She lay there in the bed curled up, it was nice to be in a bed, it was nice to be able to rest, but that was the extent of her good fortune, she was freezing beneath the blankets and her forehead glistened with beads of persperation, she cursed under her breath and pulled the covers tight about her.. she tried to smirk thinking of how cute he'd been all morning, doting on her but she felt wretched, she closed her eyes and drifted off...
He closed the door behind him with a sigh, she looked so small laying there, he didn't want to leave but she insisted dhe was fine.. "Just tired..." she said, she was flushed and couldn't even keep water down,and in no condition to come to the 3rd gig this week. He got onto the bus and they started across town, trying to focus on the show. They were in his home town so they were finishing up a run of three shows to round out the weekend. Hell, even he was tired but tonight was the last night for a whole week. He'd make it through tonight.
When she awoke she was slightly confused as to where he was, then she remembered his gig and groaned rollong out of bed and staggering into the bathroom. She took a looong look at herself before sticking out her tongue out at herself. She needed a shower and she'd look and feel 100% better. She turned the hot water on and after turning on some music stepped into the hot water letting the hot water rejuvinate her as best it could, when she stepped out, the bags beneath her eyes remained, and she looked tired. She frowned at herself and said with conviction to the empty bathroom "I'll put on my face, get dressed, and meet him backstage.. that'll bite his pickle* for sure." She noded as if to convince herself and started getting ready...
They had played an awesome show, the crowd was jumpin' and there was energy in the air, he colapsed onto a couch backstage and smiled as someone handed him a bottle of water which he took greatfully, but as soon as he tipped it up to sip, a female body slid into his lap. He frowned lightly and looked int othe face of his ex, they had manages to stay a sort of friends since the split and apparently had schmoozed her way back stage just to see him. Just what he needed, he made an effort to shoo her off but she was sticking like polyester on a fat man. He sighed and she smiled and wrapped her arms around him.. "Come on dawl, you played great up there.. made me remember exactky how hot you are..." and then, much to his suprise and displeasure she affixed her mouth to his.
She had finally found someone that knew where he was, and as she slipped around the cornerr she caught sight of him, smiling she pushed through a few of the people milling about backstage letting him come into full view. She let out a groan as she saw him, her stomach turning violently, she turned on her heels frocing her way back the way she came and out the stage door. There she doubled over and vomited leaning hard on the building. His drummer came outside a girl hanging off each arm, taking note of her he wandered pointed his newest trophies to the bus and walked tward her... "His girlfriend is here you know, you should probably.. you know.. go somewhere?" She managed a nod and slowly, heart broken she began to walk in the direction of the hotel.
He'd been so suprised to see her he'd shoved his ex violently from his lap to the floor in an attempt to jump up in time to catch her, to explain. He scowled at his ex one last time and if looks could kill the girl on the floor would have been shattered into pieces where she sat. He ran tward the side door asking everyone he could which way she'd gone. Once outside he couldn't see her anywhere, he ran up the steps to the bus but it only housed his drummer and two very enthusiastic fans. When questioned as to weather he'd seen her, he noded and pointed to nowhere specific.. "I told her your girl was in there, and she might not wanna go in, she just walked off..."
Thoughts turned over in her head as she sat in the curb, not two blocks from the club her head between her knees. She sat there her head swimming from either the fever or the shock, muttering quietly to herself. He had looked amazing, he always did, and as soon as she saw him he tok her breath away, then, the apparent 'girlfriend' was eating his face. "Ok, just sit here, don't take a cab, don't move. If he comes to get you, that's somthing, don't jump to conclusions girl... but.. what if he doesn't..." she was silenced by the sound of footsteps on the blacktop running toward her.
He looked through the light drizzle his eyes scanning the parking lot, he'd run in the direction of the hotel, he thought maybe she'd go back there, he crossed his arms over his chest and cursed, it was getting damned cold. As he walked he thought he saw.. YES ! that had to be her, he started for her as fast as he could move, she looked so pale in the soft lights, the black of her corsette and so dark against her alabaster skin, her eyes, so bright looked tired and sad, her hair was wet and hung limply in her eyes and over her shoulders, she was shivvering, the profanity continuing he pulled off his coat wraping it around her.
She recieved the coat gratefully and when he sat down next to her she scooted closer draping the trench across both their shoulders and rested her head upon his bare chest. She wanted to say hurtfull things, she wanted to yell, but she couldn't... she patted his knee and looked into his eyes before in her most steady even voice asked "So.. suprise I decided to show even though I feel like hell.. how was the show?" She didn't mean for it so sound harsh, but she was sure it had, she sighed and was utterly overwhelmed and confused, and looked at him in earnesty, as if to say just tell me... somthing, anything, I'll believe it...
He couldn't believe she wasn't yelling, he just wrapped his arms around her, kissed her forehead, and almost laughed, he was so.. relieved. Any other girl would be gone, or screaming, or both, but she sat there and waited, she was so amazing. She didn't even want an explanation, and as she looked into her eyes he almost cried the very same tears that rolled down her cheeks... "You amaze me.. I mean.. I know I keep saying it.. but.." he fell silent the words sounding hollow, his arms wrapped around her, he couldn't say what he felt , he just held her so tightly, and finding his voice again he whispered softly almost frantically "I dont wanna loose you, you mean way too much to me, I refuse to... I wont let it happen... you know I'd never tell you to leave.. NEVER..."
She was being held so tight to him she could barly breathebut she didn't care, everything he said, made any thought, any doubt in her mind vanish, they sat together on the curb for what could have been ages or minutes, they were alone again, together, and complete. Things have to have ups and down, they make us appreciate eachother all the more, and this was somthing that bonded them tighter than ever. When she came out of her thoughts she pulled slowly away and kissed the tip of his nose standing slowly tugging on his hand swinging it playfully. "Come on you.. I hear Dennys callin for some 3 am coffee... and my mother always told me not to play in the streets." She smiled brightly and gave her best 'come -hither' smile tugging him to his feet and walking off with him down the empty street, their hands locked together, towards the citys lights.
*that'll bite his pickle = that'll make his day
