1997
Boy had the years flown by. There were rough patches ups and downs sure. But in the end Scott had stuck by your side. And when he went down one knee you of course said yes.
You called your parents who were excited for you. And then you called Anthony he was happy for you and congratulated you and was happy you found someone special. STP (Stone Temple Pilots) was playing a a festival and Scott invited you to come along and show off your nice (ridiculously shiny) engagement ring to all your guys friends. His band mates were happy for you guys too. Scott and you were alone backstage. "Come here baby" Scott said. As he began to kiss you. Scott pushed you up against the wall of the hallway backstage and the two of you began to make out. Scott couldn't keep his hands off of you ever lately. He always wanted to show you off. You didn't mind either Scott made you feel special. One of his hands rested on your waist while the other tangled in your hair as your twos tongues danced gracefully in each other's mouths. You then heard people coming. Oh well you thought it was backstage at a rock concert what else would people expect. You opened your eyes to see Anthony walk past you hadn't seen him in a very long time only sporadic phone calls. You pulled away from kissing Scott and watched as Anthony walked past totally ignoring the two of you. He looked different. He looked healthier and his hair was short and bleach blond. A puzzled look appeared on your face. "What's wrong babe?" Scott asked. "Nothing just I uh didn't realize Red Hot Chili Peppers were playing at the festival too" you said. "Oh sorry I kinda forgot about them" Scott said lightheartedly. "Does that bother you?" Scott asked. "No no it's totally cool." You said. Which it was you and the guys were still friends and it's not like John would be there...
Or so you thought
Just then a man you could recognize a million miles away appeared from around the corner. John Fucking Frusciante. He looked healthier too last you heard about him he was completely strung out on heroin. But he looked healthier and he was smiling  he had a mohawk  now  too. "What the fuck" you whispered under your breath. "Huh?" Scott asked. John walked past going the same direction as Anthony had but unlike Anthony John had definitely noticed you and made direct eye contact with you. He then turned his head and walked away. You couldn't believe it.
