Chapter 7
2 weeks later
Walking around with Austin holding his hand and kissing him has been great. It's almost too good to be true. I don't want this to ever end. But life has been getting harder for me as people stop talking to me like Asking Alexandria, blessthefall, Sally Stitches, and a couple other bands.
I missed Asking Alexandria but I know I told them not to talk to me. I shouldn't have done that because they always seemed to keep me in check. Austin doesn't make me feel the same way I feel when I was around Cameron. Maybe I don't love Austin as much as I thought I did. But I decided to push all thoughts of them out of my mind so I could focus on Austin.
Cameron's POV
I can't believe I let her get away from me. I'm not the same without her around. I need Xena in my life. But at least I worked on a song with my boys while on the road yesterday. It wasn't a new song but it was an acoustic version of one off our latest album.
I tried everything to keep Xena out of my mind but everything made me think of her. I just wanted to talk to her but I knew she was mad at me and the rest of the band. But fuck it. I grabbed my phone off the table and sent her a message.
Cameron- Hey Xena
Xena- Urm hi Cam
Cameron- how are you?
Xena- I'm good....scratch that I'm awful. People are bitchin at me saying shit and it's just pissing me off.
Cameron- What are they saying?
Xena- I don't even know.
I decided it better if I just ended our conversation there because I was about send her a long message about how much I love her.
Xena POV
Cameron. Oh how I missed you. I love you. I'm not afraid to admit it to myself anymore. I need you here; you keep me in balance. I've been a wreck since we stopped talking. Dahvie's mad as fuck at me because he caught me getting high with Jayy. He doesn't let me sleep in our bunk so I have to sleep on the couch. The couch is extremely uncomfortable but I guess it's better than the floor. I really only talk to Jayy, Austin, and Jeffree now; it's getting very lonely but then again I'm just pushing everyone away because they keep asking me how I'm doing and shit. I can't take everyone asking the same thing over and over again.
"Hey Genie! Jeffree is throwing a dope party tonight. We should go and check it out." Jayy ran over telling me the news he just heard from his mail-order bride.
I laughed at his excitement, "Sure why not. I could use a drink or two."
I took out the dye that I brought with me so I could change my hair color. I applied the purple all over and once I rinsed that out I added some black and red to the body then I used the blonde as tips. I straightened my hair after I took my shower and teased it up big. I applied my makeup heavily and put my new septum and tongue piercings in.
I decided to wear a black miniskirt, hot pink belly halter-top, and a pair of heels. I wore this only because I wanted to show off my new back and stomach tattoo. My back tattoo says 'When you love something set it free, if it don't come back, it wasn't meant to be.'
Jayy and I showed up at the party together and were fashionably late but we didn't mind because that was our style. I talked to some people but most just ignored me. I walked over to the bar and took at least five shots within five minutes. I walked around to find Austin but I couldn't see him. I made it over to the booths and saw him sitting there with three girls all making out with him and he really seemed to be enjoying himself. I ran back to the bar taking more shots. I went outside to smoke a blunt or two.
On the dance floor I was grinding all over Jayy and the other guys who were around. Jayy's a good dance partner even though he'd rather be up against a guy. I staggered off the dance floor an sat down in a booth.
A group of people walked over, "You're such a poser! Why do you keep trying to be like Dahvie?"
I just stared at them and stood up, "I don't know what the fuck you're talking about."
"You're trying to be like Dahvie. You dye your hair like his and you act like him."
"What the fuck? I'm not trying to anyone but myself."
"Save it for someone who'll believe you."
I called a cab to take me back to the venue so I could lay down and think about what just happened. But when I got there, there wasn't any thinking I just grabbed the brown hair dye and dyed my hair.
Why brown? Because its the most natural color. No one would recognize me. I wouldn't get shit for anything. I should probably cut it a bit but then I might regret it once it's done.
I wrapped myself in my blanket laid down on the couch and fell asleep while watching DeathNote.
Waking up was hard to do but I finally managed to open my eyes to check the time. 3 PM. Oh shit I'm gonna miss Jayy and Dahvie if I don't get changed. I took a quick shower, left my hair alone, put on minimal makeup, and put on my blue and green sundress with a pair of platform flip-flops.
At the stage I waited backstage for their set to be done. They were doing such an amazing job I didn't realize they finished. "Genie what the fuck happened to you?" Jayy questioned as I looked at him funny.
"What's wrong with your hair?" He grabbed some of my hair in his hands and showed me.
"Holy shit when did this happen?" I was so confused.
Jayy wrapped his arm around my waist and he led me over to the bathroom. "Look at yourself."
I looked in the mirror where I noticed I didn't have my lip ring, nose ring, or gauges in. I tried to remember what happened last night but the last thing I remembered was walking into a club with Jayy.
