I stood in front of the camera as it took photos of me.
Just as the photoshoot had almost ended, we had visitors.
"Hey Colette take a break. We don't usually have guests." My manager Sara said.
Hmm. I wonder who it is.
And is it that important??
I kind of sort of maybe need to
Continue touring so I can go home
After 6 damn months.
Yes, I enjoy every moment of my career, I just miss everyone at home.
"Hey Colette! Come 'er for a sec? You have guests!"
Who?? And then I stood half naked in front of a famous face.
"Uh, hey. We were kind of wondering if you would feature in our song 'Hold On Till May'? Just a small snippet, towards the end of the song. We kind of really hoped you could do this job." He stared at my boobs.
I snapped.
"Uh. My eyes are here? Excuse me?"
I asked him.
"Oh. Uh yea? I mean, sorry. I'm so tired. The boys made me go out last night." He explained.
"Aha my crew went out drinking too.
Anyway, yea sure. I'll Facebook you, okay?"
"Alright, Colette." He smiled.
"Bye, Vic!" I waved.
Interesting how Pierce The Veil wanted me featuring in their new song. This better be a good fucking song. My parents are starting to give up on rock bands.
"Hey! Colette! Let's wrap this up, shall we?" Sara asked wiping the sweat off her four head.
"Yes! It's about time! I'm hungry!" I smiled cheekily.
Posing I'm front of the camera,
Thoughts ran through my mind.
Why did they want me?
Why was I even here?
I never understood that.
"Okay! Go get dressed Cole, see you inside the RV."
"Kay."
Walking into the dressing room, I stared into the mirror.
Damn, I should really get rid of my fat thighs. And my fat stomach. And my hanging chin. And fat fingers.
I'm ugly.
Putting on my Brandy Melville boots on, even though it was like a thousand degrees out there, I walked outside.
"See yall! Take it easy, Dave!" I shouted at the janitor. Man I feel bad for that poor man. He's nothing but an old sweetheart.
"Hey guys. Miss me?" I chuckled.
"Yea baby we all missed you." Leigh giggled.
"We got you some food, love. Oh, and your boyfriend called!" Dani said excitedly.
"Aha. Alright, alright. I'll call him, ok? Just calm down, jeez. Start the RV, Ed!" I shouted at our driver, Ed.
Walking into the kitchen, I find chicken. My spine tingles. I haven't eaten chicken in a while; I don't like chicken....
I don't like myself.
"Hey babe. How's my sexy girlfriend?;)" Josh texted.
"Thanks bby I'm doing good. Aha Xx"
"Good. Hey, I'm gonna go out with the boys, ok? Enjoy tour baby. Skype later?"
"Sorry, can't. I've got an interview and I must go to sleep as soon as it's over. Tomorrow's a big day Xx"
"Aww ok bbe ilysm ok :-)"
"Bye babe Xx"
Josh was my boyfriend of four months.
When we first started dating, it was pure love. But ever since I left, nothing's been the same. He goes out drinking with the guys all the time. I know there's someone else, the press has totally helped me out with figuring that out. Ehh. I don't love that kid anyway. Sara says we just have to date until tour ends. Supposedly, it gives me more fame? I don't know how..
I go on facebook.
"Hey Vic. It's Colette Xx" I IM'd Vic.
"Hey Colette. So the boys want us to rehearse the song tomorrow at Def Jam Studio? We can get a coffee maybe before,too? :)"
"Alright, seems like a plan Vic. Xx"
"Ok. Oh, would you and the girls like to come and join our little camp out by a lake in San Juan?"
"Sure! I know which one. See you at about 6-ish. Xx"
"Cya!"
I put my phone on charge and took a quick shower.
As soon as I get out, I put on my Hollister shorts with a Delia's tank and some Nike's.
"Hey, Ed! Do me a favor and take us to the lake? We're camping with Pierce The Veil tonight!"
"Oh, ok!" He smiled, looking at me in the rear view mirror.
"Dani? Leigh? Get your bikinis n shit on, I think you guys are gonna be having the time of your lives tonight.. If you know what I mean" ;) I winked at the girls.
"Colette you know Tony has a girl."
"Yea. And so does Jaime. So what's the point?"
I sighed. They were right.. They were all taken except for Vic. But Vic?
He's mine.
I mean, single.
"Girls! Get down! We're here!"
A sudden rush of adrenaline rushed through me.
I can't wait to sit by the fire...
And get in the water!
And get totally wasted!
Getting off the bus, I was greeted by Mike and Tony, who by the way were pretty tipsy.
I shook my had chuckling at the sight of their lazy eye. Damn, I never knew they get like that.
"Hey, do those boys get like that when they're intoxicated?" I asked Vic.
Taking off his shirt, he laughs. "Yes, all the time. Tony's' the worst. Mike is just usually all about the cans of whiskey. Whiskey and smoking and drums and tattoos and he's good."
Interesting how his lifestyle is...
"Oh. Hey you wanna walk down to the water? I don't wanna go down alone."
"Oh ok! So....how is Josh?"
I forgot that I had announced to the world that me and Josh are a thing.
"Oh, yea, him? He's doing okay, I guess."
"You don't seem so amused." He said raising his eyebrows.
"To be honest, I'm not. All he does is get drunk nowadays. I don't love him, but Sara, my manager, tells me I only need to date him until the end of tour."
"Oh. I suggest that you break it off. Who gives a fuck if Sara wants fame?
Josh ain't the right one, just dump him."
It's lovely how he thinks.
"And date you......" I mumbled.
"What?" He raised his head looking at me.
"Oh, nothing."
"Oh, okay."
That was close, Colette.
