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

3: Rough Times

You walked into the studio the next day, trying to act fine. You were chatting with TJ, who you hold told everything that happened. It was two days after the incident, and you had managed to act like your normal self again, even you weren't feeling too well. You were actually having a decent day, until you saw Craig. He looked at you and glared, making confusion clear on your face and anger even clearer on TJ's.

"Fuck off, Craig! She doesn't need your baby mama drama!" You could swear TJ was breathing fire as he said that, and it was terrifying as he's easily only second to you in kindness in this studio.

Rob and Ronnie ran in from your half of the studio and dragged you and TJ into the recording part of the studio.

Ronnie shut the door quickly, turned to look at you with her long hair flying every which way, and said "Don't so much as look at Craig for a while. He's been being an ass, and we're guessing he's having drama with Mandy and blaming it on us 4."

"What kind of sense does that make?" You were clearly pissed, as Craig was usually understanding and sensible. You looked out the clear window to see him glaring at you through the same window. Tears gathered on your eyes, as he was practically your brother.

Rob quickly noticed your expression, and pulled you into a hug. You quickly escaped his grasp and ran out the door to Craig, attempting to find the problem.

"Craig... What's wrong?" You tried to be as gentle as possible, but it was really hard to when your usually sassy and don't take shit from anyone.

His glare became deadly, making a few tears escape your eyes. "YOU! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU DID TO MANDY! JUST FUCK OFF AND NEVER COME BACK!"

You covered your mouth, your eyes showing all the hurt you've been hiding from him since Ronnie Radke slapped you, and bolted out the door.

"CRAIG MABBIT! WHY ARE YOU SUCH AN ASSHOLE TODAY! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SHE'S GOING THROUGH!" Rob was beyond pissed, and TJ and Ronnie were holding each other back from attacking Craig.

Craig didn't redeem himself at all, instead unknowingly digging the dagger of hate digger into his stomach. "It's not like she didn't deserve it."

This put everyone over the edge. TJ called the rest of the band and said "those for kicking Craig out of the band say I." There was a chorus of I's, as they all heard the anger in TJ's voice. "Get out. And never come back. If you so much as talk to (name), you better watch your back."

Craig left the studio, but not without flipping them all off.

"He doesn't know what he just got himself into." Ronnie said, her blue eyes showing her rage.

So in case you guys can't tell, I'm saying fuck it and I'm leaving the band timeline behind. I don't have that much skill as a writer, and it'd be hard to do even if I did, cause I'd have to manipulate the story so much. Anyway, sorry for not updating in so long. I've been having a bit of a rough time lately, but I don't need to bother ya'll with that, so see ya next chapter! P.s, if you wanna make a cover for this, go ahead, cause I sure as hell ain't doing it. Just send it to me when it's finished, and I'll see if I like it.
