In Drummer Heaven

Dirty Little Secret

Dani

"CC stop!" I say as I shove him back into the passenger seat.

"I feel weird about this." He say as we follow Bret's mustang into the drive in. "Like I'm spying on Bret for Christ's sake."

"It's for Tommy remember!" I say.

"I don't know, it's just weird. I mean Darcy wasn't even in the car with him." CC says. "And I can't see him meeting her here. I mean you can't walk into a drive in movie."

"There's a girl in the car with him." I remind him.

"I swear that it isn't Darcy. Remember Darc has that bloody red hair." CC reminds me and I roll my eyes.

"I know, Tommy loves her hair." I say.

It's true, when Tommy was describing Darcy to me he absolutely loves her blood red hair. It made her stand out from the crowd and made her unique. It made Tommy notice her to start with.

"I swear the girl was a brunette." My boyfriend mutters.

"CC it's just dark." I say and he sighs.

We watch about half of the movie when Bret's car starts to rock. I shift and sink down into my seat. CC is about as uncomfortable as I am.

"Okay, I'm going to get some more popcorn." My boyfriend says and opens the car door. "Want anything?"

"Red Vines?" I ask and he smiles.

"Okay, I'll be back." CC says and walks off.

I try my best to ignore Bret fucking my drummer (who doubles as my best friend) in the backseat of his Ford...hey! It's the line from the song!! Oh my god! Is this where they got the inspiration for it! Gross! Yuck! No!

So a good fifteen minutes later CC returns with popcorn and my Red Vines. But he looks scared or worried or something.

"That's not Darcy!" CC hisses and I go cross eyed.

"CC, you're loosing your mind!" I state. "It's just dark, Darcy is the one in that rocking mustang with Bret!"

"Then why is she at her house?" He asks.

"What?" I demand.

"Exactly what I just said, Danika!" My boyfriend tells me.

"How do you know?" I ask.

"I have the sixth sense, D. What the hell do you think? I called the girls' house! Darcy answered!" CC explains.

"But we head Bret talking on the phone with her. Talking about the drive in and how he was--"

"I don't need all that information." CC says. "Darcy said that Bret told her he was going to play poker with Bobby."

"Do we tell Darc?" I ask quietly.

"Darc? What about Tommy? He'll kill Bret." He says.

"I think Darcy will kill him first." I admit.

What do we do?

Tommy

So CC and Dani told me that Bret is cheating on Darcy. I'm pissed but I'm not getting into their business. It pisses me off to think of Bret hurting my Darcy...shit! I've gotta stop thinking of her like that. Christ, Tommy.

We're all sitting in a bar, well, Poison and Crüe we're waiting for the girls to show up. I'm fighting every urge in my body not to beat the living shit out of Bret right now. Nikki glances over to me like checking on me or something. I nod and so does he.

The girls walk in shortly after that. They go to the bar first to get their choice of alcohol and then come over to us. Darcy walks up beside Bret and he wraps his arm around her waist.

"Did you win last night?" She asks sweetly and he smiles.

"You have no idea." Bret says and I shift.

"You ought to let Darcy go play poker with you and Bobby sometime." Dani says and crosses her arms. "She's pretty good at it."

"Yeah?" He asks and Darcy nods. "Maybe next time, babe."

For the record, I don't like watching Darcy kiss anyone, especially Bret. I know I can't do anything about it though. Nikki says it'll get easier and I hope he's right.
