The Rockstar and The Outcast

Chapter 27 Coming to Chicago Part 1

(Ashley)

I have been in the most miserable state this past week. I have only felt like laying in my bunk, watching the quick videos I have collected of Peaches, and staring at pictures of her beautiful face. I'm not hungry and I probably look like I just walked through the desert. The only time I get up is to take a shower and play the shows.

The shows are the only time I'm not thinking about her. I get up in the stage and do what I do best. The crowd's loud cheers drone out the dirty looks that I get now and then from both bands. I deserve every single one of them. Jacky and Ryan have been amazing for helping out with our shows while CC and Jinxx are with Georgia.

I can't believe how big of an ass I was to her. I just hope that she forgives me and everything. I think this break was good in a way. It showed me how important Georgia is to me. I think I was beginning to take her a little bit for granted. But this break is also hell. I miss her like crazy and I have had all contact cut off from her. No phone calls, texts, emails, or letters to Georgia while she was away.

As of right now I am in my bunk. Everyone else is upfront doing what ever they do. We are traveling from Milwaukee to Chicago, so I will have a few good hours to myself. I grab my phone and begin to go through the pictures I have of Georgia and I. At each one I smile and memories flood my head. I see her stunning smile and bright eyes. It brings a tiny grin to my face. Then I'm reminded how I might have possibly fucked everything up. The grin disappears and is replaced with a blank stare.

I throw my phone down and try to come up with something to do. I can't sit here and dwell on the mistake I recently made. Then the idea comes to me that I should do something for Georgia. Something that shows her how much I love her, and how much she means to me. That also proves that I won't do anything like this again.

My mind can't come up with anything, so I text Andy. He is probably the one in the bus who knows Peaches enough to know what she likes, and doesn't hate me like everyone else does. He has probably tired helped me the most and has slightly forgiven my major mistake.

'Ash-hey are you busy? I need advice.'

'Andy-hang on I'm coming'

The curtain to my bunk is pulled back a minute later. I look to see Andy staring down at me.

"We might want to take this to the back lounge. Unless you want me to sit in there with you some how."

"Ok, we can go to the back," I reply

I get out and walk to the back lounge. I go and sit in the couch and Andy shuts the door. He grabs a bean bag and sets it in front of me, before sitting in it. He folds his hands in his lap and crosses one leg over the other.

"So what's up," he asks me.

"I need help coming up with a way to show Georgia that I was an ass, that she means more to me than anything, and I made a mistake that I won't make again," I reply out of breath.

Andy nods his head and begins to think. Then he begins to list off a few ideas, but none of them are good enough for my princess. This needs to be perfect.

"How about you sing her a song that represents how you feel about her," Andy suggests.

"Ok that sounds good, but what song do I want to choose," I ask while I dramatically lay down on the couch.

"Well that, my friend, is all up to you to choose," Andy says then stands up. "Now I'm going back out with Jake. Don't worry, what ever you choose, she will love it."

Then Andy left and I was left alone to choose a song that says so little to what it actually represents. I grabbed my phone and began to look through my playlist. I scrolled through until I found the absolute perfect song. I grabbed an acoustic guitar that was near by and began to play and sing it.

After playing it and doing some minor tweaking, it was perfect. I left the back lounge and went to my bunk. We were about to Chicago, so I began to pack a small bag for the hotel room. Then I went to the front of the bus to chill with Andy and Jake. Andy was on his phone, probably with Juliet. Jake was at the dinette eating something.

"So you figure out what song your going to do," Andy asked me.

"Yeah, I finally got it figured out," I quietly replied.

"What did you figure out," Jake asked.

"Oh I decided to play a song for Georgia that expresses how much I love her and only her," I replied with a sort of confidence in my voice.

"Glad to hear that you two might be makin up, but I swear Purdy," Jake began.

"Let me guess you will rip off my genitals and feed them to me, am I right," I asked before Jake could continue.

"Yeah something like that," he replied with a smirk.

An hour later we arrived at the hotel that would be our home for the next few days. I grabbed my black duffle bag and black acoustic guitar before getting off the bus, and starting to walk to the hotel. I went up to the front desk and grabbed my room key. I quickly found my room and unlocked the door. It looked like every other hotel room I stayed in, but this on seemed emptier. I set my things down and went to the bed. I grabbed my phone from my pocket to see that I got a text from CC.

'CC-We are here, Georgia will probably want to see you soon'

I felt butterflies and anxious as I read his text.

'Ash-ok bring her to my room 789 on the fifth floor when she is ready'

I was excited. I am getting to see my girl after almost two weeks with out her. I miss her so much. Yet there is also the chance that she will not want anything else to do with me. I hope that's not the case here.

I decided to grab a quick shower before Georgia showed up. After my shower I quickly shaved and did my hair. Then I dug through my bag until I found a Metallica shirt and dark wash jeans. Once I deemed that everything was good, I sat in silence and anticipation. I heard the soft tapping on the door and got up. Well here goes nothing.
