Jackie smiled as she put the phone up to her ear. "I knew it would be you."
"Of course it's me. You were awesome Jackie." Scott said as Jackie laughed.
"Thank you. So what's up?"
"Well we're playing a show near you next weekend and I was wondering if you wanted to open and play a few song with us?"
"What happened to Flyleaf?"
"Their guitarist got hurt…come on please Jackie?"
"Alright I'll come." Scott laughed as Jackie smiled.
"I knew you would. I'll call you with all the details and some tickets. You going to invite anyone?"
"Yeah I have a few ideas." Jackie said her goodbyes before hanging up.
She stared down at her phone and contemplated on calling him. She'd been avoiding his calls for the last week because she had no idea what to say. Yeah they'd gotten close, but that still didn't fix all the things that had happened. She didn't think that anything would fix that.
She scrolled through her contacts until she found Donna's number and hit the send button.
"Hello," She heard some one groggily answer.
"Donna?" She asked and all she got in response was a grumble.
"Who wants to know?"
"Donna its Jackie."
"Oh…what do you want?"
"Are you okay?"
"Am I okay? Yeah I'm just peachy. Buried my son and now I'm going to bury myself in this bottle." She said before the call was disconnected.
Jackie scrolled through her contacts and found Hyde's number.
"Was beginning think you didn't want to talk to me." Hyde said as Jackie sighed.
"Steven, it's complicated. But it's not why I called."
"Why did you call then?"
"I just got off the phone with Donna and she sounded-"
"Drunk?"
"Yeah."
"That's because she is. All the time now."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah Eric doesn't know what to do with her. I have Stephanie here most of the time now."
"Oh my god." Jackie sat down and let his words sink in.
"I tried to call you to let you know, but you wouldn't answer."
"I've been busy."
"Oh I know. I saw your performance today." He said as Jackie groaned.
"Steven please."
"Fine whatever. Look I'll handle everything back here."
"Steven Donna needs me."
"Yeah well you're not here." He said before he hung up on her.
"Why does everyone keep hanging up on me?" She slammed her phone back into her bag before walking out of the room and down to her limo.
"Jackie Jackie Jackie!" Scott said as Jackie walked over to him with a smile on her face.
"Hi Scott." He pulled her into a tight hug and she laughed at his enthusiasm.
"I missed you Jacks."
"I missed you too Scotty." He grabbed her hand and dragged her over to the stage.
"So what are you singing for us tonight?"
"I'm opening with my new stuff."
"Awesome. Well we're doing some of our old stuff since you're here. I'm so excited." He walked away and Jackie couldn't help but catch a little of his excitement.
"This will be great." She said to herself before she made her way to the dressing room to get ready.
"GOOD EVENING!" Jackie screamed as the crowd screamed with her. She laughed and smiled at everyone.
"Wow that's excitement. Well it's great to be here. You guys are lucky you get to heard some stuff I'm putting on my new album." She said as the crowd cheered again.
"Okay this first one is called Tire Swing." Jackie started playing the guitar and the crowd was mesmerized.
I took the Polaroid down in my room
I'm pretty sure you have a new girlfriend
it's not as if I don't like you
it just makes me sad whenever I see it
cuz I like to be gone most of the time
and you like to be home most of the time
if I stay in one place I lose my mind
I'm a pretty impossible lady to be with
Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
and I never met a Toby that I didn't like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended
I had a dream that I had to drive to Madison
to deliver a painting for some silly reason
I took a wrong turn and ended up in Michigan
Paul Baribeau took me to the giant tire swing
gave me a push and he started singing
I sang along while I was swinging
the sound of our voices made us forget everything
that had ever hurt our feelings
Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
and I never met a Toby that I didn't like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended
wouldn't be offended
now I'm home for less than twenty-four hours
that's hardly time to take a shower
hug my family and take your picture off the wall
check my email write a song and make a few phone calls
before it's time to leave again
I've got one hand on the steering wheel
one waving out the window
if I'm a spinster for the rest of my life
my yarns will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights
Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
and I never met a Tobey that I didn't like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended...
wouldn't be offended...even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended
Jackie smiled as the crowd continued to cheer. "Wow thank you so much. Alright this last song is called Moving on. It's something I wrote to a person I want to become friends with."
I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I'm movin' on
I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they're always the same
They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone
I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
Jackie announced that there was going to be a short break then the guys would be on stage. She walked off and Scott pulled her into his arms.
"That last one was about him wasn't it?" He asked and she nodded.
"I want to be his friend. I don't think I can offer him anymore than that."
"That's understandable sweetie. Are you ready for this?" He asked as he handed her the keytar.
"Oh yeah. I was born ready for this." She smiled and together they walked on the stage with the rest of the guys.
"HELLO!" Scott screamed as everyone cheered. He turned to Jackie and smiled.
"You think they're loud enough?" He asked into the mic as Jackie shook her head.
"You know Scott I don't think they're ready for us." Jackie smiled even more as the crowd screamed their lungs off.
"That's more like it." Scott said before he motioned for Patrick to start playing.
