Do or Die | A Slipknot story

chapter three

"Whatcha playing now?" Paul inquired as he entered my room, closing the door. I was currently sat on my hanging bed, playing Skyrim on my laptop. My bed was hanging from poles in the ceiling, but was also attached to my back wall. It was actually pretty cool.

"Skyrim" I replied, pausing the game to look up at him. "What about you, friend?"

"Just coming to pass on some information to my favorite niece" he laughed. Yeah, I was basically a niece to all of my dads band members, them being close and all.

"Awh. Well, I'm glad my favorite uncle came to pass the info" I giggled. Hopping down from my bed, I walked over to give Paul a hug before going to unplug my phone as he began to speak.

"Well, we are planning to go to the studio, and your dad wants to know whether you're staying here or going" he explained. I sighed and turned around after locking my phone.

"If I stay here, do I actually have to be here?"

"Yes"

I sighed at his reply.

"I'll go then"

"Alright. We'll leave at maybe 2:00, so you can just hang for awhile unil we leave"

"Okay. Thanks" I smiled.

"Welcome"

I checked the time on my phone. 9:45. That left me plenty of time to do whatever I want. Instead of staying in my room, I decided to go down stairs and interact with everybody. I turned the corner to enter the kitchen, and found my dad and Stephanie sitting at the kitchen island.

"Hey" I yawned. They looked up at me and smiled.

"Mornin'" they replied. I was busy looking for a bottle of water I didn't notice a presence behind me until I was lifted into the air and taken from the kitchen. The air was knocked out of my lungs when I was dropped onto somebody's lap. My eyes opened from their closed state to see I was dropped on top of Jim by Sid.

"Jerk" I mumbled.

"You love me anyway" he sung. I shook my head and got off of Jim.

"No"

"Now that is being a jerk" he replied. Jim laughed at us bickering.

"No. You're the jerk. I'm the innocent one"

"Ha! Very funny, kid" he laughed. My bad behavior was pretty well known.

"Jerk" I muttered. Chris then entered the room and flopped onto the same couch Jim was on but on the opposite side.

"Should we make popcorn?" He asked Jim. Sid and I somehow ended up in positions where it looked like we were about to fight, so we carried on with it.

"Pokes or punches?" I asked Sid who laughed.

"I don't wanna hurt you, so pokes" came his reply. I laughed loudly, attracting the other guys and Stephanie to enter the living room and chuckle at me and Sid.

"Buddy, you wouldn't hurt me if you tried"

"You sure?" He challenged.

"Dead serious"

He smirked and attempted to throw a soft punch in my direction, but failed as I ducked and punched him in the leg, causing him to lose focus. I took the opportunity to jump on him and tackle him to the ground where I simply sat on him and smiled at the eight other men who laughed at us.

"Victory!" I sang while looking down at Sid. "What's my reward?"

"You can drive us to dinner today" my dad said. It amazed me how much we actually spoke now.

"Awesome answer" I grinned and pointed to him.

"Okay could you get off of me?" Sid groaned.

"Not with that attitude" I sarcastically replied with a laugh from the other guys. "Ooh, what's dinner?"

"Whatever our guest decides" Shawn replied. I look around the room in confusion.

"Who's our guest?"

"Wait and see" my dad laughed.

"I kinda thought you were about to tell me to wait and bleed, but okay whatever" the guys all burst into laughter at my comment. "What's the time?"

"10:15" Craig replied. "We go to the studio at 2:00"

"Alright" I sang. "You need to stop talking so much, man. Like geez"

I giggled while he laughed.

"Now can you get off of me?" Sid once again groaned.

"Am I that fat?" I inquired with a fake hurt expression. "Harsh"

"No. I'd just like to get up"

"Well since you said it like that" I responded before standing and helping him up. I walked over to the coffee table and collected my mini iPad before settling into our black leather recliner. The guys engaged into a conversation about our summer plans while I scrolled through social media. I read through all of the harsh comments, and the polite ones. The harsh ones I kinda ignored. I read them but didn't let them get to me.

We probably sat there for about an hour and a half, just talking. By then I decided to get ready for the day, along with everybody else. Rushing up to my room, I got some clothes and got into the shower.

My shower actually lasted about an hour. I decided to take my time instead of rushing. After blow drying and straightening my hair, I put on my black shorts and my Pantera hoodie before doing my makeup.

My phone was fully charged, so I grabbed it, my wallet, and my earbuds before slipping on my ankle converse and heading downstairs. Everybody but of course Sid was ready. Nobody was aware of my presence, so I decided to give Mick a scare. I ran and full out flipped onto his back, almost causing him to fall over. I laughed at his scared face.

"Sorry. Had to"

"Mhm I'm sure you did" he rolled his eyes in a playful way.

"Sid!" My dad yelled upstairs.

"Alright I'm coming! Take a chill pill!"

Once Sid finally came downstairs, we all piled into the car, with my dad driving, Stephanie with him, me in between Jim and Chris, and the others in the very back. The drive to the studio only lasted about a half hour, but the whole time, I was both ruining my ears, and giving everyone something to listen to by blasting My Chemical Romance.

When we arrived, I joyfully hopped into the studio, excited to hear some of the songs they have already completed.
