The Guide On How To Date A Rockstar

Tip #11: do hate your crush's new girl

"Addi? Ads? You OK?"

Two hours ago I met Brian's new girlfriend.
Two hours ago I learned what it felt like to be heartbroken.
Two hours ago I locked myself in the venue's bathroom, refusing to even let Zacky in.

"Maybe I should talk to her. You know, girl to girl" I could hear Bella say.
"Yah, right. Cause I'm sure she wants to talk to you."

I couldn't help but giggle silently at Zacky's response. He was right though. She was the reason i was in here. I was sure as hell going to tear her apart if she got in here.

"Zack, that's not fair. Don't be an asshole."
"Oh shut up, Syn. It's your fucking fault she's in there."
"How is it my fault?"
"You and your fucking whore. that's how."

It was quiet only for a few seconds before there was more knocking.

"Addi, baby girl. Come on, let me in at least. We live together. We're best friends."

I shake my head, but it wasn't like he could see it.

"Lemme try. Ads, it's Johnny and Jimmy. let us in at least. please."

I get up as quiet as possible, unlocking the door. Obviously they heard the click. Johnny slammed it open and Jimmy slammed it closed, locking it behind him. The banging on the door started up again, followed by curses from the guys about how unfair it was to let the hyper ones in to help.

"Spill it" Johnny orders, pinning me against the wall.
Jimmy jumps in too but quickly pecks my cheek then backs off. "Yah, spill it."

Johnny lets me go and wraps his arms around me, letting me cry in his shoulder.

"Nothing is wrong, I'm being emotional."

They both stare at me before looking to each other and nodding.

"You like him" the chirp up in unison.
"What? No, I don't like Brian. It's just...I don't like seeing my brother with chicks."
"She's got a point. She did run off Meagan" Johnny muses.
Jimmy folds his arms over his chest, pouting. "She gave great head too."
"James Owen Sullivan! I so did not need to hear that" I screech, covering my ears.
"Well she did! Why else would I have kept that skank around" he confesses, throwing his arms in the air in frustration.
Johnny holds his hands up in mock surrender. "She was kind of a whore, Rev."
"Seriously, little Dude, you're pushing it" Jimmy warns, pointing a finger at him.
"Noooo! It's high school all over again" johnny screams, overing his ears and dropping to the ground.
I couldn't help but laugh. "That wasn't a long way to fall for him."

This resulted in a huge burst if laughter from Jimmy and some whimpering from Johnny. Brian, Jimmy and I had always been rough on Johnny throughout high school. Zacky was always OK with him, but we were always picking on him. Except these days we liked him and did it.

"I hear laughter! She's OK now!"
"Good! I want my roommate back!"
"Hey, where's Brian?"
"Who cares?! Addi's back!"

There was cheering outside the door and I had to laugh. Matt and Zacky were obviously having a good time now.

Jimmy unlocks the door and the guys stare at Johnny curled on the floor.

"We teased his height" I explain, shrugging as I did.

I caught sight of Brian and Bella making out far down the hall, and I only wanted to lock the door again and hide. Zacky obviously caught ti because he covered my face with his bandanna and pushed me out the door. Presumably toward merch.

Two hours later I was pleasantly rocking out to the sounds of A7X on my earbuds when Bella's skinny frame came in to block my view of the cute guys that were checking me out. Rolling my eyes I plucked my earbuds from my ears to hear her. I mean, her mouth was moving like she was talking, so she probably was. I most likely wasn't missing anything by nto listening though.

"Brian said i could help with merch tonight" she ends, smiling at me obliviously.
"Um, last time I checked i was the merch girl, not you" I snap.

The guy in the booth beside me laughs and offers a hand for a high five. I gladly take it up, showing Bella who owned this place.

"But he said I could help. he said you get busy over here." She was twirling her hair around her finger, trying to look innocent and cute. i wasn't buying it.
"I get busy all right. busy checking out boys. And f-y-i, you're blocking two of them right now. So if you could sidle off a fraction to the left I'd be super busy again" i grin.

I could hear the two boys laughing as they got closer; one on each side of Bella.

"Hey, you're kind of cute" the taller one speaks up, eying Bella.
"Yah, you seeing anybody" the other asks.

Bella giggles, twirling her hair more. "I'm dating the guitarist."

I roll my eyes, smacking a hand to my forehead. "There's more than one, you ignorant ass."
"Oh, Brian. I'm dating Brian."

I growl, unable to help the jealousy. Only I called him Brian. All the other girls called him Syn.

The boys pout and look at me hopefully.

"Sorry guys, I'm not rebound bitch. Plus if you wanna see about an all access pass to this," I gesture to myself, "you need to talk to Tuck. I'm sure he wouldn't mind pounding you for thinking of it. Not to mention Shads might just bury your heads in the sand for you so you won't see the hell train coming for you."

Bella giggles again and I groan, rubbing a hand over my face this time.

"Go the fuck away! Dye your hair again! DO SOMETHING! I don't want your fake ass over here" i snap.

The two boys laugh. Suddenly my interest in them was renewed.

"You know what? What the boys don't know will so not hurt you two" I smirk.

Picking up my sharpie I grab ones arm and write my number, copying it onto the others. Giving them a wink I mime the phone to face with my fingers and mouth call me before plugging my earbuds back into my skull.
