Sunset strip

Cora's p.o.v
My name is Cora Jensen. I'm 21 years old. I love rock n roll. I grew up with it because of my parents. My dad passed away when I was 13. Luckily before he had passed, he taught me how to play the guitar. He had his own band. Now of course I followed in his steps and joined a band, The Red Velvet Hearts, along with my 2 best friends Adele & Tammy. Adele is the lead singer of the band and Tammy plays the drums. We have another member of the band who plays bass, her name is Priscilla, she's Tammy's cousin. I'm not so fond of her only because when we were in middle school I had the hugest crush on this guy, when I told her about it, she immediately went off the next day to kiss him. Like seriously? Who does that shit? Then there was this other time during freshman year when I was dating my first boyfriend Omar who would constantly always ask me for sex. But being the virgin that I was at the time, I didn't want to do it with him so he went off to go cheat on me with Priscilla. I mean in the end, it didn't really matter because it was all just pointless drama so I decided to drop it for the sake of the band which we formed our senior year. Hating Priscilla was petty to be honest. So I let it go. Do I hate the girl? No. Would I kick her ass if it wasn't for the band? Yes. Anyways, through out the past 3 years we've been playing down the sunset strip. A lot of our favorite bands began their rise in fame there. Unfortunately it was the 80's. It was really hard for bands to get noticed being that there's so many. It was even harder for girl bands such as ourselves. Sex, drugs, and rock n roll is what it was all about. I've had a few body counts here and there. Perks of being in a rock band. Drugs? Well I wasn't too hard on it, I mean sure I smoke pot, drink every now and then but not constantly. Although my band mates do just a little bit more than me but they don't do it constantly either. And of course Rock n Roll was the life. We all just wanted the rock star life, although we should've been careful with what we wished for. And it all started the summer of 84'.
"Hey what time are you guys going to meet us at the whiskey?" I ask Tammy who's browsing through my records. "Like at 9:30? We have to be set up by 10:00. We go on at 10:30 right?" She says. I look at the schedule that contains the 2 bands that are also performing tonight with us. "Yup." I respond. "What are you guys wearing tonight? Adele asks reading a cosmo magazine. "Well I for one am gonna wear my red tight dress, with some boots, and my black blazer jacket." Priscilla speaks. "Perfect." I respond. "Plus, I'm trying to get laid tonight. We all know that dress makes the magic."She says painting her nails red. "True." We all say in unison. "What happened to that Richard guy?" Adele asks. "He was purely shit. We went on a few dates and all of sudden he decides to cheat on me? I do not deserve that crap." Priscilla scowls. I look over at Adele and Tammy, we share a look that only we understand. Tammy may be her cousin but she doesn't always agree with what Priscilla does. I almost laugh at what she had said. "So we have the set list ready right ?" Tammy asks grabbing her purse off the table. "Yes ma'am we do." I reply. "Alright then. We gotta motor if we want to have enough time to get ready." She says. Priscilla grabs her keys off counter. "Sounds good. We'll see you guys there." Adele says. "M kay. Call us if anything." Priscilla said. Adele and I walk them out the apartment door. Tammy and Priscilla are roommates in the apartment complex a few blocks down. Adele and I live together in the apartments on Clark st. Exactly where Motley Crüe used to live in.
