Daddy's Girl

8. Jealous

"I really don't get why it matters, April." I admit as we finish up rehearsal.

"I don't understand why you think it doesn't matter, Queen B." She admits.

"For the same reason you don't talk about your odd relationship with CC." I state and she rolls her eyes.

"CC and I have been together on and off for about two years now. We fight a lot and Vince doesn't like him but we love each other for some stupid reason." April explains. "Now what's going on between you and Sebastian?"

"Nothing, alright? I went with him and his band to listen to them played. We're friends and we have a lot in common."

"Like what?" She pries and I roll my eyes.

"We're both working on becoming American citizens, he was raised in Canada. We're both about the same age, he'll be twenty next month and I'll be nineteen." I start and she makes a face. "I love you guys but you're all quite a bit older than me, I think there's eleven years between Nikki and I and even more between Mick and I." I remind her.

"So you're not fucking him?" April asks and I shake my head. "Tommy and all the guys think otherwise."

"Let Tommy think whatever the hell he wants." I state and she laughs.

"You're kinda petty, I like it." The singer laughs. "You know Tommy is pretty torn up about what happened between you too, he doesn't know how to process what's going on in his head so he's just angry but he really does care about you." April admits. "I've known him a lot of years now and I've never seen him so hung up on a broad. You're messing with his head, Bella." She tells me and I narrow my eyes.

"If he cares about me so bloody much he shouldn't push me to do things I'm not ready for." I mutter.

"I completely agree with you but you also have to understand that Tommy is a rock star and he's not used to being told no when it comes to anything in the sex department." April bumps me with her shoulder and laughs. "You're a whole new world to him."

"I don't mean to be its just--well I don't know." I admit and she smiles.

"The whole 'I'm a rock star' thing doesn't work on you because you grew up around rock stars." She reminds me. "Tommy isn't exactly used to that. I love him but he got used to every pretty girl throwing themselves at him."

"Well I do care about him but...." I trail off because I don't really know the answer. "I didn't realize that--"

"You didn't realize that not being a whore was a bad thing in this country?" April asks with a laugh and I laugh.

"Exactly." I agree and she smiles.

"You'll figure it out, crumpet. I promise you that." She swears and hugs me into her side. "Stick with me kid and I'll teach you the ways of the Los Angeles slut. A craft I train for many years in." She laughs and I roll my eyes.

Tommy

Why do I feel cheated on? I guess I did break up with Bella but I definitely didn't think that she'd bounce back that quickly. Did I not mean anything to her? Now in pure aggression towards me she went and slept with that, that kid. If I could've just waited for a little while longer...

"What are you thinking, T-Bone?" Vince asks as we walk towards the bar.

"Nothing." I states and he laughs.

"It's the little British tart, right?" The singer asks.

"Shut up." I mutter which only makes him laugh harder.

"Come on, we'll hook you with a girl tonight and you'll forget all about that Bonham girl." Vince promises and wraps an arm around me.

We walk into the bar to see Guns, Poison, and the girls are all hanging around the bar. Nikki and Mick are shooting pool with Axl, Bret, Casey, and Duff. Izzy, Slash, Bobby, and Mel are playing poker at a table. CC is bothering April who is sitting at the bar. Rockett and Steven are trying (and failing) to pick up bar tenders. Bella is sitting at the bar talking to that guy...Sebastian.

Bella looks hot, she's wearing skin tight blue jeans and a low cut black tank top. Her dark brown hair is hanging in perfect curls that touch her mid back. Bella is smiling and talking with Sebastian. I love her smile...and her eyes...and her laugh...and her...fuck her.

I hate Sebastian right now, I'm sure he's a great kid but I hate him for being with Bella. Everything was supposed to work out with Bella and I, I was supposed to be the one to take her virginity. I really wanted to be a bunch of firsts with her. I wanted to be with her the first time she went to the Santa Monica Pier and coupley bullshit like that.

"Come on, T-Bone." Vince says and pulls me towards the pool table. "It ain't even worth it."

"I want to talk to her." I whine. "And I want to punch him in the face." I admit and he laughs.

"We definitely don't need you arrested today. We leave on tour again in a couple of weeks, you'll forget all about her as soon as we're back on tour. I can promise you that." Vince states as we make it over to the pool table.

Bella

I glance over to the pool table to see Tommy joking around with Nikki. I guess part of me was really hoping that seeing me with Sebastian would at least make him a little jealous. I really did mean nothing to him, I guess.

"Hey, are you alright?" Sebastian yanks my attention and I force a smile.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I lie and he smiles.

"You're a dirty lying Redcoat, aren't ya Bells?" He smirks and I gently hit his arm. "So what's wrong? Boy toy isn't jealous?"

"I don't think so, I mean I thought I meant something to the bloody bastard." I mutter and he frowns. "Come on, bars are boring when you can't drink." I say and get off my bar stool. "Want to go get something to eat?" I wonder and offer a hand out to Sebastian.

"Yeah, I'd love to." He agrees and grabs my hand.

"Bye April!" I call but I see she's snogging with CC, I guess they're back together. "She won't even notice we're gone." I laugh.

Tommy

"I don't like the look of that." Mick mumbles and looks past me.

"What?" I ask and start to turn around but Nikki stops me.

"You really don't want to know, T." The bass player promises me but I turn around anyways.

I turn around to see Bella and Sebastian exiting the bar...again. I know what they're going to do as soon as they get to one of their houses and it makes me sick. That's when I notice their intertwined fingers, they're holding hands now? I'm supposed to be holding hands with Bella and being all cutesy!

"That's it." I mutter and drop my pool cue. "I'm going to talk to her."

Now I know the people around me tried to stop me but at this point I didn't care. I just kept walking towards the door.
