Uncovering the Hatchet (Craig Mabbit x Reader x Ronnie Radke)

2: Breakup

(((A/N: Okay, so, the way this is going to work is kind of confusing. I'm going to try to make the story fit in with the actual events of the band, but it's not going to work too well. I'm going to kind of manipulate the timeline, so as to make it easier for me to write this. This is going to be in 2014 right now, but Craig is still going to be dating Mandy Murders, because reasons that I have. I hope this makes it all a little easier to understand.)))

A year later....

You walked into the studio quietly with Robert as close to you as he could possibly be right now. The only people in the studio right now were Craig, Mandy, and a member from your band, Ronnie Jackson. Not to be confused with Ronnie Radke, as she hated him with a passion as of yesterday.

"(Name)!!!" Ronnie yelled as she ran to you and Robert, but not without pushing through Craig and Mandy in the most care-free way known to mankind. She took a hold of yours' and Rob's arms and dragged you to where you wrote songs.

"Oh my gosh, (name), tell me all about it honey!" The black-haired woman hugged you as you started sobbing in her arms, your (hair color) hair in a mess and your arms wrapped around her tightly.

"I just... I told him *hiccup* that I was going to TJ's house this *hiccup* Thursday, and he started yelling *hiccup* at me, and then he- he-" You started sobbing harder and Ronnie's grey tee was stained by your black and blue eye makeup.

"What'd he do, (name)?" Rob asked from behind you as he rested a hand on your back.

(((I don't wanna do this I'm sorry Ronnie I love you please don't hate me))) "He- he slapped me..." You hid your face in Ronnie's shoulder as she tried to pull you away from herself, but you were stubborn.

"(Name), sweetie, let us see your face..." Ronnie somehow pulled your face away, and not seeing anything, asked Rob for a glass of water.

"Here, I'll do it. I have sleeves." Rob pulled his sleeve down a bit and dipped it in the glass, rubbing it gently on your cheeks. Your right cheek was a little swollen and very red, with a small scratch.

"How'd the scratch get there?" Rob asked as he held your face in his hands.

"He was wearing a ring..." You tried to pull your face away from him, and he reluctantly let go.

"That god damn bastard... I'm ashamed to have the same name as him." Ronnie had a fire in her eyes as she looked at your face, happy that at least it wasn't worse.

"Are you guys okay in there?" You heard Craig yell from behind the door, causing you to flinch as he and both Ronnies weren't on the best terms.

"Go away, Craig!" Robert yelled, which surprised you as he almost never yelled, even if necessary.

"The fuck are you guys doing to the poor girl?" You heard Mandy yell, which pushed you over the edge.

"They're not whoring around like you are, that's for sure!" You didn't like Mandy much anyways, and her attempt to be funny wasn't really helping.

"The fuck crawled up your ass and died?" She yelled back, pissing you of even more.

"Your looks and relevance!" You heard Rob mutter "Cat fight" as Ronnie let go of you and full on pushed the couple back over to ETF's side of the studio.

"AND STAY THERE!" You heard her yell as Mandy started crying a little, and you started sobbing again and latched onto Rob.

"Don't worry, (name), they won't last much longer anyway." Robert held you closer and rubbed your back,  silently asking Ronnie to shut the door.

"Listen, hon, there are better men in this world. And don't worry, I'll tell Ronnie you two are over. I'm sure he'll get it. If he doesn't, I'll help." Ronnie turned your head to look at her, and smiled. "Now, how about we fix your makeup?"
