There were an infinite amount of people coming and going to this Reading Festival since early in the morning. Most of the bands performing here were British acts, such as MUSE, Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, Radiohead and so on. American bands like Avenged Sevenfold, My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy only performed a couple of songs as guests. Then they will have a few of interview sessions after that.
Michelle had always been a sucker for British rock bands so she was starstrucked. She basically shook everyone’s hands backstage. She met all the guys from MUSE, Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead and Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys. She took pictures with every one of them, and of course she persuaded Tona to be the photographer.
Tona didn’t mind at all, she liked being friends with the girlfriends of Avenged Sevenfold’s members. Considering she was one of them too.
“For God’s sake Michelle, get a hold of yourself! You’re the girlfriend of Synyster fucking Gates, the God of guitar. Why are you so jumpy around all of these?” Valerie complained, pointing to random British bands that walked pass them holding their instruments.
“Excuse me for being a fan girl. But didn’t you used to be the same with Matt? Oooh, M. Shadows is so fucking hot.. I want to grab his ass, I want to kiss him..oohh..” she mocked Valerie and even made an impression of her. Tona and Leana laughed. Valerie pouted and locked her arms across her chest.
“At least I got what I wanted.” She stuck a tongue at her sister and ignored her mockings.
“You guys are not like any other twins I’ve known.” Tona commented while casually snapping a picture of them fighting.
“We’re twins but we’re not twins. Get it?”
“Nn-no I don’t.”
Michelle opened her mouth to protest what her sister said before but was cut off when Matthew came from behind.
“Enjoying yourselves, ladies?”
“Totally, Matt. Especially Michelle.”
“Oh yeah, you told me before that you love British bands right? Any chance for American bands in your heart?” Matthew smiled sweetly at her, his dimple showing.
“Only your band, Matt.”
“Figured. Come and meet the guys backstage. I wanna introduce them to my fiancée over here.” He said while putting his large muscular arms around Valerie.
“The guys? Which guys?” Michelle asked while walking forward, following him from behind.
“The guys who will be touring with us later. My Chemical Romance.”
Michelle froze in her steps. Her mouth dropped, she was blank right there. She saw Leana who was holding Zoey stopped walking too. Valerie glanced at her but she was dragged along by Matthew so she couldn’t turn back.
“Hey, Chelle. You okay?”
Despite the loud music on stage right now, she can hear her soft voice clearly.
“I don’t wanna see him.”
Leana walked over to her slowly. Her hands holding Zoey’s head and patted behind her.
“Then don’t see him. Just ignore him. He might not remember you.”
Michelle looked into her eyes. “We’ve dated for three years, Lea. Three fucking years. How can he not remember me?”
“I don’t know, but for some reason I think you shouldn’t be worried. You have Brian now. He’s amazing and he’s great to you. You have nothing to be afraid of.”
