A Start of Something New

It was early Monday morning. The sun hadn’t even come up yet, and it was also Ronnie’s 3rd day out of prison. Mostly everybody was sleeping. Well everyone besides Olivia who was blissfully in her room cleaning her paint brushes and listening to some techno. When she started to feel hungry. Normally she would ignore her hunger pains because most of the time there was nothing to eat because Nason went out a lot and he ate were ever he went. But this time she remembered they had order some pizza the previous night. She was hoping there was left overs. Quietly Olivia tiptoed down stairs and into the kitchen where Ronnie was sitting at the island, eating a slice a pizza. He was only wearing his boxers and socks

“What are you doing up so late?” Ronnie asked her

“You mean early, it’s like 3am. And I already slept” Olivia said sitting next to him

“Really I haven’t been asleep yet, you must go to sleep early then, huh?”

“I’m not sure I lose track of time when I’m in my room. I always wake up around this time and the whole day I listen to music and draw, or paint, sometimes I write a lot. And when I get tired I sleep.” Olivia explained

“Oh yeah you listen to like orchestra music right?”

“Not all the time, I like jazz, techno, chiptune as well. I like music without words”

“That’s cool” Ronnie complimented her

“Really? You don’t think that’s weird or anything?” She was so used to people saying it was weird or strange about what interested her or what kind of music she liked

“No”

“Wow, thank you Ronald”

“No problem”

“So, is there anymore pizza left?”

“No sorry, just had the last slice”

“Oh, oh well”

“I’m sorry are you hungry?”

“I’m fine, I’ll survive” Olivia lied as left another hard tug in the middle of her stomach. Then it growled rather loudly

“Hey do like burritos?”

“Yeah”
“Let’s go to taco bell!”

“Oh my gosh Ronnie, it’s like 3am!”

“Yeah taco bell is always open, you know fourth meal?”
“Fourth meal?” Olivia inquired confused

“Yeah it’s like the taco bell slogan; you know the meal in between dinner and breakfast” Ronnie informed Olivia. Who was skeptical about going but was too hungry argue she didn’t eat anything yesterday after what happened with Little in the convenient store

“Well ok”

“Awesome! Do you have a driver’s license?

“Yeah, but wait. Whose car are we taking?”

“Nason’s who else?”

“Wait I don’t know if that’s a good idea, I think we should ask...”

“You wanna wake up Nason at 3am to ask him if we can take his car.” He asked with sarcasm

“Well…” Olivia thought which was being strongly affected by her hunger. Ronnie just stared at her with a look that was hard to say no too. She could help but to blush

“Fine! Ok ok, I’ll drive but you might wanna put on some clothes” Olivia said looking at his masculine body. It was decorated in colorful and artistic tattoos.

“What? You don’t like what I’m wearing?”

“I’m not going to comment on that, I’m gonna go grab a pair of jeans. When I come back you better have some more clothes on” Olivia said walking up stairs she heard Ronnie walk behind her until they got up stairs.

Olivia took off her night gown. And put on a pair of faded blue boot cut jeans and a black t-shirt. She exclaimed herself in the mirror she took of her pants and put on some black skinny jeans. She never wore all black before but since she was going some where with Ronnie this style seemed to be good to wear. She got her brush and got her hair into a ponytail with some bangs.

“Oli!” she heard Ronnie whispered-scream he was peeking inside her room

“Hold on, I’m almost ready” she whispered back

“What? You look fine!” He said. Which kind of made Olivia freeze

“Really?”

“Yeah c’mon lets go, before anyone wakes up!”

“No one is ever up this time of morning trust me” Olivia reassured him she ran over to her closet and went to her cash stash

“Hey, how much is a burrito?”

“Not that much, but don’t worry about that I got it”

“You sure?”

“Yeah, now let’s go!” Ronnie said again this time throwing Olivia Nason’s keys. She caught them and they both snuck out the front door.

Olivia was almost to taco bell with Ronnie in the passenger’s seat.

“Hey Ronald wanna know a secret?” Olivia asked Ronnie

“What?”

“I’ve never been to taco bell before” Olivia confessed

“You’re kidding!” Ronnie said in disbelief

“No I’m not. I know I’m so lame”

“You really don’t get out much do you?” Ronnie questioned Olivia just shook her head

“We should go out tonight, where do you wanna go?” he asked her. Olivia could believe her ears. Ronnie seriously just asked her out…‘like a date’ she thought
“Ah, I don’t know where you wanna go”

“Well there’s a really good restaurant that’s on the strip, its called Aureole”

“Ok” she said breathlessly pulling into the drive thru.

“Welcome to taco order when your ready” the drive thru microphone said

“Um, what should I get?” Olivia asked Ronnie

“Whatever you want, but when you order you order me a volcano box”

“What’s a volcano box?”

“Well let’s just say it the most you can get for 5 bucks, you get a volcano taco, double beef volcano burrito a crunchy taco and cinnamon twist”

“Wow, but volcano…I bet that’s hot. I can not eat spicy stuff”

“Well they have the same thing but it called beefy, it’s not spicy”

“I want that!”

