BROOKLYN BABY // Hunter Sylvester (Metal Lords)

Set 2

"Ok, get out of my car" I jerked forward as Hunter stopped abruptly. We were in front of my job. It was a clothing store, nothing special.

Since I'm loaded I'm only on the payroll and one once every few weeks. A girl quit recently so they needed me more "I don't have to clock in for another 30 minutes" I said with a sigh

"can't you just wait outside?" Hunter suggested "you're such a fuckwad. You can last 30 more minutes in my presence" I scoffed at him "I might die" Hunter said

"dramatic little bitc-" "Stevie! Are you going to Clay Moss's party tonight?" Kevin asked interrupting me "I didn't know he was having a party" I responded

"I heard everyone's invited, we were planning on going. Do you want to come with us?" Kevin asked

"No"
"I don't know"

I scowl at Hunter before I turn back to Kevin "I don't know" I said "the game ends at 8 and you're off by then so you'll have plenty of time to get ready" Kevin said

"you're right. Yeah I'll go, if king of all hatred of women will take me" I said cocking my head at Hunter "fine... only if you go in now" he said. I thought it over

"deal" I opened the car door and got out before grabbing my backpack "I'm off at 7" "k" "don't be late" "got it" "one more thing-" "what!" I leaned over and yanked on Hunters hair "Oh you little-!" I ran

The door the my bedroom slammed open.

"Hurry up!" "Don't rush me or I'm gonna take longer!" "Oh my-!" "All you do is bitch!-" "well you're take forever!-" "I've been in here for ten minutes!" "It took me three-" "all your did was change your shirt!" "So?!" "It's a party, Hunter! I'm not showing up in the same outfit as I wore to school!" "it's ugly no one's cares" "I'm gonna strangle you!"

I started to walk towards him to push him away, but as soon as I got close he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder and then tossed me on my bed.

Through the midst of all this I hadn't realized I was only in my bralette and had yet to put in my sweat shirt.

Hunter looked down at me as he was standing, his eyes scanned my body before he rolled them and clenched his jaw, he grabby my green sweater that laid out on my chair and tossed it to me

"we'll be in the car" he said with a scoff

We stood in the middle of Clay Moss's living room "the club isn't the best place to find a lover so the bar is where I go-" I winced

"Jesus, for being fucking loaded you'd think he'd get some singing lessons" I said "he is a little off-pitch" Kevin agreed "a little?" I questioned

"this rules. Awesome idea" Hunter says sarcastically "he said everybody's invited" Kevin repeated before a brief pause "how do they do it?" Kevin asked.

I definitely knew what he was talking about, with my stage-fright and all I don't understand how Clay and the rest of Mollycoddle could get up there in front of everyone and just perform

"this is like three cords and they still can't get it right. They suck. Look at the the drummer. He's high out of his mind" Hunter pointed out

"I mean, them, all of them. How do they just... do this" Kevin tried to explain "perform, they do it like it's the easiest thing in the world" I said "yeah" Kevin agreed

"listen to me man-" Hunter grabbed Kevin "this is going to happen to us, ok" Hunter said

"yeah, at the high school reunion they're gonna be like 'what? Kevin Schlieb? He's goddamn famous. I could've hung out with him!' But you'll be be too busy hanging out with Slipknot to care"