"Smile for the paparazzi kids!" He screamed as everyone cheered. Even Jackie felt herself getting excited at the thought of playing again.
Mira papi, tranquilo ok, vos boludo que te pasa? Venite para aca
y dale a esos hijos de puta un sonrisita.
Take back what they've taken if you wanna play it safe.
Keep on money makin',
gotta save for rainy days.
Take it slow, oh yeah you never know.
Strike while it's hot -
There ain't that much room at the top.
Oh yeah gotta make your way to the top.
Gotta get to the top.
Party queens:
If you wanna be seen,
take a shit where you sleep,
and smile real wide for the pa-pa-pa-pa-paparazzi
pa-pa-pa-pa-paparazzi everywhere
Hear hear! Now you're famous
do you know the price you pay?
hope that ain't contagious
I ain't gonna live that way.
Thank you, no,
But I don't need to go to that spot
Get these climbers off my jock.
Oh yeah gotta step away from my jock.
Step the fuck off my jock.
Party queens:
If you wanna be seen,
take a shit where you sleep,
and smile real wide for the pa-pa-pa-pa-paparazzi
pa-pa-pa-pa-paparazzi everywhere
Party queens:
If you wanna be seen,
take a shit where you sleep,
and smile real wide for the pa-pa-pa-pa-paparazzi
pa-pa-pa-pa-paparazzi everywhere
Jackie laughed as Scott started dancing across the stage breaking into a totally different song. She found herself following along with him when she noticed someone standing off to the side of the stage. Her eyes met his and he gave her a small smile. She wanted to run to him and ask him what he was doing that, but she knew she couldn't do that to the guys. So she threw herself into the next song, laughing as Scott danced over to her singing.
And I came here to make you dance tonight
I don't care if I'm a guilty pleasure for you
And I don't even know
what kind of fool you're taking me for
So you've got some brand new clothes
you never could afford before
Oh brother, spare us all
We don't care anymore
We just wanna get down on the floor
You sold yourself to make it
You can dish it but can you really take it?
(oh, oh, oh)
You're never gonna get it with nothing
'cause nothing's what you got in your head (oh)
So stop pretending
I came here to make you dance tonight
I don't care if I'm a guilty pleasure for you
Shut up 'cause we won't stop
We're getting down 'til the sun's coming up
I came here to make you dance tonight
I don't care if I'm a guilty pleasure for you
Shut up 'cause we won't stop
We're getting down 'til the sun's coming up
And I don't even read
what the papers gotta say about me
Oh, no, I can't believe
they take it so serious, seriously
I'm so bored, oh please
Don't talk anymore
Shut your mouth and get down on the floor
So cynical?
Poor baby
I can dish it 'cause I know how to take it
(oh, oh, oh)
You're never gonna win 'em all
So fuck 'em if they can't take a joke
I'm just playin'
I came here to make you dance tonight
I don't care if I'm a guilty pleasure for you
Shut up 'cause we won't stop
We're getting down 'til the sun's coming up
I came here to make you dance tonight
I don't care if I'm a guilty pleasure for you
Shut up 'cause we won't stop
We're getting down 'til the sun's coming up
And maybe someday I'll believe
(maybe someday I'll believe)
that we are all a part of some bigger plan
Tonight I just don't give a damn
(So shut your mouth it's time to dance)
If the world is ending, I'm throwing the party
And I came here to make you dance tonight
I don't care if I'm a guilty pleasure for you
Shut up 'cause we won't stop
We're getting down 'til the sun's coming up
I came here to make you dance tonight
I don't care if I'm a guilty pleasure for you
Shut up 'cause we won't stop
We're getting down 'til the sun's coming up
I came here to make you dance tonight
I don't care if I'm a guilty pleasure for you
Shut up 'cause we won't stop
We're getting down 'til the sun's coming up
The rest of the concert went on like that. Jackie would glance over every so often just to make sure he was still there and he'd nod at her each time. Finally the night was over and after giving the audience a double encore Jackie walked off the stage pulling him with her to her dressing room.
"Okay what are you doing here?" She asked as he laughed.
"Well I actually came to see you. I didn't know you were performing." He laughed and she smacked his shoulder.
"Cut the crap Steven. What the hell are you doing here?"
"We need your help?"
"What's going on? She asked before he motioned for her to sit down.
"Donna is getting really bad. Eric is staying with me now. He can't be there anymore."
"What happened? When I left she wasn't perfect but she wasn't terrible either."
"She just couldn't do it. She stopped looking at Stephanie and retreated to her room. The only time Eric saw her was when she needed a drink."
"How long has she been drinking?"
"Since the day you left." He whispered.
"I'm coming home." Jackie said as she stood up.
"What about your new album?" Hyde stood up beside her.
"Fuck my album…my family needs me." Jackie walked out of the room as Hyde smiled then followed after her.
A/N: Ha she's coming home. You didnt think it would be Hyde on the phone did you? Oh you did. Sorry. lol. Hope you enjoyed this. If you read Session 9 i have posted that final chapter and it's waiting for you to let me know how it was. Thanks for reading let me know what you thought.
