Marigold (A Nirvana Fan fiction)

New Start

Olympia, WA
June 15th 1990

It had been a year since Nirvana's first album came out. Chad had left the band and Kurt and Krist were desperate for a new drummer. You knew Chad wasn't as dedicated to the band as much as Kurt and Krist were.

You, Kurt, and Krist were sitting at a long table watching different drummers come and go. You were thinking about a dream you had a year ago, where Chad had left the band. You never told the guys' about it cause they wouldn't believe you.

"State your name and age." Kurt said bored out of his mind. You have heard those words countless times today. You watched another victim step up thinking they were worthy of being in Nirvana. "Uhm.. Well my name is John Sinclair and I'm 18." The kid said. He was short and cubby, short blonde hair and gray eyes. "Okay, go ahead." Kurt said. The kid sat at the drum set that you set up for people to try out.

He failed. You knew he would too. The kid walked out of the room with his head down. Then a new person stepped up. "State your name and age." Kurt said. "I'm David Grohl but I go by Dave and I'm 21 years old." He said. He was tall, skinny, long brow hair and brow eyes. He looked familiar. "Show us what you got." Kurt said. You studied the guy then gasped. He was they guy from McDonald's! Kurt looked at you confused and you mouthed the words. 'I'll tell you later'.

Kurt was impressed by him. Krist had fell asleep, and you were struggling to keep your eyes open. Once Dave was done Kurt shot up in his chair and walked over to him. "WELCOME TO NIRVANA!" Kurt yelled causing Krist to shoot up. You look at Krist and laugh. "What happened?" Krist asked. "We found a new drummer." Kurt said. "REALLY??" Krist asked shooting up in his chair. "Yes really, if you weren't sleeping you would know!" You say getting up out of your chair. "I'm Kurt, thats Krist, and that's Y/n, she is our best friend." Kurt said. You waved at Dave and he smiled and winked at you.

You all piled into Kurt's small car. You sat in the front with Kurt while Krist and Dave sat in the back. Krist was tall and he had to bend down due to how small the car was. "Why don't we just strap you on top of the car and you can ride there." You say to Krist, causing everyone to laugh. "Hardie har har." Krist says rolling his eyes. It was a long day and you found yourself dozing off.

Dream:

As you, Kurt, and Krist stood in whiteness the figure showed up, you could make the person out. It was Dave. "Dave?" You whispered. "How do you know his name?" Krist asked. You ignored him. "Y/n?" Dave whispered. "How do you know her name?" Krist asked getting scarred and confused. You walked tword Dave and he walked tword you then-

The car came to a sharp stop causing you to wake up. "Oops, sorry." Kurt said. He pulled into a gas station. He got out and filled the car with gas. The car ride was a hour long to get back to Seattle. He surprisingly paied and got back into the car. Krist was asleep and Dave was looking out the window. We continued our drive back to Seattle.

Seattle, WA
June 20th 1990

You woke up. You stretched and climbed out of bed. You walked into the bathroom quietly trying not to wake the guys' up. Dave joined the band a couple days ago and so far you like him WAY better then Chad. You took a shower as you thought about things.

They had a concert tonight and it was Dave's first time performing with the band. Apparently he had a band in high school and also played the drums. Dave seemed nice and funny so far. You told Kurt that you saw him at McDonald's about a year ago but he didn't believe you.

You got out of the shower and tip-toed to your room. The guys bunked in their room while you had a room to yourself. You've talked to Kurt and Krist about having one of your girl best friends staying with you, they were up to it. She wasn't.

You got dressed into a tank top and some ripped shorts. You dried and brushed your hair. You went to the kitchen and began to make breakfast. Just the usual, pancakes and eggs. Kurt came into the kitchen. "Mornin' Y/n." He said in a groggy morning voice. "Good morning Kurt." You say giving your full attention to the pancake batter.

When you were almost done Dave and Krist came into the kitchen. The table you guys had was small but it could fit all of you. You put the pancakes and eggs on three plates then handed them one each. "Sit down Y/n, I'll get you your breakfast." Dave says. "No its fine." You say. "No its not, go sit down." Dave says. You give in and take a seat next to Kurt. Dave hands you the plate of pancakes and eggs. You smiled a thank you at him and he sat down. "What time are you guys doing sound check and all that crap?" You ask cutting your pancake. "Around three." Kurt says taking a bit out of his egg. "What time dose the concert start?" You ask jabbing a peice of pancake on your fork. "Seven." Krist says.

Sound Check

You sat in the seats watching the guys doing sound check. You found yourself staring at Dave, when he looked at you he smiled his big smile. You giggled and waved. Before you knew it, it was concert time.

*Untill next time!*
