In Drummer Heaven

Help

Tommy

I am literally going to kill you!" I tell Nikki and he rolls his eyes. "What the hell were you thinking?"

"I clearly wasn't! I mean my fucking finger is turning purple!" He says and I look at his hand.

Sure as shit the end of his finger is turning purple and I groan. I look up to meet his eyes and Nikki looks as worried as I've ever seen him.

"Okay, what are we going to do?" I ask and his eyes dart around. "Call Mick? Go to the hospital?"

"Mick will never let me live this down and I'm not going to the hospital." Nikki states. "They'll try to cut off my finger like they did with that drummer from Def Leppard."

"Nik, that guy had his arm ripped off." I remind him and he roll his eyes. "So what? You want to go see Dani or Rose?"

"Yeah! Dani will be able to figure something out!" Nikki says excitedly and I roll my  eyes.

She's going to think we're complete idiots.

I met Dani shortly after meeting Poison. She kinda freaked me out at first, she told me that I looked like what would happen if a ten dollar hooker fucked a tree...I really didn't know how to take that. She's was the only girl other than Darcy that I've ever met that can drink enough to keep up with all of us.

Dani has a weird kinda relationship with Darcy, like the friendship I have with Nikki. They're best friends but are so insanely mean to each other at the same time. They drink an insane amount together, act like idiots on the stage, scare the hell out of each other, and they're always there for each other. They're friendship is so real it's scary.

Anyways we drive over to CC and Dani's and walk in without knocking like we all do. That's not always an advantage, sometimes you walk into things you don't want to see. This is one of those times, except I really wished that I walked into CC and Dani fucking on the couch.

We walk in the back door to see Kristallnacht sitting in the kitchen. Darcy is sitting on the counter snapping her gum in Jadie's ear causing the guitarist to hit her which makes my girl laugh. Dani and Rosie are sitting at the table looking at bridle magazines. Nikki jams his hand into the pocket of his leather jacket.

"Hey babe." Darcy smiles and something inside me lights up.

"Hey, I thought you had to do publicity shit." I say and she looks up at me.

"Finished early and Dani wanted to do wedding stuff." She explains and I peck her lips.

"You're helping I see." I say and she smiles. "I mean you're sitting on the counter snapping your gum in Jadie's ear."

"I'm working really hard." Darcy laughs and I kiss her temple. "What are you up to?"

"I missed you." I mumble and kiss her hair.

Nikki looks over at me and makes a face motioning to his hand in his pocket. Shit, I don't know how I'm going to do this. Nikki lights up and pulls Dani away from the table and into the living room. A few minutes later they come back.

"Darc, Jade, can you two do me a favour?" D asks.

"Yeah, of course." Jade says.

"Want to go to the liquor store? CC and the guys are going to be home soon and, well, I drank the rest of the Jack last night at like three in the morning." Dani laughs and Darcy smiles.
