Uh oh

Charlotte wanted to be quick so that they didn't have to keep an eye on Lennox very long even though she knew he wouldn't cause them any trouble since they were his idols. But right as she rounded the corner, she accidentally bumped into someone and quickly realized it was Johnny, which unfortunately, her doing that, caused him to spill his drink on himself.

"Shit, sorry." She sighed out with a small headshake.

"Son of a bitch." He groaned as he tried to wipe his shirt off with his hand. "Just what I need now."

"I'm sorry Johnny, I didn't mean to." She quickly grabbed some napkins out of her bag and handed them to him.

If he hadn't recognized her voice instantly, he would have had more of an attitude over her doing that because he wasn't in the greatest mood at that moment. But when he did hear her voice he couldn't help but smile. 

"I see you made it." He continued to smile as he took the napkins and started drying his shirt off as best as he could, "Where you going anyways that you're in such a hurry?" 

"Oh uhm going to the restroom real quick. Which I need to do and get back to the dressing rooms, I left Lennox in there." 

"I'll walk with you." 

He knew he should probably get back to the dressing room quickly because the band will be needed to do soundcheck soon but he'd rather talk to Charlotte longer and catch up more with her. Plus, he figured talking to her might make him feel better since he had just gotten off the phone with Lacey and it ended with an argument.

"So how long have you worked at that place you do now?" 

"For about a year actually. I love it." She shrugged. 

Which, when she first started working there, she wasn't quite 21 yet but Jake still hired her since she was almost of that age. She just wasn't allowed to serve alcohol so they only had her being in the runner position, which consisted of getting the dancers when needed or supplies from the storage room but once she turned 21, she began doing more in the dancing part.

"Well it's something I'd never picture you doing honestly." He shrugged as she got to the restrooms.

In school, despite being in the dance program, she was always the shy quiet girl but she wasn't that girl anymore, she grew up and had way more confidence now.

"Well things changed, I grew up." She smiled, "But I'll be right back out." She then walked into the restrooms.

Once she was done with her business, she washed her hands then walked out. 

"So, I remember last night you mentioned Lennox and something about our cousin Kyra, but why does your parents have custody of him now? I think I vaguely remember her, she was the girl that got pregnant when we were teens and came and lived with your parents isn't she?"

"Bingo." She nodded as they started walking back to the band's dressing room, "That's her little boy."

"Damn he's gotten so big."

"He has." She nodded, "But to answer the other question due to unfortunate circumstances, they had to take over custody. She uh, she had gotten a new boyfriend, who started abusing her and Lennox, so one night she finally had enough, killed him then she became distraught because of what she did, and killed herself. Thankfully Lennox wasn't there that night, he was with me."  

"Oh damn that sucks, but yeah thank goodness he didn't have to witness any of that happening, can't imagine what it would do to someone let alone a child to see that happening.

"Hey, there you are, the guys are on the stage waiting on you so they can do soundcheck." Jason Berry all of a sudden approached them and stated.

"Shit, is it that time already?" He looked at him then back at Charlotte "Sorry I've got to get out there, I'll see you in a bit okay?"
