankie jumped on my bed. He walked over and sat on my chest… he always put his paws in the worse places… once he laid down, I remembered that my sixteenth birthday was in five months, so maybe I could beg them to come and hang out with me, if we got to be good friends, that is. Once I fell asleep, I dreamed about Avenged Sevenfold all night.

                                                 -Morning-

   I heard a knock at my door. My mom walked in and said it was time to get up. I growled at her, but then got up. I went into the bathroom and turned on my radio, the song Afterlife came on. I began to comb through my red, blue and black hair, my natural hair color is brunette but I wanted red and blue stripes in it.
   While I was putting on my makeup, I was daydreaming about The Rev, while daydreaming, I heard a scream from down stairs. ROSE COME GET YOUR FUCKING SNAKE!!! I rolled my eyes as I walked casually down the stairs. What I saw had to be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen! My dad. On the kitchen table. With a broom.
I couldn’t help but laugh and roll on the floor. This isn’t funny! Dad said. There’s a twelve foot red-tailed boa right there!
   I made one of my sarcastic faces and went to pick up my snake. Good boy Salem for scaring daddy! I said. I gentle kissed Salem’s nose.
   When I got my dad off the table, I went back up to my room. I set Salem on my bed, he just went under my blankets. I finished putting on my makeup, keeping a close eye on Salem as I did. When I finished, I remembered what I did last night! I quickly checked for messages on my cell phone… there weren’t any. I sighed to myself. But on the brighter side, it was Saturday, so I can do absolutely nothing! After a few minuets I got bored, so I pulled out my laptop, snuggled up with Salem, got on Myspace and listened to Avenged Sevenfold. When I finished answering my mail, I spent the rest of the day, daydreaming of Avenged Sevenfold.
