New Life (Eric Carr)

(A little something for @ChikaraChick. Hope you love it. :) )

I was standing in the crowd, front row, waiting for the concert to start. The energy was already quite high...Kiss was playing tonight! I was so excited! A couple fireworks went off and the bands stepped onto the stage. They all looked so amazing with the new outfits. I paid special attention to Eric Carr, the drummer; he seemed extra hyped. They all started playing the set and I got real hyped, singing and banging my head, and even throwing up the sign of the horns. Halfway through the set, it came time for Eric's drum solo. Paul, Gene, and Ace walked backstage, leaving Eric alone on the stage. During his solo, I felt a twinge in my back; thankfully I was holding onto my cane, so I didn't fall down. I sat in my chair, feeling pain. I noticed that Eric was looking at me with concern but didn't outwardly show it. He finished his solo and then the whole band finished their set.

Sometime later...

I was so happy after experiencing such a great show. Two hours of amazing rock 'n roll...nothing was better. Or was it?
Someone came up to me as I was making my way backstage; I recognized him as one of the security guards. He informed me that Eric summoned me.
"Oh, me? I guess he must've noticed me," I said. I was escorted to Eric's locker room, hobbling there. "Ah, hello. I'm Eric. And you?" said Eric. "Suzy. Nice to meet you," I said as we shook hands. "I see you enjoyed the show. But you're experiencing some kind of ailment? Can I help in some way?" said Eric. "I loved the show. You were so wonderful. And yeah, I do need a friend; I have very few," I said. "Well I can be your friend, if that's alright with you," said Eric. I smiled and gave him a hug. He felt so warm, and I liked that. We chatted for a while, getting to know each other quite well in just a short time.

Months later...

Eric and I had gotten a lot closer over the past months. I had supported him as he was on tour with Kiss, and now they were on hiatus. In return, he supported me through all my pain and any other things I needed. We were coming home from a nice dinner. "Suzy...I want to ask you something," asked Eric. "What might that be?" I asked. "Will you be my girlfriend?" said Eric. "Eric...of course!" I said with a big smile. I gave him a big hug, despite the bit of pain I felt. Eric looked at me and moved in for a kiss. But I beat him to it and kissed him passionately. I enjoyed the moment, letting the kisses between us last. We finally broke it and we got ready to go home. On the way home we chatted some more and listened to music. We were going home to a new life together, a life of romance and happiness in all things...
