The Bandana Boy

3. Meeting The Band

We arrived in front of a white three story house at around eleven in the morning. I turned the car off and got out.

"ADRIANNA" Jacky shouted as he tackled me into a giant bear hug.

"JACKY" I shouted back.

We met Aaron on the other side of the truck.

"Jacky, this is my brother, Aaron. Aaron, this is my friend, Jacky" I said introducing each other.

Aaron and Jacky shook hands. We all grabbed a few bags and carried them in. Jacky showed us to our rooms. Mine was across from his and to the right of Aaron's. We were all on the second floor. We walked back down the stairs. The three of us sat on the couch and talked for a few hours. At about two, the door flew open and four guys walked in.

Jacky jumped up to introduce us, "Adrianna, Aaron, this is my band. Ryan Seaman, Ronnie Radke, Ron Ficarro, and Derek Jones. Guys these are the friends I was telling you about"

We all shook hands and sat down to get to know each other better. We talked for and hour or so.

"I need food" Jacky said.

"Let's go out" Ronnie said grabbing his red leather jacket and a pair of keys.

"Okay" the rest of us said in unison.

There was a silence where everyone was staring at each other. Suddenly everyone burst out into laughter. We all gathered into the band van and headed out.

Ten minutes later we arrived at some kind of skating rink/food place. Ronnie paid for everyone. We got four large pizzas. By the time I finished my two pieces, the boys completely wiped out the pizza. We threw away the trash and got our skates.

We skated for a few hours. The boys eventually got bored so we returned our skates and piled back into the van. Instead of going back to the house, Ronnie decided to go to Walmart. Ryan, Aaron, and Jacky all ran off to the toy isle, Derek and Ron went to get snacks, and Ronnie and I went to get movies.

"Horror or horror?" Ronnie asked me as we entered the isle.

"Ahhh that's a tough decision, but I think I'll go with horror" I laughed.

"Good choice" he said.

Ronnie picked up the movies and we went off to find the guys. Just as I was about to text Aaron to ask where they were, my phone peeped. It was Aaron.

Aaron:P - HELP ME!!

Me- Where are you?!?! What's going on???

Aaron:P - The toy isle now hurry up!!!

I grabbed Ronnie's arm and dragged him to the toy isle.

"Whoa what's going on? Why are we running?" he asked.

"I don't know. Aaron just said he need help" I replied quickly.

We got to the toy isle just as I heard a British accent yell "FIRE!!!"

All of a sudden, dozens of rubber balls are being thrown at Ronnie and me. Jacky, Ryan, and Aaron are laughing their butts off as the take in our shocked faces. They abruptly stop laughing when they see our faces turn serious.

Ronnie and I give each other a look and then shout "THIS IS WAR" as we run after them. Aaron jumped in between two shelves so he was unreachable, Ronnie took off after Ryan, and I chased Jacky. All of a sudden Jacky trips over a ball and falls over, taking me down with him. I jump up and put one foot on his chest so he cant stand up.

"I win" I say with a smirk.

"This time" he mumbles.

"This war is mine" I quote from one of his band's songs.

I help him up and we leave to find the other guys. We find Aaron and Ryan tied together with jump ropes. Ronnie is standing next to them with a proud smile on his face.

"Dude, what the heck did you do to my brother?" I laugh out.

"Hey, he hit us with balls. It's only fair" Ronnie said.

We untie Ryan and Aaron and set off to find Ron and Derek. We pay for the movies and the food.

"Hey guys we'll meet you out in the van, okay?" I say as I grab Jacky's arm.

Ronnie nods his head and they leave. I grab Jacky's hand and drag him to the toy isle, once again.

"What are we doing?" he asked, clearly confused.

"Something" I reply with a devious smirk.

I grab enough water guns for everyone and then go to the food section to get chocolate syrup.

"Ahhh I see what you have in mind" Jacky says with a devious smile of his own.

"Good" I say.

"I like the way you think" he says.

We check out and make our way to the van. I throw the stuff into the trunk so the guys can't see. We get home at around nine PM. Derek goes to make popcorn, Ron sets up the DVD player, and Jacky and I go and get blankets and pillows for everyone. We all decided to sleep in the living room for tonight.

Derek came back with popcorn and Ryan put one of the movies in. We all got in a place. Derek on one couch, Ron on the other couch, Ronnie in the love seat, and Jacky, Aaron, and I on the floor. I was in the middle of Jacky and Aaron. Half way through the movie, I felt Aaron's head lean on me as he fell asleep. I leaned my head on to Jacky and immediately fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.
