Adventures in Aberdeen

meeting them

Krist: where have you been? We had a recording session at like noon youve missed it by 13 fucking hours.

D: Im sorry I got carried away. I went to the record store and

At this point is was obvious that Dave was trying to change the subject.

D: hey, you have to talk to this girl she loves really good bands and Kurt she likes oversized sweaters.

Kurt didnt seem to care otherwise I mean he smiled but I could tell he was lost in space. We walked to I guess what they consider their living room. I found this huge, overstuffed, and super fluffy beanbag chair and plopped down.

Krist: you know what bugs me when people stand on escalators. Like they were made so if you walk you can get there like twice as fast than walking on normal stairs or just standing there.

S: were in this small town have you encountered an escalator?

Kurt: sweetheart no, when we tour we go huge towns and malls and things of that sort.

S: wait okay I thought that Dave was joking you guys are in a band?

D: Nirvana, just like I told you

They all just kinda laugh at me for a minute

Kurt: so you like our music but you dont know who we are?

S:yeah its hard to find anything but the music in Aberdeen.

Krist: I feel that. Not to be conceded or anything but what is your favorite Nirvana song?

S:I really enjoy something in the way. I like the cello in the background and the way I dont know how to explain it. That song just gives me so many emotions. It makes me feel like someone understands.

D: if you want we can go hang out at the bridge tomorrow before we go to the show.

Kurt: okay two things (1) you totally like her dont you and (2) really the rocky horror picture show let me guess you are going to go as Frankenferter arent you?

D: shut up and yes I will be Frankenferter.

The conversation carries on like this for what feels like eternity I just cant believe Im in the presence of the men who have gotten me through so many tough times. I end up sleeping in Daves bed.

D: ill sleep on the floor or would you prefer I went to another room.

S: I prefer you lay with me. I mean as long as thats not weird its just I have really bad night terrors and I prefer to have something to hang on too.

Dave smiled a like and got out of the floor. He crawled onto the bed and must awkwardly we ended up with his arm around me and my head on his chest.

D: so um if you dont care me asking whats the bruises around your neck from.

Ive never told anyone what they were about but then again no one has ever cared enough to ask.

S: about 3 months ago I was not in a good place for a lot of reasons so I tried to hang myself. My dad walked in cut me down said stop being stupid thats a selfish thing to do and no one has said anything about it since.

I dont know how I excepted him to react I tried to be as blunt as possible. He looked at me and kissed my nose.

D: Im sorry you should not have been treated like that. Im glad you are still here.

Something about him liking my existence made me cry. He just pulled me in and cuddled me. Have I ever mentioned how amazing he smells. I dont remember falling asleep but when I turn over Im still in his arm and the sun is out. we hear music playing, so excitedly we run toward the sounds. we find Kurt and Krist in the basement as soon as we walk in they stop playing.

Krist: so uh looks like you two had a fun night

D: all we did is sleep

Theres an awkward silence in the room but it is the truth all we did was sleep and talk about our darkest secrets.

Kurt: well anyway I want some breakfast anybody wanna go to Tar Babys with me?
