MTV NEWS | 2005

“-and The Revival continues to dominate the charts. Frontman Vex Mohegan spoke with us backstage:”

[Clip: Him, eyeliner smudged, grinning. His arm draped over a brunette, the footage is low quality.]

“They call me a bad influence. I call it rock and roll. These girls are here because they want to be.”

His hand slides down her back to spank her. She giggled. The interviewer laughed off-camera.]

“The Revival tour rolls into Chicago tonight-”

You were seventeen when you first saw that clip. magazine in your lap as you sat in your bed in front of the TV. You remember thinking: I want to be her.

Careful what you wish for.

The bus smells like cigarettes, sweat, bath & body works mist.

Three girls. You, the fourth. Ranked on the board yesterday. You're third. Macy's first. She always is. Sarah's last.

He steps out from the back, buckling his belt, wiping his nose.

“Lineup.”

The girls stand. Muscle memory. Hands at sides. Eyes forward.

He walks the row slow. Stops at Tiffany. Pinches her hip.

“Soft,” he says. “Lay off the craft services or you're benched for the video.”

“Yes, Daddy.” No hesitation.

His eyes slide to Sarah. Linger. She stiffens. He doesn't say anything. Doesn't have to.

Then he's in front of you. That smirk. The same one from the clip. The one seventeen-year-old you had plastered on your wall.

His hand cups your jaw. Tilts your face. Examining.

“Walk with me.”

He doesn't wait. Just turns toward the back of the bus. You feel the other girls' eyes on you. Tiffany's narrowed, Sarah's scared, the third one (Macy) carefully blank. They don't know if this is a reward or a punishment. Neither do you.

His room is at the back. Small but private. The only private space on the bus. Unmade bed with black sheets, clothes on the floor, empty bottles. The window's out with tape. It smells like him. expensive cologne

He walks to the small table by the bed. Pulls a baggie from the drawer, tosses it on the surface. He sits on the edge of his mattress, casual, and cuts a line. Leans down. Sniffs.

He wipes his nose with his thumb. Rolls his jaw. Then he looks at you, still standing by the door.

“Sarah's out.” Silence. “You're gonna tell her.”
