Infamous *Ricky Horror Love Story*

Chapter 8: Tension In The Air..

"Hey Mother Fuckers! How are you tonight?" Chris screamed into the crowd. I watched from my spot in the hallway, next to the stage, where the rest of the band was waiting. The stage was amazing. It was about thirty feet wide by feet up, and about five feet up. It had a black ground, black background and different colored lights with a smoke machine. I stood next to Balz, who looked slightly nervous. Ricky was closest to the stage, Brandon and Ryan behind Ricky, Balz and I behind them, and then Ghost at the end. "You alright?" I asked Balz. "Yeah...yeah. I'm just worried 'bout you." Balz answers, looking over at me. "I'm always OK. I'll handle it..." I trailed off, looking down. I don't even know how I can handle this. I never really had to deal with a guy like this. I mean, yeah I've had guys hit on me before. For an example Ryan, but never has someone loved and hated me at the same time. Whoa there Riot, I don't think Ricky loves you, perhaps a crush. "Don't worry, I'll talk to him later." Balz whispers. I nodded my head, just as Chris calls the rest of the band on stage. I watched as the guys run on stage. The fans were screaming with happiness. I watched Chris sing, as he ran around the stage, while head banging. I smiled slightly;I've never seen him play before, but he looks mostly happy when he's on stage. The guys didn't even look at the back where I was, except Ricky who kept making eye contact with me. I rolled my eyes each time he did, he doesn't need to pay attention to me, but to the crowd. "Alright guys, I want you to meet my little sister, Riot!" Chris yelled, running over to me, pulling me onto the stage. I awkwardly walk on the stage, waving my hand. The fans started screaming my name over and over. Why do they even care? I'm no one special. "Hi." I smiled slightly into the microphone. "She's going to be with us for awhile, so let's give her a big hand!" Chris yelled into the microphone. The crowd started clapping once more. Chris pulled me into a hug. After the hug, I started walking off, then suddenly tripped over some wires. I held my hands up in my face waiting to hit the hard stage ground. But the ground never came, instead I was in someone's arms. To be exact Ricky's arms. Ricky smiled slightly then tried to lean in. Bitterly, I shoved him off of me, bowed to the crowd and walked off stage. I didn't eve look back to see what Ricky was doing. All I know was that the crowd was going crazy over me. ~~ After the concert, Chris walked over to me, looking slightly annoyed. "Hey Chris." I smiled at him, sitting on one of the amps. "What was that?" Chris asked, referring to the stage scene. "I fell." I stated. "No, I mean the Rick thing." Chris said, his eyes narrowing. I shrunk down slightly. "I don't even fucking know. All I know was I fell, and he caught me." I replied. "Are you and Rick...." Chris looked away from me. "No! Chris, I would never do that! I don't have feelings for ANYBODY." I half screamed. Why would Chris even ask that? "OK, OK. I'm sorry for asking. I know you would never do that. Anyways, let's pack up." Chris smiled, helping me up. I kissed his cheek, then started packing up wires, amps, and of course the instruments. I looked around for my best friend. When I finally found him, he was talking to Ricky, so I backed away before I was seen. After everything was packed up, I was half way asleep on the couch. "Riot, wake up!" Balz said, shaking me awake. I sat up growling at Balz. "I talked to Rick." Balz added. That woke me up all the way. "What happened?" I asked. "I asked him why he's acting all weird, and he said he's not. I said you have ever since Riot came here. He blushed, and replied 'am not'. I said bull shit, and he was like OK maybe. Then he walked off. So yeah Ricky likes you." Balz concluded. "Great. First Ryan then Ricky." I frowned, sinking into the couch. Balz chuckled then put his arm around me. "Well, at least you have me as a best friend." I leaned against him, falling right back asleep. Sadly I didn't sleep long, I woke up to see Balz and Ricky arguing. "What the fuck?" I growled sitting up. They stopped as soon as they saw me. "Nothing." Balz frowned. "Where's Chris?" I asked. "The guys are passed out in the bunks." Ricky replies, looking at me. "Well, shut the fuck up so we can all sleep." I replied, lying back down, and turning around. "I suggest going to the bunks." Ricky yells at me. "Bitch, I suggest don't tell me what the fuck to do." I retort, closing my eyes. "If your boyfriend told you what to do you wouldn't have a problem." Ricky snaps. I sat up. "What are you talking about?" I snapped. Balz stood beside me, equally confused. "Oh, so you and Balz snuggling on the couch isn't dating? Or are you friends with benefits?" Ricky yells. "I'm not dating Balz. Dear God, you need some help!" I screamed. "I tried to tell him!" Balz says, glaring at Ricky. "You can't deny that you don't have feelings for him. Do you not remember when you were drunk? You basically were all over him!" Ricky yells. "I half way remembered! I didn't have sex with him or kissed him!" I yelled. "I don't remember anything." Balz said, s he started to laugh at his comment. "You were in his lap, and had your arms wrapped around his neck!" Ricky screams. "My God Ricky, I was drunk!" "You have feelings for Balz." Ricky states. "Why does it even matter if I do?" I replied. "Because I...you know what? Never mind." Ricky yelled, turning to walk away. I throw a bottle at Ricky, barely missing him. It instead hit Chris's bunk. Fuck. "What's going on?" Chris asks, coming in the living room. "Yeah, I can't sleep with all this screaming." Brandon frowns, joining beside Chris. Brandon is like the Father of the bus. "Ricky thinks Balz and I are together." I sighed. "Are you?" Brandon asked. "No! He's my best friend." I replied. "Yes! I have a chance now!" Ryan yells. I rolled my eyes. When did Ryan get here? "No. No, you don't." I replied. Ryan shrugs it off. "Why does it even matter if she does, Rick?" Chris asked, turning towards Ricky. We all looked at the man. "I...I-" "Do you have feelings for Riot?" Balz asked him. Ricky jumped at the question. "No. I just don't think it'd be a good idea to date a band member." Ricky obviously lies. "So what if she did? I don't care as long as it's not Ryan." Chris jokes. "Hey!" Ryan frowns. I rolled my eyes, and sat down. "I'm not dating anybody. Ugh, can we all just go to sleep?" I frowned. I was rubbing my eyes crazily. I needed sleep. "Yeah. Let's go to bed." Balz seconds, walking away. I laid back down, as the rest of the guys left to go to bed. What kind of game is Ricky playing?
