Beautiful Remains
To those who sing alone, no need to feel the sorrow.
CC's POV
This morning, I was the first one awake, which was definitely not normal for me. Everyone knows how I feel about my sleep and that I can be grumpy when woken up. I got out of my bunk quietly and grabbed some clothes and a towel so I could shower. I didn't want to meet Khloe smelling gross and looking horrible. After my shower, I changed, brushed my teeth and combed my hair. Once my hair was dry I began to fix it to how I normally styled it and added my bandana around my head. I rimmed my eyes with black eyeliner, gave myself a once over before walking out of the bathroom. I wanted to look good for this girl.
To say I was excited about meeting Ashley's sister, Khloe, was an understatement. I couldn't sleep last night because I would get nervous about how to act when Ashley introduces us to each other.
I would even become afraid because thoughts of her not liking me or her being scared kept popping up in my head. I figured I would be my normal self, just without the hyperactivity.
I passed through the bunk area very quietly, still afraid that I would wake someone up. I had planned on waiting in the living room without waking anyone up, which is definitely not normal for me at all. I wanted to take this serious because I didn't want Ashely's sister to be afraid of me or not like me.
I decided to have a bowl of cereal, seeing there wasn't anything good at the moment, while I waited on everyone to wake up. I took my time eating a bowl of Lucky Charms, which I didn't know we have on the bus. I wonder if Ashley had gotten these for Khloe. While eating, I started to think about everything Andy had told me yesterday about her.'How could anyone do that to an innocent person?' I thought to myself. After I had finished the cereal, I got up to put my bowl in the sink to wash. I had just finished drying the washed bowl to put it back in the cupboard when the door to the bus opened up. I chose to stand still since I didn't know who it was. Hell I didn't even know anyone was up. I looked back towards the door, and noticed that it was Ashley and a girl was standing behind him.
'Hm, this must be his sister I've been told about.' I thought to myself again.
"Hey Ash, I didn't know you were up. I just thought it was only me up and everyone else was asleep still." I said, while smiling. He smiled back.
"Well Khlo here was hungry so she woke me up. I took her to this diner down the street to eat. If I had known you were up, I would have asked you to come with us." he responded to me, sitting down at the table. I joined him, but sitting right across from him. His sister also joined us, sitting next to him. I couldn't help but stare at her. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on. I could tell her and Ashley were definitely twins by their looks. They looked a lot alike. The same brown eyes, mouth, hair color, facial expressions, hell how they sit is the same way; it is crazy.
"Well anyway CC, this is my sister Khloe. Khlo, this is the infamous CC you've heard about. I told both of you that you would meet each other on this tour so here it is." Ashley continued, chuckling and smiling at the end of his sentence. Khloe smiled warmly towards and I couldn't help but return that smile back to her.
"Hi." she said nervously, sticking her hand out for me to shake. I took her hand and shook it.
"Hi. It's nice to finally meet you Khloe." I told her. She smiled at me again. 'What a beautiful smile she has.' I thought.
"So you're the new drummer that no one would tell me about. They kept telling me to stop asking about you." Khloe responded, elbowing Ashely in the side at the same time. I just chuckled at the sight of that.
"That I am. It's okay no one told me about the sister Ash had either. They kept changing the subject every time your name was brought up in a conversation." I laughed while looking at her, pointing at Ashley in the process. She laughed in return. I couldn't stop smiling after I stopped laughing.
"Well I want to watch a movie, actually a trilogy. Ash, will you watch it with me?" she asked her brother, looking at him.
"Hell no. I know what trilogy you want to watch. I can't stand those movies. The Lord Of The Rings movies are so boring. What's so interesting about a damn hobbit taking a journey with a stupid ring that can fuck up his life. Not only that but it's also too early to watch those movies and I'm gunna go back to sleep." Ashley stated at her, with a very stern look on his face. Khloe just scoffed at him and turned her attention towards me.
"CC, will you watch, well have a Lord Of The Rings marathon with me? Please?" she questioned me, making a pouty face. 'How can I say no to that face?' I asked myself. I smiled at her and nodded.
"Yes I will watch the movies with you. Also, call me Christian from now on, okay?" I answered her, still smiling. She nodded back at me, smiling and clapping her hands together. I could tell she was excited that someone would watch the movies with her.
"Well that's all nice and dandy. Now I'm heading back to my bunk to sleep more." Ashley chimed in, pushing Khloe out of the table so he could get up. I got up as well to move to the couch.
"Remember what I told you. Don't scare her. She's doing good so far at getting to know you which is very unusual. But that could also be a good thing." he whispered in my ear. I nodded in agreement, letting him know I understand. He smiled at me and then turned his attention to his sister.
"Can you get my blanket for me, Ashy?" she asked him, making another pouty face.
"Okay. But only since you gave me that face. You want the Jack Skellington one right?" he asked her. She nodded her head in response.
I got up and put the first movie in that Khloe already had in the living room of the bus. Ashley came back and handed the blanket to her. He kissed her head and went back to the bunk area to sleep. I sat back down in my spot I was previously in and leaned back. Khloe got comfortable under her blanket and laid down slightly as the movie started to play.
