~~Disclaimer~~ I do not own any of the WWF wrestlers, none at all. But the other characters are mine. The story is not real, it's from my imagination.
Chapter 1
I was nervous, something that I had not felt in a long time. Sure, there was always that feeling of excitement, that energy that makes you wonder, if the outcome would be what you wanted to be. But I was used to the stage by now, after all I had two platinum records, and most everyone new my name.
"Crystal, come on your on." My guitarist Billy called to me. Maybe I'm nervous because I'm doing a club gig. I haven't done one in at least three years, mostly I did venues and stadiums. But I was doing a favor for my friend Misty. She owns the club that I'm playing at tonight.
I walked up to the side of the stage, and waited for the announcer to call my name. I smiled over to the band, or who I called my guys. They had been there for me no matter what. We had started out together, and we were all young. I started out at the age of 15, and the guys were all either 16 or 17. Now five years later, we had seen a lot of things that most people had never seen in their lifetime.
"And here for one night only, here's Crystal." The announcer said before walking off the stage.
I walked on to the stage, and grabbed my electric guitar, pulling it over my head, and situating it around my hips. We immediately began to play the first song, it was new and I wanted to see how the crowd would react to it.
Every night you come around
Wanting to know when I'll settle down
When will I become like you
My answer's always the same
Never will I be that way
But you come back every day
The music now picked up faster. I looked around the audience and my eyes fell on a good-looking guy in the back. His hair was died blue, and tied back in a ponytail. He was sitting with a group of people, and I could feel his eyes burning into me. I shook it off and began to sing the chorus.
******************************************************************
"Damn, girls why did you tell us, that she was that hot." Adam said watching Crystal perform.
I had to agree with him, she was gorgeous. She a mix of black and burgundy color hair, with green eyes, that seemed to be hiding secrets. And her body was killer, even though she was on the short side. She had on black leather pants, with a sparkly burgundy tube top that had stars of different sizes all around it. It showed off her big chest very well. Everyone just sat, watching her as she sang.
Why can't you get through your head?
I'm not just another pretty face
I would brother be deadThan trapped wearing white lace
I'm not your ordinary kind of girl
Waiting for the prince to rescue her
"Jeff, what do you think?" I heard Trish ask. I snapped out of my daze and looked over to her and Amy.
"What?" I asked.
"We were talking about how that would be a great intro song for Amy." Trish said with a sigh.
"Yeah, it would be great." I answered and turned my attention back to the stage.
"I didn't know that guitars could be so sexy." Adam said with a grin.
I had to agree with him, there was something about it that turned me on. I'm glad I changed my mind, and decided to come after all. When Amy and Trish first mention coming to hear Crystal, I didn't really want to go. I knew that she was a big star, but I didn't know that she was into real Rock music.
She finished the song, and gave a small out to the audience. She had a beautiful smile. I'm not sure, but for a minute there, I could have sworn she was looking straight at me. I sat up as she began to talk.
"Hi, and welcome to club Leo." Everyone began to clap and whistle. "Thanks everyone for coming out tonight. This is my friend Lea's new club, so I want you to spread the word about how fantastic it is. Chicago, let's Rock!" With that she began playing a fast song, her fingers flying over the guitar strings.
"Jeff, she was looking at you." Jason said hitting me on the shoulder.
"Jason, no she wasn't," I said hoping that I was wrong.
"Bro, I think Jason's right, she was staring at you for a moment." My brother Matt said joining in on the conversation.
"I wished," I mumbled sitting back in the chair.
"I wonder is I could talk to her about using her song." Amy said with a smile. "Let me go talk to Lea, maybe she can help me since their friends." Amy said getting up and going over to the club owner. Her and Amy had been friends for a while.
*************************************************************
"Good set." David, my drummer, said throwing his arm around me as we walked off stage. I had to admit, it was one of the best performance's we had done for awhile. Maybe it was because I didn't have to worry about everything that was going on around me on the stage. There was no pyro, no fog machines, nothing like that. Singing had actually been fun again, something that it hadn't been for awhile.
I made my way over to the bar. One of the perks of being famous, was that I got served fast, and I never got I.D'd. Which was good, considering I was only 20. The bartender made his way over to take my order. "I'll have a freddy." I said. Luckily the bartender knew what I meant, and went to get my drink. He handed me a bottle of Heineken.
After he handed it to me, I went over to sit with Lea. It had been awhile since I got to sit down with her, and really talk. As I headed over I saw the girl with the long red hair that had been sitting at the blue hair guy's table talking to her. As I approached they both looked up and greeted me.
"Hello." I said looking down at both of them.
"Hey Crystal, you were mind blown' tonight." Lea said pushing out a seat with her foot, so that I could sit down.
"Thanks. By the way I'm Crystal." I said reaching my hand over to the red hair girl.
"I'm Amy, it's nice to meet you." She took my hand shaking it. "I actually wanted to talk to you about something."
"Shoot away." I said taking a drink.
"I'm a wrestler for the WWE. Right now, I'm injured but I'll be making appearances as an announcer, and a valet. I was hoping that I could use one of your songs. The first one you did tonight, it goes great with my character."
I thought about it for a minute. I usually didn't like for people to use my songs, especially for movies and TV. But for some reason, I really liked Amy. She reminded me of my older sister.
"Amy I'll be honest, usually I don't let people use my songs, but for some odd reason, I'm finding myself really digging you, so sure. As long as I record it, and you use my voice." I said stating my conditions.
"I wouldn't want anyone else doing the song. Thank you so much. Would you like to come meet some of the other wrestlers?" She asked with a smile.
"Yeah, that would be great." I said getting up. Now I get to meet the blue haired guy. Yeah! I thought.
I followed her over to the table. "Crystal, I would like you to meet, Adam, Trish, Jay, Matt, and Jeff." She said pointing to around the table. So the blue hair guy's name was Jeff. "Everyone this is Crystal. She's agreed to do the song."
"You were great up there tonight, Crystal." The guy named Adam said.
"Thanks," I said looking over at him. He was good looking too, with his long blonde hair.
"So tell me, are all of you wrestlers?" I asked not having a clue. I didn't get to watch much t.v and if I did it were mostly music channels.
"Yeah, we all are." Amy said
"Are you all performing in Chicago?"
"Yeah, tomorrow night." Trish said with a smile. "Are you touring?"
"Actually, just finished last week. I was just doing this gig, as a solid for Lea." I said smiling back.
"A solid?" Matt asked with a confused look on his face.
"A favor. I'm sorry from where I've traveled so much, I tend to pick up on everyone's slang from different parts." I said. Matt shook his head like he understood.
I looked over at Jeff. He was staring at me, and as I caught him, he turned away blushing. I had to smile at him.
"So what are you doing on your time off?" Jay asked.
"Well nothing besides recording. I guess I'll be squeezing in, the recording for Amy's theme music, and doing a video. Which Amy I hope you don't mind, I was planning on releasing, "Atypical Girl," as a single."
"No, actually it will be good publicity." Amy said.
"Cool. I'll just need your company's people to get with my people." I said trying to get it worked out.
"No problem let me get your numbers." I gave her my manager's numbers. Then we exchanged personal numbers. I had a feeling we would end up becoming really good friends.
"It was nice to meet everyone, but I gotta go. I have to catch a plane out of here tonight. Amy I'm sure I'll be seeing you soon. Call me, I'm always traveling so I'm sure we'll be in the same city at some point. We can meet up and do something." And with that I got up and left. I wanted to leave a little mystery behind, especially if I wanted to get Jeff's attention. Hopefully, I would get to seem him again, and soon.
