In Drummer Heaven

Meeting Poison

"Tommy!" I laugh as he kisses my neck.

"Darcy!" He mocks.

"We told everyone we'd meet them at the bar." I say and he laughs.

"We'll only be a little late." Tommy promises as he moves to kissing my lips.

Rose

I swear Darcy's track record is just getting worse. She's always been late but now more than ever she's late. She's late for work, late for band practice and that's at our freakin' house, and she's late when we all meet up to drink.

We've pushed together like three tables. We're meeting up with Dani and her boyfriend's band and of course Crüe. The way that Jadie and I saw it we're all going to be spending time together. If Dani and CC are anything like Darcy and Tommy they're joined at the hip and spend a lot of time together. I mean it works out that we're all friends, I just hope that Poison will mix into our group fine.

Vince, Nikki, Mick, Jade, and I are all sitting around the pushed together tables drinking and waiting for everyone to show up. Both of our drummers are MIA.

The door opens and in walks, well, more blonds than we're all used to. Dani and some guy are the only brunette in the group. Dani holds the hand of a short bleached blond guy. The taller blonds are shoving each other like little kids while the dark haired guy laughs at them. They come over to sit with us and Dani smiles.

"Hey, girlies." She greets up. "So as you can see that Crüe knows Poison." Dani motions to the other three talking to Vince, Mick, and Nikki. "So that's Bret, Rikki, and Bobby. This is my boyfriend CC. That's Jade and Rose and--hey where's Tommy and Darcy."

"Together if I had to guess." Nikki says with a laugh.

"You know that would explain a lot." Jade says. "I mean Darcy has been later than usual."

CC and Darcy sit down across from us and Dani explains to CC what everyone plays. We all talk amongst ourselves and Poison isn't that bad, I mean Bret is kinda a whore by the looks of things (he was told to go fuck himself by four girls already and was threatened by three boyfriends).

Tommy

God, I can get used to this.

I guess Darcy and I fell asleep because I woke up in her room. I rolled over to see Darcy asleep beside me. Her back was to me so I can see the tattoo that runs from the back of her shoulder to her waist line. It's not really of anything, its tribal designs that twist into flowers and it's just pure black against her white skin. Darcy's red hair is around her neck and she breathes softly as she sleeps.

I love her hair away from her neck and gently press my lips to her neck. Darcy groans and I wrap my arms around her.

"Babe, come on." I say quickly. "We were supposed to meet everyone like two hours ago."

"Oh shit." She mumbles and she rolls over to face me. "They're going to murder me."

"Yeah and then they'll murder me. Then both our bands will be out drummers." I laugh and she smiles. "You're not going to open your eyes?"

Darcy forces one of her blue eyes open and I laugh. She blinks a couple of times then opens her eyes completely. She has really beautiful blue eyes.

We gets up and get dressed, we walk out to the driveway and I go to my bike but she goes to her car. I look over at her and she crosses her arms.

"If you get drunk and I have to drive back at least I can drive the car." Darcy states and I smile.

"I don't get drunk, babe." I say but I can tell she's not budging from this.

"Want to put it in the garage?" She asks and I nod.

Darcy unlocks the garage and pushes up the door. I roll my bike in and look at her once she puts down the garage door.

"Why are you so jumpy when it comes to getting home after the bar?" I wonder as she walks to her car.

"Parents died in a car wreck." Darcy says and climbs into her car.

"Oh fuck, right!" I say before getting into the car.

I shouldn't have said that. I know her parents are a touchy subject when it comes to Darcy. She lost them really young and I can tell she misses them. I know it's affected her an insane amount, I see the scars on her arms and hips. I just don't know what to say about them. I don't want her to hurt herself.

We drive to the bar in silence and get out of the car. I grab Darcy's hips from behind and hug her tightly. I kiss her hair and she turns around in my grasp.

"I won't try to drive drunk anymore, baby." I promise her and she smiles.

"I've already lost my parents, babe. I just don't want to loose anyone else that I care about." Darcy says and I kiss her forehead.

"You're not going to lose me, okay?" I say and she smiles.

Darcy goes on her toes and presses her lips to mine. I smile into the kiss and pull her closer to me.

I love her, there's no two ways about it. I'm in love with Darcy Nicole Killinbeck. Like every little thing about her. I'm not going to lose her.

We walk into the bar and I grip her hand a bit tighter. I see all the guys in the bar and I want to keep Darcy away from all of them. Then I see the guys at our table. I know that Mick won't try anything on her and if Nikki and Vince know what's good from them they'll stay away from her. But Bret Michaels is who I'm worried about.

We sit down at the table, Darcy sits beside Rose and I sit between Darcy and Vince. I can feel Bret glaring at my Darcy and I wrap my arms around her. I kiss her cheek then look at Bret, he quickly drops his gaze.

I know how he works are he's not going to get Darcy because of it.
