"That's my Jessie!!" I rolled my eyes but my smile never faded. "It's Jessica but whatever I'll let it pass because we rocked tonight." I said as I took his hand away from my shoulder and walked ahead. The truth is I loved drumming it was a passion I didn't know I needed in my life but now that I have it I'm not letting go. I loved doing it but I didn't like hanging around when the concert was over. It was one of my rules that no one knew about. Sure they noticed but they never said anything. "Hey girl where do you think you're going" I quickly turned around and met Colson's eyes. "I'm going to the bus and get some sleep or just lay down you know I've been really tired these past weeks." I said as I started walking out the door. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back and started pulling me into another direction. "Colson......COLSON.....BITCHASS...LET ME GO!" I screamed slapping his arm. He finally let go of my arm and pushed me in a room. I went full panic mode, we were friends what was he trying to do. My eyes widen when I saw that he closed the door behind him and locked it. "NOOO please no don't do this." I said making myself into a ball in the corner of the room. "What the hell are you on......you need to get off of whatever that shit is Jessica." he said heading over to a mini fridge and taking out a Jack Daniels bottle. "I'm serious girl that's too strong for you just look at how you are." I quickly got up, " What......NO, I'm not on anything. I just haven't been sleeping to good these past weeks, maybe that's why I started to hallucinate." I said heading to the chair next to him. I mentally slapped myself, what the hell is wrong with you. I said as I took a deep breath. "You okay now?' Colson asked serving me a shot. I nodded my head and quickly sat down next to him. He put the shot right in front of me and served himself one. "Drink up...you'll feel better." "I thought I told you I don't drink anymore." He started laughing so loudly to the point it looked like it hurt. "I find nothing amusing with what I just said." I said getting up and walking myself to the fridge. As soon as I opened the fridge he slammed the fridge door shut. "What the fuck dude....you could've hurt my hand ." "Stop with all this I don't drink bullshit. All these weeks on tour you never celebrate. We had a fuckin fantastic show tonight and you want to go to a dirty ass bunk and sleep." He said stretching his hand to help me. I forced a smile on my face and grabbed his hand. "Thanks", I said getting up ," By the way my bunk isn't dirty. It's the fuckin cleanest in the whole damn bus." I said heading back to the small black table.  He sat down next to me and poured himself another shot. "Look Jessie," I interrupted. "It's Jessica, but go on." I said pushing the shot he served me over to his side. "Look Jessica", he said putting extra emphasis on my name. "You are gonna have to taste an alcoholic beverage sooner or later. Be confident that you will have the courage to say only one or two if you want two. I'm not trying to drag you back into this mess." He said as he drank out the bottle. He shook his head and I just smiled. "Okay.....but today is not the day." I said as I sighed heavily and put my head on the table. "Jessica I already said this like a million times but here it goes again. We had an amazing show, the best we had since we started the tour. You haven't celebrated not even once.....and no a fuckin high five doesn't count." I shook my head in my arms. "Okay if you don't want to do it for me or for your damn good drumming......do it for Guadalupe's wedding tomorrow." FUCK....my head quickly went up. "I'm a horrible friend I completely forgot she was getting married. But it's not my fault I've been moving around for like a few weeks....well more like 2 months and I don't know how many days. Well not that horrible I actually took my day off ....the only day off to go try on the stupid ass maid of honor dress." I said getting up and pacing around. Colson started chuckling "I don't think she would like her maid of honor to say her dress is stupid." I turned to him and mean mugged him. "Okay do you think she would prefer slightly less creative." He started laughing even more. "The dress is the less of my worries how the hell I'm I going to get to California by tomorrow." I sat back down and looked into space. "We can catch a plane god why are you so dramatic sometimes I swear." Wait a minute did he just said we, I turned to him. "We?" "Yeah, we are catching a plane I'm going to be your plus one I didn't get invited. Wonder what I did wrong" He said with a hint of sarcasm. I let out a small laugh. "Alright fine we got this." I said as I high fived him. "Pour me one." I said as I sat back down. "You sure?" "As sure as I'll ever be." He poured me a shot and then poured himself one. Fuck it if I'm going to get through this I'm going to need more than one. As soon as he put the bottle down I picked it up and started chugging. I immediately felt my throat burn but I took one more big gulp and put it down. "Close your mouth or insects well go in." I said as i looked at Colson. I started walking out the door as I noticed he was still sitting. "Come on plus one we have to pack for at least two days and book the flight." He smiled and said, "We only gotta pack...I booked the flight two days ago. I was waiting to see if you would ask me to go." He said drinking the rest of the bottle. "Alrighty then." I said as I walked out.
