It's almost easy...

I cringed a little bit when Roxy yelled at Jimmy for something backstage before we went up for sound check. The poor guy is copping it more and more lately, but I guess he is the one that put Roxy in her current situation, so he kinda deserves it. We’ve all been avoiding her where we can. It sounds cruel, but we’ve moved into the States and it’s getting hotter and hotter as we go along. It sucks for us, but it has to be ten times worse for her. Jimmy, Bri and Zacky seem to be the only ones that can calm her down when she’s grumpy, as long as they’re not the one she’s grumpy at to begin with, and me, Johnny, the Berry’s and Nathan are more than happy to leave it to them.

“Synacky! Get over here and get your fucking guitars!” she snapped and I watched her stomp towards us and stop at the guitar rig.

Brian practically ran over there to avoid any further yelling. Zacky trailed after him, but slower, and I heard him mumble to himself as he passed me.

“I wonder what the fuck Gigantor did now.”

I watched the both of them interact with her, and within a matter of minutes, she was sobbing into Brian’s shoulder and Zacky was rubbing circles on her back. Poor girl. It can’t be easy being a tech when you’re 6 months pregnant, that’s for sure.

“Is she ok?” I asked them when they came back over.

“She’ll be alright I think. She’s just really tired and apparently Gigantor’s being an idiot.” Brian explained.

“Ha! What’s new?” I chuckled and Zacky grinned in agreeance.

“She had a cry. She should be fine until the show.” Zacky added.

“I hope so. I feel bad for her in this heat.” I frowned and we went on with our sound check.

The show went off without a hitch, and we decided to celebrate afterwards…well, tried to.

“Who’s staying with me and Taylor?” Roxy asked and we all kinda stopped in our tracks.

“Really?” Jimmy asked, and the boy is gonna get yelled at again.

“Yes really. I can’t get out of bed by myself anymore let alone lift her to help her. You either stay here, or you don’t go at all.” she told us and frowned.

“That’s not fair!” Jimmy cried, completely ignoring Zacky waving him off madly from behind Roxy.

“You know what’s not fair James? The fact that you can go out and celebrate and have fun, but I have to stay here with my sore back and swollen ankles and a grumpy toddler to take care of. Add to that the fact I’m pregnant with your child, I'm the size of a house, I’m breaking out, and just standing here in the air conditioning is making me sweat. So please….tell me what’s fair again. I dare you.” she snapped and Jimmy actually went to reply. Roxy lunged at him, and had Brian not been in the way, she probably would have tackled Jimmy to the floor.

“Gigantor, you have a death wish. Seriously. Go outside for a second.” Brian said to him and he frowned, yet did what he was told. “You sit.” He told Roxy and helped her sit on the couch. “Is it ok if we stay here and drink?” he asked her after a second and she thought about it before nodding. “Are you sure? We don’t wanna disturb you if you sleep or anything.” he pressed and she looked up. She looks very close to tears and is probably hating that she just had an outburst.

“You can drink here…..I’m just being irrational.” she mumbled and Brian laughed at her.

“Sweetie, you’re pregnant. You’re pretty much allowed to be.” he said and she smiled a little bit. “I’m gonna go yell at Gigantor for you. Z, and the others will get you whatever you need ok?” he half cooed and again she nodded. He left and she turned to us.

“Do you want a drink or something sweetie?” I asked her.

“Yes please. Vanilla Coke if we have any left.” she muttered and I moved off to get it for her.

“Roxy don’t cry! It’s not your fault he’s an idiot.” Zacky was consoling when I came back with the drink.

“Yeah I know but…I feel bad. I don’t wanna be yelling at him.” she hiccupped and took the drink from me. “Thank you Matty.” she sniffled and I smiled at her.

“No problems honey. Anything else you need?” I asked and she shook her head.

“How bout you go to the back lounge and you can watch a movie or something?” Zacky cooed, and seriously? When did he get so mushy?

I took her drink for her and Zacky got her settled on the back lounge couch with the remote in reach and put her drink in the cup holder next to her.

“Will she be ok?” I asked as we headed back to the front lounge and kitchen.

“Yeah she’ll be alright.” he sighed. “Probably a good thing we’ve got a day off coming soon though.” he chuckled.

“Amen.” I agreed and then Syn, Jimmy, the Berry’s and Nathan came up the steps almost all at once. “Let’s drink!” I cried and was met with a cheer.
