Belle-
"Finally," I said triumphantly, pinning the last shirt to the board behind me.
I sat on my foldable chair and pulled Romeo and Juliet out of my bag. I was just starting Act 3 when Casey came running toward me.
"Belle!" She screamed as I raised an eyebrow.
"Yes?" I asked, marking my page and putting my book in my bag.
"VIP lets in pretty soon so..."
"You want food before we're stuck here?" I chuckled as she nodded quickly and grinned.
"You know me so well," she said, grabbing my hand and pulling me away from the table. "I saw a Chipotle down the street, we can walk there and be back in time!"
"Sounds good," I said, grabbing my bag.
We took the back entrance so we wouldn't interfere with soundcheck or the line outside.
"Freedom!" Casey grinned, spinning around.
"Come on woman," I giggled as I grabbed her arm and pulled her down the street.
We ordered our food and decided to walk around while we ate.
"How's Ian?" I asked curiously.
Casey frowned and replied, "I don't know... He's been really distant and I don't know what to do."
"Don't worry chica, it'll blow over," I reassured her as she gave me a small smile.
"How's Ryan?" She giggled, nudging my side.
"Sexy," I replied, causing us to burst into a fit of giggles.
We talked a while longer until I felt my phone vibrate.
"Shit," I muttered under my breath.
"What is it?" Casey asked with worry in her tone.
"Doors opened 15 minutes ago which means we missed VIP and the show starts in 5 minutes!"
"I didn't think we were out for that long-" she began but I grabbed her arm and yanked her forward and began to run full speed toward the venue.
By the time we arrived I heard Ryan's voice through the door.
"We just missed them," I said, on the verge or tears.
"No we didn't! Come with me," Casey said as I begrudgingly followed.
She led us to a side door and pushed it open. The room was packed with people all watching Hot Chelle Rae onstage.
"Belle! I have to go get my camera! Go to the table!" Casey yelled over the music as I nodded.
I saw her run to the green room and then race to the stage, taking pictures like she didn't miss anything. I saw Ian smile when he saw her which made me feel great.
While making my way to the merch table, I caught Ryan looking at me which made my cheeks heat up. I swear though I was in the back and there we lights flashing everywhere, he saw me blush and grinned.
I made my way back to the table, still flustered by the previous event. I saw David trying to work my table and Action Item's and the line was getting longer.
"Sorry David! I'll take over now," I said, scrambling to fill the orders of the girls lined up behind my table.
I wanted so badly to watch the rest of Hot Chelle Rae's set, but promised myself I would watch another night, as I had many more to watch.
I heard Ryan say thank you and then the lights dimmed. I had just collected money from the last girl in line when Casey came running from around the corner.
"Belle!"
"Not again," I laughed as Casey collapsed in the chair behind my table.
"That was fucking amazing! The guys were so into it! And their music was awesome! I wish you could've watched it," she said dreamily as I sighed.
"Merch girl duties," I reminded her, gesturing to the new forming line.
"I'll help you!" She giggled, grabbing a shirt from the box and handing it to the annoyed girl in front.
"Bought time," she snapped as Casey made a weird face and accepted her money. "No tip for you," she smirked.
I had to move quickly around the table and grab Casey's arms to prevent her from lashing out.
"Why don't you go back to the green room," I whispered as she nodded stiffly and retreated to the green room.
"Excuse me," a voice said from the other side of the table, "Do you know when the guys are gonna be out?"
"They should be out soon," I said, not looking up from sorting some shirts.
"Good, I can't wait to see Ryan," she said smugly.
My head snapped up to see if I could match a face to that voice, but saw no one there.
I helped the other people in line until I felt a pair of arms wrap around my wait. I yelped in surprise but relaxed once I realized who it was.
"Hey baby," Ryan cooed, placing a kiss on my cheek.
"I'm working," I giggled, making sure he noticed the line of dumbstruck girls.
"I get it. The working lady needs her space," he chuckled as I gave him a small smile.
"I'll see you at bus call," I said quietly, giving him a quick kiss.
Ryan departed, despite the girls almost jumping over the table to get a picture with him.
Bus call didn't come soon enough. My phone read 2:00 AM as I loaded the last box of merchandise into the trailer. I saw Ryan and David smoking on the curb. I made my way over there and wrapped my arms around Ryan's waist and rested my head on his back.
"Hey," I said softly as Ryan turned toward me.
"I'll talk to ya later," he said to David, who nodded and walked back to his van.
"You know that's gonna kill you," I smirked as Ryan raised an eyebrow.
"You're gonna kill me," he said slyly as I pressed my lips together. "I was kidding babe," he said, stepping on the cigarette.
"I know," I smiled. "You guys were amazing tonight."
"Really?" Ryan grinned as I nodded. "That means a lot," he whispered.
"Ryan, Belle, we have to go!" Nash called from the van.
"Ready?" Ryan asked, grabbing my hand.
"Yes."
"Finally," I said triumphantly, pinning the last shirt to the board behind me.
I sat on my foldable chair and pulled Romeo and Juliet out of my bag. I was just starting Act 3 when Casey came running toward me.