“Then order”

“Oh yeah”
They ordered the food and Ronnie paid for it but there was a wait. As they were waiting Ronnie stared at Olivia when she was looking away.

“Oh my gosh, I’m like so hungry!” Olivia said turning her vision toward Ronnie who was still staring at her

“Is there something on my face?” she asked putting her hand in front of her mouth. It made her feel weird when he stared at her like that. But she liked at the same time

“No”

“…Oh” she put her hand down feeling stupid the food finally came. Olivia parked in the closest stop she could find and started eating her 5-layer beefy burrito

“Whoa, I think you should slow down before you like choke or something” Ronnie said looking at Olivia seriously stuff almost half of a burrito in her mouth in one bite
“Huh?” Olivia said swallowing hard on her first bite then burped really loud

“Excuse me” she said giggling then she continued to eat

“Damn girl, when was the last time you ate?”
“Almost two days ago” she admitted when said she didn’t know why but she felt embarrassed

“Why haven’t you ate anything, your not one of those fucking sick chicks that like throws up all there food on purpose are you?”

“No, its just well Nason goes out a lot and he eats out and he rarely brings anything home. And he doesn’t go grocery shopping either. Yesterday when you guys were at the mall I wanted to walk to Wal-Mart but it was so cold I was really hungry and then I had to take Little with me…” then Olivia went on and on about her misadventures with Little and how she and a cat wrecked a convenience store. And how she had given up and just walked back home. Ronnie laughed they sat in Nason car for about two hours just talking and eating.

“I love your tattoos” Olivia told Ronnie

“Thank you”

“You should model for me one day so I can paint you. Do you think you can stay still for a few hours?”

“No, but I’ll try. Just for you” when Ronnie said that it made Olivia blush

“You said before that you lose time in your room, right?” Ronnie asked
“Yeah I do”
“But didn’t you say you work, so how do you know when you have to go?”

“I have a calendar on my wall”

“Oh, that makes sense. Where do you work?”

“The movie theaters, you know the one that like 2 blocks away from the house”

“Oh yeah I remember. We should go see a movie sometimes maybe today after we eat at Aureole”

“Awesome, I’d like that” they stared at each other. Ronnie leaned closer to Olivia. There noses where almost touching.

“Um…Ronnie?” Olivia whispered getting scared and excited at the same time.

“Yeah”

“I…Uhh I-I think we should get home” she said and as soon as she said it she regretted it Ronnie pulled away and sat back in his passenger seat.

“Yeah, I’m starting to get sleepy” he said smiling a little. It was weird that she actually felt sleepy she had already slept but it was probably because she consumed way to much food for one person, even if she was fasting for two days.

“Me too, hopefully I don’t crash this car in to the window when we get home” Olivia joked pulling out of the taco bell parking lot.

“Haha, I thought you said you don’t listen to music with singing”
“There are a few songs that I like”

Olivia managed not to crash the car through the window, but her and Ronnie snuck back inside with out anyone noticing. Ronnie walked Olivia to her room.
“Thank you Ronald, for going to taco bell with me. If you didn’t make me I’d probably would have starved to death in my room”
“I did not force you too”
“Yes you did, you and my stomach forced me out of my freewill” she joked

“Yeah I guessed we did” Olivia laughed a bit to loud. Ronnie put his finger on her lips

“Shhh, you want us to get caught?”

“Sorry” She whispered from under Ronnie’s finger

“Goodnight” Ronnie said hugging Olivia he kissed her on the forehead lightly then walked to his room with out looking back. Olivia went in her room dancing and silently screaming. Jumping up and down with excitement. When she stopped she realized how sleepy she was. She jumped in bed and as soon as her head touched the pillow she went to sleep. And she dreamt Ronnie Radke

It was around early afternoon in Los Angeles, California when Lexus and Lisa where putting there outfits together they were about to go on their four drive to Las Vegas to party the night away.

“I’m gonna wear two different outfits tonight” Lexus said to Lisa

“Why would you do that?” she asked

“One to arrive in and one to party in”

“Cool, I think I’m just gonna wear this” Lisa said pulling a black lacey mini dress

“That’s hott!”

“Yeah I know right! They don’t call me hotfuss for nothing.

“What are you two ladies doing?” Justin said coming in the room

“Hey Justin” Lisa greeted him he nodded at her

“We are about to Las Vegas to party with some rock stars” Lexus told Justin proudly

“Uh! And you didn’t invite me? I’m hurt”

“Sorry just Justin, you’d be one Rock star to many” Lexus said to just who was already a rock star because he was the guitarist of lovehatehero

“Who are you guys gonna be partying with?”

“Falling in reverse” Lisa said blissfully

“Wait, isn’t that Ronnie Radke and that Nasty person?” Justin questioned

“Yeah, what about them?”

“Damn, Scotty Gee said something about those guys a few days ago when he said he was done with lovehatehero”

“Isn’t that your drummer?” Lexus asked

“He used to be. Now I think he is falling in reverse’s new drummer now”

Mean while, Max was still getting drunk and not caring about anything or even anyone anymore.

