Backstage at the Jingle Bell Bash show. To most girls, this must be a dream come true to meet the pop-punk band All Time Low, but for me, this was like waiting for my death sentence. It wasn't like I didn't like the band. The band was really good when they performed. It was just Zack that annoyed the hell out of me. There was something about him that I wanted to destroy. He violated me by kissing me and he thought I liked it, but I didn't. I hated that his soft lips crashing against mine…wait. Did I say soft lips? I meant rough, disgusting lips that never meant to touch mine. I didn't let any guy do that to me, even if they were rock stars. Not one guy. I guess I was happy I won the passes since Lily was happy. She couldn't stop moving, which was the same to the other eight girls who were in the room.
This setting was intimate. There was no table or anything like that, except a back drop where there was going to be pictures taken. That meant I was able to watch from the sidelines on what was happening instead of being a part of it. I was able to avoid Zack.
"Okay, guys, I mean girls," the security announced. "I want you guys to make room for the band to enter."
All the girls started screaming as the band make their way in the room. The guys came in smiling and waving at us. I tried to keep a low profile, but that didn't work. I was the only one who was sane within the crazy group of girls who surrounded me. Zack saw me and smirked. He whispered something to the guitarist and laughed. Zack winked at me and signaled me to call him. I was going to give him the finger, but I stopped myself. That wouldn't be ladylike of me.
"Hey everyone!" The lead singer greeted.
I turned to Lily. "What's his name?" I whispered.
"That Alex. The drummer is Rian, the guitarist is Jack and you obviously know your man," she giggled.
I rolled my eyes. "You are so lucky I decided to…"
"You guys are up!" Rian grinned.
I looked up and saw the room completely empty. I didn't realize there were only a few people so that was why they were able to get them all.
I pushed Lily to go in front of me as we walked up to the band.
"Hey," Alex greeted.
Lily was starstruck so I had to do all the talking. "Hey," I smiled. "Sorry about my friend, Lily. She's lost for words. She loves you guys."
"What about you?" Jack asked. "Don't you love us, too?" he playfully pouted.
Not all of you. "Yeah, you guys are cool."
Zack walked up to me. "Do you remember me?"
My eyes narrowed. "Yeah, I remember you. You're the douche who kissed me so you could hide away from your fan girls."
"Whoa," Alex reacted. "I didn't know you two had a past together."
"Excuse me, but me and him never had a past," I moved my hair out of my face. "He was an accident."
"My favorite accident," Zack grinned.
I rolled my eyes. "Is it okay if we can take a picture?"
Alex nodded. "Maybe I'll have your friend stand by me while you stand by your favorite person," Lily, who was still in shock, stood between Alex and Rian while I stood between Zack and Jack. I felt Zack's arm around me. I tried to shrug it off, but his hand was like glue.
"Just relax," Zack whispered in my ear. "I won't hurt you." After the light from the camera flashed, I punched Zack in the groin.
"But I will," I pulled Lily out of the room and ran outside. I heard Zack yelling.
"Get her!" he yelled.
Lily and I ran outside the venue into the parking lot. We went inside the car and drove off.
"I can't believe you did that," Lily laughed. "You need some anger management, honey."
"I don't care," I drove around Downtown. "Do you want to go to that one 18 and over club near the waterfront? I don't want to go home yet."
"Sure, I don't feel like going home either."
Finally I could push away all of my problems...no more Zack.
Jenny really has some anger issues. The next chapter will be up hopefully very soon. Thanks for reading!
