†Ronnie.†

Our opening was great. The fans were all chanting my name and cheering. I walked onstage holding Ryan's hand as I always did - I got really nervous before the shows. We got into our positions and the lights went on as my band started playing 'I'm Not a Vampire.' The fans were screaming and singing along, just like any other show. 

"Hi, my name is Ronnie, I'm an addict!" I shouted out to the croud. 

"HI RONNIE" They all screamed back. I tried - unsuccessfully- to hide my smile as I sung the rest of the song. I loved my fans so much, especially the ones who had been with me through everything. I don't know what I could have done without them. During Good GIrls Bad Guys I pulled my shirt over my head and threw it into the audience, and heard screams of joy as someone caught it. I knew very well that my ass was showing out from my jeans, but in all honesty I did not give a fucking fuck. When 'Raised by Wolves' had ended, I took a moment to talk to the croud, and someone shouted at me. 

"Go back to prison you fucking murderer!" I clenched my fists. 

"You know what, I didn't kill nobody okay? Grow the fuck up. I work so fucking hard to make myself a better person, and I know I fucked up, but I'm trying, and when people like you say shit like that, it makes me wonder why I bother." After that I was showered with "No, Ronnie!" and "We love you!" and "I'm so proud of you!" and other comments like that, and it made me feel a bit better, but I was still fighting tears. 

"Right, we have one more song for you guys." I said, smiling. The croud roared. We played The Drug in Me is You, and had a great time on stage. The majority of my fans were awesome.
