Never know// Ricky Olson

Rowan's pov
Yesterday was an unforgettable day! We were lucky enough to witness some of the most breathtaking mountain views and the most mesmerizing light shows. And to top it off, Ricky proposed to me! I can't even begin to describe how ecstatic I am with how everything has been unfolding during these past few days. However, there was one incident that left a bad taste in my mouth. I am referring to the Ash incident with Leo. Just thinking about the situation sends shivers down my spine. I sincerely hope that no other unfortunate incidents occur during the rest of our tour.

As Chris bursts into the room, I look up and smile at him. "Hey Rowan!" he exclaims, his excitement almost palpable. I ask him what's up, amused by his enthusiasm. "So you know how you made me in charge of the gender of the baby?" he says, nodding eagerly. I nod back, wondering where this is going. "Can we announce it on stage tonight!" he blurts out, bouncing up and down like a little kid. I can't help but chuckle at his childlike excitement. "I don't think I've seen you this excited," I say, grinning. "But sure, why not!" Chris practically jumps for joy, and I can hear Ricky's voice in the background, shouting a warning. "Don't break the hotel room!" he yells. Chris laughs as he leaves the room, apologizing for his exuberance.

I began to experience a nauseating sensation in my stomach, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what might have caused it. Nevertheless, I'm determined not to let it spoil the rest of my day, and I'm hopeful that everything will turn out okay.

I gently placed my hand on Rowan's and asked, "Are you going to be okay for tonight? I know the baby has been giving you some trouble." She smiled faintly and replied, "I should be okay! Plus I can't miss the gender of the baby. You know how much Chris is excited about doing this. He's excited to be a grandfather."

As she laid her head down on my shoulder, I sensed her tensing up a little bit. Concerned, I asked, "Are you okay?" After a brief pause, she admitted, "I guess I'm still worried about the Leo and Ash situation. I don't know what's going to happen. And once our baby is born, it will be scary..."

I put my arm around her and pulled her closer, assuring her, "I won't let anything happen to you or the baby. And if something does, you know that me and the team will come and get you no matter what. We'll be there for you every step of the way."

As Rowan gave me a quick peck on my cheek, Vinny unexpectedly walked into the room. "Sorry, guys. I was hanging out with Ryan and Chris. Chris asked me to remind you all to get ready. Our set is starting early today because In This Moment had to cancel due to illness. However, they did want to make sure they didn't miss the gender reveal!", Vinny informed us. Rowan immediately stood up and began to search for an outfit. "Sounds great!", I exclaimed, pulling Vinny aside to speak privately. "We have to be extra vigilant tonight and tomorrow since this is our last day on tour. Rowan is worried that Leo or Ash might come back," I revealed to Vinny. He looked puzzled and said, "But Leo is in jail and we already removed Ash from the tour because of the previous incident." "I know, but we can't be too careful," I replied, sounding a bit annoyed. Vinny nodded, looking stressed.

A few hours pass
Chris' pov
As the clock ticked closer to showtime, the fans grew increasingly restless, their voices ringing out in a deafening chorus of "MOTIONLESS". I couldn't help but notice that Rowan, one of our crew members, seemed to be feeling uneasy. Perhaps the pressure of tonight's performance was getting to her. One by one, my bandmates took the stage. Vinny went first, followed by Ryan, Ricky, and Justin. Finally, it was my turn. As I stepped out onto the stage, I could see Rowan standing at the side, watching us intently as we prepared to perform alongside Ice Nine Kills and In This Moment. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are Motionless in White!" I shouted into the mic, eliciting a thunderous round of applause from the crowd. "And tonight, we're going to give you a performance you'll never forget!" With a grin, I launched into our opening number, "Infamous". The heavy riffs of our guitars blended seamlessly with Vinny's thunderous drumming, sending the audience into a frenzy. "Sing along if you know it, and if you don't, sing along anyway!" I shouted, and the crowd responded by belting out the lyrics at the top of their lungs. It was going to be a night to remember.
