I Was All For You.

“How long did our forever last?
Guess it never meant anything to you,
But this is the last time,
The last time I come across your brutal truth.

Hostility was never an option,
You were in full force.
Full control of my love, but not anymore.
No, not anymore

With your every step,
My world kept breaking.
Shattering like everything we had.
But not anymore, no, not anymore.”
Roars came from the crowd as I finished my riff for Evolution Of Us, our last song of the set. The smile on my face grew immediately as I spotted Austin on Denny’s side, clapping with a grin. Because both of our schedules were busy, neither of us had seen the other since the party. Okay, that was only a day ago but it was still a long time for us.

“Nel, you crazy ass bitch!” He shouted and collected me in his arms after Chase had closed the set. Spinning me around one more time, Austin handed us all slips of laminated card.

“Dude, what the fuck are these?” Denny squealed.

“Two words: Salt Lake City and clubbing.”

“That’s five words,” I interjected. All four males glared at me before joining in a group hug. A raised eyebrow was needed indeed. Just as we all decided to shower and then group up again, Austin dragged me to the side.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” I stared at him, completely puzzled. “About a certain Kent.”


“Oh,” I breathed as he rolled his eyes, “It’s nothing. Just dinner or something, no need to fret.”

“Okay. One, shut the fuck up. And two, you are going to call him and tell him to come with us.”

“But-"

“Go.” Muttering under my breath, I slumped towards my bus in defeat. God damn boys. The bus was pretty much unoccupied so it was okay for me to have a shower without a bunch of perverts watching my every move. I slithered my way to bathroom after collecting a towel on the way and stripped myself of the clothes that clung to my body. A blast of cold water hit my skin, refreshing every ounce of flesh.

Following after my relaxingly cold shower, was the outfit picking. Wanting to keep it simple, I chose a thin-strapped, black dress that stopped mid-thigh with lace on the chest line and a pair of plain Chuck Taylor’s. Sliding on a new collection of rings, I texted Kent after he sent me a simple Hey.

To Kent:
Hey. The guys, some other bands and I are going to some club. I have a spare VIP tag if you wanna come?

From Kent:
Yeah, definitely. What’s the address of the club?

To Kent:
155 West 200 South SLC. Meet us OM&M’s bus at 9.

From Kent:
Can’t wait. :)

With that, I turned off my phone and shoved it in my black shoulder clutch. Just as I applied another layer of eyeliner, the door swung open only to reveal the culprit was Austin dressed in a black shirt and jeans.

“Look who’s wearing a dress!”

“Shut up before I crush your balls and replace your eyes with them. Plus, it’s the only clubby thing I own.”

“Well, I think you look perfect. Even with those God forsaken shoes.”

I giggled. “What’s the time?”

Aus stared down at his watch before finally answering. “9.04pm.”

“Shit, Kent’s meeting us at your bus.” Muttering other things along the lines of I can’t believe you made me invite him, I pulled Austin to his bus where ATL, PTV, ADTR, BMTH, the rest of OM&M, Kent and some other crew members or techs. Kent grinned, jogging up to us.

“Hey, Nelly. You look... Amazing.” His words made me blush, but I quickly hid that by pinching my arm.

“Um, thanks.” He nodded and a silence fell upon us as I shifted my weight from one leg to the other. Well this is awkward. Suddenly someone pinched my sides causing me to squeal. I was prepared to snap at whoever made me do the embarrassing gesture, but what I saw was someone I was not prepared to see. Grasping Tay in a bone-crushing hug, we jumped up and down earning odd stares from people.

“What are you doing here?”

“We were offered, and I couldn’t turn down seeing my home girl!” She exclaimed, waving her arms around with exasperation. Just then, I remembered Kent was standing next to me, probably thinking we’re utter psychos.

“Uh, Tay, this is Kent. Kent, this is Tay.”

“Hi,” She said and smiled lightly at him. “Nel, I gotta’ show you something.”

“Okay. Uh, I’ll catch you before we go, Kent.” Again, he nodded and turned to talk to a tech about God knows what.

“Why the fuck were you talking to that?” She tried not to laugh but that only ended with both of us in a fit of giggles. “C’mon, Nel, seriously?”

“What? He’s a nice guy.”

“Hey, Nel,” Someone I soon realised was Rian, interrupted, “Kent’s meant to be your date right?” Not knowing where he was going with this, I cautiously nodded. “Then why was he saying how hot Tay was to Vinny and I?”

“That little son of a bitch.” Another unexpected person mumbled. Tay, Rian, and I turned around to see pissed off Austin. Why the fuck is everyone listening to our God damn conversation? Jesus.
