Front of the Crowd (sequel to backstage session) MachineGunKelly

chapter 6

I laid in my bed and took pictures of my ceiling with my camera. This thing was so old the pictures weren't coming out the way they used to. I messed around the flash and ended up taking a picture of my face blinding me. I put the camera down and groaned as I rubbed my eyes, now seeing black dots.

"Luna"? I heard.

"Come in". I said and pinched the bridge of my nose.

"What happened"? Alex laughed.

"Just blinded myself. Whats up"? I asked.

Alex walked over and sat on my bed as I sat up.

"I met someone and I want you to meet him". He blurted out.

I gave him a smile. "Awe Alex".

"Dont do that. I just want this one to work out Lulu. He wants to double date but I told him you didn't have one". He sighed.

I guess honestly is key right now.

"Can I tell you something"? I asked and he nodded.

"I think i know what it is". He smiled and grabbed his phone. It was a picture of Colson and I leaving the little mix photoshoot.

"I was going to tell you but I'm not sure what I'm even doing". I sighed.

"Lu, he was the love of your life. You can't just move on so quickly". He sighed and laid down.

I followed his actions and laid next to him.

"Aren't you floating in the same boat"? I asked.

"My break up was different. Nicholas cheated on me for months. Colson took one to many pills". He said.

"I was still heartbroken Alex. He lied to me".

"Well then we're both in the same rocky horror boat show".

We both laughed and he grabbed my hand. "Come on the date, bring Colson. I'm not going to lie, I miss that asshat". He chuckled.

"He'll probably say no". I sighed.

Alex got up off my bed and grabbed my phone as he put it to his ear.

"What are you doing"? I asked and got up to grab it but he ran around the room.

"Hey Kells. It's Alex". He said.

I tried to reach for the phone but he pushed me down and sat on top of me.

"Get off the phone". I hissed.

"Oh nothings wrong. I wanted to know what you were doing tonight around nine-ish"? Alex waved. I turned to look at the clock it was eight-fifteen.

I hit his arm and shook my head.

"Perfect. Wanna come out to dinner with Luna and I with my friend"? He asked and stuck his tounge out at me.

"You're a bitch". I said and smacked his arm away from my face.

"Great. I'll drive. Thanks man". He said and hung up the phone.

"I hate you". I said once he got off of me.

"Well playboy will be here in a bit. Get dressed". He chuckled and ran out of my room.

I laid there and groaned amd got up to find something to wear. Today just keeps getting worse. I made a fool of myself eariler and now when I go to dinner.

I grabbed the first thing I seen which was a black and white shirt and jeans. My hair would just have to stay wavey. Alex stood in my doorway as he held up two shirts.

"Which one"? He asked.

"Black definitely. We're going to match". I laughed.

He hated when someone matched his colors, so this is what he gets.

"Hey Al"? I asked and he turned back.

"What's this guys name"? I asked and took off my shirt.

"Nathan. I can't wait for you to meet him". He chuckled and ran back off to his room.

I sat back down and finished my makeup. Only twenty minutes left. I took a deep breathe and finally changed. When he walked back in he gave me his phone.

"Date night photo for Instagram". He smiled

We both stood infront of the mirror, taking one of me then of him. I thought we looked pretty good.

"Okay. Nate said he will meet us here. Colson is almost here. Oh God am I nervous". He said as we walked downstairs.

"Alex. Calm down. I'm freaking out on the inside at least". I said and walked to the kitchen.

"Take a shot with me". He begged.

I rolled my eyes as he grabbed two shot glasses then the titos vodka. Oh no not the titos. We both paused mid shot when the doorbell rang.

"Get that". I said and wiped my mouth.

"You get it". He panicked.

"One of us need to get it". I said.

"Its open"! He yelled and i rolled my eyes.

I looked up to see Colson. He was dressed in all black, his hair was styled up and he just looked amazing.

"Kells!" Alex smiled and walked over to him.

"Hey man". He smiled back and then walked to me.

He gave me a peck on the cheek as he grabbed the vodka bottle. "Pregame"? He laughed.

"He's nervous". I whispered.

Colson nodded and grabbed my shotglass, pouring one for himself and shot it back. Damn he's good at that.

"Okay I think I see him pulling up". Alex said as he ran over by Colson.

"Calm down my dude. It's just a date". Colson chuckled.

"The date of all dates". Alex said.

Nate knocked on the door and Alex turned to me. "Get that". He said and practically hid behind Colson.

"Its open". Colson and I yelled over.

When Nate walked in he wore a blue shirt and a simple pair of jeans. I'm happy we didn't dress up. I took another shot as Colson chuckled under his breath, taking the glass from me.

"Hi guys. I'm Nathan". The good looking man spoke.

"Hi Nathan. I'm Luna". I smiled and shook his hand. "This is Colson". I smiled and the guy froze.

"No way. You're Machine Gun Kelly". He smiled and turned to Alex. "Why didn't you tell me"? He asked and Alex shrugged.

I glanced over at Colson who seemed amused. He handed me the bottle nonchalantly and I took another swig. This is going to be a long night.

"Okay, let's go". I said and walked off.

"I grabbed us uber". Nate smiled and turned to Colson. "Can I get a picture"? He asked.

Colson gave him a nod and posed for the picture and then we made it outside. The Uber pulled up right then and I turned to Alex. "Dont have him do that all night". I sighed.

"I can't help it. Paparazzi will be doing it to". He whispered.

"I call window seat"! Alex then yelled and ran to the car.

Nate turned to me and smiled. "I can't believe you're dating again. I was totally team Colluna". He smiled and I stopped walking.

Colson laughed behind me and pushed me to the car.

"We had a fucking name"? He laughed.
