The next day I didn't leave my bunk until we got to the concert arena. I was trying to avoid everyone, most especially Nikki. While everyone flooded out of the bus, I used this time to change in tour bus's bathroom a clean outfit. It was definitely out of my comfort zone. I even decided that I'd curl my hair at Micks fitting room, which he had no problem sharing with.
"So what's going on with you?" He asks finally, after being silent for at least ten minutes. "Nothing." I mutter as I curl the last piece of my hair.
"Obviously not, when you didn't leave your bunk today until we got here." He snaps while swigging some rum from the bottle. "Lady issues." I explain, while Doc then walks in and realizes he interrupted our conversation.
"Tommy's parents are here." Doc states, causing me to turn off my curling iron, and get up to walk over to the door.
While walking down the hall I notice Nikki pull in Tommy's new girlfriend into his dressing room, making me stop dead in my tracks.
"Well that's just fucking wonderful." I mutter to myself with clear irritation in my voice, causing me to storm passed the room. It took me everything and anything to not cry and pound on that door to fight with that bitch, but I didn't. I didn't because I realized he wasn't mine to fight for...
While continuing to walk around to find Tommy, I finally found him showing off his parents the fake decor rocks. "Oh, mom, dad, this is Kayla Mars." Tommy introduces once he notices me, making my frown turn into a genuine smile. "This is Mick Mars Niece, remember?" He says to his parents as they gasp in realization.
"Oh, it's so nice to meet you! You are gorgeous!" Tommy's mom says hugging me, before gasping at my long blond hair. "Your hair is so long!" She says while combing her hands through the ends, making me laugh slightly. "I heard you from Greece?" I ask making her widely smile and nod. "Yes, yes I am" She asks almost surprised. "I used to work at this old record shop, and my old coworkers mother was Greek, she used to come in all the time to hand out Baklava." I state, causing her to rave about the dessert for a whole minute, before I took the opportunity to greet his dad.
" It's a pleasure." He states.
"Tommy looks just like you!" I state causing Tommy to give a confused glance, while his mom laughs. "I told you!" She exclaims making me laugh.
Before I could converse anymore, Tommy points over behind me towards Nikki. My smile immediately drops, and I watch Tommy's parents immediately open him with welcome arms. If only they all knew what he was up too a minutes ago...
"Hey, Nikki, maybe we can fly out your family for the next L.A. gig." Doc says making Nikki glare at the man slightly. "Yeah, that's a great idea Doc." Nikki sarcastically says rolling his eyes.
"Oh, guys, I want you too meet somebody else! Babe, come here!" Tommy says over to the girl standing a few feet away, causing Nikki to awkwardly glance away. As Roxie walks passed me, she gives me a dirty glance which made me want to knock the living shit out of.
"Mom, dad. This is Roxie, my fiancée." Tommy says making everyone's eyes to widen, most especially Nikki.
Oh that's just fucking wonderful, I hope Nikki is proud of himself...
"Nice to meet you." Roxie says before handing her hand out to shake his mothers hand, making me roll my eyes. "What's the rush, Tom? Marriage is a big decision." His dad asks as I noticed the twos devastated looks, which was understandable. "Exactly. You proposed to mom the night you guys met, and she didn't even speak English. That's love, dude." He says making me now realize why he's such a lover's boy. "And that's what I always wanted, and now that's what I got." He says happily making me sick to my stomach.
As I glance over at Nikki, I noticed he took the opportunity to walk away. I immediately follow the man as he walked towards the food table, clearly in his own thoughts. "You hate yourself a bit more now, huh?" I ask not looking at the man, as I go to grab a cookie from the table.
"What?" He asks as if he didn't think I know what was going on inside his pretty head or his, and his dressing room minutes ago.
I only could look at him with an unimpressed look while munching on the chocolate chip cookie in my hands. "You should really pay someone as a look out for when you decide to bring your band mates Fiancés into your dressing room." I sarcastically comment before walking passed him, bumping into his shoulder purposely.

I was currently seated across from Roxie in the bus, due to their not being enough seats. It was kind of awkward but luckily I had a book to read, so I didn't have to make much conversation with her.
"Hey Rox, Do you have a pen, gimme a pen." Tommy asks his girlfriend while rambling about the next concert idea. "You're moms a cunt." Roxie says out of nowhere making everyone look up at her in shock. Tommy's mom was nothing but an angel, she just didn't like her because she 'mistook' her for being a groupie. Although, Tommy's mother was right, that's what she was. Roxie couldn't hear the truth, and got butt hurt.
"What? Why would you say that?" He asks as she plays with the pen with her long acrylic red nails.
"Because she is. She's a cunt." She repeats clearly wanting to start an argument, causing me to awkwardly look back to face my book.
"Quit it, give me the pen, alright?" Tommy says before turning back to Nikki. "I don't know why you even told them. It's not like she had anything to do with us getting married!" She exclaims loudly making me raise an eyebrow at her. Was she being fucking serious? Was this her mindset?
"Baby, it's sweet, alright? It's tradition." He tells her causing her to stand up quickly from her seat.
"Which tradition? The mandatory meeting of the cunt!" She yells making me place my book aside.
"Don't call her that again! You hear me?" He says pointing his finger at her.
As he goes to sit back down, I watch her stab the pen into his back making my eyes widen. "Here's your goddamn pen!" She shouts, making me stand up, and intervene. "Yo, What the fuck!" Tommy yells in shock, causing me to pull her away from the man.
This only results in Roxie yelling in my face, pushing me back as if I did something wrong. "Do you not expect me to step in, after you just stabbed my best friend with a pen?" I shout back, clearly defending myself and my actions.
"Fuck you! You stay out of our conversation!" She screams at me, pointing her finger in my face. This only causes me to wack her finger away from my face, and push her backwards. "You're fucking psycho!" I shout causing her to push me backwards this time.
Before I should punch her in the face, Vince steps in, and holds me back. "What the fuck is wrong with you!" Tommy yells at her from behind, making her turn around angrily. "Fuck you, and fuck your mother!" She yells at him. "That's it. This fucking bitch is out of here. Pull over!" Tommy yells at the driver before grabbing her, and pushing her towards the front of the bus.
"Get the fuck off my bus, get the fuck out!" He shouts pushing her, causing her to push him back."You are such a spoiled little mamas boy 'cause you wanna crawl back inside her cunt!" She shouts again causing him to throw a punch at the chaotic woman.
Once he hits her, she looks up at him in shock, holding her hand against her now bloody mouth. Tommy immediately reacts by staring at her in fear. "I told you not to say that." He stutters out in shock before running into the back of the bus, while she stares at us in disbelief. I mean the girl kind of deserved it, in my opinion. She treated Tommy like crap, and was abusive. So once the bus driver pulled aside, I handed her bag over to her, and walked back towards the end of bus to hear Tommy swearing at himself in the bathroom. Tommy was one of the sweetest guys she's known, and it takes a lot for him to snap like the way he did.
"Tommy, Hey, it's Kayla, open up." I say through the door, causing him to remain silent. "Tommy, Yes, you did a horrible thing, but everyone knew she had it coming to her. Don't worry about it too much... she attacked you first, just remember that." I kindheartedly tell him, reassuring the man from outside the door, before slowly walking towards my seat again. Before sitting down in my original seat from earlier, I couldn't help but stare at Nikki with an irritated look.
