FLASHBACK — SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE LAS VEGAS, NEVADA; 1985
the desert sun was beginning to set as bella's eyes fluttered open. the remaining rays of sun shined through the window of the small motel room that the couple had rented as they made their way to new york. she looked over to the side to find johnny fast asleep, softly snoring as he tightened his grip around bella's waist. while on the road, the couple took turns driving, but johnny had driven out of california and into the desert, eventually arriving in vegas.
she smiled as she ran her hands through his golden blonde hair as he slowly opened his eyes. "hey gorgeous." johnny smiled as he placed a small kiss on her nose.
"hi." bella smiled. "you feel better?"
"still kinda tired. it's your turn to drive, princess." johnny chuckled as he sat up from the bed. bella chuckled as she laid back down, rubbing her eyes. as she looked to the side, she found her boyfriend grabbing a small brown paper bag.
"i can't believe you actually brought it." bella chuckled as her boyfriend grabbing a joint from the small bag. "how did you–i'm not even gonna ask."
"i'm gonna go smoke this outside." johnny said. "you wanna join me?"
"why not." bella sighed as she got out of bed and walked out of the room. while the sun set around them, the couple stood at the balcony of the motel, passing the joint to each other.
"i remember when sid and mom came to vegas." johnny sighed as he took a hit of the joint. "it was back in '83. mom hated it because she doesn't like gambling and that's all sid did that weekend. while they were gone, i remember getting so wasted that weekend."
"my parents loved coming to vegas." bella laughed as she was under the effects of the weed. "they always joked about how they almost came to vegas and got married in those tacky, elvis-themed chapels."
"i cannot picture your folks getting married, with some guy officiating their wedding, dressed as elvis." johnny laughed as he took one last hit of the joint, passing it to bella. "those places must make a shit-ton of money."
"there must be weddings every day here." bella giggled as she took one last hit and put out the joint. the couple walked back into the bedroom and laid back down on their bed. "it must be a thrill though; driving all the way to vegas, just you and the love of your life, no one else around, it's just you and them."
