“She sure does, I’m not much for praying but I pray the fans don’t rip her apart. ” Lily remarked. She rocked back and forth on her heels. “Don’t worry Johnny, I’ll stick to the whole ‘leaving the band was my choice’ and put any speculation to rest. I will do my best to make it believable.” A bubble of laughter fell past her lips. She slumped into a nearby seat and put her head in her hands. “What are the fucking odds the paparazzi would suspect me of going solo and now I’m being forced too.” Lily shook her head in amusement. “I’m not gonna give up music, if things were different I’d still be playing it with you guys.” She sighed and began shaking her leg. “Um.. I guess I’ll see you when the Svengali sessions start.”

           “I’m hoping they don’t either, but our fans are about as relentless as we are. Pun intended...” He sighs, he ran  hand through his hair, which didn’t do a whole lot but mess it up. “I know, I’m trusting you with that.” He says with a small shrug of his shoulders. With everything else going on, he had a lot to worry about. “Given all the bullshit they spew about us anyway, I wouldn’t be surprised if they think they’re lying about it for attention.” Johnny huffs, a hand running over his face The joys of being famous he supposed. “I know, if I thought I could handle it, I’d let you stay, but it’s...been a bit too much lately. I know that makes me a bit of a dick, but...” He trails off before he sighs. “Yeah, pray he doesn’t eat us alive.”

Lily let out a breath of relief. “Okay that’s good to know.” Ever since she got sober she’d been trying to be a better person and staying on good terms with Johnny is what she wanted most. “Thanks, it totally would’ve stung even more if you’d already found someone.” She paused clearing her throat. “I’d like to meet her when that day comes.” The redhead let out a sniffle and dug her hands in her pocket, “I’ll announce my departure on Hit Parader next week.” 

              Johnny knew it wasn’t going to be easy going forward, for either of them. They still had the rest of the album to record and as per the agreement with the rest of the band with Lily’s firing, they had to record the rest of it with Svengali, a decision Johnny was not happy about. “I’ll be more than happy for you to meet her, she’ll have some pretty big shoes to fill..” Johnny mentions idly before he sighs, leaning back in his seat. “Alright, good.” He already knew the fans weren’t going to take this well and were bound to speculate after she made the announcement, he was trusting her to stick to the story they were being told to tell.

With his impression, she laughed. “Perfect, I’d hire you.” She waited for him, letting him do what he had to. Alissia was excited for him, but nervous all the same. Of course, she may not admit that out loud. But with her current sobriety, she was hoping she could help him keep a level head. She hoped she could save him from himself, and whatever monsters were out there. Alissia would keep his past and the darkness as far from him as she could, while she still could. She couldn’t tell him the truth, not when he seemed to be getting back on track.

Once she had his attention, she smiled widely. “Let’s go…here!” Alissia took his hand, pulling him over to a booth that held cans that were meant to be knocked over with baseballs. She looked up at the hanging prizes, and smiled. Alissia took some cash out of her pocket, and handed it to the man. She took a ball, and handed one to Johnny. “Gentlemen before ladies, Mr. Faust.”

                Johnny laughs at her response to him impersonating some TV lawyer. Though he’d dealt with plenty of real ones in his time since moving out to LA, but he wasn’t about to start spouting things they said for the sake of a joke. It was not worth the trip down memory lane. He hated to admit it now, but his own sobriety hinged on a lot of things, relapsing was one of his fears, losing everything again was another. He had a lot of ghosts that he knew would come out once the spotlight was on him again, he just hoped now that he’d made the snap decision for an impromptu return to stage that he wouldn’t regret it. There was going to be questions....a lot of questions about why he’d disappeared for 15 months.

He smiles at her as she takes his hand and leads him over to one of the booths with the carnival games. He gave the person working the booth a small smile before he looked at Alissia again as she handed him one of the balls. “Man...now I get to show you how bad my athletic skills are.” He laughs, taking the ball and waiting a moment before attempting to knock the cans down, he didn’t miss, but he didn’t knock them all down either.

Lily sucked in a shaky breath. “oh that’s good. I thought you would hate me all over again after what she did, embarrassing me like that in public. obviously the band doesn’t have the best reputation and I had been trying so hard to not attract negative press since we’ve been back…” She looked down fiddling with the sleeves of her sweater before her brown eyes met his piercing blue ones. “are you going to look for my replacement after my farewell show or have you already started?”

             “I heard what happened from Gretchen, rather than the crap the media was saying about Jade...honestly, it’s hardly the worst thing to happen surrounding the band.” That rabbit hole went a lot deeper than the media knew. There was the issue of Faith after all, something he was stubbornly keeping to himself for the time being.  “...Maya’s looking into it at the moment, we won’t make the decision until after your farewell show though, we didn’t think it’d be fair on you if we had someone new around already.”

