diamonds and fast cars

the cold air complimented my skin as i sat on a bench outside the party. my brother; tom keifer, insisted i came with him to this big rock and metal party in which the frontman from guns n roses had invited him to, along with his band, cinderella. the crowds had soon became too much for me, people getting high, drunk and fucking in every corner of it. if it was any constellation, i did not want to be here.

as i pulled a cigarette out of my emergency stash, lighting it quickly i glanced around at my surroundings. there was a path to my left, away from the bench and tables with trees gently swaying in the cool breeze above it. before i could take in any more, a tall figure waltzed out of the party, resting upon the enormous houses' wall. it was too dark to see their face, however they did appear thin and rather lanky.

i pulled my gaze away from them, noticing a smaller blonde girl walk over to them with a lit joint in hand. they're probably some big star, there's a ton of groupies in there. it doesn't matter to me, so why would i care anyway? i hopped off the bench, hoping  the two wouldn't notice my disappearance as i made my way down the path that followed the treeline, setting my focus upon the ground now infront of me.

somehow, a tall street lamp shone outshone others rather brightly, catching my eye and bringing me back to my senses and back to reality from my thoughts as i averted my gaze to it. i instantly grounded myself, touching my dress to remind myself where i was. as i did, i noticed the footsteps i had somehow ignored previously. i took a few steps forward, away from the bright light to somewhat illuminate my face before i looked behind me.

it was them.

the same person from earlier, with no girl in sight. 'wonder if he got a blowjob' i thought to myself, noticing his looks yet still fighting the urge to snicker at my own imaginary remark. then, something snapped me out of it.

"uh, hey. are you okay? you seemed rather off and i noticed you earlier." the man spoke. his tone was comforting, relaxing.
my nerves eased and i spoke ; "yeah, i'm okay. just kinda out of it i guess."
"i get that. glad you're okay though" he said, lighting up a cig of his own.
i nod in response.
"here with anyone?"
"my brother, i'm not sure if you'd know him. tom. keifer." i reply.
"oh yeah, i know him. he's a nice guy, cinderella, right?"
"that's the one. i'm not usually involved in all this, don't get me wrong i love all the music and vice versa  but somehow he managed to drag me here."
this earned a chuckle from the mystery man, causing a blush to rise upon my cheeks.

under the light, i got a closer look at him. he wore a white shirt, unbuttoned three down and messily tucked into a pair of black baggy jeans with a belt, a leather jacket thrown over one of his shoulders. his black hair matched the coat perfectly, a shine radiating off of it. and his face. wow.

"never got your name?" he says, a smirk appearing upon his defined features.
"y/n. you?" i say, trying to sound curious.
"izzy. stradlin" he says, a charm in his tone making me refrain from blushing once again.

scanning over his face once more, i notice a vibration on my hip.
of course, my phone had to ruin the moment. i lightly sigh, knowing who it would be. and just like that, it occurred.

tommy

tommy
where the fuck are you?

great, he's already pissed at me. probably got his drugs taken off of him or some shit.

y/n
i'm on a path outside, i'll be back in just give me a sec. in the meantime remember to breathe for once

i better speak to izzy, or he'll think i'm chatting about him to some other guy.
i sigh before speaking: "gotta get going, toms mad at me already."
"why would he?"
"he doesn't like me being out of his sight, he's a weird one in that sense." i reply, earning a chuckle from izzy.

before i know it, we're already back outside the party where it all began.
"before we go back in, could i um- get your number?" he spoke, clearly nervous as he passed his phone to me.
"of course you can." i say, holding in a giggle and slightly muffling it. i type the digits into his phone, before we say our goodbyes and return back into the party.

"KEIFER." tom shouts, clearly grumpy as usual.
"what do you want tom, are we going or? you've already confused me."
"WHERE have you been?!"
"just taking a walk, could you relax for once? you're gaining us enough attention as it is." i remark, noticing the heads turning towards us.
he grumbles in response before grabbing my wrist and dragging me outside.

"not even asking me to leave? i see how it is y/n. all you had to fucking do was as simple as ask and i would've came with you but no! anyone would think i was a stranger to you huh?!"
"tom fucking relax! i shouldn't have to ask you to do that! you can't control my every move tom, im not a child anymore!" i reply, blatantly. this earns a loud scoff from tom as he storms off the same path i did previously.

a familiar scent enters my nose once again, in all his glory. once again, izzy. he stood behind me, leant against the wall i was inches away from.

"need a ride home?"
