Sheridens Story...
god! i knew this was gonna be a mistake. James was right, kacey is gonna ruin this and make me look a complete and utter idiot.
look at her! she is pissed already and we have only been here for half hour.
i nudged james and he gave me the look to say, i know, i know!
so here we are, at the first official meeting of the six of us. a fancy restaurant i decided was the best place to hold this, the more public i figured the better.
hopefully kacey could contain her rage. in detroit she seemed to want the fame and success more, but here in L.A. she seemed to just want to ruin me. snide little comments, that i had just so far brushed off.
i wasnt going to let james win this one. i found these girls and i was gonna make things work. i was sure of that.
amberleigh was chatting to james and i about some of the songs maybe needing some triple tracking, james seemed to know what she was talking about as he nodded but i didnt really understand what all the musical lingo meant.
i could see kacey on yet another glass of wine and then it happened.
"james!" i heard slush out of her drunken mouth.
great here we go i thought.
just as kacey opened her trap paisley had spilt her drink all over her self and put kacey off track of her drunken slurs. i will not have this demented bitch embarrass james again like she did at the KVA's
i dragged james away to a quiet spot in the restaurant, as paisley patted down her dress
"sheriden i cant do this, she is gonna hit the roof any second..." james said, he was pissed off
"baby i know, listen to me... maybe if we just sort this out with the three of us then she can move on" i pleaded to james knowing the reply i would get before it left his sexy pouting mouth.
"no! no fucking way, you said she was cool with this, i will not talk to that crazy bitch about anything other than her music career. if she wants to mess it up a second time then good for her, but she will not drag me down with her this time" james' words were final.
"okay, can I at least try and talk her round?" i folded my arms.
"you can do what you want with her, just watch out for her left hook!" he gave me a wry smile
i rolled my eyes at the memory of kaceys slap she gave james all that time ago.
"fine! i will sort her out, i'll get kendall and the other two to meet you at the club. okay?"
"yeah thats fine sheriden... you have a sexy look in your eye when you try so hard to prove me wrong you know...". james' conclusion to most problems was sexual innuendo.
i smiled and kissed him "your filth maslow you know that dont you!" i kissed him goodbye after he handed me his car keys and walked back over to the table.
kacey agreed to come with me to have a chat. that was easy enough.
"get those two in the club, and make them have a good time okay. james will meet you there" i whispered in kendalls ear. then i tried my best to help kacey to james' car with out her making me fall over.
james had rented this insane car, it was a maserati. it looked sporty and delicious but it scared the hell out of me to drive.
james had unfortunatly drawn the short straw of getting a cab to the club. bloody kacey, forcing me to drive this thing.
i drove the short distance back to my home in central L.A. and sat kacey down for what should make for an interesting chat.
she had a face like a slapped arse on her.
"kacey, i know your hurting over james still, but its really time you thought about yourself and not being so hooked on trying to hurt him back" i spoke gently and slowly to kacey.
"im not trying to hurt him" she swayed her response to me.
"then why the outburst? if paisley hadnt spilt her drink then you would of made a scene back there wouldnt you?" i was feeling a bit miffed at her now.
kacey laughed."sheriden. we used to be friends, we used to hang out. i know your...an okay person. i wasnt going to make a scene... i was going to say sorry".
i let out a small laugh myself. "sorry? dont take this the wrong way but i dont quite believe you, and i wouldnt exactly of called us friends...".
" believe what you want! ive had just over a week to get my head around this, in detroit you spoke your words of wisdom at me, and said we can work it out and can make something big from all this. in L.A. i must admit i got a bit hung up from being in your comapany all the time, wondering what he possibly sees in you". kacey vented her views at me.
"what?, so you now have anger issues at me?" i retorted.
"no, you see sheriden, tonight i realised you and james are well suited, he is a self rightious know it all, and most likely some closet gay that will come out in a few years, whilst you are this has-been model that needs to stick her fingers in every pie to try and make yourself look important... i pity you both, and so glad im not a part of james and his tirade to take over the universe" she finished up folding her arms over her chest.
"well kacey... you definatly have been busy choosing your words this evening. but the fact remains that its james' 'tirade' on the universe that wants to make your singing career a success".
"yes... sheriden, i realise that...which is why i was going to apologise to him for my past behaviour"
i rolled my eyes at her.
kacey continued. " i can look past our differences and get on with this band... if you and james can do the same. like i said we used to be friends".
"kacey the only issue that i have with you right now is that im fully aware that your drinking habits get you in to trouble. what happened with you and james had nothing to do with me at the time".
"really coz i think you were sleeping with him behind mine and kendalls back" kacey had her arse face slapped on her again.
"jesus not this crap again... kacey the entire time you were with james, all he was to me was a good friend. im not prepared to drag up my past with kendall to prove to you that i did fuck all with your ex boyfriend"
i let out a pissed off sigh before continuing
"do you want our help with kandy teaze or not? coz no other fucker is gonna touch you, you know that right?"
"yeah i know. i will take your word for it that you didnt then okay." kacey relaxed back in my couch.
"honestly though kacey, you need to kick back from all the drinking. i wont sit back and watch my own money get pissed down the toilet by you causing a scene on every night out and creating the wrong kind of publicity for yourself!"
"okay, so you gonna take me back to my hotel now this is cleared up?" she sat forwards as her que to leave my home.
"sure, maybe tomorrow we can try and make a fresh start yeah?" i opted to end the conversation on a high note.
kacey smiled back at me as if to call it a truce.
"cmon lets get you back before your sick in that god damn car" i helped her out of my couch and we left for the hotel.
