Tragic Magic

Chapter Fourteen

"Juliet!" Craig comes running in, overly excited, "Juliet! Oh my god, how did I not see it before?"

"See what?" I interrupt him.

"That song, what is it called? You know, 'sitting in this room playing Russian Roulette?' That song!"

"Not Good Enough For Truth In Cliche?" He's so adorable when he's confuse, I should've let him guess.

"Yes! You're Juliet!" He laughs.

"Why yes, and you're Craig. Are we done here?" I get up off the couch and walk into the kitchen to get a drink.

"No, you know what I mean," he follows me into the kitchen, "You're Juliet?"

"He really did crash his car through my window," I shake my head and laugh.

"How did I miss it all this time? I feel so stupid right now."

"Nah, you're just cute. How was the recording session?" I ask, finally getting myself a drink.

"Long, but it was alright. I'm pretty stoked about some of these songs though." He takes my drink, "Oh, thank you Juliet," he says sarcastically.

I just pour myself another, "Gosh, you're so mean to me."

"No, I'm just cute," he winks. "So how was hanging out at my house all day?"

"I got a call from Ryan earlier. He wants me to be in a music video for Falling In Reverse for some odd reason," I shrug.

"You've probably told me this a million times, but who's Ryan?" He laughs.

"Oh, I never told you about any of them. You really don't know anything that's happened since Ronnie's been out. He's the drummer in Ronnie's band," I laugh with him.

"Okay, thanks for explaining. That sounds like a great thing, honestly. I mean, you're an excellent actress and music video's are always a lot of fun." He doesn't have a problem with it?

"Yeah, but I really don't want to see Ronnie," I set my drink down on the island and stare at it.

"Don't let him get in the way. Just have fun with it and he will just blend in with the background. Do you know what song it's for?" Why is he allowing me to be around Ronnie? At least he's not clingy about it.

"Something called, 'The Drug In Me Is You,' which sounds pretty stupid if you ask me. They haven't released the song yet, so I haven't heard it," I roll my eyes.

"I wonder if you're the drug," he teases.

"Totally," I roll my eyes and glare at him.

"So, did you want to go on tour with us?" Craig asks casually.

"What?" I stare at him.

"Did you want to go on tour with us?" He repeats. "Staring isn't nice, sweetheart."

I laugh, "When you're staring at a pretty face, it is." I look down at my glass, "I don't know, I don't want to get in the way."

"Well, I don't know how I could go that long without you. I'd kill myself."

Why are those words ringing through my thoughts? 'I'd kill myself..' Would you really though? I didn't think he actually cared that much to kill himself over me. Or is he just being dramatic so I'll go with him? I think I would be the one to kill myself without him. He's done so much for me in just three days. It feels like it's been three months though. Time means nothing when I'm with him.

"Juliet?" He waves his hand in front of my face.

I snap back into reality, "Sorry, what?"

"Please go on tour with me," He pulls me into his arms.

"When is it?" I ask, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Next month and then we have Warped Tour right after. So between the two, I wouldn't see you much." He's really good at manipulating.

"Well in that case, I have to go. I can't be without you for that long."

"Sweet!" He smiles at me. "Pack your bags, we're going to England in a few weeks," he runs out of the kitchen.

"Wait, England?" I stand there.

Craig stops in the doorway, "Yes, is that a problem?"

"It's just kinda far," I look down at my shoes.

"It'll be fun, baby, I promise," he walks back to me. "And I'll be there with you the entire time," he pulls me back to him and kisses me.

I still feel like I'll just be a pain the entire time. I doubt he even talked to the other band members about it. I just need to stop stressing over everything and have fun. I've got nothing better to do and Craig is my life now.
