Liz's POV:
I'm currently on my way to the Orpheum. I'm running late as I had to work at the pizza shop but I wouldn't miss this for the world. My boys are finally playing their dream venue! That's insane! They've earnt it though and I could not be prouder of them. I even decided to wear a Reggie inspired look to commemorate the occasion. And so he can pick me out of the crowd whilst they perform. I walk into the Orpheum and see Bobby talking to a girl but the others are nowhere to be seen. I walk over to Bobby as he's in the middle of what seems to be flirting, but kinda hard to tell with how bad he is right now.
"Hello Robert, Where are the guys?" I ask him looking around while also using his full first name to embarrass him in front of the girl.
"They went to go get street dogs. I stayed here obviously 'cause I'm vegetarian as you know" he tells me with a smirk, obviously trying to impress this poor girl. I scoff and roll my eyes at him
"They're seriously getting street dogs? Those things are going to kill them one day, mark my words" I say.
Before anyone can respond, we hear sirens outside as two paramedics enter the building. My heart drops to the pit of my stomach as I get a horrible feeling fill me as they both approach me and Bobby
"Evening guys, are any of you connected to the band Sunset Curve?" The taller of the two asks us. I stay silent, unsure if I would actually be able to say anything if I even tried.
"Um yeah, I'm the rhythm guitarist, and this the sister of one of the other members" Bobby tells them, only just making the words out himself. "What's the problem?" he asks cautiously, even we both have a feeling we already know the answer.
"Three of the members were involved in a case of food poisoning. I'm so sorry, they didn't make it" he tells us sympathetically.
It's like time stops. I'm completely frozen, not giving any kind of reaction. I feel numb. I don't even notice I'm crying until I hear one of my tears hit my leather jacket. Leather Jacket, Reggie. He's gone. The love of my life gone. Killed by a fucking hot dog. Sounds like a Reggie way to go. He'd probably joke about that if he was here, but he's not. He'll never be here again. I'll never get to see my goofy lovable boyfriend again.
Luke, my best friend. I know it was probably his stupid idea, he used to have them all time when living in the studio. And yet, I can't even be mad at him. I want to, a lot, but I just can't for some reason. I'm just not. I love him, we've been through so much and for him to leave this way is unbelievable. It's a reality I don't want to accept. For any of them
