Little Sister of the Purple One (on hold for now)

When Doves Cry?

Kid got home around five after riding around after practice. The tensions in the band were at an all time high and he just wanted to get things back to the way they were. He wanted to call Wendy and Lisa, but what would he say? Maybe I'm being too harsh. They've always had my back, they wouldn't stab me in it..I hope.

Sighing, he seen Duchess was not home yet. So he laid in his bed and went to sleep for a few hours. An idea for a song popped in his head when waking up so he worked on that for a little while.

Dig if you will the picture Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?

Kid smiled, thinking of Apollonia. She was intoxicating whenever around her. He wanted to take her back to the lake to officially ask if she wanted to be his girl, even though they were already together.

"Damn, I think I love her.." He put the notepad down and rubbed his face. She showed up right when everything is going to shit. Kid sighed and got up, getting the girls tape from his coat. He went into his music room and sat down, putting the cassette in. Maybe I can write something with this.
He sat back and closed his eyes...

After a few seconds there was a loud bang from upstairs. Kid sighed, continuing to listen.

"You stay in this house!" father yelled.

He turned the music all the way up trying to ignore them but the room door bust open and his mom got up on his bed to get away.

"Don't leave this house anymore! You're always trying to sneak around."

Kid got up and stood in the door, hesitate to get involved this time.

"You never let me have any fun! I'm tired of this house!"

John L reached up and slapped his wife down onto the bed causing his son to take all the anger built up and push him against the wall. "Stop!" Kid saw what he had done in that moment of rage and quickly backed up, knowing that he would have to pay for that.

His father was obviously drunk as he looked out in the distance, lost for a few moments, his mother crying, "I'm so tired..I hate this house."

"...I could've made it if you would've just believed in me. If you would've only believed in me.." Francis L got up and went to leave. "I would die for you." The door slammed behind him and the only sound in the room was his mother's cries.

"Ma." Kid got up and sat at the end of the bed, touching his mothers leg. "Ma... we can leave, we don't have to stay here."

"We don't have anywhere to go. Besides, what would your dad do without me? What would I do without him?"

He was confused. How could she still want to stay with a man that gets drunk all day and decides to take his anger about his failed career out on her?

"Don't worry about me Kid. You still have a full life to live.." She sat up and wiped her tears. He watched as she left the room as if nothing had happened and it sparked an anger inside him that he didn't know was there.

Fine. I won't worry about dad slapping your ass around.

The Kid was happy that Duchess was not home to see what went down.

He put on some music and laid on his back, seeing that it was almost eight and Apollonia would be there soon to take his mind off things. Kid breathed slowly and closed his eyes until eventually falling asleep.

An hour and a half later he was woken up by tapping on his window. He rubbed his eyes and looked over at the clock. 9:33. Kid sighed and got up to open the window for his late girlfriend.