“I know I messed up big time, is there no way to put any of it behind us?” Lily could feel her voice start to quiver. “I just…I uh. I haven’t fucked up in a really long time, well except for the thing with Jade but that wasn’t my fault and I buried the hatchet with gretchen..” Lily trailed off and let out a frustrated sigh. “This fucking sucks but hey that’s what you get when you fuck everything up.” The redhead profusely blinked back tears. “Ever since we talked at the Rainbow I thought me leaving is what’s best for the band,  given well everything but I got to thinking fuck that, the Relentless is too important for me to let go. I don’t really have a choice in the matter.” She wiped the tears from her face and tried to remain calm. “We were on hiatus for fifteen months and have only been back together what a few weeks, why now? why kick me out now?”

             Johnny would admit he felt guilty about this, both of them were equally at fault for what happened, what he blamed her for. He sighs, shaking his head as his brows furrow. “This isn’t about what happened at the cafe with Jade.” He says to her, he’d heard about it from Gretchen as he tended to avoid tabloids because they only had part of the story. “Things change, I thought I could move on from what happened, that we’d be okay and I tried....but, I can’t.” Truth was e was too scared of losing Gretchen after losing her once and Lily was a source of worry given their history, so creating distance was something he was trying to do. “Things don’t always turn out the way we want them to, and I’ve tried to pretend we weren’t out of our minds, fucking each other....but I can’t let that go.”

“I just want an explanation.” Lily pleaded, taking a step closer to Johnny. “I thought we were good. This band is all that I have.”

              Johnny sighs, he supposed he owed her that much. “We are good, but...I don’t see it being any good that we continue to work together in the Relentless. It’s not a decision I’m making lightly, Lily....It’s just...I look at you and I’m reminded of what happened, it makes things far too complicated.”

“I feel like you were made for the stage.” Alissia smiled, before laughing softly. “However I could see you as a bad-ass lawyer though.” She tried to stay on topic of the conversation, but they were finally at the carnival and she was excited. There was so much to experience and explore, and she got to do it with her best friend. Alissia stayed by him as they got out of the car, having a tendency to get distracted and wander off. She knew she was safest not only with someone, but with Johnny. 

Alissia nodded. “Oh, is that what that means? I would never. I dont drive, so how could I comment on someone else.” She shrugged. Alissia was ready to support him with is come back, she’d be there for him no matter what. Getting to the front gate, she followed him. “What should we do first?” 

               Johnny smiles at her comment about how she could see him as a badass lawyer, he just laughs. He then does a rather bad lawyer impression, one too many crime shows and real life encounters it seems. “Your honour, my client is innocent~” He then laughs again, “no...I don’t see it.” He says. Once he’d made the post online about him returning to the stage with the band, he held his arm out to her to walk into the carnival itself, his phone being returned to his pocket and ignored for now, knowing damn well it was about to blow up with messages and emails.

“Yeah, it’s why it’s called back seat driving, some people do it a lot and god it’s annoying.’ He makes a bit of a face and he shook his head. “Since you’re not gonna make those comments though, I’m happy to have you as a co-pilot.” He walks with her and he has a look around at the different things, “Well, since we just ate, let’s try something slow paced, pick a game and we’ll go play it together.” He gestures towards them and smiles

Beth grinned and ran one of her hands up and into his hair from his neck. “You really are something Johnny Faust, I still can’t believe you did that.” She smiled against his lips, pulling away from the kiss to yell up to the sky. “THE RELENTLESS ARE BACK!”

              Johnny smiles brightly at her words, chuckling against her lips at her words. Honestly he was a little surprised in himself too that he did that, but he wasn’t going to take it back. He watches her as she pulled back and yelled, he laughs, cheering with her a bit before he nuzzled against her neck sweetly.

The blonde scoffed slightly, playfully shoving his cheek away from her palm. “Hey now, I’m only saying that because we need somewhere to live.” Beth laughed slightly and leaned up to cup his face and plant an excited kiss on his lips.

           He laughs as she pushes his head away from her hand, turning his gaze back to her as he grins gently. “I know, that’s why I made the video. And I’ll deal with the consequences of that later.” He murmurs before she’d leaned up to kiss him, meeting her half way so she didn’t have so far to go.

[letxhimxburn]

runwaymodel-bethany​:

Beth’s lips curled up into a smile, stepping beside him to see the last little bit of the video before looking up at him with a surprised grin, reaching up to stroke his cheek. “That’d leave me, right next to you, taking on any and all obstacles while keeping my hand in yours the whole time.”

              He leans into her hand as she reached up to stroke his cheek, nuzzling into her palm a bit as he brought his own hand over hers. His gaze turns back to her as that smile remains on his lips. “Says the woman telling me to get back out there.” He says playfully, chuckling a bit.

