Ricky POV
I wanted to punch him. Hell better yet I wanted to hit him with my guitar but I won't cause I'll hurt my guitar.
I pulled out a cigarette and lit up as I watched him be an asshole to everyone. Was even being short with fans all day. Really dude were in a band! Without the fans we are literally nothing.
"Could you maybe move your ass!". He spat at me. He was going to fucking hear it from me as soon as we stepped on the bus. I shit you not.
When the bus started rolling I decided it was time to speak my mind as I put out my cig. "What is your fucking problem! You've been such a dick lately". Balz saw me opening my mouth and turned around whistling like he saw nothing. "I don't have a problem but apparently you think I do!". "Ya I do! Your being a dick to fans, an asshole to your band mates and walking around with a stick up your ass. She is gone. Get the hell over it. You had every chance to be with her and you screwed it. Pushing her away and then sucking face with my girlfriend... Even worse her best friend. Who the hell does that!". I barked at him. "What makes you think your any better! You fell in love with her too when you were dating her best friend and your best friend liked her!". That cut me deep. "First off I didn't fall in love with her. She was like my family to me. I never had those feelings for her. All I ever wanted was for her was to be with you!". He chuckled and I lost it, tackling him to the ground. "Your so blind! She loved you! That poor girl was in love with you and didn't stand a chance and I can't believe you hurt her after she had been hurt for years before you! Your so self centered!". "Fuck you Ricky! I don't need your opinions or your shit!". He tossed me off of him. "Your just pissed cause I'm right. You fucked up. Big time. Not to mention you broke the girls poor heart! Do you not give a shit!". He flipped me off and walked to his bed. "Relax Ricky, nothing we can do now. Just got to make it threw this and maybe things will be alright after some time off". Poor Balz was caught in the middle, hell everyone was.
"I don't know man... This keeps up you may need to find a new guitarist". His mouth dropped a little. "Don't quit. It will be fine. I promise dude". God I hoped so.
Chris POV
Fuck him! Seriously fuck him. I get it, I fucked up but he doesn't understand the fucking half of it. And as for Autumn, she fucking threw herself at me but no one will believe me. She kissed me, it's not like I fucked her on the bus floor.
Should I have pushed her off right when she did it? Yes. Did I ? No. So yes I'm wrong in that area.
God damn it! I didn't want to hurt Shelby and I still hurt her! I tried pushing my feelings away because she didn't need someone like me in her life and yet I fall in love with her. Now Ricky and I were fighting non stop. This sucked. I really don't know how we're going to make it threw the tour alive. To make things worse Ricky and I had an interview tomorrow and a photo shoot.
*****
Ricky POV
The interview was going kind of smooth and was almost over, thankfully. Felt like they get longer and longer but still ask the same questions. It was kind of nice that we were back home for a couple days before heading off again, I could escape Chris for a little bit and cool off.
We had started the individual photo shoot part and I heard a voice in the distance. A voice I knew all too well. I looked around but couldn't see her. I saw a girl dress in a black dress and high heels start to walk down the hallway. Couldn't be her. "I need a smoke break". The photographer pressed her lips into a hard line. "Well alright, I can shoot someone else's for now then ". I dashed off as fast as I could to find her without people wondering what was going on. I caught up to her and walked behind her but noticed that her tattoo arm was no longer there. How do you just get rid of that many tattoos? And she was wearing a dress, she never would have worn a dress.... Ever. She opened a door and walked outside. I waited a minute before opening the door. She had her back against the brick wall smoking a cigarette. I pulled one out from my pocket as I watched her stare up at the rain cloud. "Got a light?". She jumped slightly. "Ya I..". She stopped and handed me the lighter. Her face was totally pale as I handed back the lighter. We stood their in silence until I couldn't take it. "Shelby...". She closed her eyes and swallowed hard. "That's not my name. My name is Allie..". She tossed her butt on the ground and put it out with her heel. She reached for the handle and stopped as I grabbed her hand. "Shelby I know it's you...". She opened her mouth but said nothing as she walked inside.
Holy fuck.
I tossed my butt out and walked inside to the others. "Balz come here". He walked out. "What's up?". Should I tell him?. "I've got something to tell you... But don't tell Chris ok?". He gave me a weird look and nodded. "Shelby is here". "What the f-". "Shut up! Ssh. I just ran into her outside having a cigarette but when I confronted her, she said her name was Allie". He raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure it was her then?". "Positive. She went white as a ghost when she saw me". "Maybe looking at you just scared her". I grunted. "Damn it Balz!".
Allie POV
"Fuck that Megan! I don't want to!". She looked pretty serious. "This is YOUR job! You do what I ask you and I'm asking you to take van and follow behind the band so you can record them on their journey along with other bands at northern festival and if you don't do it, your fired. Simple as that". I bit my tongue before saying anything more. "Understood. I'll go". She walked off". Fucking lovey.
Chris POV
I just finished with my part of the shoot and we were almost done. A really short women with red hair and really fat hands walked up. "Thank you for everything. I'm Megan, the one that is in charge of everything including the shoot. I wanted to thank you personally to let you know you will be the cover of the magazine next month along with a story we hope to get from you about the northern invasion tour that your playing". I went to say something and she cut me off. "I was wondering if one of our journalists could tag along, in her own van of course, and get a interview from you after you play and record part of your performance on stage". "That would be fine". She smiled. "We'll let me introduce you to Allie". I heard Balz and Ricky whispering behind me.
A girl in a black dress and heels turned around and started heading my way. She looked so fucking familiar but she couldn't be Shelby. She was missing tattoos, her hair wasn't the same color and I didn't think Shelby would know what a dress is. But as she walked closer and was face to face with me I realized it was her. You can't forget a face you saw for months and a face you saw orgasm a dozen times. She went white as ghost and all of the color drained from her face. "This is-". "Shelby?". Megan looked at her then back at me. "I'll give you a minute". She walked off and I had a wave of emotions come over me. "Shelby....what..". She crossed her arms angrily. "My name is Allie". "What?". How could her name be Allie? This was my Shelby, I knew it. "Stop. What are you talking about? Your name is Shelby". "Maybe I'm just a doopleganger of someone you use to know". This was fucking with my head and I was getting angry. "Knock it off I know it's you!". "Listen, my name is Allie and my boss wants me to tag along behind you and I don't want any problems, I just want to do my job". Ricky came over to me and so did Balz. "Let it go dude". "We'll see you here in three days when we leave". She nodded and walked off.
"I'm not fucking crazy right? I'm not the only one that thinks that's Shelby right!". I was mad as fucking hell. Ricky lit up a cigarette and shrugged his shoulders. "Ya but she obliviously isn't or it is her and she wants nothing to do with us... Just forget about it".
He just didn't get it.
