Have You Ever Felt In Love?
...June 2009
“I swear every time I see you, your hair is a different color.” Jimmy laughs as I walk up to them backstage. I just laugh as I pull him into a hug. “You’re getting as bad as Zack.”
“Her hair looks better than mine anyway.” Zacky laughs before pulling me away from Jimmy and into a hug of his own. “You’ve got to tell me your secret.”
“Condition, baby!” I tell him as I pull away. “How are you guys? It’s been so long since I’ve talked to you guys. Sure I talk to Luna but not you assholes. You never text back.”
“Bro code.” Brian simply says before nudging his head in the direction of Matt and his girlfriend; the same brunette from last summer. “He figures that if we don’t talk to you or about you that you don’t exist.”
A humorless chuckle, “figures. I did nothing wrong, you guys know that right?”
“You slept with him then bounced and iced him.” Johnny reminds me.
“If you grew up in the life I grew up in, you’d understand why I bolted.” I tell them. “Fear is a bitch. I’ve seen too many happy relationships nearly ruined or ruined by the road. I shouldn’t have had slept with him; I should have had kept my feelings in check. I’m sorry for whatever pain I caused him or you guys. I’m learning not all rock stars are like the ones I’m related to or grew up with on the road.”
“Luna mentioned you’re dating a rock star now, huh?” Jimmy smirks. “Anyone we know?”
“Michael Poulsen from Volbeat.” I smile. Even at the mention of his name I still manage to have butterflies fluttering in my stomach.
“What does James have to say?” Brian asks. “I’m sure he’s not happy his daughter is dating someone that’s basically another version of himself.”
“He’s not happy about the 8 year age gap but he’s happy that Michael makes me happy.” I reply.
“You do look happy, Lay.” Jimmy notes before pulling me into a side hug. I look up and see Matt walking towards us with his girlfriend in tow. I pull away from Jimmy, not before noticing the sad frown on his lips.
“I’ve got to go back to the dressing room before Dad has a field day.” I tell them. “Don’t be strangers, okay? I miss hanging out with you guys.” I wave at them before exiting the backstage area and head back to the dressing room to be with my dad…
