Lillie's POV
"So what'd you guys do?!" Steven asked, all excited.
"We just went out for ice cream, calm down Popcorn." Duff replied.
"Did you have fun?" Izzy whispered beside me.
"Yea I really did, thanks Izz for pushing this on me." I smiled.
He smiled back. "If I was pushing you into this I'm sorry, I just couldn't risk losing you again."
"It was for the better, at that time my only emotion was bitter rage." I laughed.
A few hours later we had arrived to the next stop, Nevada, Las Vegas.
"The only thing I'm in the mood for right now is drinking." Slash started. "I say we hit The Las Vegas Strip and find a club."
"I'm in" I replied.
The rest of the boys agreed and we started the walk down the strip, settling on some wild bar.
I clutched Duff's hand tighter, after a little bit of "practice" I had gotten used to the bars and all the drinking.
I instantly felt out of place, I'm in here wearing jeans and a Led Zeppelin T-shirt, at least I don't look like a slut.
"You going to be okay?" I heard Ashley whisper into my ear.
"Ummmm..."
"Why don't we get a table and we can sit here and drink, that way we don't have to interact with horny, drunk perverts."
"I'm down, but the last time we went to one of these Du--"
"Don't think about that, he said you could trust him, he was too shit faced, just keep and eye on him that's all."
I nodded in agreement and I followed Ashley to a booth.
"What can I get you two lovely ladies today?" A 25 year old looking man asked.
"I'll take a Jack." I smiled.
Ashley ordered her usual martini, the drink suits her.
"How's your relationship with Slash?" I asked totally out of the blue, all the commotion in my brain lately has made me totally forget they were even a thing in the first place.
"Oh it's good, kind of tough dating a rockstar but it's good." She replied.
"I know how you feel."
It's not the fact that they have plans all the time like concerts and booking concerts and recording, it's the drugs, the alcohol and the fact that chicks can't keep their hand off of them.
"You're anxious." Ashley said breaking the silence, I turned my head away from Duff who was talking to Izzy.
"Uh, no I'm not."
"Lil, your left leg is bouncing uncontrollably and you're tapping your fingers on your glass, you're anxious."
"I hate how you know me so well."
"Look, don't stare at him you're going to creep him out, he's with Izzy, everything will be fine!"
I smiled at her, she is a great friend. I remember the day we met like it was yesterday.
*****
I stumbled into the bar just around the corner from my house, trying not to cry.
My face was throbbing from what just happened, sometimes I wonder how I fell in love with a drunk psychopath.
"What can I get you today?" A beautiful freckled girl with short ginger hair asked.
"A huge bottle of Jack would be nice?"
"How 'bout I start you off with a glass." She laughed. "Rough night?"
"Just like all the others." I sighed.
"What happened?"
Suddenly I got tense, why would I tell a girl I just met what had been happening.
Fuck it.
"My stupid boyfriend." I started. "H-he, he hit me again."
"Oh, sweetie I'm sorry. You need to haul ass and tell somebody."
Suddenly I heard a all too familiar voice from behind me.
"Lillie, get in the fucking car!"
"I'm not leaving with you, you're a jackass, we are done."
"Listen you little slut, get in the fucking car."
"She isn't going anywhere, now I suggest you leave before I get fired for kicking your ass." Ashley interrupted.
"Have fun trying." He replied. "Fuck you Lillie."
"By the way I'm Ashley." She smiled. "I guess you're Lillie."
I nodded, smiling.
"Thank you so much, Ashley."
"No problem Hun, do you need a place to stay?"
I thought about my parents, but there's no way I'm going back to my abusive father.
"Sort of."
"Well come on, my shift is finished!"
*****
"Lillie? LILLIE?"
I was shaken out of my thoughts by Duff, signalling it was time to leave.
Surprisingly he wasn't drunk, just a tiny bit tipsy.
After all maybe he was right, he can change, I know it won't be easy though.
I held Duff's hand walking out of the bar, until we got back to the bus.
"Oh Lillie! Before we get to our bus, there's some people I want you to meet!"
Before I could speak Duff yanked me over to, from behind, a black haired guy.
"Tracii!" Duff yelled. "This is my girlfriend Lillie."
My mouth was wide open in shock, not only was Tracii wicked hot but he is from a great band I highly admired.
"Hello, gorgeous, nice to finally meet you, Duff talks about you an awful lot." He laughed.
"Thanks, it's a pleasure to meet you too, I'm a huge fan!" I blushed.
"That means a lot, I'm guessing we should get to the venue because show starts in an hour."
"Fuck I forgot!" Duff laughed. "See you in a bit Tracii."
"Yea, and again, nice to meet you Lillie!" Tracii yelled as we were already running to the bus.
I screamed goodbye back and got into the bus, beginning the drive to the venue.
A/N hey hey heyyyyy, so my header, I'm guessing someone asked Slash to whip?😂 anyway leave feedback, vote, whatever you're in the mood for, love yas byeee!
