Never Knew,I Needed A Hero

Hit That Rewind Button

*1991*

   I sat alone, in the hotel room waiting for the guys to come back from getting drunk after the show. I really hated the nights they would stumble in drunk.

    It was just after two in the morning when Kurt and Krist came in fall down drunk, Dave looked sober and pissed off. I quickly got up and helped him pour Krist and Kurt into bed. I looked at him and gave him a small smile.

     "Did you have fun?" I asked Dave as he sat on the bed in front of me.

     "No not really because I was babysitting those two. I didn't wanna drink if I had to babysit them." Dave said with a frustrated sigh.

     I stood up and walked over to the small kitchenette, and grabbed a bottle of tequila. I brought it back to the bed and sat down.
 
     "In that case, why don't you and I get fucked up together." I said before taking a shot of tequila and handed Dave the bottle.

     "I like that idea." Dave said as he took a drink and handed it back to me.

      "Dave, you know something, I'm gonna miss these days when their gone." I said feeling a small pang of sadness in my chest.

      "Me too, but let's try not to think about that and focus on that bottle of tequila." Dave said motioning towards the bottle in my hand. I took another drink before I handed it to Dave.

     We sat there drinking in the hotel room until the tequila was gone. It was nice, we didn't say much but that was okay.

      "I need a smoke." I said as stood up and grabbed my cigarettes and lighter from my purse. Dave followed after me once we stood on the balcony I handed him one and light both our cigarettes with flick of the lighter.

      "Claire, every time I see you smoke it reminds me you're not as innocent as you look." Dave said with cheesy grin as he took a drag from his cigarette.

       "You've known me how long David?" I asked with a small laugh, taking a drag of my cigarette.

       "Almost two years." Dave said with a smile.

       "Then you should know I'm not innocent." I told him with a smile.

         "I know but you look innocent." Dave said as he stated out at the night sky.

          "Sure I do." I said chuckling slightly.

         "It's such a beautiful night, don't you think?" Dave asked smiling up at the stars once more.

        "Yeah it is." It was nights like that, that made me feel happy and content with my life.

       We finished our cigarettes but continued to stand outside on the balcony under the stars. It was such a clear night given the fact that we were somewhere in Montana. I couldn't have been happier than I was thay night.

     We finally went inside as the sun was coming up. We were still fucking ranked from drinking a whole bottle of tequila. When we slept we crashed hard. It was a little piece of heaven that makes me wish I could hit that rewind button.
