Tell Me A Lie In A Beautiful Way (Avenged Sevenfold)

Chapter 38

Matt's POV

"Hey." I whispered in Kat's ear.

She opened her eye's and looked at me groggily.

"Babe." I murmured. "The seatbelt sign is on, we'll be landing soon."

She nodded and reached down, doing up her seatbelt and then closing her eye's again.

We were about to land in Canada, the European leg of the tour over. Another week and a half and we'd be home again and I was really looking forward to getting there.

The reason I was looking forward to going home was sitting right next to me. Kat. I was worried about her. She seemed so tired and maybe a little unhappy. Touring was hard and it was hectic and I was worried that she just wasn't coping with it. I'd talked to her about her and she assured me she was fine, but still I could see she wasn't herself and it worried me, I worried about her.

I reached over and took her hand as the plane landed and she opened her eye's and smiled at me. God, I really couldn't wait to get home just so we could spend some time together.

We all made our way off the plane, picking up our luggage and making our way through customs. It was at least another hour before we were on our way to the hotel.

"Everyone's going to the restaurant in the hotel for dinner tonight." I told Kat as the car made it's way to the hotel.

She looked at me yawning. "I might just stay in, rest."

"I can stay in with you." I told her softly and I wouldn't mind one little bit spending a night, just hanging out with her.

"Don't be silly." She told me smiling. "You go, I'll be fine."

I nodded, looking out the window. I wanted to tell her that I wasn't being silly, that I genuinely wanted to spend some time with my beautiful wife, but I didn't, I didn't say a word.

We arrived at the hotel and all checked in, making our way to our rooms.

"You shower first." Kat told me, as we looked around our room. "So you're not late."

I opened my bag, grabbing some clothes. "I don't mind staying in." I told her, looking at her.

She yawned again. "Honestly Matt, I'll probably just sleep, so go."

I nodded and leant over, kissing her softly. "I'll go for a little bit, then I might come back and we can cuddle in bed."

"That sounds wonderful." She murmured wrapping her arm's around my waist.

We stood like that for a few minutes, just holding each other, until Kat insisted I get in the shower.

I showered and while I got ready Kat went in and showered, returning a short time later in her pyjama's.

"Make sure you have something to eat." I told her, grabbing my wallet and phone.

"I will." She sighed, laying down on the bed.

"Kat." I said sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at her.

"Yes?" She asked, looking at me.

"Are you sure you're okay?" I asked her, reaching out and grabbing her hand.

"Matt." She murmured holding out her arm's. I laid down, letting her arm's encircle me. "I'm fine honey." She whispered. "I'm just really tired, and while I have the chance I thought I could catch up on some sleep so I'm all rested for the show tomorrow night."

"Okay." I murmured, looking at her and kissing her softly. "I love you."

She smiled one her award winning smiles, and seeing it made me feel better. "I love you." She whispered.

I kissed her again softly. "I swear Kat, I won't be long."

"Okay." She whispered.

I dropped another kiss on her lips, then got off the bed begrudgingly. Now I'd been laying on the bed with her I kind wanted to skip dinner. I went because I knew Kat wouldn't let me skip it anyway.

I made my way downstairs and Johnny, Dani and Brian were already there. Zack and Arin missing.

"Where's Kat?" Dani asked as I pulled my chair out, indicating to the waitress that I wanted a beer.

"She's in bed already." I told her. "She's just really tired."

Dani nodded, frowning. "Yeah I don't think she's been well." She told me. "I heard her throwing up yesterday."

"Well that makes sense." I said and it did make sense as to why Kat was so down. "She obviously had a virus or something."

"Probably." Dani agreed as the waitress put a beer in front of me.

We settled back and after Zack and Arin arrived followed by Dan, we all ordered, waiting for our meal.

We were sitting there talking amongst ourselves, just relaxing when I saw Zack look over my shoulder, frowning.

"I swear to fuck." He hissed, looking at me. "I did not invite her."

I frowned at him. "What the fuck are you talking about?" I asked him confused.

"Well." A voice I never wanted to hear again screeched. "Imagine running into you lot here of all places."

I turned around and there was Victoria, standing there, thinking she was all that.

"What the fuck." I muttered, glaring at her.

She smiled at me. "Well." She purred. "I heard you were having a show tomorrow night and I thought I'd come up and lend you my support."

"You can keep it." I snapped at her, pissed that she even had the hide and audacity to show up.

"That's rude Matt." She sniggered, grabbing a chair and pulling it over, making herself comfortable. "I don't think we've actually been introduced." She said turning to Dani.

"And you won't be." Brian snapped at her, putting his arm around Dani.

"Well no need to be rude." She snapped at Brian, turning her eye's back to me. "Where's your little wifey?" She asked me.

"Kat." I spat at her. "Her name is Kat and not that it's any of your business but she's upstairs sleeping."

"I see." She said reaching over and grabbing my beer, taking a mouthful. "Does she know yet? You know, about Larry."

"For fuck sake." I snapped at her. "Give up already."

"What about Larry?" Dani asked, looking interested.

"Oh you don't know." She said smiling her pathetic smile at her and taking another drink of my beer. "Larry asked Matt to marry to Kat, you know, to clean up his image."

"He did fucking not." I snapped, sick of this shit already.

Dani looked at me, and I swear of looks could kill I'd be dead right now. "Really Matt." She said coldly.

"Look." I snapped, pushing my chair back. "It might actually surprise you all, but I actually married Kat because I fucking wanted too. Now if you'll excuse me, I've had enough of this shit."

I didn't wait for anyone to reply, I just went straight to the elevator, going up to our room.

"You're back early." Kat said from the bed as I let myself in.

"Yeah." I said pulling my shirt over my head. "I wasn't in the mood." I didn't mention Victoria, I'd prefer that Kat not know she was here.

I pulled off my jeans and pulled back the cover's, climbing in the bed next to her.

"Besides." I murmured, wrapping my arm's around her and pulling her to my chest. "I'd rather be here with you."

"Good." She murmured.

I kissed her softly, holding her close. I would prefer to be here anyway.
