I open my eyes with a groan to see Danny laying next to me his arm wrapped around my shoulders, what the hell? Oh...I remember, fighting with Glen as per usual. Someone remind me why I came on this tour?
“Danny? Wake up!” I nudge him sharply in the side, Glen can’t see us like this.
“What? What’s happened?” He shot up in alarm looking at me in concern
“Nothing, I just don’t want Glen to see us like this, it doesn’t look good does it?”
“Not really, but you were upset and we all know I’m with Irma. That’s a point we have the first gig in Germany today once we get there. Irma’s meeting us after the gig and we’re going for drinks, it was going to be a surprise for you and Glen like a double date thing but under the circumstances I don’t think that’s happening?”
“I dunno, see how I feel I guess. I really need to apologize to Glen I was a bitch last night.” I sigh and put my head in my hands, I’ve been so stupid...
“It’ll all be ok little duck. Come here.” I feel the tears come, what’s with all this crying lately? I took a deep sigh pulling myself off his lap, I need to go where all big life decisions are made...the shower.
“I’ve gotta go..” I mumble a half arsed see you and traipsed to the bathroom...
My stomach felt knotted as I stepped under the shower, the hot water loosening the strained muscles. Through the violent patter of the water on the tile floor I can hear muffled grumbling. Thank god for the blackout shower front! I swear I could hear Glen’s familiar voice and Danny’s? It sounded like they’re fighting. I stepped carefully closer to the door pressing my ear against it, they were down the hall?
“What happened between you and Evie last night?” my heart kicked up into a panic, Glen’s confronting Danny what the hell?
“Nothing mate. She was upset and needed someone to talk to, I’m her friend. That’s what they do?” Danny speaks, calm and collected but Glen’s having none of it.
“Danny don’t lie to me. She told me you guys kissed, don’t play dumb! Stay away from her, you’ve got your own girlfriend stop going after mine! I thought you’d know better?!” his Irish tones growing stronger through anger...
“Glen, it was a joke a funny one time kiss between friends it meant nothing and you know full well I love Irma. You’re right I do have my own girlfriend, I’m not going after yours but if you don’t start treating her like your actual girlfriend someone else will. Think about that...” Danny hissed, footsteps telling me he’d walked away. I hope that’s given Glen something to think about...
The hot water carried on beating down on my back as I hurry washing my hair and body, lazily running a razor over the stubble on my legs which appeared over the weekend, I dunno who I’m doing this for Glen doesn’t appreciate it. Hearimg Glen pass the shower, I sigh to myself as I turn the water off and wrap a towel around my body, hell, I could walk past Glen naked right now and he wouldn’t bat an eyelid.
“Glen?” I try almost desperately to catch his attention, hopefully I can make up with him...somehow but he doesn’t turn around. The heart sinking feel is back again.
“Glen? Stop walking away from me...” I choke unintentionally. But it doesn’t change anything as I watch him carry on walking into the front room shutting the door behind him...
Crushing sadness turns to anger in a second, knuckles turning white on the towel around my body. When the surge fades I notice the shiver that’s taken over my body. The water that was once hot on my hair has turned ice cold dripping from the long blonde strands onto the floor.
