I woke up the next morning and it was safe to say that I had never been happier. I looked at the time, we had two hours to get up and get sorted... And no, we weren't going on a honeymoon, we were off on tour. I rolled over and looked at Ronnie - surprise surprise he was fast asleep. I decided the easiest way to wake him was to shove him so he rolled off the edge of the bed. He hit the floor with a thud.
"Jaaaaaade, what was that for?" He sat back on the bed and pouted.
"I knew it would be the only way to get you out of bed. We only have two ours until we need to leave." He rolled his eyes at me.
"Two hours is loads of time. We could literally get up five minutes before leaving and it wouldn't matter. Even if we slept in the guys would wait for us. They can't exactly do a gig without the lead man could they?"
"Oh I think they could. I reckon Jake could do a pretty good job at filling your shoes." Ronnie pouted and turned over in a huff. "Ronald Joseph Radke, if you could refrain from throwing a tantrum that would be wonderful."I heard him giggle to himself.
"I'm not throwing a tantrum. I just wanted to surprise you!" Before I knew it I got slapped across the face with a pillow, as Ronnie started to laugh like a child.
"I swear you are still seven at heart." He pouted before rolling back over and pulling me into him for a hug.
"You know I only do stupid shit like this because it makes you laugh. And when you're happy I'm happy." I couldn't help but smile, after being together all this time, Ronnie was still really sweet.
Before I knew it I was snapped out of my thoughts by Ronnie kissing me. I swear, I still didn't understand how I had actually found someone so amazing. I never expected to even get Jake to meet Falling In Reverse back when he was seven, nevermind ending up married to the lead singer eleven years down the line. Suddenly I felt Ronnie's hand on my ass and pulled away from the kiss.
"Don't start Ronnie. We don't have time. We need to actually get up and get ready." He pouted.
"But baaaaabe, it'll be super awkward on the bus." I rolled my eyes. I knew he'd play that card.
"I don't care. And it's not going to be that awkward on the bus. It never is." Ronnie continued to pout but I shook my head. "If you're going to be pouty then go back to bed for ten minutes, I'm going downstairs to get coffee and make sure the house is clean before we leave."
With that, I made my way downstairs.

I was stood in the kitchen drinking my coffee and looking at the time. 10:45 - Ronnie had fifteen minutes to get up and get dressed. I was contemplating going and waking him up when there was a knock at the door. I went and opened it to reveal Jake with a girl. I raised an eyebrow at him as he made his way inside.
"Mom can I ask you a giant favour?" I raised my eyebrow even further. "Can my girlfriend come on tour with us? Pretty please, I promise we wont have sex on the bus or anything." I rolled my eyes.
"Jacob Radke, you should know that I am not bothered about you having sex at all. You're 18 for fuck's sake. Just be safe and I don't care." I saw him smile.
"Thank's mom, anyway, this is Millie. I've known her for a while now and would have invited her to the wedding I just didn't think it would be appropriate."
"You looked beautiful yesterday though," Millie spoke up. "Jake showed me some photos and it looked perfect." I couldn't help but smile. "I'd love to have a wedding like that one day."
"Who's trying to upstage my wedding?" I rolled my eyes as I turned to see Ronnie - fully dressed and ready to go - I was shocked. "Don't look at me like that, I am capable of getting out of bed, and without being rude who's this?"
"This is Jake's girlfriend Millie, she's coming on tour with us." Ronnie nodded.
"Awesome, she can keep you occupied at merch." Just as Ronnie finished his sentence, the bus pulled up outside. "Well, let's go!"
We all helped to move our things onto the bus, including the dogs, before Ronnie locked the door and we all boarded the bus. Jake introduced his new girlfriend to the guys and myself, and I had to say that she seemed really lovely. I don't think I could think of a bad thing about her.
She kind of reminded me of myself when I was her age, around the time I met FIR, and she seemed to make Jake so happy, and as long as Jake was happy then so was I. Suddenly I heard Jingo bark so decided to go and see what was up.
It turned out the two dogs were just jumping around and playing. I sat down and petted them for a while before seeing the face of my beautiful husband in the doorway. He shut the door before sitting down beside me and putting his arm around me.
"I swear, Jake seems so happy with Millie, and she seems lovely. I'm so happy for him." Ronnie smiled as he spoke.
"So am I, I just wish he'd introduced us to her sooner than now." I sighed at the end of my sentence.
"I do too, but we can't help that. Plus at least in an environment like this where it can be stressful you do see the true colours of the people you're with, so we'll know by the end of tour if she's a secret nutter."
We just kinda sat in silence for while and it was so nice. I really did love every minute that I spent with Ronnie. Suddenly I was snapped out of thinking by feeling his lips on my own. This was by far the best decision I ever made in my life.
