It was two weeks away. The happiest day of your life, right? Wrong.
Nikki had been trying to no end to get Tommy to reason with him. But Tommy was on his honeymoon and wouldn't hear him out. Mick offered to stand in for Tommy but Nikki refused. No Tommy, no wedding.
Nikki had spent the last few weeks depressed. He wouldn't write, wouldn't barely talk, would barely even associate with Iggy. Just kept himself to himself. You knew he was hurting and seriously considering calling off the wedding, he put it down to fate telling him it wasn't the right time.
But you had a different idea and though it made you sick to your back teeth, you had to suck it up. You headed to uptown LA, somewhere you would rarely go into. Rodeo, Beverley Hills. You had agreed to meet Satan herself at a coffee shop to talk this out.
"You actually own a dress, that's a good start" Heather commented as you sat down opposite her. Choosing to ignore her remark, you ordered yourself a coffee.
"Nikki has been depressed, Tommy is his best friend. And for whatever reason you don't like me, which is fine. But Nikki and Tommy are best friends, please don't put a wedge between them" You explained. She stirred her coffee and took a sip, never breaking eye contact with you.
"I have a friend, a mutual friend who doesn't seem to like you much either. But you have connections that she wants to make. If you help her, Tommy can go to the wedding" Heather suggested.
"Fine, who is she and what does she want?" You asked taking a drink of your own coffee.
"Alice Bates.." Heather smirked and you raised your eyebrow.
"Alice." You sighed, your ex friend had made a name for herself in pop rock now, she was doing okay as far as you knew. "I can help her, but I'm not involving Nikki."
"She wants Nikki to play on a few songs. He's the connection she wants to make" Heather smiled and you rolled your eyes. You knew what the game plan was here. Alice tries it on with Nikki, who leaves you and they live happily ever after. Nope.
"No way. She brought heroin around him last time. I'm not putting him through that. Give me something else I can help with" You ordered and Heather shook her head.
"This is the only thing I can do sweetheart. Call me when you've thought about it" Heather said, dropping some money on the table before walking off.
You rubbed your eyes as you sat at the table alone. You were torn but it wasn't your decision to make, it was Nikki's. At the same time you promised him you would do what was best for him, and him being around Alice was not that.
After arriving home you headed to Nikki's room where he sat in his pants watching TV absent mindedly. You sat by him and turned the volume down, taking his hands.
"I went to see Heather today" You started. He switched the TV off and turned to face you. "There's something she wants Nikki."
"I can't believe she's holding Tommy at ransom" Nikki said sadly. "Go on.."
"Remember Alice, ny ex singer?" You asked
"How could I forget" He grimaced. "How is she involved?"
"Her and Heather are friends. Alice wants you to go and play on her album and give her some good press" You explained.
"I don't want to do that" Nikki shook his head "So we get married just for Alice to try and drive us apart?"
"I said it was your decision. I don't know what to do about any of this anymore" You mumbled sadly.
"I'm gonna reach out to Tommy one more time and talk to him without Heather" Nikki stated. "

But it wasn't Nikki who reached out to Tommy, it was you. You had arranged meeting up with him under the pretense of it being a band related thing.
"Where's everyone else? I'm normally the late one" Tommy commented as he sat down. You sat next to him and hummed as you tried to think of a way to approach the situation.
"So Nikki hasn't even picked up a pen to write. He isn't sleeping, I don't know how much use he's gonna be in the writing process" You commented as you sat back
"But If Nikki isn't writing, who is? I mean I can come up with the odd lyric but not a whole song" Tommy panicked and you shrugged.
"He's just down about everything. He feels like he's lost you as his friend. It's really hurting him. It's hurting me too" You said simply.
Tommy rubbed his hair and put his head in his hands.
"I'm just conflicted dude. I wanna do what's best for everyone. Heather really doesn't want time to go but I wanna be there for Nikki. But I just married Heather, I don't wanna cause shit" Tommy explained.
"I understand, but relationships are about sacrifices sometimes. It's about give and take. But Heather said she will let you go if Nikki does something he really doesn't wanna do. She's not being fair." You tried to reason.
"I don't want him getting involved with that chick. We spent so long getting him back on the rails" Tommy rubbed his head. "I'm glad he's marrying you dude. Even if you do annoy me like a little sister."
"Same goes for you big brother" You laughed. "He wants this wedding to be different. He's gonna remember everything. Including the bachelor party"
"You guys are right" Tommy exhaled as he lit a cigarette. "I should be there, he's been there for me. Even when he didn't like the bride...Fuck it I'll do it"
Nikki came in a few minutes later from walking Iggy. He looked at Tommy in the room and glared moodily. Tommy looked at you and you patted him on the arm.
"Go fix this Tommy" You mumbled before leaving the room.