Beth’s eyes watched as he moved away from her, widening as she watched him make a video and post it for the world to see, holding an index finger up as she slowly walked towards him. “Johnny…did you just do what think you did?”

            Johnny’s lips curl upward as he smiles at her, moving a bit to let her see that he had indeed made that video. He’d be hearing about it later, he knew that much. He sighs, reaching for her again, “I did, yes...I can’t wallow in what happened forever. I mean...I can, but I dunno where that’d leave the two of us.”

amelia’s nose wrinkled at the thought of cows being so deadly and dangerous but she couldn’t really put it past them either. they were animals and its always safer to say that they’re always going to be unpredictable. putting her hands up submissively she shook her head, “ alright, alright. i’ll have to face the fact that as UDDER-LY cute they are, they’re the pasture’s black widows. ” the girl said before taking her bottom lip between her teeth to stifle the giggle that almost bubbled up. she looked between the male and the vase before she grabbed a marker and wrote his name underneath it. “ i– what? no– please?! ” she pouted before she let out a faint huff as he stepped back. “ there, at least i’ll know it’s here. ” amelia said defiantly before she looked at him with either hand settled onto the counter. “ probably not. i know you’re right about the statistics but– you just look like this total badass with tattoos and piercings and the dark hair and mysterious glint, i wouldn’t take you to be afraid of a king cobra let alone a cow. ” amelia replied softly as she shrugged back. “ more sterotypes– i’m sorry. at least now you’ll have another crazy story to tell your next interview. ‘ i got held up in a flower shop with a psycho who argued about cows.’ that should make a few headlines. ”

              Johnny had worked out by now that cheesy jokes and bad puns were gonna be a constant thing around her, but that didn’t stop the visible cringe he felt at the cow pun she made. “Kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel with that one.” He laughs, shaking his head a bit.  “They’re cute, means they’re disarming if you’re not aware of how insane they can be.” It was a bout of boredom that him leaving a bunch of pointless facts one day, the one about cows kind of stuck with him. “I don’t wanna sign something I’m not proud of...pretty sure I crushed half those flowers accidently. It looks so sad.” He jokes softly, shaking his head a bit and he slides his hands into his pockets. “You wanna know what’s funny? I’m not scared of snakes, I think they’re cool. But put me in a paddock with Daisy and I’ll probably cry.” A pause. “Okay maybe that’s a bit dramatic, but still,” he chuckles then shakes his head. “I’m not scared of the cows in petting zoos strangely enough.” He shrugs, why the hell was he admitting this? He clears his throat and he chuckles, “Well, you’re right, it would make a decent story to tell the tabloids.”

she raised a brow at him tauntingly as she placed a hand on the table in front of them, resting her weight against it as she stared up at him. “ i want statistical proof of those encounters, johnny. cows just go around grazing and being milked. unless someone has died from being lactose intolerant than i think you’d be the first to get merked by daisy or her bestie petunia. ” the girl teased back, rolling her eyes at him playfully before returning her gaze to the trimmed stems. she took the flowers and placed them into a small black vase and smiled. it wasn’t the prettiest arrangement but there was something warm about it. “ i think i’ll keep this one at the shop as a reminder of your presence. ” she smiled, turning to him to hold out the small bouquet. “ want to autograph the vase so everyone knows it was made with your special touch? it’s got a very addams family vibe to it. i like it. ” the girl smiled before she shrugged, looking up at him. “ who says it would be a waste? its an inside joke between two unconventional secret friends. i imagine being on the road can be kinda lonely, maybe one of them will catch your eye enough to keep you company– or to help you relax when you’ve had one of those long as fuck days and the paps won’t leave you alone. not all florists are gonna be as inviting as i am. ” amelia smirked. “ it’ll be a way to remember me. “

            Johnny’s brows furrow a bit at her words, chuckling softly, “it is a statistic that cows are more dangerous than sharks. I’m sure I can find stories from farmers about how batshit crazy they can be. I dunno why I’d lie about that.” He could very easily use the internet to prove that he wasn’t lying, cows weren’t as cute as they seemed. “They’re deceptively cute, you know.” He laughs and he shakes his head again. He’s not sure why he’s arguing about cows right now, but it’s not the most insane conversation he’d had in his life time, at least that he can remember. “I don’t wanna autograph the vase...” He says softly, smiling a little bit at that. he steps back a bit from the counter he’d been standing by as he listens to her go on about her potentially leaving cow plushies for him as an inside joke between them, he just laughs. “I’m not gonna live down the fact I said that cows scare me, am I? I dunno why that’s so weird to you.” Johnny shrugs his shoulders.
