"Why do I have to wear a dress?!"I argue with my manager Kerri, and she sighs, sitting next to me.

"You Really don't wanna wear a dress do you?"She Asks, And I nod groaning.

"Where I come from, like the part of town, we don't wear dresses, I think the only time I've ever touched a dress was when I had my crissning. That was it."I Explain, with my Boston accent coming out a bit and Kerri chuckles.

"Just wanted to see if I could get you in one."She shrugs and we both break out laughing.

I may be only twenty-four, but I know how to do shit.

"So then what are you going to wear?"She asks, and I walk over to my closet, pulling out my black leather jacket, a long sleeves boston Bruins shirt from 47' And black ripped jeans, with black boots.

"Ok then."Kerri chuckles, and I smile.

"Boston girl gotta show her pride for her hometown team during the playoffs."I smile cheekily, and Kerri shakes her head Jokingly.

"And I now see why Luke Liked you, And one of the reasons why I like you, your smart and you know where your roots are."Kerri explains and my smile grows wide, "but Caroline and Carrie might have a fit, Carrie cause it's not the predators."

"Go Bruins."I Smirk And Kerri shakes her head,

"I'm sure Caroline will be in here in a few minutes to work on your makeup."She smirks and I shake my head rapidly.

"Just tell her I already did it."I plead and Kerri shakes her head.

"You And I both know Carter that she isn't going to take no for an answer."Kerri chuckles, before walking out the door, and I groan.

I get changed, grabbing a pair of my rings, and My Alex and ani Bruins bracelet, and I start to finish braiding my hair in Dutch braids, when a knock on the door intrupts my thoughts.

"Carter!"Caroline calls out, and I finish putting the yellow band on, before walking out smirking.

"I'm not changing, and you can't yell at me."I point out, and Caroline shakes her head, chuckling.

"I should've know."She chuckles, pointing to the bathroom, before I sit on the sink.

"Carrie is going to flip her shit."I point out and Caroline's smile grows wide.

"Probably, She's lucky your not wearing a debrusk Jersey like you were the night Kerri came to watch you at the bar."Caroline pulls out a memory and I shake my head laughing.

"And once the show was over I went outside to take a drag, and it was like country strong, with Bo outside and Tim going to see him, except Kerri wasn't stuck up as the character, but she convinced me to go on tour with you guys, and I think you guys and everyone else that I've met have made my life better than it was playing in the bar."I finish and Caroline smiles.

"I'm glad, and your still sober right?"She Asks And I nod smiling, as she does a nude lipstick.

"One year tomorrow... it's been a long road, along with dick prick making me almost drink several times, but it was worth it."I finish and Caroline looks at me.

"Speaking of, where is the little prick?"She Asks referring to my 'boyfriend' John and I shrug, chuckling bitterly.

"No clue, Probably fucking some hoe, and I don't give a fuck cause I've tried to get rid of him but he won't leave."I chuckle bitterly and Caroline sighs,

"You can always get a restraining order on him you know that? You don't have to deal with his drunk ass anymore, it's only going to affect you more."She Explains And I shake my head.

"I've already tried that, last week I literally had a whiskey bottle up to my lips."I Explain as I grab my phone, keys and wallet before we head out, and Caroline gives me a hug.

"I'm a number away if you need me ok?"She Asks And I nod smiling.

"Did you steal that from Luke Combs?"I Ask And Caroline shrugs, as we start to go our separate ways.

"I'll see you later!"She calls out and I smirk, before going down to the CMA's.
