Shot in the Dark: A Mick Mars X Ozzy Osbourne Story

Chapter 1-A Tale of the Fallen

I find myself, sitting in my living room strumming my guitar vaguely noting how wrinkled my hands are.... I am after all 71 years old, and I've lived it seems 1000 lives.... Ah yes, how fucking RUDE of me not to introduce myself: Mick Mars, the resident alien of Mӧtley Crϋe.... their guitarist for 42 years now. It's bittersweet though...for I have retired from touring anyway.... i just can't anymore, what with my A.S...and all. I am not gonna resign myself to a wheelchair, fuck that. I've earned it...the retirement from the road, believe you me...but God I'll miss those fuckers I call family, Nikki...Vince and Tommy Lee.... doesn't mean we won't make music together or see each other.... but ah yes, to the heart of the matter.

I am Mick Mars or Mick Mars-Osbourne to be exact.... Yes, you heard that right. For I am married to the notorious and legendary Prince of Darkness, and I have a story to tell, OUR story which intersects with the lives of my bandmates and others.

It sure the hell wasn't easy to get to where I am now, there was a time many lifetimes ago....that I believed that love was not for an 'alien', love was fleeting, that it HURT, and it didn't help matters in the least that summer of 1983....Nikki Sixx, whom at the time had been having a secret relationship with Gene Simmons....whom he shares children with and they are still married today and very much in love and handsy and that's all I will say on that...but anyway, Gene at that time had not yet come to terms with his feelings, Nikki was the first man he'd ever been with and then because of Our antics opening for Kiss, and when I say 'Our' I mean chiefly Vince, Tommy Lee and Nikki, Kiss threw us off their tour....the reasoning being at the time or so we were told that we were too wild, too much for them, I think personally at the time that we upstaged them which Nikki especially had believed at the time and then it was true at least in part but ultimately it was mainly because of Doc, always pulling strings for the money, for our own good as he used to say. 

The damage though had been done, for Nikki was already pregnant with Gene's child when we were thrown off that tour and was pregnant.... during the tour we were thrown straight into with my husband Ozzy. So no, I didn't believe in love.... but that didn't mean I was heartless by any means, not at all.

It wasn't exactly a secret when I first met Ozzy that I had a crush on him, that I hadn't liked to admit, I was shy.... kept to myself, didn't get involved in the crazy ass antics my bandmates did with Ozzy, but I denied how his smile made me feel, his eyes so expressive. I had no reason to believe he noticed me at all, but to my surprise on that tour he sought me out, he'd caught me one night drinking a bottle of vodka and crying and I let him in....i let him in and I came to regret when I found out at the time he was married to his now ex-wife Sharon, I found out the HARD WAY and it fucking hurt. When I let Ozzy in a little, it resulted in a night of passion leading to life-changing consequences leading to my pregnancy with our first child and more consequences in conjunction with that.

How the fuck I survived that tour, I have no clue...but oh yes back to the story....

Nikki being pregnant brought our band closer together, we protected him and each other ESPECIALLY from Doc whose only concern had ever been the money and riding our asses, a total dick bag and funny story, Nikki would for a time after Mӧtley's tour move in with me...or more accurately run to me to where Gene Simmons could not find him, but Gene DID in fact find him and it took some time but let us say that they had a heart to heart after of course Nikki calmed down which again took time and Gene was determined to fix things, and had come to terms with his feelings.

All I knew was it fucking hurt to see how in love they were with one another, though neither had wanted to admit it, rather like my own situation with Ozzy. of course Nikki showing up on my door step was at one of the lowest points of my life, because I'd been kept in the dark finding Ozzy with Sharon the last night of that infamous tour in 83' and I had no fucking clue he was married and I'd already gotten pregnant with our first child, Ozzy shall we say had to figure out what he wanted, where his heart lay....to take a Shot in the Dark as it were, and again he wasn't the only one.

If I had to do it over? YES.... YES, I would. As it turns out taking a Shot in the Dark, brought out the best in me, it led me to having a family of my own, being in love, being SHOWN love and I was not the only one that found love on that tour with my husband in 83', for Vince Neil would fall for one Jake E. Lee, Ozzy's guitarist still to this day.... I....

"My fallen Angel." I look up as well as I can, but I don't need to see or hear my husband Ozzy, I feel my guitar taken which if it was anyone, but Ozzy they would get their asses beat, well Ozzy and my children of course are the exceptions. I feel a gentle kiss to my lips, getting lost in the feeling, as Ozzy moves to sit next to me. "You were bloody deep in thought darling."

"I was just thinking Oz, my beloved Prince of Darkness...." I murmur, "Thinking about our past and what led us here."

"Oh, my love I know, I know I think of it all the time myself. I broke your heart and I still to this day regret it, Sharon and I weren't meant to be, you and I WERE and ARE." Ozzy gently traces my fingers.

"We are." I murmur in agreement. "You know, I still can't believe sometimes you love me, you could have had anyone."

"Believe it my angel.... sure, I could have and could, but they wouldn't or couldn't be YOU Mick. You've always been perfect to me, absolutely bloody perfect."

"I'd go thru all that pain and that heartache over and over....it led to us having a life together, figuring out where we belonged, which was together." I feel tears fall and gentle thumbs wipe them way and I look into Ozzy's highly expressive eyes.

"I love you; I love you....my Queen of Darkness, my light and my soul."

Ozzy and I kiss once more, and I revel in it...I revel......

Taking a Shot in the Dark in Love or at love as it turns out, worked out for not just me but others too, it was a wild ride getting here I tell you now, fucking worth it though.

Come in and see what happens, you'll need tissues for a lot of parts, it's gonna be wild...hang on tight.
