I walked over to my vanity, and sat down. I sighed. "Good job, Radke. You came back to the same shithole you left." I grabbed a babywipe, and started to scrub off my makeup. Ronnie was in my doorway.

"Breakfast is ready. I'm going to pick up Max soon, so if you wanna walk, you better hurry." "Okay, I'll be down in a bit." I decided to only wear mascara and eyeliner today. I took a quick shower, and dried my hair, leaving it curly. I pulled up my bangs and looked in the mirror. "Damn, Radke. Looking good!" I winked at myself, and laughed.

I walked over to my closet, and put on a Alesana shirt, and a pair of shorts. I slipped my Toms on, and popped in a pair of gauges that had mustaches on them. I walked downstairs, and grabbed a bagel. I looked at Ronnie, and we grabbed our bookbags & left.

We hopped in his black Ford Fiesta, and I popped in Black Veil Brides and started singing. "This is a Rebel Love Song!" Ronnie laughed at me. "I've missed you, Cal. I really did." I turned the song off. I sighed. "I missed you too.. I just wish things didn't end the way they did." "Dad got too out of hand, I understand. I've wanted to leave myself a few times. I lived with Max for awhile." He pulled into Max's driveway, Max ran out. "Hey Ronald and Callie!" "Hey Maxie." I just sat there, thinking.

Max got into the backseat, and lit a cigarette. "My mom was bitching hardcore this morning. I almost screamed at her to shut the fuck up." Ronnie sighed. "Dude, be respectful. Callie's in the car." He took his cigarette, and threw it out the window. I smiled. "Thanks Ron." "Welcome sweetie." We pulled out his driveway, and made our way to school.

I was watching Max in the mirror. He was playing with his lip ring. I smiled. He was adorable. He reminded me of myself. Next thing I knew, Ronnie was in my face. "Callie, what the fuck?" "Oh sorry, I was thinking." I grabbed my bookbag. Max opened the door for me. "You look pretty today, Callie." I smiled. "Thanks, Max." I walked to my first class. I couldn't wait until lunch to see the guys again.
