the show didn't start for about another half hour. meaning fans were starting to line up outside and in the pit.
The bands had been quite busy with sound check today, so I hadn't gotten to see Noah much.
I see a girl walk into the green room that I'd never seen before.
"Hey, you look like you are lost." I say.
"uh yeah, sorry. I'm supposed to be photographing the bands tonight. I kinda lost my way and the guards sent me here." the girl says with a nervous chuckle.
"oh, I can help, you should be in the photo pit. Lillian, by the way. Lillian radke." I say walking down the hall.
"wait you are Ronnie radkes daughter? I'm Aliyah."
She sounded surprised.
"I need to make a pit stop before I show you the way. Is that okay?" I ask.
"absolutely." She agrees to follow. And I ask her questions about photography and such.
I take her to the green room where the bands were preparing for their sets.
"You can chill here or follow me. Which ever is fine." I say walking toward bad omens.
"Good luck out there tonight guys." I wink.
"Uhh lil? Who's your friend" jolly asks.
"Oh this is Aliyah, she is our photographer." I step to the side giving her the chance to introduce herself.
"Hi I'm Aliyah." She gives a small wave.
"This is bad omens. You have this Sasquatch, his name is Noah." I laugh. "That's jolly, he is my favorite Swede on the planet" I say pointing at jolly. "And that's Nicholas, he does tattoos. ANDDD last but surely not least, that is nic Folio." I watch folio zone out and then back in again.
"Hi" he says nervously.
"Hi." Aliyah responds. This could be interesting.
she turns away and I see folios eyes get bigger, like he'd just met the president. Nicholas hits him on the chest.
"Snap out of it dude." He laughs.
"Don't mind those guys. They play more than they work sometimes. " I laugh.
"Interesting. folio, what does he do?" She asks.
"Drums. He is a little baby drummer man." I joke.
"wow." I grab her hand and show her out to the photo pit.
"TAKE GREAT PHOTOS TONIGHT. Good LUCK" I yell over the PA.
I give her a small wave and leave to stand in side stage.
I watched as all of the sets cleared.
My dad brought me out.
"And now the real star of the show.. LILIAN" he says enthusiastically. "Wanna say hi, Lilly."
"HI TUSCON!!" I wave.
we take a photo with the crowd and I leave set going back to the green room to take my meds and such.
I go to Noah's dressing room because no one was in there.
I draw up my insulin and lean against the bar.
"it freaks me out seeing you do that." I hear a voice.
"Andy- you scared me. Could you imagine how bad it messes with me?" I ask in response.
"how have you been kid?" He asks.
"Fine . Actually I wanted to tell you something because I trust you with knowing first." I say.
"Spill it." Andy says
" Noah and I," I start.
"Are a thing? Yeah I knew already." He laughs
"Wha- HOW" I ask confused.
"uncle instincts duh. Vic also knows. so just save your time" he grins.
"I hate all of you. Just don't tell my dad yet." I plead.
"lips are sealed kid. Scouts honor." He lifts three fingers and chuckles.
he gets a text and leaves the room leaving me alone in the silence again.
"heyyyy you." Noah says leaning in the door way.
I get up and tackle him with a tight hug.
"Hello love. that was such an amazing show." I smile up at him.
"Was it? I think that band, bad omens did a shit job." He joked
"Shut up." I laugh. I burrow my face into his chest a minute more.
"are you okay babe?" He asks.
"Yeah," I sigh "I just missed you today. I know I seen you like nine times but it wasn't enough."
"well the let me fix it." he says grabbing my cheeks into his palms. he kisses my forehead, then my nose and my cupids bow.
He scoops me into a hug and Carries he to the couch.
"I know I was pretty busy today." he says sitting me down. "I'm super overstimulated right now though. Will you sit with me in the quiet?" He asks.
"Yes baby. I will sit with you in the quiet for a little bit." I straddle his lap and hug him as he hugs me.
"This better?" I ask.
"Yes 100%" he smiles. we sit in silence for a moment and the I get up.
"Where are you going?" Noah wines.
I walk over to get a hair brush and two hair ties.
"Nowhere I'm gonna play with your hair because that's what I like when I'm stressed." I say as a get on the back of the couch.
I start brushing his long brown hair. Strand by strand.
I hear him sigh and yawn.
"This makes me so sleepy." He yawns.
"Then close your eyes, rest love" I say.
I tilt his head as he sleeps, breading his hair in a French braid. his hair was breathtakingly beautiful. prettier than mine could ever be. so soft almost like a child's hair.
I wake him slightly and flip to the other side.
Stopping here and there to admire my boyfriends beauty. Boyfriend. Never thought I would call him that. but I'm glad I can.
as his hair got done I allowed him to sleep for a few moments before softly moving.
we had decided to get a hotel that night after clean up so we could all take showers and what not. I got stuck in a room with bad omens. Well not really, I asked.
two twin beds and a pull out couch.
Jolly and Ruffilo took the bed to the left and folio voluntarily took the couch. leaving Noah and I the bed to the right.
we talked and joked around whilst we took showers.
"Can you braid my hair like that Lillian?" Jolly asks.
"Of course! One braid or two?" I ask in response
"twO" he smiles.
I braid jolly's hair as Nicholas comes out of the bathroom.
"will you do mine?" he asks.
"Of course Nicky!" I say.
"You can do mine in one braid." He says.
I do nicholas' hair and decide to change into my bad omens shirt that I had stolen from Noah.
I laid down in the bed, next to Noah.
" REMEMBER CHILDREN ABSTINENCE IN THE HOTEL ROOM." folio says as he turns out the light.
"FOLIO, DONT MAKE ME BEAT YOUR ASS" I say as laughter busts out throughout the room.
I throw an extra pillow at him and turned toward Noah. he smelled like heaven. He put his arms around me and I melted into his touch. everytime he touched me, my body craved more.
"Good night boys." I say.
"Goodnight" I hear from Nicholas.
"Night" folio responds.
"dröm sött Lillian." Jolly yawns.
"Good night love." Noah says last sending me off to sleep with a kiss on the forehead. I want this. Forever.
Okay, maybe not with the three other bodies in the room. But you know what I mean.
