Musicians Tale

violet

I sat in the back of the studio with my cigarette in my hand, as I lay back in the computer chair. The violet lighting calmed me down but sadness had over taken me. My hat lay across my head as I close my eyes. My mind flooded with the thoughts of myself overdosing on Xanax. Welcome to the mind of Tara Blanc, niece of Marilyn Manson. Yes, you heard that correctly. The psychopath that runs across the stage singing his heart out about the worst things possible. It is pretty cool being his niece, getting to tour around with my uncle is pretty cool. I did that a lot stuff when I was little, maybe 11. Manson's band mates helped me learn guitar at 11 on tour and ever since I had been playing. I have always thought of Marilyn as the father I never had. My whole family is a bunch of musicians. My mom played bass, then she got addicted to cocaine and went into rehab when I was 10. So, I had finished out my childhood living with Marilyn. He gave me some of the best experiences I could have ever asked for. When I was 18, I moved out to a secluded woods, but Marilyn always checked up on me.

I sighed sitting back farther in the chair, almost falling asleep in my chair. I deeply inhale on my cigarette. I heard footsteps coming towards me but I just waited to be bothered. I smelled the sweet vanilla cologne come into range. Axel. The bassist of the band and the best friend. A gentle hand rubbed my arm. "Tara?"His gentle voice rang. I sat up, and placed my hat on my head. "Oh geez, sorry." I said and Axel just smiled. "It's okay, your phone is ringing. It's Terrance." He said and I nodded. I got up from the comfy chair and stretched. I placed the cigarette in my mouth and walked over to the phone and answered."Tara speaking." I said and leaned against the wall. "Hey Tara, I got some good news. Mind putting me on speaker?" He said. "Get your asses over here now!" I said annoyed. Everyone came over and I put the phone on speaker. "Alright, you're live!" I said and walked over to stand by Axel. Jake stood by the door and Gage sat on the ground. "Perfect, well does everyone know who Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson and Palaye Royale?" His voice rang through the phone. I immediately sat up, my uncle. Everyone hummed in response. "Well, I just got off the phone with Marilyn and he wants you all to join him on his newest tour!" Terrance said and I was immediately picked up off the ground by Jake. Smiles plastered all over our faces. "When do we leave?" Gage said with a smirk. "Next week on Monday. I already have all flights booked because I am such an amazing manager." Terrance spoke and at that point I just wanted to hug Terrance. "Where are we traveling to?" I said and everyone looked at me. "Well it is a world wide tour so." He spoke and everyone screamed. This was it. After working extremely hard for 3 years, we finally did it. Our first world tour.

After we finished the call with Terrance, we decided to have a party at Axel's place. We all went to our own apartments to get ready and to invite some friends. I didn't have anyone to invite because my band mates are my only friends so I was alone on that one. I walked out the studio doors with a smile. My Black Jeep Wrangler came into view as I pulled out my keys and opened the door. I plugged in my phone to the aux and pulled up Instagram. I smiled seeing some new fan art some of my fans had drawn for me. I posted them on my story and then went to my music app. I looked up Palaye Royale so I could see who I was touring with. I clicked on "Boom Boom Room Side A" and let it play. I started driving down the road. The traffic was slow so I made it home quickly. I went up the elevator to my apartment. As soon as I hit my door, one song in particular started playing. "Too Many People" Was the songs name. I found myself humming to the song as I fiddled for my keys. I finally found the key and unlocked the door. The smell of vanilla instantly hit me.
