�What?� Kaylee asked through a sleep filled haze.
�What are you doing tonight?� Jamie asked.
�Nothing. Why?�
�Are you feeling better than yesterday?�
�Yes. Why?� Kaylee asked again.
�I got NFG tickets.�
Kaylee sat up. �For tonight?�
Jamie nodded slowly. �Wanna come with?�
�How�d you get �em? I called every hook up I have and couldn�t get any.�
Jamie smiled. �I�ve got a few connections, too.�
Kaylee smiled, proud of her younger sister. �My baby sister has her own connections. Now I know what 4-H parents feel like.�
Jamie laughed. �I have a ridding lesson. Wanna take me and we�ll be concert bound after?�
Kaylee nodded. �Let me get dressed.� She stood and walked over to her closet, pulling out a clean pair of jeans and a red tank top. �Anyone else comin with us?�
�Nope, I only got two tickets.�
~*~*~*~*~
Kaylee parked the car in front of Prints, a local club. She loved that the place was small but she hated the crowd that always seemed to gather and make the room stifling.
�You did bring the tickets, right?� she glanced over at her younger sister.
Jamie simply nodded.
�Good, �cause I was gonna kick your ass if you said no.� Kaylee led Jamie to a side door where a rather large man was standing. �Hi,� she smiled.
He looked down at her for a moment before returning her smile. �Hi Kaylee. I�m guessing you want in this way so you don�t have to wait in line.�
Kaylee nodded.
�I�d let you, but I can�t. I will call up to the front door though and have them waiting for you.�
�So we getta cut the line?� Jamie asked.
The man nodded. He pulled a walkie-talkie off his belt and pressed the call button. �Front door.�
�Front door.�
�Kaylee Russell and one of her sisters are here. Let them a head of the line and inside.�
�Will do.�
Kaylee pushed up on her toes and kissed the man�s cheek. �I owe you.�
He shook his head. �No you don�t.�
Kaylee waved at him as she walked away.
�So this is how you always get into shows so quickly?� Jamie asked.
Kaylee nodded. �Usually. If I can�t get in a side or back door they ordinarily call up front and get me in. It�s one of the great pay-offs of knowing security.� She flipped off a couple of kids who cursed at them as they walked to the head of the line.
�Is this normal?�
�Yes it is.� Kaylee smiled at another security member at the front door.
�Kaylee. Come on in. This is?� the man asked motioning to Jamie.
�One of my younger sisters, Jamie. James, this is Mike.�
Jamie smiled up at him.
�Let�s go.� Mike led the two inside. Only a few kids were already inside, more than half of them were roadies.
Kaylee waved at a few of them before walking up to the man guarding the door that led backstage.
�Kaylee Russell. And you are on the list so I won�t give you any shit,� he smiled.
�How am I on the list? No one from NFG knew I was coming and Jamie�s the one who got the tickets.�
�You�re not on the NFG list. You�re on the Good Charlotte list.�
Kaylee turned to glare at Jamie. �You didn�t tell me GC was here.�
Jamie shrugged. �You didn�t ask?�
Kaylee rolled her eyes and led her sister past the man.
The first door they passed was open and the members of New Found Glory could be heard inside.
�Damn y�all are loud.� Kaylee leaned against the door frame, her arms crossed over her chest.
�Kaylee!� Ian stood and walked over to hug her. �I didn�t know you were coming.�
�I didn�t either until this morning. Jamie�s got some kind of amazing hook-up I don�t.�
Ian shrugged. �At least you got here. You could have called one of us and we could have given you tickets.�
�Didn�t remember you were even coming, truthfully.�
�Been getting a lot of hangovers?� Steve smirked.
�Yes, actually. Many of them.� Kaylee sat down between he and Jordan on one of the room�s couches. �Oh, this is my sister, Jamie.�
Greetings were exchanged.
�I know it�s kinda rude, but I have to ask,� Cyrus sat forward. �Why do Benji and Joel both change the subject every time one of us starts talking about you?�
Kaylee smirked. �Because I�m a cock tease. Don�t worry about it, Dude.�
�But you really are a cock tease,� Jordan laughed. �You have been since the day we met you.�
Kaylee shrugged. �You know you like it.�
�We�ve all decided he jacks off to your journal,� Chad laughed.
She scooted a little closer to Steve on the couch. �So how�s the tour been going?�
The room laughed.
�Billy! Hey man, come on in,� Ian smiled as he looked up at the no longer empty door way.
�I see you got the tickets,� Billy smiled down at Jamie.
�That was your grand hook up?� Kaylee looked over at her little sister.
Jamie shrugged. �Never said it wasn�t someone in the band.�
�So why�d you give her tickets?� Kaylee looked up at Billy.
�Because you need to talk to-�
�Hey there you are,� Joel interrupted as he and Benji came through the door. �We�ve been looking for you everywhere.�
�Look who we found,� Chad motioned towards Kaylee and Jamie.
Benji and Joel both visibly tensed.
�Forgot to tell you, I invited Jamie and Kaylee,� Billy smiled uncomfortably.
�I�m gonna go out to the main room. James, you can stay back here if you want.� Kaylee stood and brushed past the twins.
�Kaylee,� Billy called as he chased her down the hall way. �Kaylee wait.�
Kaylee stopped a few feet past the guard and turned to glare at him. �You planned this, didn�t you? You had my sister fucking lie to me.�
�Kaylee, let me explain,� he insisted.
�Is everything okay, Lee?� Mike was standing a few yards away.
Kaylee nodded. �Its fine, Mike.�
He nodded and went back to what he was doing.
�You need to talk to them.� Billy returned to their conversation.
�Why? So I can be called a skank? Tell me, Billy. I�m dying to know why I need to talk to them.�
It took him a few seconds to respond. �Because they both miss you.�
Kaylee�s head snapped up to look at him. That wasn�t what she expected to hear. �You should get backstage. People will start coming in soon.� She turned and walked over to the bar, which for the night, was suppose to serve only non-alcoholic drinks. Kaylee thanks the gods she knew the guy behind the bar.
