Chapter 1
I woke up at around three PM. Porsha my best friend was to busy making out with jinx (her gf) to notice I had woken up. I smack her in the head to get her attention. When she finally stoped sucking jinx’s face for .2 seconds I realized just how sober I was. I pointed to the bottle. She handed it to me. I immediately took a long slow drink. The burn felt good as it went down. I got up as she continued with her girlfriend. I was used to it at this point. I go to take a shower and yell behind me be back in 45. I hear a door slam and lock. The only thought that was going thru my mind was thank god I didn’t have to wake up in the middle of them screwing again. I grabbed a towel and my clothes out of the hall closet. I set my stuff out and turned on the water. While I waited for the water I turned on my music. Loud. Hoping that it would drown out the moans. I got in and felt the euphoria of the water against my skin. As I washed myself I was also singing along to the new album from my favorite band. Ok maybe i'm biased. It helps that my girlfriend is the drummer. But in my defense the music is good too. One song passed then the next. I finally gave up and just searched the song. My Favorite by them was called drink me down. As I screamed along to the lyrics the water started to go cold. I got out and looked at my hair. I needed to re-diy it. It was super faded so I decided to go to the store. Hell I was out of tequila anyway. I got my hair diy and my tequila. On the way home I decided to text my dealer. On the way to his house I open the bottle. When I get to his house he is waiting for me. Since it was my brother’s house I was at I asked to diy mu hair here. He said yes but asked why. I would rather not go home to my 2 best friends boning. I said. “Point taken”. I re-dyed my hair and went home confident they would be done by now. Just to be safe I smoked a joint before going into my beat up apartment.
I went in and THANK GOD. It was over. I put on some clothes on and went to work downstairs. My first costumers where already there. By the group I ran upstairs and got porsh and jinx. They stay rent free so they work when possible. My tattoo shop just opened for the day. They where down in five minutes. We started the day quickly. By 6 we where not busy. At 7:30 we closed early and I went to get ready for the concert. I put on my band shirt and did my eyeliner. I got ready pretty fast. I also grabbed some cash to get food with mosh after. I drove to the place. They where playing an underground gig at some dingy nightclub. I went straight backstage and went to find mosh. When I found her she was on her phone scrolling the internet bored.I surprised her with a hug from behind. “Babe you made it”. Wouldn't miss you for the world, love. “Its not like i’m the lead singer or anything so you wouldn’t miss much”. I would at least miss a good view. I said. I backed up to look at her outfit. Damn girl best view in the city right there. I winked. Her manager walked in. “Ok mosh stop flirting and get ready.” “Show is in 5”. She went out and mosh kissed me goodbye and left. I stayed backstage but moved so I had a clear view of the band. They played well then I took mosh out after. We went to the restaurant we always go to after her concert. I got my usual order she got hers and by that point its midnight. We went back to her house . I took a long drink out of my flask. I savored the burn as it went down and cleared my head. She looked at me with a hungry look in her eyes. I looked at her longingly drinking up her image as I stared intently.
