Please review let me know what you think of this story. Thank you.

BRENDAN WOKE UP with a terrible headache he opened one eye at a time to prevent his head from hurting even more. He slowly sat up and looked around at his surroundings forgetting that he was on the couch. As he stood up from the couch he had to brace himself by holding on to the arm rest of the couch since he was so dizzy he almost fell on the floor he was still completely out of it from the night before. He steadied himself and held his head in his hands and softly moaned in pain he straightened up his back and it cracked.

"Shit" Brendan softly said to himself.

Brendan walked to the kitchen and saw the bottles on the island and he past them by and went straight for the bathroom to vomit and take some Tylenol. Brendan found the bottle of Tylenol on the edge of the sink. He took two pills and placed the bottle in the overhead cabinet he popped the pills in his mouth and swallowed it down with a handful of tap water. He then dried his wet lips with the back of his left hand then he carefully brushed his teeth since he was still unsteady on his feet. Brendan walked back into the kitchen and made a very strong pot of coffee. While waiting for the pot to work its magic he sat down on a chair in the kitchen. He looked around and noticed that the lights were still on. He stood up from the chair and walked over to the outlet and shut the lights off since they were hurting his eyes and head even more. He sat back down and poured himself a huge mug of coffee with endless amounts of sugar in it and nothing else. Once Brendan was done drinking the whole pot of coffee he got up from the chair and walked over to the empty bottles of beer and tossed them in the trash then he walked into the living room, he walked over to the couch and grabbed his comforter and walked into his bedroom He fixed his bed and lied down on top of the comforter and within seconds he was out like a light despite those cups of coffee.

Brendan woke up a few hours later when he heard his business cell phone ringing. He looked around for his phone and it turned out he had it in his pants pocket, the one he had been wearing all night. He thought it was Tony calling making sure that he was alright so he didn't bother to look at who was calling since he used that phone for business and pleasure.

"Hello, Brendan Brady speaking" said Brendan on the phone

There was no answer

"Hello anyone there?" asked Brendan

"Hi…Hello…It's Ste Hay calling" said Steven all flustered

'What the hell was that?' thought Steven shocked at himself for his behavior.

"Is it really?" asked Brendan a bit on the flirtatious side but tried sounding like the cool cat he was.

"Um yes, my manager gave me you're card" said Steven very businesslike.

Brendan sat up in bed.

"I thought Pauline was going to call me personally"

'Wish she had' thought Steven

"She wanted me to get in touch with you instead."

"I know what you think of me so I'm honored that you didn't toss my card in the trash somewhere."

"Believe me I was thinking of it, but then me mum would kill me as a mum would not as a manager"

"I got it" said Brendan laughingly.

"So what made you decide to call me besides that?" asked Brendan as he got out of bed.

"I heard one of your songs blasting out of a car this afternoon."

"Good thing for that. Wait you said afternoon what time is it?"

"It's almost 5 o'clock, why?"

"Shit, I passed out last night, been sleeping on and off all day"

'Maybe that man I saw didn't come out of his apartment last night' thought Steven shocked.

"Oh by the way your concert was great last night"

"Oh thanks, never seen one of yours"

"I know you don't care for me all that much"

"Not your singing, just you in general"

Brendan started laughing

"Thanks" said Brendan laughing.

"So, did your mom tell you what I wanted?" asked Brendan once he stopped laughing

"Yeah" said Steven not too happy

"Oh you sound so thrilled at the thought of working with me" said Brendan sarcastically

"I never said I was" said Steven seriously

"Well are you or not?" asked Brendan rudely

"I'll have to think about it" said Steven just as rude

"Well you have to think about it quick since tonight's my last night here in town."

"Well me manager would be pleased if I said yes"

"So is that a yes?" asked Brendan sounding hopeful

"For me mum and me manager, that's a yes, but believe me I'd rather be high and drunk with a pounding headache than work with you" said a not too excited Steven.

"I completely know that feeling. I passed out on the couch last night totally out of from drinking way too much" said Brendan.

"Good so we understand each other?" asked Steven.

"One hundred percent" said Brendan, seriously

STEVEN AND BRENDAN made plans to meet backstage at Steven's last concert in the city that night, to disgust plans for Johnny's up and coming album, but when Steven got off the phone with Brendan he felt confused, he knew that a some sexy stripper like man came out of his building but Brendan was drunk the previous night on the couch so did that mean either nothing happened or he didn't come from his apartment.

'Why am I thinking about that, what the hell do I care for' thoughts wondering around in Steven's head as he placed his cell on the bed and ran in the bath room for a much needed hot shower before his final concert in New York City.