It was the night of both parties. Nikki has perked up and was excited for the wedding again. Tommy was getting all kinds of shit from Heather but he just let it slide.
You wanted to do a surprise for Nikki, so you had made some arrangements with the boys for after the party. All the guys and the girls were staying either side of the same hotel, just in case. Heather had declined your invite so that made you feel more at ease.
"Okay doll, I know how you said they all looked like Ken dolls before.." Lita said as you sat amongst your friends at the strip club you were at previously.
You cringed when you heard Shout at The devil and even more so when the strippers who walked out were dressed like the band.
"No! This isn't happening" You laughed as your rowdy friends started throwing money on the stage at fake Vince.
"This is the best night ever" You heard Rach comment as she hugged you.
"I call fake Mick!" Dawn yelled as everyone swarmed the stage.
You almost fell over crying at the fake Mick Mars with his 6 pack and his tan as he came over to Dawn. Dawn leant on the stage, throwing bills at the man.
Fake Tommy and Vince were a real hit with the rest of the group but you knew fake Nikki was being saved.
The night went on and you got progressively more drunk. But you had to limit yourself so you could do Nikki's surprise with some coherency.
It was the breakdown of Dr Feelgood when you heard the announcer call for the bridge. You hid behind Rach with a laugh as Dawn and Lita dragged you on stage. Fake Vince and Tommy guided you to a chair in the middle of the stage. You laughed as fake Nikki came out. He was nothing like your own. He grabbed your hand and started rubbing it over his chest as you cringed.
The girls were going crazy and you heard Lita say she wanted a piece of him. You laughed and yelped when fake Nikki started fake grinding on you.
"Oh my god" You cried as it seemed to never end.

It wasn't too bad being slightly buzzed with the other three guys being completely drunk as fuck. Nikki had wanted to enjoy himself on his final night, though he didn't class himself as a free man.
So he wanted a Poker and Cigar night in the back room of the Dollhouse. The guys still got there fill of topless strippers walking around with booze while he got to win some money.
"Where are the hookers man? Your last bachelor party tops this one" Vince moaned when none of the strippers would give him attention.
"You're just moaning cause you're losing dude. I'm having a pretty sweet time" Tommy smiled at his cards.
"I'm not cursing my marriage by bringing around hookers" Nikki said as he smoked his cigar. "You guys can get some for yourselves if you want when we get back to the hotel, but I'm all good."
"Last night of freedom and he doesn't want fresh pussy just one more time" Vince laughed with Bob Rock.
"I've got grade A pussy at home boys. Once you try the quality stuff, you don't go back to the cheap stuff" Nikki smirked as he lay his cards down "Full house."
"Well I'm getting you laid tonight either way" Vince called whistling for the strippers. Nikki sighed as Vince ordered a lap dance and watched as the blonde straddled him.
"Hi" He said to her unimpressed.
"Ssshh big boy, just enjoy" She ordered as she danced against him.
That night Nikki got back to the hotel. He wasn't blackout drunk, but he had some trouble keeping himself steady. He got to the room he was sharing with Tommy and started getting undressed, holding himself up a wall to do so.
"You happy dude?" Tommy asked as he pulled his boots off.
"Tomorrow, I'll be the happiest fucker alive" Nikki smirked as he got down to his boxers."Thanks for tonight T Bone, I'm glad you're my best man"
Tommy smiled and fist bumped Nikki before Nikki turned around.
"..NOW" Nikki looked around confused as Tommy tackled him to the bed, blindfolding him as he held his arms behind his back.
"Put him in the chair" He heard Mick say as he was manoeuvred into a chair.
"Guys come on, what are you doing" Nikki moaned trying to put up a fight as he felt his arms being strapped onto the chair.
"Leave his legs, she'll probably want more access" He heard Vince say.
"Dude I swear, no hookers! I don't want one" He ordered but nobody was listening as they laughed, pulling him out into the hallway.
"Stop, come on!" Nikki moaned trying to fight the tape against his arms. He seen the light under the blindfold go dark and the guys went quiet. He heard a door shut behind him and he sighed.
"Look I'll pay you more money then they've paid you to just let me go.." Nikki said. He shivered against the cold touch across his shoulders and down his chest.
"Come on, I have a fiancée, I really don't wanna do this and I'm gonna be pissed off if you keep touching me" Nikki warned.
He gripped the chair as he felt a hand go up his shin and to this thigh. He was panicking because of the blindfold and panicking because he was being touched in all the right places. He tried to pull back as he felt lips on his neck, nipping as they got to his collarbone.
"Fuck" He gasped as he put his head back for more access. "Stop,.." He knew he sounded weak. He put up an internal fight until he felt a kiss to his chest.
He called your name, confused as you took the blindfold off him. He relaxed momentarily until he seen what you were wearing. White bra, white thong, white suspenders, white tights. You smiled at him as he growled.
"Get me out of this chair so I can touch you" He pleaded and you smiled.
"Nope, I'm in charge for once. And baby I'm gonna enjoy it" You said getting on your knees and pulling down his boxers.
