Not Good Enough (Falling in Reverse and Escape the Fate FanFic)

19. Us Rockstars ;)

Carter's POV:

I pulled on my top and jeans, looking ever so fly if I do say so myself. I put on a little more eyeliner than usual, waterproof, just in case. I teased my hair and added a bow. Yes, I looked like a highschool kid trying to be cool, but that's exactly what I am. So it works for me. I added a few bracelets, spongebob earrings, and my solid black vans. I gave myself a semi-thumbs up. I still hated how fat I was. I shook it off and left my room going across the hall to Ronnies.

"RONNAY!! You ready yet?" I asked impatiently by his door, which was locked.

"One second. It takes a while to look as good as me." He answered, I could hear the smirk.

"Unlock the door and I'll help you get pretty-fied!" I yelled just not wanting to stand awkwardly outside his door any longer.

"Fine." I heard shuffling before the door was opened. Ronnie was wearing white skinny jeans. And only white skinny jeans.

"RONALD!" I yelled sheilding my eyes from his half-nudeness. "Do you ever wear clothes?" I asked trying to sound annoyed when I honestly enjoyed it. Not that I'll ever admit to that....

"Oh, hushie. I know you enjoy it." He said shimmying a little. I couldn't help but giggle.

"No. No I do not. Now put on some clothes!" I said through my giggling

"Don't lie. Now come give Ronnie boy some sugar!" He walked over to me and nearly killed me in a bone crushing hug.

"Let. Me. Go." I said gasping for air.

"NEVER!" He shouted squeezing me tighter. I giggled and so did he. Yes. A giggle.

"Did you just giggle Mr. Radke??" I asked my giggle now turning in hysterical laughter.

"What? NO! I did not." He said letting go of me and shaking his head in disbelief.

"Alrighty. Whatever you say." I answered, still laughing.

"Yes. Whatever I say. And I say I did not giggle. Now, new subject. What should I wear?" He asked pulling me by my arm over to his closet.

"Uhm... how about this ?" I say pulling out a plain grey t-shirt and a black leather jacket.

"INDEED. It is perfect!" He answered nodding and taking the clothing from me.

"Yay. Well I'm gonna go check on Maxi Pad and everybody. I'll see you downstairs then." I said as I walked out of his room shtting the door behind me. I took a step towards the stairs and then stopped. Craig. He'll be down there. What should I say? Oh this sucks... Okay. stop thinking to yourself like a crazy person. Go down there and handle this like a big girl. Even though I am only a Junoir.... I took a step towards the stairs and before I couldtalk myself out of it I was heading to the living room. I was right, Craig was sitting on the couch already in his party wear.

"Hey Carter." He said as he looked away from the TV and saw me standing in the entry way of the living room.

"Oh, hey Craig." I said trying to hide my unwillingness to be in this situation.

"Come sit next to me, jeez. I don't bite." He said patting the spot next to him.

"Okay." I forced a smile and sat down on the couch next to him. He immediately wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

"So, about that kiss...." He started, but I interupted

"Yeah, I'm not sure what to think about it still." I answered scooting away and looking into his eyes.

"Look, don't worry too much about it. Listen, do you like me?" He asked, returning my gaze

"Yes, actually. But you aren't the only one I have feelings for." I answered truthfully
