In Drummer Heaven

New Broads In The Bar

Rose

"I'm gonna kill Darcy and Jewl." I mutter and Jade laughs.

"They said they'd make their shift and they'll keep their word." She says and I sigh.

Darcy is always late no matter how much she tries to avoid it. I love her to death but her timing sucks. She's either sleeping, or running, or dancing around our living room to old jukebox music. Darcy just looses track of time. I know she doesn't mean to, all four of us need this job so we can make a demo.

"They will be here." Jewl tells me and I lean against the bar.

"They have ten minutes until our shift starts."

Tommy

"Oh shit!" Vince says and puts his head on the table.

"What's wrong?" Mick wonders.

"Those girls!" He says and motions behind him.

We're in a bar full of woman, that helps us so much Vince! Nikki and I share a look.

"Which girls, Vince?" Nikki wonders and he looks up from the table.

"Okay so see the blonde and the brunette at the bar?" He asks and looks over his shoulder quickly. "The blonde's name is Rose and the brunette is either Jewl or Jade."

"Okay what do you mean Jewl or Jade?" I wonder.

"They're identical twins." Vince says. "I dated one of them and it didn't end too well."

"They seem like two of the nicest girls every, what did you do to piss off both of them?" Mick wonders and Vince scratches the back of his neck.

"The twin sister and their redhead as well." He says.

"What?" Nikki asks.

"Brunette's twin and their friend who's a redhead, Darry or Darla or something. Redhead was meaner than hell if you piss her off?" Vince explains.

"What did you do?" Mick wonders.

"I was dating one of the twins and I uh, I slept with the wrong one." Vince explains and we all laugh.

"You managed to piss off a blonde, a set of twins--" Nikki gets cut off.

"And a psychotic redhead." Vince finishes. "I just wish I could remember her name--"

"Darcy!" Rose yells and looks at the door.

Just inside the door is easily the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on. She stands five six if she's lucky and she's slim in build. She has straight red hair and bluey grey eyes. She wears ripped blue jeans and black leather boots, her leather jacket is open so you can see her Pink Floyd shirt.

"Darcy!" Vince says. "That's her name!"

Darcy

"You promised me you wouldn't be late." Rose tells me and I grin.

"Hello mother, how are you?" I wonder with a smirk and she rolls her eyes.

"Darcy, this is serious. You want the demo as much as I do, right?" She asks and I roll my eyes.

"Of course I do." I say.

"They why are you and Jewl late!" Rose states.

"We're not late. We don't have to punch in until nine." I say. "Look at your watch, honey."

"It's eight fifty five." She says quietly.

"See honey?" I laugh. "We're early."

"Darcy." Rose starts.

"Rose." I mock.

"Darc." She grabs my wrist as I turn back. "We good?"

"Yeah, of course we are." I say and hold out my hand.

Before you say anything, we did not steal this from Stand By Me, okay? I've known these girls since we were sixteen (we all ran away at sixteen), we've been rocking skin-it since then. Okay?

I punch in and Jewl and I start working behind the bar while Rose and Jade serve tables.

Tommy

I guess I was looking at Darcy a bit more than I was meaning to while she mixed drinks. Nikki and Vince started laughing at me.

"I guess our little Tommy is crushing on psychotic redhead." Nikki laughs and I roll my eyes.

"Vince, what's her story?" I wonder.

"I wasn't banging her Tommy, I was banging the one twin and her sister that one time." He states.

"Are you saying you don't know?" Nikki wonders.

"I'm not saying that at all." Vince says and he sighs. "It had to be Darcy?"

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"No one knows a lot about Darcy. She doesn't talk about herself a lot." He says. "I've heard she's from New York, Chicago, or here in Los Angeles. We only have it narrowed down to these places because she'll where a Yankees ball cap and a Blackhawks hockey sweater. LA they just kinda guessed. Jade said that no matter how much of a hardass she comes off as Darcy has a heart a of gold. She's the drummer for their band." I smile at that part.

A drummer girl, that just makes her hotter.

"Darcy is sarcastic, like sarcasm is second nature to this broad. She's got a short fuse and is very strong and stubborn. If you piss her off, you'll know it." Vince finishes. "That's all I know about this broad. Oh and she has a tattoo running from the back of her shoulder to her waist on her left side."

"I thought you only banged the twins." Nikki says and Vince nods.

"She wears crop tops, Nik." He says and we nod.

"Okay fair enough." I say.

I watch her as she makes drinks and socializes with the people at the bar. Even from over here I can feel her radiant personality. You can see it in her smile and her eyes. She loves talking to people.

"Tommy, why don't you go over there?" Mick wonders. "Talk to her or something."

"Yeah, I might." I admit.

"You fucking asshole!" A female voice yells.

We all look around to see one of the twins standing in front of Vince. He looks horrified. Darcy, Rose, and the other twin all go over to them.

"Easy, Jade." Darcy says and Nikki smirks.

"There's your opportunity, T-Bone." He laughs. "Thank Vince Neil."

"Yeah." I sigh as I get up. "Thank you, Vince."
