For What It's Worth..

-A new town, a new home.-

I was finally in Scranton. I stared at the scene before me, and I felt uplifted by the fact it reminded my of home. I turned off and headed towards the center of town.

Wait a minute. Suddenly remembering Chris and them were supposed to tell me where some hotels were. I slapped the steering wheel. “Fuck!” Pulling over, I put her in park, and dug out Chris’ number. Me here thinking I wouldn't actually have to text him this soon. I put his number in my phone, and text-ed him.

; Hey, sorry to bother you so soon. But I do believe you forgot to tell me where the hotels where? :)

I waited a short while before my phone started ringing. I looked at the number, to find out it was Chris calling. I clicked answer, confused. “Hey, whats up?”

“Hey, so you want to find Main Street, go all the way down until you find Wyoming Avenue; and that's where they all are.” “Why didn't you text me back, it would have been easier.” I gave a light laugh. I leaned over to my radio, and turned it down, Avenged Sevenfold’s Buried Alive was getting a little loud. “Sorry about the music.” I added.

“Don’t worry about it, and I thought it would be easier to just call.” He laughed. “And I wanted to ask a really big favor.” I squinted my eyes. “What’s that?”

I could hear him pause and say something to one of the guys. I heard a rustling sound, and a “Uh-, can you hold a sec?”

“Sure.” I heard more rustling, indication that he must have put the phone down. Shepherd of Fire came on next. I started tapping and humming lightly to the beat. A nagging pain shot down my back, “Ooouuucchhh..” Hissing the last letter. I leaned back and let my spine curve against the seat comfortably, and rubbed my arm, it was starting to itch something fierce from having new ink on it. I need to get out of this car soon. Worst part about driving long distance is how long you sit still. I heard movement on the phone, “Hey, you still there?” “Yep.” Straining myself back into a proper sitting position.

“So, about that favor..”

“Yesss.”

“Do you think you could drive us to my place?” My mind went blank for a few seconds. I opened my mouth and nothing came out, clearing my throat out, I found my voice was a pitch higher than normal, “What happened to your RV?”

“Oh, it’s at Ryans place, that’s where most of us are right now. It would only be me, Ricky and Balz. Ghost has gone on to his girlfriends place. We can give you gas money if you need it.” He sounded hopeful.
Resting my back will have to wait a little while longer. I let out a puff of breath. “Sure thing, send me the address.”

“Thank you so much, you really texted at the best possible time!”

“Alright, alright. I’ll be there in a few, kay?”

“See you soon.” “Bye.” I heard the line go dead. I checked my phone to see the address in my inbox, I clicked my GPS app, and entered it in; and then I was off to see the same people I thought I would never ever get to meet. A second time.

I pulled into Ryan’s driveway, not seeing anyone out in the yard. Turning my car off, I got out and clipped my keys to my jeans. I walked two steps, and stopped when I heard voices. “Hey, I think I heard Virginia’s car.” “Shit, really? That was fast.”

Yes, that would be moi. Baby is something to be reckoned with. I thought; proud of my car. I walked around to the back of the house, and saw the band conversing with who I assumed could have been Ryan’s relatives, and some of their friends. Ricky looked over and waved me over. I put my hands up, and shook my head all the while mouthing “No thanks.” I took a hasty retreat back to Baby.

My nerves were shot, it’s bad enough that I actually met one of my favorite bands; twice in one day too. I was surprised that I survived that, there was no way I would survive talking their friends without making a fool of myself. I’m way too shy for large unknown groups, not to mention how hard it is standing around Motionless in White. I don’t know how much longer I can keep my cool. I felt like every nerve was vibrating all at once, making me shake slightly.

I heard what sounded like a bark and a huff sound. I looked up and saw a dog in the window of the front door. Squinting my eyes, I tried to tell what kind of dog but before I even got the chance to register what breed, someone opened the door to let him or her out. It was a young purebred rottweiler, and he and or she was headed right for me.

“Aw, aren't you cute.” It stopped right at my feet and looked right up at me with big brown eyes. I could see it’s stubbed tail wagging happily. It let out a low bark, I just let it sniff me until it felt comfortable enough to let me pet it.

“Hey Virginia!” I looked over and saw Ryan coming over with a backpack and a guitar. “It seems you met Mishka.” “Yep, she’s a cutie.” Kneeling down so she could sniff my face, I loved animals; ever since I could remember. She started licking my face all over, so I slowly put my hand on her face and she nuzzled in under my chin, making cute low chortling noises. “Your such sweetie.” Giving her face a two hand rub, she took off running around the yard. Ryan and I watching her stop every so often to stick her butt in the air, showing us wagging stub tail.

“She likes you.” I turned and smiled. “This guitar is Rickys, do you mind if I put it in the trunk somewhere?” I nodded and walked over to my trunk to unlock it.

“Hey, there you are, Ricky said he saw you.” Chris came over with two suitcases of his own.

“He saw me alright.” I laughed. Ricky wasn't far behind, “Why didn't you come over?”

“Would you believe I’m actually really fucking shy. That and I didn't want to intrude.” Embarrassed; I pretended to have something to do with my bags in the trunk, moving them over to make room for the guys’ suitcases.

“But I waved you over, so you weren't actually intruding.” Ricky pointed out. I looked at him, “Well, I felt like I was. Besides it was awkward, I only met you today.” He shrugged, giving up on the subject, moving over to put his stuff in the trunk.

