I've been waiting for this moment ever since I've laid eyes on him when he was playing on stage.
Conscience:HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND!!!
I slapped myself out of my thoughts. Thank you conscience.
I pulled away then looked up at him.
"The only person you should care this much for is your girlfriend." I said while wiping my eyes.
He stood speechless.
I walked away to the bus.
"Hey! I have great news for you!" Spencer smiled.
"What?" I quickly pulled a smile on my face.
"Well it's not great news for Ricky but it is for you!" He smiled
"Just tell me!"
"Ricky's gf broke up with him yesterday!"
Those words rang in my ears.
I COULD KICK MYSELF IN MY ASS RIGHT NOW!!!
"Fuck!" I said.
"What happened?" He asked.
"I'm so fucking stupid! I was crying because Jordan kissed me and I didn't want to ruin our friendship then Ricky saw me crying and be hugged me and I said something really fucking stupid!!"
"What did you say??"
"I told him that the only person he should care this much for is his girlfriend! I could fucking slap myself right now!"
"Damn...And Jordan kissed you?!"
"Yes! Don't worry about that right now!"
"I need to find Ricky! I'll be right back!"
"Wait! But who's Jordan?!"
I opened the door then remembered about Dexter. I left him at the tent!
I ran to the INK tent and didn't see him.
I saw the MIW crew chasing after him.
Fuck!
I ran towards him then he ran onto the Motionless In White stage.
The tall dude chuckled while he sang and so did Ricky.
He chased his tail on stage and the guys laughed.
The tall dude picked him up while he sang then danced with him.
I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Clover! Get your dog!" The tour manager said.
Oh! Right! My dog!
I walked on the stage then the tall dude gave Dexter to me.
I quickly got off of the stage then Ricky looked at me.
I looked away then I walked back to the bus.
I felt too guilty just to look at him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I helped take the tent down and put everything away.
At the moment, I was trying to fit one of the tent legs in the case when Ricky walked up to me.
"Hey..." He said nervously.
"Hey, I've been meaning to talk to you..." I said.
I struggled to get the leg in.
"I'm. Sorry. About." I took a pause.
"I hate my job." I said while looking up at Ricky.
He chuckled then took the leg apart.
I blushed. "I forgot it does that..."
He chuckled then put them in the case.
"I'm sorry about what I said earlier...about the girlfriend thing. I didn't know, I'm sorry that happened to you by the way"
"Stop being so sympathetic..." He joked.
"Well" I said while dragging out the 'L'
He chuckled.
"So you're still coming tonight,right?"
"Yes, you asked me a thousand times already" I giggled.
Did I just giggle?.
"Alright. Meet me-"
"By the gate at nine" I smiled.
"Haha, see you then" he laughed while walking away.
I smiled then I closed the case.
I carried it to the truck and shoved it in there. I was the last one outside by the truck so I locked it and took Dexter for a little walk.
We went on the bus then I fed him and I took a shower.
I blow dried my hair and curled it then wore my red lipstick and my typical winged eyeliner.
I wore my knee high pantyhose with little bats on them with a black skater skirt and a Him shirt tucked in the skirt. I put my combat boots on then I waited until nine o'clock, I had 15 minutes. I read just to pass time by.
"What we can't do is demand that the universe scratch our explanatory itches. Curiosity is a virtue, and it's good to look for answers to "why?" Questions whenever we might be able to find them, or when we think that asking such questions might help us to understand things better. But we should be at peace with the possibility that, for some questions the answer doesn't go any deeper than "that's what it is." We're not used to that--our intuition assures us that every event can be explained in terms of some reason why. To understand why we have that impression, we need to dig more deeply into how our actual universe has evolved."
That was the end of the chapter. I slid my finger across the top edge of the page to turn it but I ended up getting a paper cut. I was bleeding a little so I walked to the bathroom and held it under the cold water for a bit.
I checked the time and it was 8:57
"Guys! I'm leaving!" I said.
The all laughed from the living area playing there loud music. I walked into the living area and they all smiled.
"BYE, BYE, BYE!" Spencer sang along to NSYNC while waving at me.
"You goof" I laughed while hugging him.
I left then I walked to the gate but I didn't see Ricky anywhere.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I waited 20 minutes there it was currently 9:17.
I put my phone away in my skirt pocket then I turned to walk back to my bus.
I should've known it was a joke...even the tall dude was all suspicious about it.
"When you slam down the hammer, can you see it in your heart?" I sang quietly.
"All of the rumors keeping me grounded, I never said that they were completely unfounded." I sang more.
"Hey,Morrissey!" Ricky laughed while jogging towards me.
"Sorry WE'RE late but Mr.Perfect was doing his eyebrows" he said while pointing at the tall one.
I chuckled.
"I almost thought you guys..." I trailed off.
"Stood you up? No, we would never stand someone up like that" Vinny said.
"Alright, let's go" the tall one said.
"I don't think I gave you a pretty good introduction before, hi, I'm Chris" he smiled while holding his hand out for me to shake.
"I'm mystery girl...if that sounds any familiar..." I said while looking at Vinny and Ricky.
They both looked at each other and turned red.
I chuckled then the two other guys did also.
"This is Ryan and Devin but he prefers to be called Ghost" Chris smiled.
They both waved at me with a cheeky smile.
"Where's Balz?" Ricky asked.
"Oh shit...he told us to wait for him..." Vinny said.
We stopped walking.
"Do all guys forget things this easily?" I asked with a chuckle.
We all walked back to the bus.
"Ehh...most." Ricky said.
I stood silent.
I hummed Sweet Child O' mine quietly.
"She's got a smile it seems to me, reminds me of child hood memories, where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky" Chris sang.
I looked up at him and he smiled at me. I pulled a wee smile.
"Balz! Hurry up! We're hungry!" Ryan banged on the bathroom door.
"I'm taking a shit!" He shouted.
"Oh...he needs to make room for the food." Vinny chuckled.
Balz came out of the bathroom then we all left.
I walked quietly.
"Why are you all quiet?" Ricky chuckled.
"Why am I the only girl here?" I asked.
The rest of the guys sped walked away from us which was very suspicious.
"Oh...well,erm. I don't know? You just seemed like a cool person." He smiled nervously.
"A cool person?? After what you saw at the hospital,you think I'm cool???"
"I mean your personality,"
"Yeah, I have a pretty fucked up personality" I scoffed.
"You might think you do but the guys and I don't"
