Kingdom Of Cards chpt 4 N.S. story Bad Omens

Boiling water

TWO WEEKS LATER
"I don't have enough! My father just died, I need you to understand that. " I cried as the landlord shook his head.
"I'm sorry to hear, but miss Sydney?
I can't allow you in. Your credit isn't enough and we have other clients who are interested. I'm sorry." I slam my hands down on his desk before grabbing Sebastian's hand and leaving.

This is the tenth place to decline me.
Sebastian and I are literally homeless, we're staying at a hotel for two more nights and that's it. I don't have enough money to keep going like this.
What do I do?

I quickly climbed into my father's car and start the engine. God you need to help me. I then pulled out of the parking lot and head back to the hotel...

Noah's POV
We were on our last tour which we scheduled to be in Virginia. It's our home and all I want to do is go sleep in my actually bed.

The boys and I were walking back stage to change our clothes. As I was changing my pants, Will come running down to me. "Hey man! See ya on the bus." I smiled before saying "sure man, see ya then " he and his band just finished opening for us so it's time for us to get out there.

I meet the guys by our curtain and out we went....

7:55 p.m.
"YES, LIMP BISKIT!" I yelled as we all raised our beers in the air to celebrate our final show this year. "I F*CKING LOVE LIMP BISKIT!" Will yells as Folio, Nick, and I were head bobbing to the beat of "Nookie". "NOAH, LET'S GO OVER TO THE DANCEFLOOR!" Will yells as the boys and I follow him down to get closer to the speakers.
Jolly decided to head home, so he's missing out, but I get he's tired and is the oldest of us all. I raised my beer and started singing the chorus with my friends....

Eleanor's POV
I've been driving all day trying to find a place to live, but no one will let us in. I don't know what to do now. I have a son to care for, God why is life so hard? I wondered as I parked right next to an amphitheater. I glanced at the bands playing tonight which read
Lorna Shore & Bad Omens one night only 5PM as soon as my eyes crossed to "Bad Omens" my heart fell to floor in pieces. That beautiful man I abandoned five years ago is here in his home state of Virginia tonight.
Should I go? Will he remember me?
Of course he will, you broke his heart.
No stay in the car, no get in there!
All these thoughts kept running through my head as some fans were leaving the front doors. I looked in my mirror and saw that Sebastian was asleep, that must've been a sign.
I take a deep breath and grab my inhaler before stepping out of the car quietly. I quickly lock the doors and jog up to the front doors of this amphitheater to the two men in yellow jackets. "Can I please get in to see Bad omens? I know the frontman and really need to speak to him." I said quickly as the men give me a disappointed look. "I'm sorry miss, but Bad omens just left. This was their last show of the year, maybe next year." I sadly nod before slowly walking down the wet sidewalk.
I once again wasn't there for him, not that he cares but I feel so ashamed.

As I walked past drunk girls and men smoking weed, I saw a bar. I really could use a drink right now, so I slowly walk my leather heels to the front door and pull it open. The smell of cigarettes, weed, alchohol, and sweat instantly burns through my nostrils as I make my way to the bar.

I take a seat on one of the faded leather barstools and wave the bartender over. "Hey, what can I get ya?" He asked with his large muscular body leans over the counter to get my order. "Whatever kills failure." I said as he chuckles, "That's not you, but I know exactly what you're wanting " he smiles before walking off to prepare me something. As I spin my stool around to face the dancefloor, I watch all the happy people here tonight celebrating. They looked so happy with each other. My eyes drift off to the front near a stage, I saw lots of metal heads bobbing to a Limp Biskit song.. it reminded me of Noah, he loved that band.

Pushing my blonde hair back, my eyes drift to a group of guys. All black clothes and tank tops, with beers in their hands. They were muscular and were covered in tattoos. As I looked at the tallest one, he laughs before looking in my direction... that's when our eyes met.

My mouth was wide open in the most shocking way. His hair, his tattoos, his smile, and then his eye... That man was the man I abandoned years ago and broke his heart...
