***Danny's POV***
"We have sort of a special treat for you" Max explains to the audience. They scream. "Ronnie has caught a bug so we are going to stay positive and work though this the best we can". I can't tell how the audience feels but I hope they don't hat me. I come out on to stage.
"Hi I'm Ronnie Radke" I joke into the mic. I hear roars of laughter. "Imam sing you a song"
I sing 3 songs then leave with an outstanding "rock on!" From the people. Kayla goes out and I see her shake a little. They start with 'Good Girls Bad Guys'. After the first couple seconds Kayla starts to really get into it. She looks happy almost. I look over at Ben who, in his eyes, is pouring over with love for Kayla. I take a deep breath. You are a man Danny don't cry. I think Kayla finishes her last song and I look up to see Jacky move towards Kayla and kiss her. I think she pushes him off and turns around, her face covered with pure surprise. I look over to Ben who is already halfway to Jacky, looking like he's ready to take a swing at him. Oh dear. I go to run and hold him back but he's too quick. Next thing I know there is a fist in a face and Kayla screaming 'Ben! He didn't know!'
We are all back stage Falling In Reverse in one room us in the other.
"He didn't know Ben! I didn't even kiss back. I pushed him off as soon as I knew what was going on. Come on Ben. You know I only like you" Kayla pleads
"I'd testify. I saw a clear push and surprise" I say. Everyone grumbles an agreement
"Why didn't you tell him we were dating?" Ben says angrily
"Because I was mad at you and just wanted to have a mind numbing drinks with friends with out the damn drama floating in the air!"
"Why didn't you just bring it up" he says swiping at what I assume was a tear
"Because it wasn't a slumber party! We didn't sit around in a circle gossiping"
I see Ben sigh and get up and hug her. Then everyone else eases their muscles. He whispers something in audible but by his lips movement imp guessing 'I love you'. Oh god Benny boy. You moved too fast, she's all uncomfortable now.
"Now boys" she orders "go play your set. I'm going to talk with Jacky then be out for my half"
Ben shoots a worried glance but she reassures him with a 'don't worry'. Real reassuring Kayla. Not.
***Kayla's POV***
I leave the room shaking my head. Damn drama.
I knock on the door where they are hidden. "Can I come in?" I say to the light brown wooden door.
Ryan peeps his head out. "It's not the best time"
"Please. Him and I should talk." I say
He walks outside and closes the door behind him. "He's crying. He's shy and he took a risk and this is what happens"
"I'm so sorry. I didn't think..."
"No one thought. Something about you brought him out"
Guilt. The worlds worst emotion. "If he doesn't want to be bothered... At least tell him I'm sorry and I really do want to be friends"
Ryan nods and goes back in while I turn around and head to stage.
"Not the American Average is all yours" Danny says high fiveing me as a walk on.
My favorite song. I take a deep breath. "Come on baby keep it down!" I sing into the mic. I'm not sure why but I get super into this song. I also do another bottle down and closer, one of their new singles.
Ben walks up to the mic, catching his breath. "Kayla is my girlfriend not Jacky's" he smiles at me. "And to prove it" he kisses me, and slides his hands under my shorts and holds onto my bare bum. What is up with this? He slides his hands out and flips off the crowd. "We love you motherfuckers" he shouts then picks me up bridal style and carries me off stage.
"Wanna drown the drama out with alcohol?" Danny asks when we are alone. Ben James cam and Sam are all pranking the manager, a tradition after a shitty day.
"Naw. Too tired" I say "piggy back ride?"
I hop on his back and he take me to the bus.
Once we are in Danny say something I wish I didn't have to discuss: "so. Benny told you he loved you?"
"Stay out of my relationship." I say putting on my batman pajamas.
"You don't do you?"
"I will eventually"
"So what'd you say when he said it"
"I said it back"
Danny gasps jokingly "you liar"
"Shut up" I say throwing a ballot socks at him.
He shrugs. "I won't tell"
"Better not" I mumble slipping into the bunk Ben and I share.
