After traveling with Black Veil Brides and Falling In Reverse for a good two months, the tour was finally over but Marilyn was faced with a problem. Where was she supposed to go now? She wanted to avoid going home to her abusive father at all costs and she really didn't want to stay with Andy after all they had been through.

That had been the original plan; Marilyn was going to stay with Andy but with unresolved problems, she decided it wasn't a good idea. Ronnie was out of the question. No one asked why, so no one knew the reason. Except for Ronnie, of course.

Sammi decided that Marilyn could stay with her and Jinxx. Living with Sammi and Jinxx was a little bit weird for Marilyn. Sammi had her band mates over sometimes to practice and Jinxx had the BVB guys over which meant Andy. Marilyn would usually hide in her room during those times.

Over the next few months, Marilyn began meeting new people and started dating a guy named Chris Porter. He seemed nice enough on the outside. As much as she liked Chris, she couldn't help but think about Ronnie occasionally. She wondered what he was up to, how he was doing and such. He was the only one that didn't know about Chris.

Andy didn't like Chris and not because he was dating Marilyn and Andy wasn't. Sure, that did have something to do with it but he got a weird feeling about Chris.

Marilyn came home one night after hanging out with Chris.

"Marilyn? What is that?" Sammi pointed to the golf ball sized bruise on Marilyn's upper arm.

"Nothing." Marilyn said defensively as she reached up with her other hand to cover the bruise. "I bumped into a wall, that's all. I'm fine."

Marilyn ran up to her room to figure out how she was going to hide all her other wounds.
