Tragic Magic

Chapter Fifteen

"Alright Juliet, we just need you to sit here and react when Ronnie get out of bed," the director tells me.

"Ryan, you lied to me!" I growl and drag myself into the stage set bed.

It was our first day on set for their music video and I already have to get into bed with Ronnie, what the hell?

This past week has been amazing up until now. After being with Craig, I've realized I don't need Ronnie as much as I thought I did. Being able to look at him and not break down into tears is nice. I still feel sadness, but it's just the past playing with me. I'm happy with Craig.

Ronnie lays next to me and winks. I just give him a dirty look.

"Alright, Ronnie, get up and throw on your jacket. When he gets up, sit up in bed and watch him, okay Juliet?" The director calls out. We do that little bit up until the director calls out more actions.

"Now jump out that little window over there, Ronnie. Don't worry, it's not real." After he jumps, the scene is stopped.

"Great!" The director says, "Now to the next scene."

I go over to Ryan and Derek standing in the corner. "What the hell, guys? You totally lied about this!"

"Yeah,  but we really need you!" Ryan pleads.

"I didn't say I was leaving, I'm just not happy playing the part of Ronnie Radke's girlfriend."

"Well you were Ronnie Radke's girlfriend a week ago," Derek interrupts.

I roll my eyes, "I'll just try and get through these next two weeks."

We wait for Ronnie to finish the next few scenes alone before the rest of the band or I go on.

"Alright, Lunch break!" The director calls out after a few hours have passed.

"Come to lunch with us, Julie? I'll buy," Jacky asks.

"Alright, but Ronnie needs to sit on the other side of the table," I follow the band out to the parking lot of the studio.

"Need a ride?" Ronnie laughs, playing with the keys to my old car.

"No," I smirk, getting onto the motorcycle.

Yes, I finally figured out how to drive it without killing anyone. I knew Craig wouldn't let me drive his car again, so I figured this would be pretty fun until the winter months.

"Dude, where did you get that?" Jacky asks as the entire band admires it.

"It's actually my boyfriends," I glare over at Ronnie. "So, where to?"

"Boyfriend!?" They all shout at once.

"Yes," I laugh, "Now where am I going?"

"I want a ride!" Derek jumps on the back. I give him a look and just shrug it off.

"Applebee's?" Jacky asks. "This conversation isn't over though."

"Fine by me," I drive away before the questions begin.

The drive there is pretty long, so I just sit back and cruise, ignoring Derek's questions. I stop at an intersection and wait for the light to change. A familiar car pulls up beside me.

"Jewels!" Brad yells out the window.

"Oh my god, Brad! How have you been?" I laugh and shout back.

"Great! I miss you though! We need to get together soon okay?"

"Definitely, Brad! I'll call you, alright?"
