"So you seem a little down. Whats wrong?"
"Well.... All this started a few years ago....."
After I tell Matt what happened he stays quiet. Then he looks at me and says,
"But if your cousin really likes that Ryan dude then I think that Ronnie is gonna be around."
"Damn I didn't think about that. Ugh what am I gonna do now?"
"How about I take you to my best friend Jimmy and he can keep your mind off of this."
"Okay. Thanks"
I follow Matt to a big crowd of people. All I hear is,
"And that's why they call him Skippy!"
And abunch of people laughing. 'Da fuq?'
"Hey Jimmy come over here!"
Matt yells. The guy that was talking before the laughter appears and it's The Rev!
"Yeah Matt?"
"Meet my new friend Nikki. She needs to hear your Skippy joke. Maybe out on the patio where it's quieter.."
"Come on then Nikki."
Jimmy grabs my wrist and pulls me. He opens a sliding to where I guess is the backyard. We walk out and I see my cousins fence. So it is the backyard. We sit down. And he jumps right into his joke.
Ronnie's POV
We all head over to Sapphire's house so Ryan can have more time with Sapphire. I wish I could see Nikki and tell her about the article. The house next to Sapphire's house is blasting music. Im guessing a party. Then a guy comes out of the house and waves at sapphire.
"Hey Zacky! Whats going on!?"
He walks over to us and I see Ryan tense up.
"The guys and I were hanging out and Jimmy wanted a party today. So they decided my house and here we are. Would you and your friends like to come?"
"Sure. And guys this is Zacky V from Avenged Sevenfold. My neighbor and Zacky this is Falling In Reverse. Ronnie, Ryan, Derek, Mika and Jacky."
Zacky nods and turns around and starts walking back to his house Sapphire starts following and I trail behind everyone else.
Nikki's POV
Jimmy is so funny. Im attempting not to like die from laughter. But with Jimmy here that's too complicated. Jimmy is like an older brother. Even though I just met him.
"So why we're you a little down earlier?"
"Well this guy Ronnie is in town. We were friends but he said in an interview he doesn't want to hang out with the people he used to hang out with because they are all losers. So I left and I'm upset about it because I like him more then a friend."
There's knocking on the sliding door. I turn and see Matt. He opens the door and says,
"Jimmy I need you right quick. Just stay here Nikki he will be back."
I nod and Jimmy gets up and walks to the door. I look at the moon it's so beautiful. I hear the door open 5 minutes later.
Ronnie's POV
I walk in after a little. This one guy comes up to me.
"Are you Ronnie?"
"Yeah."
"I'm Matt. You know Nikki?"
"Yeah why?"
"What would you say if I can get you some time to talk to her?"
"I'd be happy. But how?"
"I know where she is. But one thing that you have to say is about that interview. What happened?"
"Well I was talking about my old friends and band mates. But I didn't clarify that."
"Just tell her that. Tell her how you actually feel."
'Does it really show?'
"Yeah it shows. Come on. Lemme just get Jimmy out of the way so you can talk to her."
"Jimmy?"
"My best friend she seemed down and he can make anyone laugh. Don't worry he's married and he's just like a brother to everyone who doesn't hate him."
I nod and follow him through a bunch of people then we reach a sliding door. Matt knocks on the door.
"Jimmy I need you right quick. Just stay here Nikki he will be right back."
Jimmy comes inside and Matt says,
"This is Ronnie."
"Dude you really need to fix this. She really likes you and that article just broke her."
"Damn. But how?"
"Just tell her what you ment to say."
"You sure it'll work?"
They both nod and push me toward the door.
Sophie's PoV
I have no idea where everybody went but I'm chilling with Ryan eating some food. Then Zacky comes up to us.
"Sup Zacky?"
"Just here to say hey. You having funn?"
"Yeah. Thanks for inviting us."
"Welcome. So how's Coraline?"
"Great. Icky done running out of the house?"
"For now he is."
We laugh a little. I look down at my food to get another bite of pizza. I look up at Zacky again.
"So you know if my cousin is here?"
"Yeah she is. She came in with Matt after his trip to get more beer and tacos. I think she's with Jimmy right now."
I nod and know she's gonna love Jimmy like a brother. I turn around to get my Coka-Cola. Nikki and I aren't allowed to drink for a little while until our parole officer says we can. We have a parole officer because of an accident that happened it Walmart last year. Don't ask! But Nikki has gone a long time since she last had a parole officer. I wonder why she dramatically changed. But I haven't had a chance to ask her because we've both been busy.
"Boo!"
Someone yells making me jump 50 ft in the air.
Nikki's PoV
I hear the door open and I turn around to see Ronnie. 'Damn'
"Nikki look I'm sooooooo sorry. What I said was more toward ETF and the drug addicts and drug dealers I use to hang with. I want you in my life please. I need you in my life. I really love you and I want to know if you'd be my girlfriend."
'Damn he has to do this to me? But I can't just let him off after all that he did to me. I never let anyone get off. I'll be his friend and wait to be his girlfriend. If he deserves it. I hope he does.'k
"Look I never let anyone off for anything so I'll be your friend unless you deserve to be my boyfriend."
He looks a little sad but he nods. We walk to the door and Ronnie try's to open it but its lock. How to get out?
Wait theres gotta be a gate it's probably locked but I've learned how to jump fences taller then me.
"Wait there's a gate follow me." I say walking down the stairs of the patio. I walk down the right side of the fence toward the house. I was right about the gate but this is a tall ass gate. I move toward it and start climbing I get to the top and jump over I make it perfectly on my feet. I turn around and see Ronnie a little surprised. Haha if only he knew all the shit that happened to me after that HUGE accident. I can't say of it because it's such a big impact on me was so bad.
"You coming or are you just gonna stay there staring?"
I joke. He shakes outta the shockedness and starts climbing.
"Don't fall."
"Haha. Thanks for the faith that I'm not gonna fall."
"Welcome!"
He jumps down and lands right next to me. I start walking to the front door. We walk in and I see Sophie, Ryan, and Zacky by the table. Sophie isn't paying attention because she's eating. While Zacky and Ryan are giving each other deathglares. She looks up and continues talking. She turns around and I decide to scare her. I walk up to them and because the guys are too busy giving each other deathglares they don't notice me.
"Boo!"
She jumps 50 feet in the air. I just start laughing. She turns around and starts running after me. After awhile I look back and see Sophie after me, Ronnie after me and Ryan and Zacky fighting each other and chasing all of us. LML!
