tears // j.d

I slowly pull up to a dark grey town house community of mostly struggling single parents and old people. I climb out of my car and begin to make my way up to my door. I fumble with my key ring until i find the right key and I slide my key into my apartment door, hearing the clicks of it unlocking. I shove open my door to be greeted by a albino snake on the floor, slithering around. I put my hand up to my forehead and let out air I didn't know I was holding.

"Venus..."

I sigh, picking up the 4 foot long ball python off the dark hard wood flooring and throw my purse on my fake leather couch. I walk behind my couch and I walk over to my office to find my snake sanctuary opened again. I swear my snake should be named Houdini. I place her back into her sanctuary, sealing it up good this time. I walk out of the office and finally sit down after a long day. I rub my eyes and look over to my purse with Joshs note poking out from inside. I contemplate whether or not to open it, and in this process, the note ends up in my hands. I rip it open and read what it says.

' February 15th
8:00 am
Meet me behind the building and show them this note,
they should let you pass. '

Okay totally not what I expected. I get up and head back to my office and sit at my desk with my desktop on it. I begin looking up what happens in February and found out that they are playing a show in Anaheim. But not at eight in the morning. I shrug it off, not really knowing what to expect and I grab my things, head up the stairs. I walk into my room, placing my items in their respectable homes and went to my white dresser which was places in the corner of my black walls. I grabbed a pair of fuzzy shorts and an old tank top with various stains on it and I changed into them, dropping my dirty clothes in a hamper right next to my dresser. I brush my teeth and climb into my checkered bed and I fall asleep, not knowing that today changed my whole life.

Joshs POV

The bus ride to the next city was silent. Tyler fell asleep as well as some of the crew and the others were scrolling through their social media feed or preparing for the next show. I was sitting in the 'living room', looking down at my thumbs, twiddling them. I thought about the events that went down today. I thought back when we first arrived to the venue, an odd and intoxicating feel that something about this show would be the start of a beautiful thing, but with no clue what it was. It gave us a rush. Then we tried helping the venue crew set up, but struck no luck until I saw Zoey, crouched on the ground, scrubbing at the floor. I told Tyler and he told me to help her out but I panicked and chickened out which lead to my break down in the spare room.

I cringe at the last part, crunching my eyes shut. But I keep remembering the day.

Then that's when Zoey bursted in, also crying. Tears lining her cheeks, stray hair strands stuck onto the trails the tears made. And my mood immediately changed. I wanted to soothe her, and it seemed she wanted the same for me. She told me something that immediately brought my mood up and I gathered enough confidence to talk to her. But in the heat of the moment, he next thing I know she is in my dressing room, not that I was complaining. I rushed through sound check just to talk to her again, hopefully gaining some kind of contact with her after the show. When I got back and saw her, a wave of warmth went through my body, giving me a feeling of realization.

Could I be rushing this?

She doesn't know me, well, besides from interviews and other videos and photos, but that doesn't go deep enough into who I really am.

But then a boost of confidence led me to complimenting her beauty and giving her one of my shirts. And boy did I play my heart out to impress my new friend. I really wanted to impress her. But the night came to an end to fast and we had take our separate ways, but not without a little reassurance.

I smiled at the thought of Zoey. She was gorgeous, really thoughtful, and humble. I can't wait to see my new friend again. I get up from the couch, said goodnight to everyone and went to sleep in my small bunk, oblivious of what is to come in the coming years.
