Soon days turned into months, one show turned into many. Two or three every week to be exact. My relationship with Courtney was amazing and the band was amazing as well. We were all getting ready for another show when Courtney walked out of her dressing room.
"Hey babe do you think this looks okay?", she questioned.
I turned my head around to see her standing there in a black leather top, red leather pants, a bullet belt, and her hair teased up high.
"Of course you look amazing baby", I said happily.
She smiled and bent down to kiss me.
Soon me and Kirk were on stage in our positions when Courtney strutted out and started playing and singing.

Now listen up
She's a razor sharp
If she don't get her way
She'll slice you apart
Now she's a cool, cool black
She moves like a cat
If you don't get her name
Well, you might not make it back

She's got the looks that kill, that kill, oh
She's got the looks that kill, that kill, oh
She's got the look

We played a few more cover songs before ending our set with a few of our originals. Once we ended our last song the crowd went wild. Everyone was clapping and screaming as we made our way off stage. An hour later we were sitting at a booth in the back watching another band play when a nice dressed guy walked up and introduced himself.
"Hello my name is Doc, nice to meet you guys."

Courtney spoke up, "Hello nice to meet you, I'm Courtney."
Me and Kirk introduced ourselves before he continued talking.
"So I've been coming to your shows for a while and I was wondering if you guys would be interested in signing to my record label.", he said.
We all looked around shocked before we all yelled a big yes in his face.
I laughed a bit before speaking, "Sorry sir but yes we would love that."
"Okay great I'll set up a meeting for you guys. Here's my number if you have any questions. I'll see you tomorrow morning at 11.", he said.
As he walked away we just looked around at each other in complete shock. We quickly embraced each other with big smiles on our faces.
The next day we all got up early and got dressed to head to the meeting. Once we arrived a nice dressed lady with brown hair escorted us to a room with a big table in the center. Shortly after people dressed in nice clothes started to pile in and the guy from last night spoke to all of us. We talked about the deal and signed some papers and that was it.
We are officially apart of Roadrunner Records!!

About a week passed since being signed to a record label and they already got a studio set up for us to record our first album. Since we already had a bunch of original songs it didn't take long for us to record our songs. Once the week had ended we were on our last song but for some reason it just wouldn't come together the way we wanted it to. We were all laying around feeling uninspired when an idea must have popped into Courtney's head.
"Guys I know! I know what we're missing for the song!", she basically screamed.
"Uhh okay what is it then?", Kirk asked.
Courtney gave a small smile before speaking again,"okay okay so you guys remember when we would have those threesomes all the time, well I think we should do it again.... and record the audio.... and put it in the song."
Kirk got really excited and was on board with the plan but I just didn't like it. I forced a smile onto my face and agreed but deep down I hated the fact that Courtney was about to sleep with someone other than me.
We finally finished our little show we put on for the recording and Courtney went and mixed the sounds into the song. Even though I hated doing it, I'll admit it made the song sound really good and it just kinda completed it. Kirk called up Doc and told him that the album was done and we headed out to a local bar to get wasted.
I hadn't spoke to Courtney since we were at the studio and she could tell something was wrong so she pulled me aside and tried to ask what was wrong.
"Nothings wrong just leave me alone", I yelled in her face.
She looked at me with hate in her eyes. The look I hadn't seen since the night in the diner when she beat that girl up.
"Fine. Be that way. You want me to leave you alone, I'll leave you alone.", she said and then stormed off.
After our little argument I decided to just walk home. Hours passed by of me watching tv and doing nothing before I heard stumbling coming through the door. I looked over to see Kirk and Courtney clinging onto each other trying not to fall from being so drunk and then I heard a loud thud. Kirk fell to the ground with Courtney on top of him. It made me so mad to see her like that on him. I'm sure she didn't realize what she was doing but it made me so mad I got up and snatched her off of him before punching him in the face making Kirk pass out and then slapping Courtney across the face. I stormed out of the house and slammed the door behind me.
