Sunset Boulevard, 1981.
(Gwen's point of view)
*LONG ASS CHAPTER
LADIES AND GENTS!*

I could not believe what I had done. I had actually agreed to go to a club with a bunch of idiots, besides Chrissy and Mick. It was bad enough that I had a terrible experience the last time I got drunk. This time who knows what could happen?
Chrissy and I walked the street to the Starwood where Tommy had invited me. On the way, I found it difficult to walk in heels but I also didn't feel too bad. Chrissy's heels were way higher than mine, so I didn't feel as much pain in my feet as I did for her.

It was extremely hot in Los Angeles. The sun was setting but it was still beating down on us mercilessly. Because of the heat, my jeans felt so uncomfortable around my legs. I wanted to hit myself for wearing a dark colored shirt but I had to suffer the consequences since home was a fifteen minutes across town, and I was too lazy to head back with heels on. I also didn't want to go back because the Starwood was packed full of people. There was a huge line outside we had to wait in for a while but we made it through.
When we did, all we heard was rock music blaring through the speakers. It was invigorating to hear the music that made me want to throw my head around, but I had to go with Chrissy to the table that consisted of only Mick, Vince, and Tommy. With no hesitation, Chrissy plopped down next to Mick and started holding a conversation with him.

I sat next to her, but I didn't speak much. I would only look across the table at Tommy, mentally regretting the decision to come, and to check my surroundings. I knew Nikki would probably be here any minute with Jane. When they would arrive my mind would be set on the bar for the rest of the evening. I knew I would not care if Chrissy had to drag me home or not, I decided in that split second that I was getting drunk tonight. Nothing would satisfy me more than a Jack and Coke.

"Gwen!" I heard a voice from the table call for me.

"You actually came!" Tommy said, surprised by my presence.

"That's what she said!" Vince chimed.

I released a coy laugh. "Yeah! Lucky me!" I said to Tommy over the music.

"Where's your boyfriend?" Vince asked me with his brunette eyebrows raised.

I rolled my eyes at who he was referring to. "Very funny, Vince!" I scoffed.

"I'd rather gouge my eyes out." I added, making them look at each other and chuckle. They obviously knew how to get on my nerves so well.

I then followed Vince and Tommy's eyes that were glued onto something behind our booth. "Well, look out! Cause here he comes!" Vince gestured with his hand to the person behind me.
