I sat up breathing heavily as the shrill ringing of my mobile registered in my head. I grabbed it from the side and looked at the screen, that unknown number again I declined the call and ran my hands through my dripping hair. My clothes were stuck to my body as I climbed from the bed. I stripped as I crossed the room, I switched on the shower and climbed under the steady stream of water. This last week has gone so quickly I cant belive its tommys birthday in a matter of days, I will go back home for that go visit his grave put some fresh flowers on it.
I had to go back and get the rest of mine and his things from storage anyway, I washed my hair as my hands ran down my body to where the remnants of my dream had led to an impressive if not irritating erection. "Fuck sake" I muttered even in my dreams he was driving me crazy, lately they've been more dirty than frightening maybe I just need a good round of sex. I took care of my problem and climbed from the shower and brushed my teeth.
My gaze fell on my reflection in the mirror, pale skin speckled with freckles and dark circles under my eyes. I reached for my foundation and started spreading it over my cheeks, I reached for my eyeliner as I put it on trying my hardest not to poke my eye out with my shaking hands. I really needed to eat more but I don't seem to have the time these days.
The doorbell rang as I prodded myself in the eye, it immediately started watering as I cursed loudly. I grabbed a tissue and held it to my eye as I went downstairs and opened the door. a blonde and a dark haired girl turned round. "Hey handsome" the blonde said, "I know its been a while but you don't need to cry adam" said the dark haired one. "Est and garnet!" I cried as they smiled and flung ther arms round me.
I stepped aside to let them in, Garnet whistled as she looked round. "Wow swanky" she said smiling, "its alright" I replied. "Its posh check you out going up in the world babe" she commented wandering around. Esther smirked "I thought we taught you to put your eyeliner on properly" she teased. "I know im just hopeless" I commented, "here let me" she answered rummaging in her bag. She pulled out makeup wipes, I didn't think anything of it she worked in theatre so she always had random stuff in her bags.
She wiped at the black smudges, she pulled out eyeliner and did it for me as I smirked. "Thanks" I replied as she put the back in her bag, "welcome anyway wheres garnet go to?" she questioned. "Oh you know probably raiding my makeup bag" I commented, she was a hair and makeup stylist for celebrities. They were my best friends, I had known them since college but they had been travelling a lot lately. Both just returned from the UK actually, "we should probably go find her" I said.
"Wait a sec, look how are you? Really?" she asked, I blinked slightly taken aback by her question, no one had asked me that in so long. "Im ok" I replied, "funny I don't believe you" she retorted. "What do you want me to say? Im tired, heartbroken, and barely coping" I said. "I can see youre tired even under all that slap" she commented. "Gee thanks, its just everything happened so fast, people are following me everywhere. Its continually going from one place to another, im exhausted and its only going to get worse" I said sighing as I sank into the sofa.
"The joys of being a celebrity eh ive seen it loads with people I work with. But it will get easier, please don't you make yourself ill because of it. Look stay here i'll make food" she answered as she got up and left. Garnet wandered down the stairs with tons of glitter all over her, I smirked as she sat next to me. "So hows things with my handsome bestie" she asked, "things are ok its getting there. How was London! Tell me all about it" I said turning to face her.
"It was amazing, I loved it so much. The sights, the smell all the people with different coloured hair. I saw where the queen lives, we posed for pictures with the guards, they aren't allowed to move or anything did you know that?" she started as Est walked back in with a tray of orange juice and stacks of pancakes. "We were just talking about London" I said as she placed the tray on the table.
"Oh yeah it was so good, you should come next time adam!" she commented sitting at my feet. "I might just take you up on that" I answered as we ate pancakes and talked rubbish. It was just like old times, I missed these two so much. I needed my friends in my life now, they were always there when I needed them and I was always there if they needed me. Weve done breakups, deaths, creepy exes and everything in between together. I loved them both equally, they were so different from each other but together they were the same person.
"So are you back here for good now?" I asked, "yeah we are back now. Im going to new York soon though to work on the musical wicked" Esther told me. "Aww man that's a 5 hour flight!" I said. "Yeah but its where the money is, im super excited. You have to come see it" she exclaimed. "Sure I will" I replied, "so what are we gonna do?" garnet asked. "Well I have a rare day off today" I replied. "We could go to the beach" garnet suggested. "Ok then, i'll drive" I answered. "Yay lets go" Esther answered as we grabbed some stuff and headed for the car.
