Tommy's pov

"Shut up we don't wanna wake her up and spoil it" trying to shush Vince behind me

Today is another year of Evelyn's birthday I get to ruin and mess with, no harm but man is it funny to see the look on her face when she's in total shock. This year she specifically said no gifts, so we agreed not to. Now does that mean we aren't gonna surprise wake her, of course not did you forget who we are

Opening her shades to the bunk Vince and I each grab one end of her body and yank her out of bed then spray her with two beers we found in the couch of the bus while she barely comprehends what's happening and flails around trying to take cover

"Happy fucking birthday Evelyn!" Vince shouts just as Mick looks over to us shaking his head laughing

"You motherfuckers!" she groans standing up covering herself from being exposed "Just one normal birthday is all I ask yet you can't do that for me, well don't just stand there get me a shirt"

Looking inside the bunk I grab her top and hand it to her so she can cover up, giving Vince a not so subtle high five she rolls her eyes and removes her hair from her face

"I appreciate the celebratory beer shower though, was nice to wake up to" she smirks going through us to sit in the booth with Mick "Good afternoon old man, what did you get me for my birthday?"

"I got you nothing because you said not to get you anything, besides we didn't stop by a store or nothing so I could even attempt to"

"I know just pulling your leg, where's the dirty dog Sixx at?"

"Sleeping I think hasn't came out of the back yet, but he's on another hate everyone attitude so lay off the smart comments today please"

"Awe but it's my birthday, where's the fun in being tame?" placing my head on his shoulder while he just glances to me in all seriousness "Alright I'll lay off for today, where are we now?"  

"Still a few miles until Winnipeg, go get dressed then I'll buy you something when we stop" he nods to the back as I smile and go do what he asks

With not many choices I ended up stealing a pair of Vince's pants and one of Sydney's tops. As promised Mick spoiled me with breakfast first. Tommy and Vince said they had something planned by the time we got back, am I ready for it no because they've proven they aren't capable of planning things without something going wrong

"Don't say I never did anything for you kid" Mick tells me digging in his wallet paying for my new clothes

"I offered to pay myself but someone-

"Relax Evelyn I wanted to do this, if anything you're the youngest one here and still figuring out life, so you deserve something good in this shit world"

"Thanks Mickey" holding my arms out wanting a squeeze

"This is the most affection I've shown in a year than I have in my life" he hugs me without so much of a protest as I smile feeling some sort of reciprocated love I haven't felt in a long time "Alright ready to head back or still want that drink?"

"Oh definitely, gonna need it if the three troubled ones are planning a surprise party" grabbing the bags following him out the store, think this might actually be a good birthday this year

November 7, 1987

Walking into the arena I know it's nearly almost showtime because the backstage area is in chaos with roadies running around already setting up. Getting further into the hall I notice another set of guitars that don't look familiar than the previous opening act we had a few days ago, wonder who's on the banner under them
