Sound Of Madness (a Ronnie Radke fanfiction) •EDITING**

you're not in california anymore

"two California teens disappeared on Monday September tenth four weeks ago..., if you have any details or information as to the disappearance call this hotline...''

I looked at the wall of TV's at target and tears started to come to my eyes. Ronnie probably looks terrible right now and it's my fault. I have to do something, to at least make them stop worrying.

"Jacky can I text Ronnie?"

"no"

"but why not?"

"they might figure out where you are"

"well I want ice cream!"

"we cant waste money on ice cream"

"how much money do we have?"

"like twenty dollars"

I laughed "we have a lot more than that, I didn't tell you that I have money too until we'd  needed it"

"HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU HAVE?!"

"like two grand" he gasped.

"NO ice cream, we are eating real food"

"I guess that's fair"

"yogurt, those tiny boxes of cereal and a half quart of milk, juice, fruit , sandwiches, water!"

"on ward!" I yelled and ran to the isles of food.

I picked up all the thing that we could carry and didn't have to keep cold or heat up (except for the tiny milk) to eat and paid for them, the cashier gave us a weird look but bagged our food. Jacky paid and we walked out of the store back to the motel. the nice thing about this really cheap motel is roaches come free with every room! (note the sarcasm)

we ate our cereal then checked out of the room. we still have a ways to go to Kansas city, like 23.5 miles away.

"hey Rey there is a bus coming in fifteen minutes, it's going to Kansas city!"

"and another in twenty minutes going to Smithville Missouri"

"that's a place?"

"yah look" I said pointing to the bus chart.

"KCK not Smithville"

"I know, and we can find a guitar and make some money in Kansas city too"

"well do you want to take the bus?"

"hell yah , that means we don't have to walk"

"okay well it will be here in five minutes"

"we were arguing for ten minutes?"

"apparently"

the bus arrived and we gave the person the money and sat in the very back. I sat down in a window seat and Jacky sat next to me. I stared out the window at the cloudy fall October day in Kansas as the bus started to move. I put my headphones in and listen to "diamond eyes" by shinedown, a perfect song for this. I looked at Jacky and he was  staring blankly at the front of the bus. I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes, he wrapped his arm around me. I slept the whole way there with my headphones in and woke up to Jacky gently shaking me and "have faith in me" by a day to remember playing in my ears. I stood up, grabbed my bag and followed Jacky off the bus.

I took my headphones out and turned off my iPod to save the battery. "where do we go now?"

"music shop" I nodded my head and we walked down the street. I saw the tall buildings and all the architecture this truly is a marvelous city , I smelled the exhaust and smoke and saw the Kansas city ballet school. I just looked all around me.
