Lost It All

Hair and Wardrobe

Alora's P.O.V.

Everyone was out getting some dinner, Chrissy went for burgers and all of the guys went and ordered Chinese while they had a talked with Andy. I had to get a cab to go back to my apartment to grab all of my equipment for the show tonight. I took Reggie for a walk and fed him again before heading back to the venue. I felt like things were going to go alright. And I would have a chance to talk to Andy if he decided to even speak to me after what had happened. That's all I can really hope is that he'll even want to talk to me. I got back in the cab with my kit and went back to the venue and walked to the trailer. Ashley was standing with  CC, Jake and Jinxx while they were smoking. When I opened the door I could see Andy sitting in front of a mirror. "Oh, hey Alora..." He said as he pushed his hair back from his face and put some more antiseptic on his cut. I blinked a little and bit my lip as I walked farther into the trailer. "Hey Andy. You okay?" I asked as I started to set up my flat irons, products and the warpaint. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm sorry for being such a jackass earlier. I was just jealous, for some reason I don't really know. I guess I just wanted to have time with you. But you wanted to be with Ashley. I should have known better." He admitted, probably partly to himself. "It's okay Andy. You just need to remember that you have Juliet by your side. She thinks the world of you and she wouldn't be happy if she knew about all of this." I said as I turned on the flat iron and sat on one of the stools. "Okay, but what about Ashley?" Andy asked turning on the stool to face me. I shrugged a little. "I don't know what's going to happen. I mean I think he's amazing of course but I know his track record too. All I know is that I'm happy for the first time in a really long time and I'm not going to try and question it. I do that too much and I mess everything up." I replied and pushed my hair over and grabbed my hairspray and fixed my hair a little bit. "That's a good way to be." Andy said with a light smile. I nodded slightly then looked out the window and saw the rest of the guys coming over to the trailer. "I guess it's time to start getting ready. You gonna let me help you get ready this time?" I asked arching my eyebrow slightly. Andy chuckled a little bit then nodded. "Yeah, work your magic." I smiled and started to straighten Andy's hair and did his warpaint before sending him to wardrobe with Chrissy then I did Jinxx, Jake and CC. I had to make sure that I covered a bunch of hickey's that Chrissy had left behind. "Make sure she dosn't mess up my masterpiece." I joked. CC rolled his eyes and laughed before going to change. Then I had Ashley in my chair. "Hey, I'm sorry about your eye." I said as I started to cover the bruise with the makeup. "You were worth it to me Alora." Ashley said as he looked up at me as I gently patted the flesh coloured makeup onto his face. I smiled lightly and bit my lip as I went into my concentration zone. Everything had to be smooth and even in tone before I start to add the warpaint. "Are you excited?" He asked. "Yeah, this is my dream come true. Ever since I started doing hair. It's been my dream to style you guys." I admitted as I started to apply the black and the little bit of pink pigment to his lips. "Oh really? Why?" Ashley watched me walk around the trailer to grab the flat iron and the heat protectant. "It's a long story. And I don't really want to bum you out before the show." I said as I started to spray the hair with the heat protectant and pull the flat iron through it. "Please tell me?" Ashley almost seemed to pout. I giggled a little bit then sighed. "Fine fine." So I started to tell the story of how I went to beauty school and how everything started just fine. All of the girls were nice and helpful but how towards the end they started to get mean and it was like high school all over again. I was getting bullied and again just like high school no one really did anything. I told Ashley about how I hadn't listened to their music since I had bought the Set The World on Fire album because my mom didn't like me listening to it. But I started listening to them again. And that was a good thing too because I was almost to the point where I was just going to drop out and get a job flipping burgers or cleaning toilets just so I didn't have to deal with bitchy girls everyday for the rest of my life. "So, that was the second time your music had saved me from a big mistake." I finished. Ashley smiled and was putting the finishing touches on Ashley's hair and put on the officer's hat. "I'm glad you're here Alora. I'm glad you didn't give up." He said taking my hands and rubbing the top of my hands then he kissed my lips gently, I kissed him back. "Now go get pretty, I want to see you on the side stage tonight." Ashley grinned then got up and went to wardrobe with Chrissy. Now I was curious, why did he want me on side stage? Well, he did say that I was with him so I guess that could be why. I took a deep breath and sat in front of the mirror and fixed my eyeliner and put on more of the red lipstick. I grabbed my key to the trailer and locked it as I left. Then I started to go down the street to a little clothing shop to get a new pair of pants. I couldn't be on stage with dress pants. That's just not okay. So I went and got a pair of black jeans and a new pair of boots. I changed and threw out my old clothes and went to the House Of Blues and the security guys let me back and I went and waited for the show to start.
