Starry Eyes ~ Nikki Sixx

You Really Got Me

The next morning, I woke up on an unfamiliar leather couch, my head reeling as I tried to remember were I was.

I looked around the room in hopes of recalling, but it wasn't a familiar place... until I looked down; Kelly was sleeping on the floor beside me with a peaceful look on his handsome face.

I rubbed my eyes, trying to figure out whether or not to wake him up. With a slight shrug, I pulled the blanket off of me and carefully covered him with it so that I could go hunt for a bathroom and some painkillers.

I felt bad looking through his bathroom cabinets, but my head felt like it was about to implode, and I needed something to fix that. Finding a bottle of Advil, I sighed in relief as I popped the lid off.

"Oops, morning," Kelly said as he opened the door, quickly shielding his eyes 'just in case.'

I jumped, nearly dropping the bottle and spilling the pills everywhere. "I'm sorry, I just needed something for my head," I quickly explained.

"Don't worry about it. Why didn't you get me up? I would have gotten it for you."

"I had to use the bathroom anyway. You know you didn't have to sleep on the floor, right?" I mumbled, flustered as I shakily tried to replace the lid on the bottle.

"Well, I wasn't going to leave you alone; can't have you freaking out when you wake up, right?" he joked, smiling as he took the bottle of pain killers back in it's place in the medicine cabinet. "Do you have to be home by a certain time?"

"Probably, but I don't know. I don't really care," I said honestly.

"Alright... Well," he clapped his hands together, mumbling a 'sorry' when he saw me flinch from the loud noise, "What shall we do?"

"Uh... I don't know; it's your house."

He nodded. "Hm... Wanna look through my records and see if there's anything you wanna listen to?"

"Sure."

"Oh, I should probably ask if you're hungry first," me mumbled, shaking his head. "Let's get some food."

"By the way, do you have a sweatshirt or something I can borrow? I'm freezing."

"Of course. Sorry, the AC is really strong for some reason. They got it all tuned up and it's been icy ever since."

°°°°°°

After eating breakfast, listening to records, and talking for half of the day, I finally decided that I needed to go home. Kelly let me wear his jacket home, claiming that it would be a perfect excuse to see me again, which made me smile.

Of course, as soon as I stepped through the door, my smile dropped was I was hit by a barrage of questions from0000 Tommy.

"Where were you?!" Tommy gasped, pulling me into a tight hug.

"Oh, you care now?" I grumbled as I roughly pushed him off of me.

"What the hell does that mean? I was worried sick! Athena wouldn't tell me where you were, and I couldn't tell mom an-"

"Tommy, please, just," I waved my hands, "shut your mouth. I'm hungover and exhausted, so please, stop."

"Who were you with?"

"A friend."

"Who?"

"A friend."

"And who's jacket is that?"

"My friend's."

"Who?!"

"Kelly! Now, leave me alone," I muttered heading towards my room.
