Love's Requiem

"Guess what boys!" I shouted looking up from my laptop that night while we were on the way to the next venue.

"You realized you should get laser tattoo removal?" Jack asked, from where he was sitting across from me messing around with his Iphone.

"Fuck no," I shook my head.

"What is it?" Alex asked walking out of the bathroom and sitting back down next to me.

"They like me, they really like me!" I exclaimed pointing at the screen.

"What is she talking about?" Rian asked looking away from the game he was playing with Vinny.

Alex read the screen and let out a laugh, "Someone made a myspace fan page for her." He told them.

"They like me!"

"I have like a million." Jack boasted.

"You have a big nose." I told him flipping him off.

"I'm an american citizen." He smirked.

"So am I!"

"I have a penis."

"Fuck you got me on that one!" I said snapping my fingers and going back to looking at the page with Alex. "Man this is cool!" I exclaimed as I looked through it.

"I thought you hated stuff like this?" Alex asked me.

"Not when it's about me." I smirked, making him and everyone laugh.

The next few shows were filled with more Bella and Gabe wars, that seemed to keep the entire tour entertained. The second week in, I was in the middle of heading in to the venue with Nick of Hit the lights to set up for sound check.

"Dude seriously, Recon is not broken up." I explained to him.

"But Alex is gone, and isn't the one guitarist now in Emmure."

"Mike is, but they have a new vocalist and are currently trying out new guitarists don't worry." I laughed.

"Bella?" A girl said as her and two other girls said walking up to us.

"What's up?" I asked looking in their direction.

"Can we ask you a few questions, we started a fan page for you." The girl next to her asked.

"You guys made it?" I smiled, "Its awesome." I smiled giving them high fives.

"Thanks." They all said sheepishly.

"I kind of have to do some stuff inside but how about when I'm done I do it?" I asked them.

"Really? That'd be cool." The first girl answered.

"Alright, see you later." I told them heading inside.

"They're probably going to ask why someone wearing an as blood runs black hoodie is tour managing a band like all time low." Nick laughed motioning towards my hoodie.

"Shut up man, I'll have you know I am the best dressed person on this tour." I said unzipping the hoodie.

"Oh yeah a white tunic and black skinny jeans and them weird fucking Nikes. Hello fashionista." Gabe said sarcastically from the stage where he was talking with Alex.

"Fuck you Saporta, at least I didn't sell out."

"Don't you have anything better than that?" He chuckled as I left my hoodie on the merch table with Vinny as I began unloading equipment.

"Ruka ti usahla!" I shouted to him.

"That doesn't count because I didn't understand that!" He laughed.

"Bella what the hell did you just say?" Alex shouted to me.

"May your hand wither."

"Oh how terrifying." Gabe mocked.

"Alex if you want to get laid tonight, punch him in the dick." I said simply, as I went on with what I was doing.

"He wouldn't- owe dude!" Gabe whined.

"When it comes to sex, she'll always win." Alex told him, as I smiled triumphantly.

"Exactly." I nodded.

"Wanna get something to eat?" Alex asked me as he gave me a kiss after sound check finished.

"I can in a bit, these three girls want to talk to me."

"Bella has a fan club now." Nick laughed as the three of us walked outside.

"This I have to see." Alex said as I put my sunglasses back on as I walked out in to the sunlight.

"Tell me if you see them." I told Nick as we looked outside.

"Bella!" I heard the voice from before shout.

"Yo," I smiled turning in the direction as I walked over to them. "What's up?" I asked.

"We were just wondering if we could make a video or two of you for the site?"

"Uh yeah sure what do you want me to do, punch Alex?" I laughed while they all stared at
Alex with wide eyes.

"Actually just like a welcome message?" The one girl asked me.

"Uh sure." I nodded as the girl next to her pulled out a camera,

"Okay," The girl said pointing it at me.

"It's on?" I asked as they nodded, "Okay uh, hi internet people of the world, I'm Bella and welcome to the coolest page ever." I said waving.

"Nice one Bella." Alex chuckled with Nick, while I just flipped them off.

"Okay, can we get a picture with you too?"

"Yeah, sure you want these goons in it too?" I asked.

"We already took a picture of you with them." The other girl said.

"Okay." I nodded, as I gave the camera to Nick and he took a picture of the four of us.

"Thank you Bella." They all said,

"No problem, what's your names?" I asked.

"I'm Cindy, this is Sam, and Nicole." The one girl said.

"Nice to meet you, so what questions do you have for me?" I asked.

"Just some stuff about you cause we don't really know anything about you for the site."

"Oh alright shoot." I smiled as they pointed the camera at me again.

"What's your full name?" Cindy asked me.

"Isabella Tarja Sladovic."

"How old are you?"

"I am 23 years old."

"Where are you from?"

"Technically, Zadar Croatia but I moved to Queens, New York when I was 5."

"How long have you been tour managing all time low?"

"About two years now."

"Who were you working with before that?"

"My best friend's band Emmure as well as Recon, Suicide Silence, All shall perish, Darkest hour, and a whole bunch of other metal and hardcore acts."

"How many tattoos do you have?"

"About 8 or 9, I'm actually planning on getting another one soon so soon to be 10 or so."

"Which was your most painful to get?"

"Probably the one behind my ear."

"Which is your favorite?"

"The russian nesting doll I have here on my forearm." I said pointing to it. "I love nesting dolls, and the roses are for my Grandma because her name is Rose as well as the nurse cross on the apron because my dad's mom was a nurse." I explained.

"Are you dating any of the guys in all time low?" She asked as I heard Alex choke on air while he was talking with Nick.

"No," I chuckled, shaking my head.

"Have you ever dated any of the guys?"

"Nope, I usually keep work and dating separate."

"Are you dating anyone?"

"I am." I nodded, "This really great guy I met when they played a show in Baltimore." I went on as I saw Alex smile.

"That's cool." Sam nodded. "What's your favorite color?"

"Purple."

"Favorite food?"

"Anything mexican or Panera bread even though Alex gives me shit whenever I make him go with me."

"Favorite band?"

"Bleeding through."

"Favorite city?"

"New York without a doubt." I smiled.

"Thank you so much Bella." Nicole smiled.

"Don't mention, thank you for actually thinking I'm important and cool." I laughed, and hugged them all. "Enjoy the show tonight guys." I added as I headed to get food with Alex and Nick.

"So this dick in Baltimore, is he better than me?" Alex smirked taking my hand.

"Totally." I smiled, "Way hotter too." I added giving him a kiss.

"Jesus you two just need to fucking get married already." Nick said shaking his head.

"I ain't ready to leave New York yet." I told him shaking my head.

"You'll never be ready to do that." He retorted.

"That is true." I nodded.
