Walk On The Wild Side (A Nikki Sixx Fanfiction)

Ten

"Hey Val! I was wondering when you would get home," Lita greeted Valencia with a smile. She was sitting at the kitchen table opposite from Nikki. 

"Lita! What are you doing here?" Valencia asked the blond. 

"Well, it's my apartment. I can be here whenever I want," Lita laughed.

"Yeah, it's just...you were supposed to be at your friend's house until tomorrow night." Valencia took a seat next to Nikki. 

"I got bored and decided to come home early. I only got back around ten minutes ago. However, I was taken aback when I saw Nikki hanging out in our living room," Lita said as she walked to the refrigerator. "Anyone want anything?"

"I'll have a beer," Valencia responded and Nikki asked for the same. 

Lita grabbed a beer for herself and walked to her bedroom. After a minute or so, Lita called out Valencia's name. "Val, can you come here for a second?"

"Lita calls," Nikki chuckled. 

"I'll be back soon," Valencia laughed in return and gave Nikki a quick peck on the lips. 

Valencia walked to Lita's room and closed the door behind her. "What's up?"

"What's up? What do you mean what's up?" Lita snapped. "What is Nikki doing here?"

"I invited him here last night. What's the problem with that? As I recall, this is my apartment too," Valencia answered angrily.

"He stayed the night?"

"Yes! What's the big deal? Why are you getting so angry about this?" Valencia's voice was raising in volume.

"Why am I getting angry? You don't even know him! Do you know the sort of reputation Nikki has?" Lita hissed.

"I'm quite aware! And it doesn't bother me," Valencia shot back. 

"It doesn't 'bother' you?! It should!" Lita exclaimed.

"Why?!" Valencia shouted. 

"Nikki isn't a good guy! He's a junkie and an alcoholic. I have never seen him sober. If you haven't noticed, he always carries a packet of cocaine in his jacket pocket. Also, I don't know if you've heard, but he fucks anything that moves. So what makes you think you're so special? He only thinks about himself. He doesn't give two shits about you, your wants, or your needs!" Lita shouted. 

"Stop."

"You can't handle it when I tell you the truth, can you?" Lita laughed. "But, then again, it doesn't bother you, does it?"

"How can you say that about him? You're his friend. You're the one who introduced me to him," Valencia whispered. 

"He is my friend. But you are too. I'm trying to look out for you."

"I can't imagine what you say about me to your other friends," Valencia said.

"Val, it's not like that."

"No, Lita. I don't want to hear it." Valencia started to back up toward the door. 

"Val, don't get so upset!" Lita pleaded. 

"Um...I'm going to spend the night at Celeste's." Valencia opened the door and saw Nikki standing on the other side. 

"Uh," Nikki cleared his throat. "I heard shouting and I wanted to see if everything was okay." He looked at Lita, who was glaring at Valencia. His focused shifted to Valencia. Tears were streaming down her face. 

Valencia pushed past Nikki and grabbed her car keys. She walked quickly to her car and fumbled with her keys, dropping them on the ground. "Motherfucker!" Valencia screamed.
