Chapter 10: Publicity and Paparazzi

The next day I woke up to Ronnie bringing in coffee and bagels. "Oh hey...I uh got you some stuff when we stopped to eat. I didn't wanna wake you so I figured I'd just get you the usual." Ronnie said. "Oh thanks, yeah that's fine. I don't really care as long as its food." I laughed weakly. "Well yesterday was kind of crazy so I figured maybe I could break the ice, and we can try and move on from what happened?" He said setting the food down on top of the dresser. "Yeah. Yeah of course. It really wasn't that big of a deal anyways." I said shyly. "Uh well we're gonna go explore the town for a little, you wanna tag along?" He asked. "Yeah, uh for sure. I just need to get ready so give me like 30 minutes?" I replied. "Sure thing!" He said getting up before exiting the room. I breathed out briefly and began to empty the coffee shop bag of its containments. I ate my breakfast and quickly got ready. I came out of Ronnie and I's bedroom to find the guys waiting for me. "Let's go explore Denver!" Ryan exclaimed as we all piled out of the seemingly enormous bus. We had explored the town for a few hours and were heading back to the tour bus when Ronnie caught up to me. "So Jay, are you enjoying the tour so far?" He asked me. "Its been a lot of fun, thank you for inviting me!" I smiled as I gave him a hug. We broke our hug after hearing the guys exclaiming and flashes of light being shot in our direction. It was paparazzi. We all carefully avoided the pesky camera men and climbed back onto the bus. Later on in the evening we were watching MTV when the Rock Central broadcast came over the television. "New reports of Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke with mystery love interest supposedly named Jade Oliver Clarke. The pair was seen along with the rest of the band as they explore new tour stop in Denver, Colorado." A woman explained over the 62 inch flatscreen. "Woahhhh talk about a publicity stunt!" Ryan exclaimed. "Me and Ronnie are just friends!" I reassured the group before anyone else could chime in, including Ronnie. Ronnie looked at me in a solumn and almost sad way. I got up from the couch and went into my room on the bus. I sat and pondered about what was I going to do now that people think Ronnie and I are something. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and went onto Twitter to see that I had gained a couple hundred followers since the announcement. I proceeded to get to the 'Write a Tweet' box and began typing. As my fingers were crashing down on the keyboard Ronnie came into the room. "Hey Jay, can we um...talk about something?" He asked. "Sure what is it?" I breathed heavily. "You know all this drama of us dating would be kind of good for publicity. Get the band noticed a little more..." He said while he fiddled with his fingers. "Ronnie uh...I don't know..." I was interrupted as Ronnie chimed in "C'mon Ryan does have a point. And I wouldn't mind getting to play your boyfriend...ha um...only if you're okay with it?" He said shyly. After some careful consideration and my thoughts put to ease I replied "Okay fine...But only to help the band." I said as I turned away and tried to straighten the bed to sleep.
