So, did you guys like the last chapter? I wouldn't know, cuz I got like 2 reviews (I Luff You Kris). So, I'm going to do the next one. I'm kind of having writers block, so it's a little crappy.
Chapter 5: The Fourth Drink Instinct
I leave the room quickly, and all I hear are screams of "IT WASN'T MY FAULT!" and "WHAT ABOUT US" and "BUT I CA-" and "VINCENT SPIEDERMAN?" Before I know it, Tommy steps out of Jude's dressing room, and we're face to face. He throws a punch, and it hits me square on the nose. As I slide down the wall, he turns around to me and says, "Good job, boy. You just lost the best producer in Canada." He stalks away, and I cradle my nose. I stand up, and walk into Jude's room. I see her with a golden chain in her hands, head in her hands, crying. I walk over to her and sit on the couch.
"Are you okay?" I ask with all sincerity. She picks up her head from her hands. She looks over to me and I see the eyeliner running. I put my arm around her shoulder and she leans into kiss me. But, I put a finger to her lips. She opens her mouth to talk.
"Speed, your nose is swelling. What happened?" She asks.
"I got punched. What else?" When she hears me say that I see a tear run down her face. I wipe it away. She gets up and runs out of the room. I follow after her. We both run into Wally, who tells us we're heading over to the hotel we're staying at. When we arrive there, Jude instantly walks into the bar, pulling out her Fake ID. I follow in after her. She's downing shot after shot. I see her walk out onto the dance floor and I run out there. She's dancing with some total stranger. Some big muscled, athlete sort. I try to pull her away from the guy, but she just starts to grind with me. I can't let her make a fool of herself. The person she was dancing with grabs her back. He gets up in my face and says, "She's mine. Get lost." I go to sitdown at the bar and order a coke. I sit sipping a coke and she orders a tequila. The guy she's with starts kissing down her neck, and I start to cringe. How could she let someone she doesn't even know do this to her?
"Another tequila, please." She mumbles to the bartender. He has an annoyed look on his face.
"Look, I don't think that's a good idea for you," He says.
"Just one. Or I'll tell hotel management and get you fired." She slurs. He hands her another tequila. When she gets to four, I grab her hand to lead her out. She doesn't need any more alcohol in her system. I get shoved to the ground, and the guy she's with keeps dancing with her. She trip and falls on the ground, and I run to pick her up. She passes out in my arms. I carry her up to my room, and lay her down on the bed. In my medicine bag is a bottle of aspirin. I put one on a napkin and put it next to a bottle of water in the bedside table. Her room is adjoined to mine, and I go in to get her pajamas. Still sleeping, I undress her, and put her into an oversized tee shirt, and pajama pants. I fold the covers over her, and walk into her room, with my guitar. Strumming lightly, I play a song I learned before we left for tour.
She's doesn't deserve to be
In no place like this, all alone
She underage and so very, very brave
Her fake ID lent her credibility
She sits at the bar
The gents are gonna try so hard
He said it was a one-night stand
But the alcohol didn't let her understand
Yeah, he said it was a one-night stand
A one-night stand
So what made you think that he couldn't find a door in the morning?
When he found that bed so easily in the dark
What made you think that he couldn't find a door in the morning?
When he found that bed so easily in the dark
So the bartender who tends to pretend that he's concerned
Says, Girly, girly, you're at your best (you're at your best)
When you're sober
And she slurs, No, no, just one more
And one turns into four
The fourth drink instinct is taking over
And the gentleman is leading her towards the door
So what made you think that he couldn't find a door in the morning?
When he found that bed so easily in the dark
What made you think that he couldn't find a door in the morning?
When he found that bed so easily in the dark
She thought that she could buy happiness by, by the bottle
She thought that she could buy happiness by, by the bottle
She thought that she could buy happiness by, by the bottle
So what made you think that he couldn't find a door in the morning?
When he found that bed so easily in the dark
What made you think that he couldn't find a door in the morning?
When he found that bed so easily in the dark
He said it was a one-night stand
But the alcohol didn't let her understand
Yeah, he said it was a one-night stand
A one-night stand
I walk back into the room and I see she took the aspirin and a swig of water. She's not dead asleep, not conscious enough to notice anything, like me getting into bed. So I change into a white tee and boxers, and slide into bed. About ten minutes later I feel her arms wrap around me. Uh oh. I hear her mumble something in my ear and I'm not sure what.
"What did you say?"
"Don't ever leave me. Ever," She whispers. I turn around and kiss her forehead. And to those words, I fell asleep.
Ick. That was kind of bad. And short. Whatever, I know you guys might've wanted this chapter. Remember, writers block.
