We all stayed in Florida a few days after completing the video just cause we wanted to chill. I called Johnny, and I even got a modeling set; which is for today. Today is also the day that Lyric, Grim, and Brandon all fly home, they probably should've just stayed because they're going to have to fly back to Maryland in a week, which would be a closer flight. Yesterday, on our Instagram, we finally announced our tour. Right now I'm driving with an escort who picked up from the hotel, and we're on our way to a beach.
"So" I smile at him "How long have you been in this business"
"Two years" he shrugs "I like it, I mean most people are nice, and it's a pretty easy job
"Cool" I nod
"How long have you been a model?"
"Well" I sing, thinking, then nod "About half a year. My friend Alysha got me into it. I really just like traveling so that's why I chose this career- well, among many of my others"
"What else do you do?" He smiles over at me, then looks back at the road
"I'm a musician" I nod "I'm in a touring band called Indulgence over abstinence. As well as I'm a college student, I'm trying to get my credentials in photography, and I am a paid speaker and I raise funds for the national suicide hotline"
"You sound like a really busy woman" his smile widens
"I keep busy" I laugh
The rest of the car ride is filled with small talk and banter. I forgot how beautiful Florida was in my time away, and in only a little bit I will be back here for tour! It's a really small tour actually, just Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Colorado, and Los Angeles.
When we arrive, I go straight to the changing and makeup tent. I sit down, greeting the hair stylists, models, and managers, then go check in. They wash and curl my hair, then put me in a mustard yellow bikini.
I got out a model, showing my angles that have the most tattoos. I'm gonna get a new one soon, maybe something on the back of my leg. I switch into about fifteen different suits dresses, and jumpers. It takes about six hours then we go back. The next place they have me fo is to a waterfall, when I model and do two quick commercials; one for water, and one of advertise the facility we are using.
The third day we go to a street which is for the most part empty, and they have me model skateboards; since I actually am a skater; well I haven't in a long ass time but... I even do a wheel trainer video, and do a ton of tricks, for Vans. I wear cute little outfits, but on hats, and they even give me some free gear and clothes. The day after; is my very last day, but it's the most memorable, and fun. I get to to a hundred different places.
"Okay honey" a lady smiles at me "But this on"
I put on the bright red Nike shorts, shoes, and black sports bra with a black Nike's hat. They have me do a bunch of different sports brands for different companies, where I run up and down the beach and shit trynna look sporty. Then I do bathing suits, and different combinations. The best one is wear I have curly hair, black bikini bottoms that only cover about half of my ass, then a blue hoodie. Then I'm grabbing my hair which makes the sweater come up and you can see the back of my top. When I'm done they have me put on dresses, bikini tops and long skirts, cute outfits, some fashion nova. I get to lay in a hammock, and sit on logs by trees. Then after five hours we're done with the beach and I get to go model bridal gear. I can already tell by how many different things I'm doing, the amount of money I will make.
I try on pretty rings; hand modeling, and while they're taking pictures of my hands, they also take pictures of high heels I'm modeling. I try on different dresses and hair pieces, and tons of different items. At the end of the day, I do home satisfied with the amount of work I have done.
The next two days from that, I spend, laying around in bed, really just having time to myself. I think, of Cole, of all the people along the way in my journey of life, how fast everything is flying by and how soon I will grow old. Part of me wants to back out, and join Cole in the sweet warm arms of the reaper. I think back to the days I didn't worshiping Bands and attending concerts. The simplicity of life before fame is something I crave, but the only thing I wanted back then was to be where I am now.
On the sixth day I flow out to Massachusetts, where I am met by all my friends, and though I geeet them cheerfully, something inside of me is missing. This feeling of emptiness is holding onto me tightly, and I can't shake it.
"Hey!" Grim opens the hotel door so I propose a smile and jump up
"Hey bestie" I wink, causing him to laugh "How've you been?"
"Alright" he smiles "How was modeling"
"Gorgeous" I giggle "It was so much fun!"
"I'm happy you had fun"
It's like I have so much fun all at one time that when I'm not doing anything, it all gets bad again. We sit down and chat a while, then Lyric prances on it.
"Hey mother fucker's!"
"Lee!" I smile, then pat my lap, which she comes and sits on
"Long time no see" she jokes
The last to arrive is Brandon, "Heyo"
We all gather and chill, then just order room service for the night, then tomorrow is our show.
