I am not in love with Ronnie Radke

Monday

Monday

It's 10:22 in the morning and I had just woken up. I rolled out of bed and went downstairs only to find a note left for me on the table "I'm staying over at Brents house tonight, sorry I didn't get to see you earlier. We had somewhere to be -love mom." it read. My father died six years ago and Brent was my moms current boyfriend. She was always with him and it seemed like she never had time for me. But that's alright because I really don't mind being alone. I went upstairs and turned on a hot shower and slipped in. I thought about what tonight was going to be like. What if Ronnie really isn't as mean as I hear? What if he is worse? I got out of the shower and pulled on some skinny jeans and a simple black t-shirt. I blew dry my hair, straightened it, and threw on some makeup. I made sure my camera was in its bag along with all the lenses I would need and it was ready to go. The time was now 1:07. The venue was about half an hour away and the show started at 6 but I decided I'd leave early because I had nothing else to do. I brought my backpack along hoping I could find some downtime to get some studying in. When I pulled up to the venue there were already about 50 teenage girls standing outside, waiting so that they could get in first. I showed my press pass to the people at the door so that I would get let in first. I walked in and looked around. Right in front of me there was a small restaurant, and a small stage. To my right there was a large staircase that led into the room where the concert would be held, and to my left, a hallway that had a few guys just sitting along the wall. I suspected they were the merch guys. I decided I'd go check out the stage and see what I'd be dealing with later on. I went up the stairs only to find that the doors were shut. I set my bag down and just sat outside the door, not even caring to see if it was unlocked. I unzipped my backpack and pulled out my notes for my bio final and studdied for about 15 minutes before the door that was between me and the room was opened by a tall blonde man who had spiked up hair and was wearing skinny jeans and a leather jacket. I suspected he was in the band. "oh, uh... sorry" he said in a british accent. "oh no problem! I'm guessing you're in Falling in reverse? My name is Clara, I'll be taking pictures of you tonight." I said, after standing up. "Hi. My names Jacky, uh, Jacky Vincent" He said quietly. "Watcha up to?" He asked me. "oh just studying for bio. I have finals this week. Kinda boring, really." I said, trying to act happy that I was there. "Well, Clara" He said. "how would you like to come get lunch with us?" Jacky asked. I sighed and packed away my papers in my backpack. "sure, I don't see why not..." I said. He opened the door for me and when I walked in, I saw four other men with black hair, black clothing, leather, skinny jeans... I assumed they were the other members of the band. Jacky introduced me and they all laughed. "Jacky, you get a new girlfriend?" one hollered. "You said you were going to get us drinks and you bring back a girl?" another one said. The man I recognized as Ronnie just smiled at me. "Hey Clara, I'm Ronnie." he said, while stretching out his hand hoping for me to shake it. I just looked at him not knowing how to respond or what to do.
