Ronnie Radke Love Story

Family

Ronnie's POV

At five, I get up and pack yesterday's clothes, and everything I brought, into the duffle bag. I go to the bed and scoop up the still sleeping Kitty, with one arm, because she weighs so little. With my free hand I pick up the bag.

When I get on the bus, the guys are already there, and the door is open. I get on, and Ryan is the first to greet me, thankfully being quiet about it, until he sees Kitty's thoroughly marked skin, and he gasps. Ron and Jacky come, and their reactions are the same. "She did this to herself? All of it?" Jacky asks with his British accent. "Yes, and no. She move the blade, and flicked the lighter, but she never fucked up her own life, or her head," I say. The guys stare at me, then nod somberly. They move and let me take Kitty to my room. I lay her down on the bed, and finally she stirs. "Ronnieee" she mumbles my name. I sit next to her and whisper in her ear, "Shh, I'm here baby, we're on the bus, everything ok." Kitty settles back into sleep.

Joining the guys, I flop into the couch. "She alright?" Ron asks, I nod, "She's good for now, but I'm worried about when she wakes up, she seemed scared when Jacky came around, so I'm not sure what'll happen now that she's got all of you here," I reply. "We'll see, but for now, lets all go to our respective bunks, and sleep." Ryan speaks, as he heads to his bunk, the others follow, and then I head back to my room. Slipping into the bed next to Kitty. As soon as I'm settle, Kitty moves in her sleep, cuddling up to me. She's so cute, I wonder if she knows it?

Kitty's POV

When I wake up, I'm laying on top of Ronnie. His eyes are closed, but he's humming, so he must be awake. I give a small yawn. Ronnie's eyes snap open, "Hey, how are you?" He asks. I half smile, "I'm ok, what about you?"

"Good. How do you feel about seeing everyone?" Ronnie asks me, sounding nervous. "Just let me get dressed," I say, not wanting to disappoint him.

I go to where my my boxes are, in Ronnie's closet. I pull out red lace underwear and a matching bra, a pair of ripped skinnies, and a plain black tee shirt. "I'll get out so you can change," Ronnie says, quickly getting out. Smirking, I change clothes and put away what I had been wearing, and head out. I get to the front section of the bus, and freeze, they're all fading at me, I look to Ronnie, pleading.

Ronnie's POV

I know kitty is faking her confidence, and it's obvious when she walks out. She looks at me egging with her eyes, I get up and wrap an arm around her, and guid her to the couch where I was sitting. "Okay, Kitty, meet the band, Ryan, Ron, and Jacky. Guys, Kitty." I gesture to each guy, and then to Kitty. "Hey!" The guys chorus in unison. "Hello," Kitty sounds so small, and she's shaking under my arm. "So you're from Raleigh?" Ryan asks, Kitty nods, Ryan's eyes widen, so do the other's. They seem to realize that she's absolutely terrified. "Kitty, come here for a minute Kitty, sit here," Ryan says, sliding to the floor, and gesturing to the space in front of him. Nervously she does. Gently picking up her hands in both of his, Ryan looks serious, but kindly into her eyes. "Kitty, this band is like a family, and I don't know what's happened to you in the past, but right now is what matters. You're part of this family now, and none of us would ever do anything to hurt you, if you ever need any of us to do anything for you, or help you in any way, just say the word. Ok?" Tears are pooling in Kitty's eyes. "Ok, thank you." She gasps, fighting tears, I give Ryan an approving nod. He opens his arms and quickly she hugs him, then to my surprise she gets up and hugs Ron and Jacky as well. I open my arms next, and she just sits herself on my lap. I smile.
