My Vermilion

Chapter 6

*Next morning, Jenna's POV*

"Time to get up," Corey whispered. I looked over and he was peeking his head into my bunk. I groaned and turned towards the wall. "Don't make me tickle you," he threatened.

"I'm up, I'm-ow," I jolted up, forgetting I was in a bunk and hitting my head on the ceiling.

"You okay?" Corey asked, looking concerned. I nodded and slid out of my bunk. "We're at a truck stop if you want to get some snacks. We don't keep much food on the buses," he said as I follwed him to the front lounge. He turned around and said, "You might want some pants," before exiting the bus. I looked down and blushed a little, forgetting I had taken them off last night.

I walked back to my bunk and grabbed the pair of pants I had thrown in there, putting them back on. Thank god nobody was in the front lounge. Once I had pants on and combed through my hair with my fingers, I exited the bus.

"Glad to see you're awake," Jay greeted me and I smiled back. After we all got on the bus and we're satified with our breakfast, Corey went over the day sheet.

*After the show, on the bus*

Finally, the road to the last show. After this I get to stay with Corey. I don't how long I'll be there but I couldn't wait. I didn't even think I'd get to be here, on the tour bus with the band that means everything to me. I've had a lot of ups and down throughout my life and this, so far, was the best thing to ever happen.

I grew up in a small town in Michigan. I lived in a good house hold. My parents are still married, we weren't poor by any means and I wasn't bullied in school. I defiantly didn't fit in, but I wasn't bullied for it. Everyone kept to themselves and left eachother alone. Minus the few girls who fought over things that I didn't bother to get into. I was a pretty good teenager. I didn't do drugs or drink. I did stark smoking at 13 though. I used it as a way to cope with things. I was a cutter for 3 years but was able to stop before high school. My mom didn't necessarily support me smoking but she saw it as a better way to cope, so she would by me packs of cigarettes when I need one. I didn't take advantage of her as other kids would have. Once I could drive I got a job so I could pay back my mom, although she said I didn't need to. Once I was 18 I was able to buy my own cigs and it's been part of my ever since. I moved out to Des Moines when I was 24 and have been living here for 5 years.

My first Slipknot show was in 2001, it was my dad's idea to go and I've been hooked on them since. I met them for the first time in 2006 and that's when I met Corey. I already new he was a cool guy but I felt a connection between us. I only got to talk to him a little bit, but I had prepared a letter to give to him. He wasn't able to read it right then but I'm sure he did later on.

A/N: First note in this story, YAY! I'm not going to put as many of these in this story as I have in past ones. Sorry if this is chapter is a little boring, I wanted to introduce you to the main character a bit more so you know her past and stuff. I'm on spring break right now in Florida so I don't have much time to write right now so it will be a day or 2 until the next update. Please let me know what you think, it encourages me to write more :3
