Bad Boy's Club

Will You?

Craig's POV:

"Babe," I began as I'm fixing my tie. "Come on, we're gonna be late." Monte and I came out about our relationship to the rest of the band about a month ago. And to the fans just last week. I think it's time I take him on a real date. I mean, we've been dating now for about five and a half months.

"Craig." Monte says, standing in the doorway between the bedroom and bathroom. "Does this look okay?" He's wearing black skinny jeans and a button down shirt. I like it.

"You look sexy." I reply, walking over to him and kissing his soft lips. I brush his blond and black hair away from his gorgeous, brown eyes, rubbing his cheek with my thumb as he smiled at me. "Come on. We gotta go."

"I never knew this place had such good food." Monte said, swallowing a bite of bread stick. "This is turning out to be the best date I've been on."

"It's about to be even better." I reply, earning a confused look from Monte. The waitress came over with our food and, when she put a plate down in front of Monte, he nearly choked on his wine. When he ordered lobster, I went up to the waitress and asked her to put a ring between pincers on one of the claws. "Marry me, Monte." All he could do was sit there, crying for a moment.

"Yes." He finally said, nodding a bit. "Yes I will!" Taking the ring out from the lobster's dead grasp, I slid it onto Monte's finger, kissing his hand soon after. I stood up, walking over to him for a hug. The whole room cheered as we kissed within our embrace. I love you, Monte Money. And I always will.

Monte's POV:

When we got back home, I couldn't help but to take a picture of the ring. Posting it on twitter with the caption, 'My man is amazing! <3 XD' Almost immediately after it posted, my phone blew up with at least a hundred twitter notifications. I smile as I read some of the comments.

'OMG! YASS!'

'U guys r so cute!'

'StanleeJones, Babeee. Lookie.'

But one stood out to me the most.

'Glad to see this! You deserve happiness.'

That comment was from Ronnie. Yes, the Ronnie Radke. I smile as I read the username. Ronnie was still my friend. After all this time, after all this Hell, he hasn't forgotten.

"Craig," I call out, not realizing Craig was right behind me. "Look." I show him the comment. "Ronnie says we deserve this."

"God to know he's on our side." I smile as Craig spoke. Soon enough, my phone rings. Looking at the caller ID, I realize it's my brother, Michael.

"Hello?" I ask as I answer the phone.

"Hey, bro." Michael replies. "I saw your tweet."

"Please tell me you didn't tell mom." I grew nervous at the thought. My parents are very religious and homophobic. And I don't want them to abandon me. "Or dad."

"Hey, your secret's safe with me, big bro!"

"Thank you." I sigh out.

"So, who is this mystery man? I missed something."

"Craig Mabbitt."

"Monte." I hear Craig calling my name from in the living room.

"Look, Mike, I gotta go. I'll call you in the morning." With that, I hung up the phone. As I walk into the room, I see Max made the news again. This time, he wasn't being arrested. He was being...let go? Why?

"Green was sentenced to only three months in prison after poisoning ex band mate, Monte Money." The anchor said. I grew more and more nervous. "Still no word yet on what actions Escape the Fate is going to take in the matter, but we were able to hear from guitarist, Kevin Thrasher."

"We're still trying to figure out what we're gonna do." Thrasher said, clearly wanting to just get on with his day. "Max has been kicked out, yes, but we have some Ideas on who will take his place."

"Oh my God." I whisper to myself. Craig turned the TV off as he stood up.

"I've heard enough."  he said, walking into the kitchen. Max is out of prison. And Craig proposed to me. In Max's mind, that means that I'm fair game.
