Georgia's POV

Denis looked at me with his concerned eyes.. I got up from the bed slipping my underwear on and rushed to the door grabbing my cigarette box I left on the counter. I ran downstairs and to the elevator taking it to the garden area. I sat on the concrete bench. I lit the cigarette and just smoked it all away until Denis made his way to me.

"Georgia, you can't run from this."

"I can't believe this." I slung the ashes on the ground "I came here to get away from this."

"Go see him." Denis said leaning on the large pine tree

"It's not the best decision is it?"
He sighed and sat down next to me wrapping his arm around me.

"I can't tell you what to do. That's not what I am doing with you." He grabbed the cigarette from my hands and put it in his mouth inhaling-exhaling "But all I can say is that you have to make that choice. You choose what you think you need to do."

"I can't come on tour with you." I watched him finish my cigarette "But I can just say this no matter where I go I won't ever leave you."

"Do what you need to do." He got up "I need to get the guys up and get going to the meet and greet today."

"Alright, good luck with that." I felt drained again, I pulled myself away from them only to have them coming back. There was no one on earth that could ever change my mind about loving Denis the way I do but sometimes family tears you down. I should listen to George, "forget about me." But I get a call from where he was stationed in Syria and now he's back in America needing to talk to me.. Mum was alive why didn't they call her? "Denis wait..." I yelled running after him. He stopped before entering the apartment building. I hugged him tightly . "I won't leave you this time. I'm-I just need to see my brother one last time before I let this all go.. this is the last thing I need to do before I forget it all."

"I believe in you Georgia. You are my perfect dream." He kissed me before walking back upstairs leaving me to myself. I needed to catch a flight again..

After I packed my bag the guys were already gone from my apartment which was a complete mess with trash and empty assorted alcohol bottles.. Cigarette butts in my couch-the carpet- piss in my sink... Holy shit. I walked into my bedroom and remember this morning, I scanned the messed up sheets and the pillows on the floor. Until I found something of Denis'. His ring. I'd need to return it to him before I catch a flight to America. I picked it up from the ground and laid it on my kitchen counter rushing to take a quick shower and finally making it out of my apartment around 3:00 p.m. The drive to the venue was quick and finding parking was easy since the security guard knew me very well. When I made it inside and past all of the back stage crew-roadies some of who I knew and some whom I had never met before. Willy was packing boxes and waved to me with her mouth open.

"GEORGIA! YOU BITCH! BEN TOLD ME YOU DIED!" she gave me a huge hug nearly choking me to death.

"I am not dead. And please for the sake of your sanity do not believe anything Ben says." I said

"So where have you been? No phone calls, no texts, nothing." Willy was so happy to see me it felt like needles jabbing at me, the guilt I had for leaving and not telling anyone but the boys was awful.

"I moved here. I just- I pieced myself back together and grew up alittle."

"I've noticed, you look different." She patted my shoulder "You look older."

"Only a year older."

"Not too bad then?" She asked

"No. I'm legal in America now so all is well."

"So why were you in a rush when you came here?"

"Denis left something and I need to give it to him before I leave for America for a few days."

"America. Do you have all of your papers?" Willy was sort of like a mother to me.

"Yes. I did that as soon as I came here."

"Good.. good. Listen before you go looking around the venue there's someone here and I don't want you to freak out."

"What is it Willy?"

"Let's just say she's working with me at the merch table."
MANDY? WHAT THE FUCK? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO...

"Fuck." I cursed under my breath repeatedly until Willy released her hand from my shoulder.

"She's doing alright Georgia. She's not doing anything sexual with the boys now."

"Did she finally get a shot with one of the boys.. Brandon? Jack? or did she steal Kenny?"

"None, she's okay now. She really is sorry for what happened those many months ago."

"For jacking off on my boyfriend?" I gritted my teeth

"Georgia." Willy sighed

"I won't forgive her- even if she has changed." I pulled away from her motherly pats and rushed to the front stage trying to find the boys hoping not to run into Mandy.

"Denis talked about you alot when you were gone." I heard Willy follow me "I'm following you by the way..." I stopped and we walked together

"He told me.." I said lighting a cigarette

"You smoke now.."

"Yeah."

"Fuck you've changed. Anyways I talked with Denis frequently over this past tour and he's head over hills for you Georgia. He will just doze off in the middle of a conversation with Sam and I would snap my fingers at him."

"He's my life Willy." I blew smoke out into the cold venue. "Nothing compares to him."

"If your looking for them Cameron is out front with James and Kenny." Willy kissed my cheek and waved to me heading back stage. I really did miss this.
When I made my way out front of the venue Cameron yelled for me and I received a bone crushing hug from James.

"Heard you are leaving to America." Cameron said

"This is the last time. It's my brother this time."

"Always chasing the broken paths." James said wrapping his arms around me

"That's her!" Cam chanted

"Hey Georgia." I smiled at Kenny

"Hello. How have you been?"

"Great, I dumped Willy."

"How is that good?" I asked

"I wasn't feeling that anymore. I just liked to work here now. I switched to tech since Man-" He stopped looking at James who released me from his arms

"Yeah about that Mandy is-" I cut him off

"Willy and I talked for abit before I came out here." I threw the cigarette butt out into the road "I haven't ran into her yet."

"I'm scared." Cam said gripping James' arm.

"No, the violence is over." I said "I have grown up from that."

"I like this new Georgia." Kenny said "You seem so much older than what you are."

"Believe me it angers me but I can't be violent. "

Cam sighed

"I would still be mad if someone else played with my lover's dick."

