Only Stars Shine In The Dark

Chapter six - Reckless behavior

"That's it I'm leaving!" Max screamed at me enraged once I failed to tell all about my night with MGK.

"Max this isn't fair just give me sometime to explain" I pleaded.

"Explain what Riley? How you gave thirty guys at the bar a peep show and your little friends cheered you on? It was a mistake letting you out of my sight, now I have to explain to my friends why my GIRLFRIEND is all over TWITTER acting like a STRIPPER."

"Letting me out of your sight? Max I'm a grown ass women even if you didn't "co-sign" my plans for the night it was still going to happen."

Thanks to his big mouth sister Sarah, Max was at my throat about the Def Leppard stunt. In my defense I didn't realize just how into the moment I actually was upon seeing it with my own eyes.
"Dude she could have been in the music video" Sarah's husband gawked earning him a slap on the wrist.

"We're not kids anymore Riley, there is no breaking up and getting back together so you better think long and hard about the decisions you make or I'm out."

And with that he left storming out of the house leaving me to my thoughts. I let out a heavy sigh and plopped down onto the couch, to my right there was a fresh can of beer "perfect." Cracking the seal open with my teeth I guzzled down all of the contents in the can, giving the four glasses of wine in my system a little boost.

Just as I was about to nod off to sleep my phone lit up with a FaceTime call.

"Ahhh there she is"

His bright smile and beautiful blonde hair instantly lifted my spirits, and suddenly the turmoil from the day didn't even matter.
"Have you been crying?"

My smile faded as I quickly tried to clean up the smeared makeup from my under eyes "it's nothing" I lied.

"Alright everybody get the fuck out I need some privacy we go on in 15 I'll be there... you too You British fuck."

Once he rounded everyone up they exited the room and sat the phone down on table facing him. He grabbed the RAW tray and started to rollup a spliff "you didn't have to do that" I said.

"Yes I did your sad and clearly intoxicated I want to know what's going on Cash."

"Max and I got into a fight over that stupid video of me dancing on top of the bar, god how could I be so reckless" it was hard for me to fight back the tears.

Growing up I wasn't always so vulnerable in fact I was a jerk who picked fights with everyone.
"Don't cry Cash you weren't being reckless it was fun, if your were my babygirl I'd be up there dancing with you every night. Cash this is a classic case of the jealous boyfriend, you got to party with Motley Crue he's just mad it wasn't him."

I laughed a bit and nodded my head in agreement he was right "sometimes I just get in my head and make things worse ya know?"

"Girl I wrote a song about it"

We talked for a while longer until he finished his spliff, and made me promise to clean myself up and get something to eat. My appetite was non existent earlier but now It was here and present I'm starving "I promise to order the largest cheese pizza on the menu, now go perform the fans are waiting!"

"Shit I wish you were here waiting for me too"

"Colson Baker your fans are waiting and who knows you might meet another rocker chick that's wants to party" I teased.

"Yeah right I've been around the whole world twice, the only girl that's gotten my attention so far is you. But before they break down my dressing room door, I better go I'll shoot you a text in a little while with pictures and videos from the show. Later gorgeous."

"Hi I'd like an extra large cheese pizza, extra cheesy and a side of buffalo wings... yes the twenty piece."

——————————————————————————

"Colson what the fuck are you doing man!" Dom screamed shoving an ear piece in my chest.
"I'm sorry man Riley was in trouble"

"In trouble?" He gasped stopping dead in his tracks and I couldn't help but to smile from the look of concern on his face.

"Her boyfriend was pissed when he seen the videos of her dancing at the ba-" he cut me off.

"I swear mate I'll fucking spark him in his jaw if he harmed one hair on head, I will kill him personally and smile in my mug shot. Fuck Colson we should have just asked her to come and tour with us."

"He didn't touch her or I wouldn't even be standing here right now bro, but you are definitely on too something we'll talk more about it after the show."
