Want Me

Chapter 1 - Pain

V stood staring at the black and white urns, it had been a two years since she lost her husband and baby girl in a car accident. The guy that ran the red light had power and gave her enough money to live comfortably the rest of her life. That didn't keep her from hating him but everyone told her it was better to take the money instead of fighting it. She looked around at the small one bedroom apartment, she didn't need much and besides none of it mattered.

She was suppose to get ready and go out with the only person she kept in her life but she really didn't see the point. Life had lost all color and the world looked gray. Her phone rang and she knew who it was.

"Hey Nik. Look I'm not feeling... No, I know I promised. I'm just... I know... you're right... fine, ok. I'll be there in 15... yeah sure, see you soon"

She always used that phrase to make her to do things, 'they would want you to be happy'. She gave them one last look and left. Nik promised this band was worth seeing and she had been feeling the urge to finally go out.

She sat in the booth with Nikki and now that she was here it felt really good to be out. After a bit Nikki had to go find the manager of the band to figure out what kind of shots he wanted to get of the band. So now she was left alone, figures it was a work thing but it was fine she was enjoying the people watching.

As she glanced around she notices a crowd at one spot close to the stage. Guess it was a band member, she wouldn't know because it was an up and coming band. Some of the groupies move enough for her to see who had caused it. He was good looking, black hair, blue eyes, tattoos on his neck and quite a few piercings. So she understood the fascination but didn't see the full attraction until he smiled. He had that "Oh I know I'm hot arrogant way" of smile.

She tried not to judge but after he flashed that smile and saw the groupies giggle he played into it even more. Like he craved that attention. She rolled her eyes and got up to go to the bathroom and find Nikki. She was backstage taking pictures of the equipment and some bts shots. "Hey Nik, need any help?"

"I'm good right now. Hey did you see the band? They're good looking right?"

"I only saw one. The guy with the neck tats who thinks he's God's gift to the universe."

"What?" Nikki said laughing, "why do you say that."

"I saw his little groupies looking like kittens begging for milk and he was just looking to comfortable feeding them."

"Or are you jealous because you weren't being fed?"

V just rolled her eyes, "Please, I'm sure it's sour."

Nikki froze for a moment and finally said, "She's just joking, V this is Dabi lead singer of the band. Dabi this is my assistant V."

"How mysterious, V? Let me guess only people that know you personally get to know your name?"

"Dabi, that's a unique name you have too. I'd bet that's not your real name and you changed it to run from your past." She stared right into his fire blue eyes daring him to say something else. V knew she hit a nerve because his eyes started to get dark.

Dabi clenched and unclenched his fist, she struck a nerve without even knowing. That part of his past was dead and he had moved on.

Before either of them had a chance to say anything Nikki broke the stare down. "Hey V I left my case in the car, can you grab it please. They're about to start."

V gave Dabi a quick eyebrow raise, "sure thing, be right back."

Dabi watched her leave and smirked, "you have an interesting assistant. Why don't you bring her to the party after the show, I think I'd like to get to know her."
