"Who's on right now?" Juliet asked as Alex took a few steps back and looked at the stage.

"Palaye Royale," she answered, turning her head back into its natural position and walking back to her previous spot.

"Lexie," Mai walked up to us, "where'd you put my drumsticks?"

"Oh," Alex slightly bent down up and pulled two Vic Firth drumsticks out of her left black clunky combat boot.

"Why did you— alright," Mai took the drumsticks from Alex's left hand and shrugged, walking back over to Raven.

"I have a random question," Juliet announced as Alex looked at her, waiting for the question.

"If you're a lefty, why don't you play a left handed guitar?"

She sighed, running her right hand through her short, firetruck red hair. "Why does everyone ask that," she groaned. "I learned how to play the ukulele with my right hand when I was twelve. That is all I can say," she shrugged, pulling her phone out of her left back pocket.

"...Anyways," Raven chimed into the conversation as I looked over to her. "You wanna go to McDonald's or something? We still have two hours before we go on," she offered.

"Sure, why not," I shrugged as we walked away. "Hey— I'm coming too!" Alex put her phone in her pocket and caught up to us, which wasn't that hard, since we were only about four feet away from her.

"Might as well get Mai and Juliet," I commented.

"We're on in two fucking minutes, this isn't okay," Alex paced back and forth until Raven grabbed her by the shoulders.

"And usually she's the confident one at concerts," Mai muttered to herself.

"Are you okay? We've done concerts before, Alex. It's the same except a fraction of them don't know our music," Raven chuckled as Alex ran her right hand through her hair.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm okay," she took a deep breath as Raven and Juliet exchanged looks, knowing that she was most likely lying.

"I mean, worse case scenario is that you slip up once or twice," Juliet stated, glancing over at the stage.

"Uh, guys," Mai pointed behind her at the stage.

Oh god, we have to go on stage now.

Oh god, we have to play now.

Oh god, I have to play bass now.

Oh god, I exist.

"Come on, I'm sick of holding your guitar," Juliet nudged Alex as Alex took her red telecaster guitar from Juliet. Juliet passed her own guitar from her left hand to her right, then putting the strap over her head.

"Jesus Christ this is gonna give me an anxiety attack," Alex exhaled, following suit of Juliet. We all walked away to go on stage, I was the last one.

Eh, either way I'll have fun I guess.

As right before I set foot on the stage, I heard someone say my name.

"(Y/N)?!"

I turned around to see Gerard.

Let me rephrase that; a completely and utterly confused Gerard Way.

Huh, red hair. Suits him.

"Uhh—" I looked back at the stage.

"I have to go on stage right now, I'll explain after," I sheepishly smiled at him, putting the strap of my bass over my head.

"What— okay?" He said as I looked back in front of me, walking onto the stage.

Well, Gerard's going to murder me after this.