"Well when you put it that way." James laughed

"That's a vulgar way to see it." Kenny shuddered taking a drink of a beer bottle without a label.

"It's true!" Cam yelled

"Alright. I need to give this to Denis have you seen him?"

"Nope.. But Ben and Sam are like roaming around the side of the venue looking for used condoms I think."

"Okay thanks." I hugged James and patted Cam's shoulder before turning the corner of the venue before I saw the one thing I never wanted to see.. Mandy was talking to Denis. Her chubby hand was on his shoulder, with a firm grip that I could see for miles. Denis was shaking his head at turning his head to what appeared to be Brandon who was trying to get him to go with him. She put her other hand on his shoulder and rubbed herself against him as he sighed

"HEY!" I yelled as Denis looked at me with relief and Mandy looked at me with Daggers in her bright blue eyes. Her hair was a short blonde bob with red bangs now and she looked like she had gained at the least 30 pounds.

"Well look who it is." Mandy let go of Denis who looked mortified. He gave me a sympathetic look as Brandon waved to be shoving Denis along.

"What the hell are you doing back here putting your swine hands all over my boyfriend?" I asked crossing my arms

"Did you lose 40 pounds? I mistook you for a twig earlier.."

"I didn't realize they let cunts run free." I flung my hands in the air stepping forward towards her "If I see you touch him again I swear to god I will rip your fucking hair off or your scalp and shove it down that fat clit you call a mouth."
Mandy's wide mouth was open and I shoved it closed for her spitting in her face. "You are no better then the bottom of my shoes."

"Fuck you Georgia.." She said wiping her face "What's going to happen when you are not around?" I watched her curved silhouette move towards me. "Huh? You can't do anything about that then.. What will you do when you are far way in a different country when I'm with everyone getting drunk and I just happen to kiss him?" I watched her lip curve into a lustful expression and she licked her lips "You wouldn't even know."

"Shut it." I said feeling the blood rush to my head and the taste of bile in my throat.

"You wouldn't even have a clue!" Mandy bit her lip and snickered at me "I could have already done stuff with him while you were here.."
I clenched my fists not saying anything.. I just listened to what she had to say before I needed more of a reason to just punch her.. "Georgia!- You don't belong anywhere, you Ukrainian bitch and that's because you know right in that thin skull of your's that just a rock band isn't enough for you.. I know everything about your fucking pathetic childhood and the fact in this reality of ours is that you my dear are a fucking accident.. not even needed on this earth a waste of fucking space. Denis may love you but one day he will wake up and realize you are not enough for him. And James.. James really? You and him are a fucking joke of a friendship.. the boys don't love you. No one would love someone like you."

"Mandy?" Ben said startling her

"What did you just say to her?" Sam asked

"I was just saying that- that.." Mandy stuttered as Ben shook his head angrily

"NO, NO, NO, YOU DIDN'T JUST SAY THAT!" Ben was very angry "YOU CANNOT TALK TO HER LIKE THAT! NONE OF THAT IS TRUE!"

"No, Ben please-" He cut me off

"Get your fucking stuff and never come around this band again. Second chances are over!" He yelled throwing a Ziploc bag of what appeared to be used condoms.

"BITCH!" Sam yelled as he and Ben hugged me

"Don't listen to what she said.. it's not like that." Ben said

"It's not Georgia."

"I am an accident." I said "She's only stating the truth with that comment." I laughed it off as I pulled a cigarette out and lightening it. "I need to just talk to Denis and be on my way."

"You are not coming with us?" Ben asked

"He didn't tell you?"

"No, what's going on?" Sam looked at me

"I need to go to America just one more time to see my brother. He is in critical condition and I'm the only relative on his records available."

"The only relative?" Ben hugged me and kissed me softly before I could answer Sam.
"I need to go back stage and make sure everything is okay with the technical stuff." Ben called as he was walking away from Sam and I

"Yes.. I don't know what to do. I mean going is the right thing to do I think."

"That is the right thing to do. I would go." He sighed at me "Look at you Georgia."
Sam stared at me and just returned a small smile at me. "You've just grown up. I remember the first time we met you and just how everyone was so unsure with you but if it wasn't for Denis you wouldn't be here. Here I mean where you are now. Living in Ukraine, having a steady job, small apartment just to yourself and a terrible smoking habit."

I laughed at the smoking habit part. "You are right Sam. I just can't let my brother's end be like this.. alone I mean. My neighbor the one who moved.. Curt I don't know if I told you about him."

"No we haven't talked much since you left."

"James knows.." I mumbled "Anyways he was stationed with my brother and I had to make up this lie to keep my past behind me without questions and the idea of telling him how I was raised and all of that. He would have never left without me."

"Do you think Curt will be there when you return to L.A.?"

"Absolutely. I'll have to make my confessions there."

"I wish you the best of luck Georgia Levchenchov." He winked at me

"Aw thanks Sam." I hugged him "I won't be gone like I was. I promise when I return I will go wherever you guys want me to go."

"Don't lie to me Levchen.."

"You just like saying my last name." I smirked

"It's fun!" He said doing jazz hands

"Go away faggot!" I screamed as he laughed at me

"I love you Georgia." Sam yelled walking the other direction

"I love you too Sammy." I smiled to myself and went the direction Brandon and Denis went.

When I gave the ring to Denis he just hugged me and kissed me saying a goodbye. The words I had told him were not lies. "I will be back soon. And when I am back I won't ever leave your side again."