I however went back to playing with Mishka. Kneeling down slowly, I slapped my knees, hoping she would come over. She bolted over nearly knocking me on my backside. “Who's a good girl.” I wrapped my arms around her, giving her a hug. Chris knelt down beside me. “She sure does like you.” I smirked. “You make it sound as if she doesn't like people.” Ryan piped up, “Oh, she does, just doesn't get used to people that quickly.”

“Eh.” I shrugged. “What kind of purebred is she? American or German?” “I think German.”

“Sweet.” I looked over Mishka, who was currently getting a belly rub from Chris. “Do you think she knows German commands?”

Ryan shrugged, he helped Balz put his suitcase in the back of the car. I stood up, and called Mishka over. “Mishka, come here.” She jumped up and stood in front of me.

Summoning up my best German and hoping it I said it right, “Sitzen, Mishka.” Within two seconds of hearing the word, she sat down as fast as she could. “Gute Arbeit Mishka!” I tapped my leg allowing her to jump and get a hug. “Holy shit. You speak German?” Chris sounded amazed. “No.” I laughed. “Only basic German commands for dogs.” turning to Ryan. “She knows the commands by the way.”

“She sure does. I never seen her sit that fast before.”

“Well, to my knowledge, since rottweilers came from Germany. German is kinda like their first language they understand.”

“I think I heard that somewhere before, when we were in Europe for a tour.” Balz chimed in. “Yep. Anyway,” Looking over to Ricky as he closed the trunk of the car. “You guys ready to head out?”

“Shotgun!” the three of them shouted. I slapped my forehead. “I’ll let you guys sort it out.” Getting into the car and started it up. They all crowded together, and did Rock, Paper, Scissors. Rolling down my window, I asked. “Really guys?”

They didn't answer, too busy having a little war to see who sits up front. I put my hands behind my head and leaned back. Ryan leaned in on the window. “So, how do you like Scranton so far?” I turned to him, “It’s pretty great actually, it reminds me of home in a way. Bigger, but homey you know what I mean.”

“Yeah, that’s why I moved here awhile back. Most of us prefer somewhere quiet, but not too quiet.”

“I can relate to that.” “I win!” I heard Chris shout. Ryan and I looked over to the three of them. “Do they always do stuff like this?” I asked Ryan.

“Yeeep.” Making a pop sound at the end. “Cool.” They finally got in the car, Chris acting as if he won an award.

Ryan said. “Later guys, I’ll call you tomorrow or something.” “Later.”

Backing out the driveway, I waved at Ryan and Mishka, before stepping on the gas, headed towards Chris’ house.

It took me a good fifteen minutes getting there, we were in a busier side of town. The four of us chatted for awhile. When it a little too quiet for my taste I turned on my music, Disturbed came on; before I could help it, I started banging my head lightly. Disturbed has always been one of my favorite bands since a long time ago. I looked over beside me when I heard someone singing. Ricky and Chris were banging their heads and singing along with David Draiman. Balz was just lightly rockin.

At least we agree that its good music. I thought. “We’re here.” I looked around. “Up to that grey building.” I pulled up. It had quite the layout about it. Two stories, but it didn’t look all that big on the outside. I put Baby into park, “That’s your house?” I pointed at the building. “Yep.”

“Looks cozy.” Trying to get a better look at. “Yeah its only a two bedroom house, most of its the living room and the kitchen.”

“Do you guys need any help with your stuff or are you good?” I looked at Chris. “That’d be great.” Together we got managed to get everything inside in about five minutes. “Anyway I’m off.” Walking towards the door. “Thanks for the help, Virginia.” Balz waved goodbye. “No problem.” I had my foot out the door before I heard. “Hold on.” I heard Chris running downstairs. Waiting patiently, he took the stairs two at a time, jumping the last four, crossed the small foyer in one long stride; he pulled me in for a hug. “I forgot to give you something.”

Shocked, I almost forgot to return the hug. Putting my arms around him, I noticed he had changed into a new clean shirt. I felt the familiar tug of a blush coming to my face. I mentally tried to make it go away. “Um, thanks.” I laughed awkwardly. “Oh, don’t thank me yet.” He said pulling away.

I tilted my head slightly confused. I missed being close to him already.

“You’re staying here until you get yourself settled into town.”

I felt my jaw drop, “What.” My eyes felt like they were going to pop out of my head. “I couldn't impose like that. You guys are just getting back from a tour, and besides that it’s a two bedroom house. Where could I possibly fit myself in here without crowding everyone.” I blabbed out.

“You wouldn't be, and it’s my way of repaying you for helping us out in a tight spot.”

I scoffed. “I just gave you a drive. I don’t think that equals ‘here, I’m going to let you stay the night at my house and I just happen to be one of your favorite bands and this really doesn't make any sense at all.’ type of payback.”

I could almost hear the laughter in their heads that they were trying to hide externally. Ricky had to slap his mouth shut and walk out of the room.

I gave my best angry look I could manage, but failed to manage that, so a simple “Shut up.” was the best I could do with what I had.

“Please. I actually have one other room. These guys are only staying here until they get picked up by their friends in a day or so.”

I sighed. “Alright, fine.” It was no use arguing. I wouldn't have won that one, even if I tried.
