[Complete] The Rose That Changed My Life [Rose x reader]

10. A Night With Friends, Healing

Y/n POV

Halloween is approaching and our band got a show that was pretty big. We're talking stadium big. Thing is, we have been working on our sound and it's changed quite a lot. We ended up being recommended by Mr. Yang because we had self released an album based on popular Halloween icons, movies, and books. All recorded and performed on the beautiful guitar Lisa gifted to me. To prepare for the show, I would go to work then come home and we would practice well into the night. Sometimes The girls would come and watch, Rose not as much though. Honestly, I think that she thought the tension between the two of us was probably too much and I think I would agree. I have been pushing her away and being rather cold as of recent. But it helps keep me from getting hurt again.

We had just finished practicing one of our songs and the girls clapped and screamed pretending to be a crowd making us laugh.

"That song was great!" Lisa exclaimed as she jumped up. "You guys rock so hard!"

"Very Halloween, I think it's gonna sound amazing live." Jennie said smiling.

Jisoo and Rose, just smiled and clapped. I just scratched my nape and smiled at them.

"You know guys, I think we nailed it that time." Luke laughed out in excited as he spun one of his drum sticks in his hand.

"I agree, I don't think anything was out off at all that run." Raven added setting the mic back on the stand.

"I seriously can't wait to see you guys live." Jisoo said still clapping.

"Was this not good enough?" Jon retorted with a laugh.

"You know what I mean!" Jisoo responded puffing out her face.

"We should get some dinner, we've been practicing since Y/n got home and we haven't eaten yet. " Kristen threw out, laying her guitar on the stand.

"I'm game. Hey, Lisa, is KBQ open?" I asked also setting my guitar on the stand.

"Yeah, they should be. They normally stay open pretty late." She responded checking her phone for the time.

"What do you guys think? KBQ sound good?" I opened the suggestion to everyone in the room.

It was fairly a unanimous within the band, but the girls seemed to stay quiet. "You girls are invited to, you know."

They got up excitedly and we all got ready. We decided to walk since there wasn't enough room in my car, and it was only a five minute walk anyway. Small conversations went around on the way. Mainly small things like our days, new things, and as usual Kristen and Jennie talking about fashion. Kristen got pretty close to Jennie and Lisa. Not surprised, they both seem like the type that Kristen likes to hang around. Not to mention she hasn't really had many girls that were willing to be her friend, I guess not a lot of girly-ish girls like to hang around rocker chicks.

I also noticed Rose taking glances at me as we walked, although she mostly kept her head down. I guess I couldn't help but to keep glancing at her myself. I mean, she's still pretty. I still like, no, definitely more than like her. But nothing I can do or say, I don't have a chance. She's an idol, I'm just some guy from Ohio. So I just kept my face as straight as possible.

We finally arrived and got seated in a private room, I mean there is ten of us, so I guess there's no real way to fit us in a regular table in a place this small. The table in here even has a bigger grill, and it was making me hungrier. Please hurry food! We took our seats and put in our order. We made sure to order a lot.

"So, what's your set gonna be, guys? You've recorded and released a lot of songs recently." Rose spoke up timidly.

"We were thinking Communion of the Cursed, Me Myself and Hyde, Rocking the Boat, and we haven't thought of a fourth song yet." Jaime said taking a sip of his drink.
