Set The Town Afire

"Fock!"

The first thing I noticed upon entering the tour bus were groupies, many groupies. They immediately set their attention on Dave, some coming closer at him despite me being in his embrace, and trying to provoke him.

Of course he joined the game and kissed a few, straddled another and acted like we never met.

"What the fuck? I thought you brought me here because you wanted me and not some chicks you could have any day, any time! I'm done with you!", I screamed and left the bus.

Of course running away wasn't the best option, but to me it always had seemed better than working out my problems. And things were simple in this case. A random fucked up wannabe-rockstar, who happened to look very similar to me, had tried to claim me for two times now. But of course all he wanted was sex, drugs and rock'n'roll.
I should have anticipated that, should never have trusted him even for a moment. Damn you ginger hair, it had always been my weakness.

This time I didn't run far, I didn't feel like attracting any other drunk's attention or exhausting myself. You see, my body was very weak. I was thin, but only because I barely ate anything. Excercising was a horror for me.

Dave followed me.

"Leave me alone. I don't want you to fuck me and throw me away like you do with all your other puppets."
He bit his upper lip, a hint of regret on his face.
- "I'm sorry. I... I didn't mean to..."
"To let your instincts take over control? What a pig."

The moment these words left my mouth, I knew I had said something wrong. His face displayed an emotion which must have been buried deep inside of him. I don't know how to describe it, but I could relate to it in a way I didn't understand. We had more than our appearance in common, I realized.

Without saying anything, I stepped forward, carefully pulling the guy into a warm embrace, caressing his broad back. I was so small that my face was on the same height with his chest, but I stood on my toes and craned my neck up so our faces were closer to each other.

"Tiffany... I'm a fuck up.", he whispered, his voice drowning in tears.
- "I will help you. I'll stay by your side."

Right after my promise, the hint of a weak smile appeared on his face and he bent down, kissing me on the lips.