Olivia opened her eyes. It was in the afternoon exactly 12am. She woke up in a strangely happy mood. So happy that after she brushed her teeth and put on some clothes. She went down stairs. In the living room Derek and Jacky were playing black ops on Xbox. She sat on the couch and watched them play. It felt weird being out of her room but she kind of liked it she couldn’t remember the last time she just sat down and actually watched TV. Although the bright colors vivid colors of the large flat screen television was captivating to her something else caught her attention. It was lying on the coffee table. It was black and sleek and a little longer than I foot long and about the same in width. The object looked familiar she remembered seeing a few people at her old school had something similar but it was much smaller. Olivia picked it up and pressed a circular button with a square in it. It lit up and it kind of surprised her and on the bottom of blinked and it said slide to unlock.
‘Its touch screen’ she thought. She began playing with it and then the object went on the internet

“Olivia, what are you doing with my ipad?” Nason said walking down the stairs scratching his head and yawning. His half blond half black hair was sticking up in back

“I don’t know” Olivia admitted and it was true she really didn’t know what she put it back on the coffee table

“What are you doing in here?”

“What, I’m not welcomed in the living room anymore?”

“Well, I meant like why aren’t you in your room painting or something”

“Because I’m in here, duh”

“Ok, whatever.” Nason said and walked in the kitchen to eat some total cereal. When he noticed a lot of taco bell trash in the garbage

“Hey, who went to taco bell?” Nason called to the living room. Olivia tried not to look guilty ‘so busted’ she thought and it was to late to try and lie out of it so she just told the truth

“I went this morning”

“How? You been in upstairs all morning because Derek and I been in here since like 8am” Jacky questioned Olivia

“Maybe it’s because I went like 3 this morning”

“So you’re telling me that by yourself 3 am you walked to taco bell in the streets of Las Vegas, and we live close to the strip. I this hard to believe” Nason said starting believe his little cousin was lying to him

“Who said I walked”

“How did you get there then?” Nason investigated further

“I drove” Olivia said sinking into her seat

“You stole my car keys?” Nason asked in a hurt voice

“I’m sorry”

“Do you even have a license?”

“Yeah I do”

“Not cool Olivia, next time you should just ask. It not that hard. Nason left the room a few minutes later. Ronnie came down stairs

“Hey guys what’s up?”

“Well it seems like we have a little thief among us” Derek joked looking at Olivia smiling

“What are you talking about?” Ronnie asked sitting next to Olivia on the couch

“Apparently little Oli over here swiped Nasty’s car keys in the middle of the night and ate taco bell without us” Jacky continued

“It was not the middle of the night, just early morning”

“But the rest of its true” Jacky added Olivia stuck here tongue out at him Ronnie was looking at her intently… ‘Did she really just take all the blame, for me? Wow’ Ronnie thought
“You didn’t have to do that” Ronnie told Olivia

“What? Oh that, it was nothing.”

“How did he even find out?” He asked Olivia shrugged

“I don’t even know but I totally got busted” Olivia said feeling a little rush of excitement from doing something she should have all her life she always followed the rules and now she was being a rebel. And it felt awesome

“What are you guys talking about?” Derek inquired getting suspicious

“Don’t worry about it” Olivia told him

“Whatever” Derek said resuming his game

“Do wanna go to Aureole now?”

“How? Nasty’s not gonna let me use his car.”

“I’ll talk to him.”

Nasty was smoking a cigarette outside in his back yard. Not that anyone cared if he smoked inside. Or at the fact that it was his house. He just enjoyed the fresh air. He was thinking why his little cousin would take his keys. It just really bothered him at the fact that his keys were in his room on his dresser while he was sleeping. ‘She must have snuck in my room while I was sleeping’ he tried shaking it off but it still irritated him. Ronnie stuck his head out of slide glass door

“Oh there you are. I was looking for you” he said walking outside

“What’s up?” Nason said

“Olivia didn’t take your keys I did”

“What are you talking about?” Nason asked in disbelief

“I took your keys, not Oli so don’t be mad at her”

“What the hell man! Why would you do that? You can’t even drive!”

“Look dude, It was really early in the morning, I was eating some pizza and I was about to go to sleep but she came in the kitchen like starving. She hadn’t eaten in two whole days. It was my idea to go. And I took your keys because I didn’t want to wake you. Besides I didn’t drive” Ronnie explained

“What the fuck, I doubt she didn’t eat for two days.”
“The way she ate last night you would”

Nason exhaled loudly

“Ok, tell her I’m not mad her anymore”

“I will. Anyway I was wondering…”

“What is it?”

“May I please borrow your keys?”

“Well since you asked nicely…sure” Nason said and it was at that time Olivia was looking for Ronnie she heard voices from the back door she listened

“Thanks, me and Oli are going to Aureole”

“Wait not cool bro, what did I tell you about my cousin”

“C’mon I promised to take her out.” Ronnie pleaded

“I don’t think you should”

“Please, I’m just doing to be nice. She doesn’t get out at all. This morning was the first time she ever went to fucking taco bell. I’m doing this as a friend.”

“So you don’t like her”

“No not at all” Ronnie lied but Olivia didn’t know and so she ran up to her room and slammed the door and began to cry silently in her pillow
