The Truth in Cliche (Falling in Reverse and Escape the Fate FanFic) Sequel to Not Good Enough

10. And Tour Begins

Carter's POV:

The show went relatively well. We had a few mishaps but eh. You can't expect everything to be perfect, now can you? Certainly not in this business. I hung out backstage and watched FIR and ETF go on. They were amazing. As always. Sleeping with Sirens weren't gonna join us until the show after next. So it's just us and a few other not too popular bands, but they're good. After ETF went off I decided to head to my bus and change for the party tonight. I was sweaty and gross. I walked onto my bus and low and behold.

More people making out. What the fuck is wrong with all of us!? Is this a 'Let's see how many people can hook up and pair off during this tour' Tour? I think it is.

"Jacen! What the hell!" I yelled as I covered my eyes. She screamed and scrambled for her shirt that was on the floor. A shirtless Jacky just smirked at me and waved. I rolled my eyes and glared at my bass player.

"What the hell Jace?" I asked as she pulled her shirt over her head.

"Uhm, Jacky and I are dating?" she said sheepishly. Mkhay. End of the world.

"Seriously? It's the first day of tour. How can you be dating him already?" I asked

"We've been dating close to six months." Jacky said. Jacen turned and glared at him. I stared wide eyed.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked, genuinely hurt. She was supposed to be my closest friend.

"We both agreed not to tell anyone until it was serious." she answered

"Yeah. And dating six months and getting to second base on my tour bus isn't serious." I laughed bitterly and pushed past her to get to my bunk. I pulled off my clothes and grabbed a new outfit before going to the bathroom. I slammed the door and stared at myself.

My ribs were apparent, and my hips bones stuck out. I smiled. Pretty. I pulled on my super skinny black jeans and red off the shoulder Des&Nate shirt. I washed my face and brushed my teeth before cleaning my new Monroe piercing. I put a black stud in it and did my make-up using black eyeshadow and thick eyeliner. I applied lip gloss and ran a straightner through my hair quickly. I made sure to apply extra deoderant before sitting on the toilet and pulling on my new shoes. I'd never worn them, so today seemed like a great chance. I gave myself a once over and smiled. I actually looked good. I walked out the bathroom and to my bunk.I grabbed my phone and a pack of gum before leaving the bus, not bothering to look at Jacen or Jacky. I slammed the bus door and walked down the street to the club the party was at. When I got there the music was loud, and the dresses were short. And let's not forget, the alcohol was strong. I walked right in, not getting carded. I looked around and immediately found Ronnie and the rest of his band in a corner, not drinking. That's good though, I like that they are all straight egde.

"Hey baby." I smiled and kissed his cheek. He grinned at me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Hey." he said after letting me go.

"What's up?" I asked, moving to stand next to him in the circle. Ryan scooted over and smiled at me.

"Not much. Waiting on Jacky?" he answered, glancing around. I sighed and rolled my eyes. "What's wrong?" Ronnie asked me

"Jacky and Jacen were sucking face on my bus. Apparently they've been dating for six months and didn't bother to tell anyone." I answered. Ronnie sighed

"I thought something was going on with them. They are always so giggly and weird around each other." He said

"Yeah, I noticed that too. But I thought they were just really flirty." Derek said.

"Me too." Ron said. His name is Ronnie too, but we call him Ron to avoid confusion.

"I'm just mad they didn't tell me." I shrugged. Right after I said that Jace and Jacky walked in. I sighed and glared at her.

"I'm sorry Carter." Jacen told me, she looked sincere.

"Ugh. Fine. But next time I'll bitch slap you." I smiled and hugged her. She's my sister. I could never stay mad at her. Everyone laughed and we all talked for about two hours, just fucking around and being dumb.

"I love your shoes by the way!" Jacen said looking at them.

"Thanks, I got them the day before we left for tour and haven't worn them yet." I smiled and looked at them. They were adorable.

"Don't your feet hurt? I mean damn." Derek said, laughing.

"No, girls are used to it." I laughed and stuck my tongue out, which to Ronnie meant lick it -.- "RONALD!" I yelled

"It was an open invitation." He laughed. I just glared at him, but I broke into a smile. He's so adorable.

"Well it's time for us to head to the bus." Ryan said, glancing at his watch. It was midnight. But Ronnie has to get eight hours of sleep, even on the road.

"Mkhay, well goodnight guys." Jacen and I smiled and hugged them all goodbye.

"Don't party too hard." Ronnie laughed before kissing me and leaving.

"Now let's go drink!" I screamed, causing Jacen to giggle, but run to the bar with me none the less. Guess who we found?

"Ziz! Runt!" I yelled excitedly, hugging them

"Hey." they greeted. We sat down and had shots. Damn, Runt could really slam those things back. Five shots each and we were ready to dance. We went to the dance floor and grinded on one another. Boys asked for our numbers but we all declined. We danced with each other until Craig and TJ decided to invade our space.

"Hey sexy ladies!" TJ slurred. We laughed at him, he was totally shit-faced. We stumbled off the dance floor and over to a table where it was a bit quieter.

"Hey guise!" Zizzy yelled, and then covered her mouth giggling. We all laughed at her, and then went into seperate conversations. I looked over to see TJ drunkenly flirting with Runt, and then her blushing and giggling. Oh lord. I looked at Jacen and Zizzy to see they also were rolling their eyes at the two of them.

"So, how's it going?" Craig asked. He wasn't drunk. Not at all. I was a bit tipsy, but we seemed to be the most clear-headed of the group.

"It's going pretty good. Can't complain." I shrugged, Craig smiled. We talked a little more about nothing before we decided it was time to get home. TJ and Runt were raping each other's faces and Jacen and Zizzy were rating everyone who walked by, making rude comments about them. So Craig and I dragged them out the club and down the street to the buses. We had to keep stopping to get them on track, but we got there relatively unharmed. Craig helped TJ onto the ETF bus before helping me walk Zizzy, Jacen, and Runt onto mine.

"Goodnight Craig." I said before giving him a tight hug. He squeezed me tighter and whispered

"Night." into my ear. I smiled and watched him walk away. I climbed onto my bus and passed out on the couch.

My bunk was too far away.
