The Interview

FALLON

My palms itched as I shuffled around in my seat. There was no turning back; I had to do the interview, but it was the last place on earth I wanted to be.

After the fiasco of the music festival, I knew I was going to have to do a crapload of damage control. I sat fidgeting nervously, hoping that the interview with Colleen Ryder would be enough. Starr and I had barely spoken, it was going to be a while before our relationship got back to normal, but somehow I knew we’d figure it all out. The rest of my former bandmates were understandably pissed, I was getting hate mail from incredibly enraged fans, love notes from sympathetic super fans, and the paparazzi were not leaving me or any member of The Hysterics alone. It had taken just about a month for Dane to convince me that my plan of ordering Chinese takeout and hiding in our apartment for the rest of my life was not a solid one.

The hot lights beamed down on me as the crew finished setting up. The makeup artist placed the last couple of daubs of powder on my face as my interviewer took the chair in front of me.

Colleen Ryder. She was my journalism idol and now she was sitting across from me, notebook in hand, and a sweet, tightlipped smile on her face.

The mics were pinned onto us and she leaned in. “Are you ready?”

I smoothed out my blouse, trying to avoid eye contact. “As ready as I’ll ever be.”

The cameras started rolling.

Thank goodness this isn’t live.

I was sweating. My knee was trying to bounce uncontrollably. My cheeks were hot. My heart was thudding in my ears.

Colleen’s strong voice pierced the air, “Good evening, I’m Colleen Ryder and today we have a very special guest with us: Fallon Dunbar, former drummer of Regicide Assisted. Thank you for joining us tonight, Fallon.”

“Thank you, Colleen. I wish we were meeting under different circumstances.”

The truth was I wished I could go back into hiding and never have to meet Colleen or be in the spotlight at all, but I’d known that possibility had flown out the window right when I’d sat behind that drum set.

“So, Fallon, you pulled the wool over all of our eyes. Why did you assume a new identity and let everyone believe that you had overdosed?”

Straight to the point with this one, no pleasantries or beating around the bush.

“Because I needed to break free from a lifestyle that was killing me.”

“Yes, but so many musicians just quit and move on with their lives. Why didn’t you think that was a viable option?”

“Do they ever truly live normal lives though? I wanted to be able to walk around without someone trying to take my picture. I wanted to live a normal life.”

“I guess none of us can really blame you for that. What made you take the stage that night at the Underground Music Festival?”

“My fiancé Dane, the drummer for The Hysterics, couldn’t play, and I didn’t want to see all their hard work fly out the window.
