Chapter three

Luke's P.O.V

I run off stage full of energy and sweat. God I hope I never get over this feeling. It's like your free falling into the unknown but then see the light at the bottom and when you finally reach it, it's this place filled of alcohol and hot chicks. Well that's my idea of heaven anyway. I slap Ryan on the back on our way to the back stage room "Dude the crowd was so into us tonight! They're energy was amazing!" He yelled over the roar of the crowd that was still pumped. Him and the band feel the same way I do when we finish a show. I just think that they're heaven looks different than mine. "Right? That was a really good show!" Mike said smiling like a cat that just caught his canary. We walk into the dressing room and change into some dry clothes and chill there for a bit

"So when are we going to go scope out the prey for tonight?" Mike asks eagerly. Jake is bouncing up and down getting pumped for the crowd, it always gets pretty crazy out there at first and then the groupies chill out for a bit and let us party. Most of the time if the crowd gets too bad we just grab a couple of people and head to our house. But we have never had a problem with this venue. Thank god this is our last show in our tour for a few months until we have to go into the recording studio to work on some new stuff. I need a little break, no scratch that. My liver needs a break.

"Alright you animals, let's go hit on some woman and get fucked up!" I yell as I jog out of the room with a lot of enthusiasm. I see Ryan shake his head out of the corner of my eye and laugh. But he follows anyway and we're off to the front room where my next victim is. Jack one of six of our body guards is standing at the door and then nods his head while opening the door for me. I see all of them throughout the crowd and at every door. No this is not over reacting, the fans can get really bad sometimes. "Thanks Jack." I smile and walk out of the side door by the stage

I hear defining screams as the fans spot us and our other body guard Liam walks beside us keeping an eye out for everyone that comes near us. I wave and smile at them and see a lot of good choices for tonight's lay. We walk up the stairs by one of the bars at the left side of the venue and past another huge bar when we get to the landing of the top floor. This top half has been cleared out after we were done performing and turned into a VIP area for the band and anyone we want to be up here too. Since it's a huge floor we told the guards that the opening bands and their friends could join us up here.

I sat down on this huge red couch in the center of the floor and my band joined me and sat on the chairs accompanying it. This really hot waitress came over with my whiskey on the rocks and winked. smiled back and handed her a twenty dollar bill. For the rest of the night we had fans come up ten at a time to hangout for a bit and invited some of them back to the house for the after party later that night. Not all of them were woman, I invited some dude that seemed really cool and they loved our band and just kept complimenting us. So of course I invited them, I'm easy.

It was a really chill night and the fans were really awesome and said that they have loved us since we were locals seven years ago. This is why I love playing here, they treat us like family since we got our start here. We don't even make the venue owner pay us since he has been like a father to me. And at the end of every tour we choose this place last. Phil is a supper cool dude, I have been coming to this venue since I was sixteen and then when we got the band together he let us play on local band nights until we started headlining for the bigger bands. Then one night Guss our producer came here looking for new talent and the rest is rock and roll history.

I looked around below at all the people dancing to a Drake song and having a blast. Then I see this brunette taking pictures of this tall blonde dancing and they looked like they were having a blast so I told Jack to go get them so I could meet them. The brunette didn't look like everyone here. She was wearing black skinny jeans and a Black Keys shirt. I love them, so she might be cool. I was pretty cool to see someone here that's not wearing a shit ton of make-up and they're hair all done up and wearing a mini skirt. Like really? You're at a Metal concert, why would you wear little dresses with huge ass heels?

When I saw Jack reach them he pointed up to me and they both looked stunned. I smiled and waved, the blonde looked really excited about it but the brunette looked resistant. But came anyway, they slowly walked throw the large crowd and climbed the stairs. The blonde stumbles a little bit and the brunette shakes her head and looks a little irritated. I walk over to meet them at the middle of the floor and say "Hey ladies, I was just looking down at all the people and it looked like you two were having way more fun than anyone else." I smile my mega watt smile and put my left hand in my pocket.

"Oh well I guess you can say Sarah was having more fun than anyone else, I was just taking pictures of everything." The brunette smiles slightly looking around and taking in the VIP section. Sarah I guess is the blondes name laughs and playfully hits the brunette in the arm. "I'm sorry that I came here to have a good time and meet the great Luke himself." She smiles coyly at me while looking at Ryan out of the corner of her eye. "Well hi, I'm the great Luke I guess." I reach my hand and shake the brunettes hand and it is so soft that I lose what what I was about to say next.

"Um.. and your name is?" I ask the brunette when I recover. She blushes which I find adorable. Wait, what? Adorable? "Um I'm Marie and this is Sarah. Sorry in advance for her." Sarah looks at her and whispers something in Marie's ear. Marie has an annoyed look on her face from what she just heard and said. "Where's the bar? I promised Sarah that I wouldn't be all business tonight and that I would 'let loose' a little." She even did the little air quotes to show me that her friend was making her do this. I laugh and say "Business? What do you do here?" I ask actually really wondering things about this chick. This is weird.

"Oh I'm hoping to become a professional photographer so I took pictures of you guys playing and just everyone in the crowd. Basically anything and everything that could look good." She half smiles at the last part seeming unsure about how sure she is. "well I can help you two get to the bar and I can help you get drunk. I'm good at that." I say smugly. She rolls her eyes and walks past me with Sarah on her tail as they walk toward the bar. This night could get pretty interesting..
