The Leading Man (Multiband Fan Fic)

Chapter 16 - Afterparty

Vince's P.O.V

Let me talk you through that concert.
After 'Fallen Angel' Monroe and Dylan had a solo battle, which went into Stevie 'butting in' going into his solo, where we all stepped off the stage catching our breaths for three minutes. Eddie hung out with Maria, Monroe hung out with Kirk.
After the final song, before the encore of 'I Won't Forget You', Dylan, Eddie, Monroe, and Stevie, all did this.

"THANK YOU!" Eddie smiled down the mic, holding both fists into the air. "I've been Eddie Riot!"
"I've been Dylan Chaser!" Dylan took his hat off, waving it in the air.
"I've been Stevie King!" Stevie stood up, like Lars Ulrich, standing on his stool.
"I've been Monroe!" Monroe smiled, standing stage left. "And for the first time..."
"And for the rest of his life..." Dylan looked over at me.
"We give you..." Eddie started.
"VINCE MORGAN!" The four of them introduced me, more pyros went off, the crowd were seriously losing it...

I was losing it.

We did the encore and we all ran off the stage. We had to leave the venue straight away, going back to the hotel.

. . .

I climbed out the shower, and changed into some more comfortable clothes, as my stage clothes were drenched in sweat.
I saw my phone, lying on my bedside table, so I went to grab it, knowing I've been flooded with texts and miscalls.
I walked up to it, milliseconds from grabbing it, when my hotel room door opened and James let himself in.
"Hey, man. We're having an afterparty, at the end of the hall. You should really come down. It's optional, but they're killer parties!" He told me, holding the door open, not coming into my room, just standing in the door way.
"Uh, yeah sure. I'll come down!" I smiled, with a shrug. This is my life now.
I ditched my phone, not wanting it to get damaged at the party, and followed him to the end suite.

Music could be heard from inside, the gov and Ollie were stood at the door, surrounded by girls with V.I.P passes, and it all sounded to be in full swing.
"The man of the hour!" Gov smiled at me, as he saw us walking his way.
"Vince!"
"VINCE!"
The girls started screaming.
James pushed me behind him, getting me into the hotel suite.
"Later, Gov'nor!" I smiled. "I could get used to this..."
"You had better!" James laughed, shutting the doors behind us.

It was a huge room!
There was a load of armchairs in the back left corner, where I could see Stevie was getting high, with his fan base sat around him, all smoking and talking to him, there was a long table, on my left, housing all kinds of alcoholic drinks, at the back there were doors to a balcony, open, with girls standing out there all smoking and dancing, then in front of the door were two couches, opposite each other, with a coffee table in the middle. Kirk was sat on the coffee table, with Monroe kicked back on the couch, with a guitar, they kept it close together, no one bothering them.
Eddie was on my right, dancing with Maria, but also talking to some fans. Maria was talking with them too, which was awesome. I knew she was very popular within the fanbase.
Then over to the far right, at the back of the room, was another long table, only lower than the drinks table.
Dylan and Alec were playing beer pong, with girls surrounding them.
Most of the girls wore next to nothing, but some actually dressed decently.

"Vinnie! Welcome aboard!" Eddie smiled, noticing me.
"Hey, man! Maria, you look nice!" I just noticed she had changed clothes from the show.
She was wearing a black dress, with a lot of skin showing, but now she was wearing black skinny jeans, black heels, with a black strapless top, with silver hoop earrings.
"Thanks, Vince! It's nothing much." She smiled at me.
"Liar!" Eddie smiled down at her. "Wanna go back to my room tonight?" He asked as if she was a fan.
"OH MY GOD! Are you serous?! I'd love to!" She squealed, hugging his neck, making me laugh.
"You guys are incredible!" I smiled.
"Grab a drink, man! This is your party too!" Eddie smiled, handing me a red cup.
"Cheers." I smiled, taking a sip.

"Oh, our song!" Maria smiled to Eddie, as 'Photograph' by Def Leppard came on.
"Excuse us!" Eddie smiled at me, holding Maria close.
"Go right ahead!" I smiled at them, letting them dance on.

James had left me, disappearing into the night.
I looked around and decided to head over to Stevie. He was blazed, a few girls keeping close to him. The man genuinely has his own fan base, like these guys and gals all come to the shows just to see Stevie and no one else. They all just loved him.

"Hey, Stevie!" I nudged his arm.
He was sat in a black armchair, with his feet up on a foot stool, that a girl was sat on. There was also a girl sat on the right armrest, and a girl sat on the floor, hugging his legs.
"Vinnie! Y' came!" He smiled at me.
"Yeah, man! How could I not?!" I smiled at him, standing on his left.
"Wan' a smoke?" He asked me.
"Nah, thanks." I smiled at him.
"Suit y'rself." He took a long drag from his blunt, blowing the smoke at the girl on his right, who was more then happy to breath it in herself.
"OK... I'll catch you later." I smiled, excusing myself.

Kirk gave me a nod and motioned for me to join him and Monroe.
"Is he here?!" Monroe sat up, looking over my direction, over the back of the couch.
"He's coming." Kirk smiled, as I walked up to them, sitting next to Kirk on the table, as Monroe had her feet up on the couch.
"Hey, man! If you don't drink much, you've joined the right people. Stevie's getting high, as always, Dylan and Alec are looking to get smashed, and Eddie and Maria are doing their own thing, and KIRK-Y KIRK, KIRK! I love this song!" Monroe looked like she wanted to cry, 'Photograph' still playing loud.
"Def Leppard are really your most favourite band and this is your most favourite song on the planet. You told that to Beckon All magazine, in your first magazine interview. I bought it as soon as it hit stores!" I was amazed.
"Whoa, man. You really do love these guys, huh?" Kirk was impressed with me.
"Yeah, but I'm calming down now." I smiled. I knew how excited I could be at times.
"Dude, ask me anything!" Monroe smiled at me.
