Nobody weird like me

Part 48

John's POV
I woke up the next morning, after me and Ivy had been on the phone all night. To be honest the combination of weed and touching myself to Ivy, made me sleep like a baby. My morning blessing was disrupted, by Flea knocking on my door.
"Hey man, are you awake?" he asked.
I rubbed my eyes, yawning.
"Yeah I am" i said
"Great, can you wake up Anthony too? We have a meeting downstairs with Lindy!"
I sighed
"Sure, I'll get his ass!"
I wasn't delighted by the thought of having to wake up Swan, but guess I had to. Slowly I made my way out of my bed, got dressed and lighted myself a cigarette as I was walking towards his room. I knocked about twice, but he didn't hear me, so I took a deep breath and peaked into his room. I haven't had breakfast yet , so a naked Swan was the least I wanted to see. I tip toed towards the bed, there he was laying, on his stomach, in a white robe.
"What the fuck" I mumbled, as I tip toed closer to him. He looked like he showered but slept in his robe. With the cigarette in my mouth corner, I tried to wake him up.
"Yo Swan... hey Swan" i said. Nothing.
How deep did this motherfucker sleep, I thought to myself. I shook him now by his shoulders, that's when he twitched and a weird ass noise coming out his mouth, like he was choking on his own saliva.
"Greenie , is that you?" he whispered.
This made me laugh
"Yeah it's me Swan. What happened, why are you in your robe still?" i asked him, as he rolled over from his stomach, groaning.
"Fuck" he mumbled, as he looked down on him, he didn't realise he slept in his robe.
"Dude, what happened?"
"Ahh, I just took a bath yesterday night and then Mary called and uh you know" he said, trying to get up.
"Alright, you can spare me the details Swan. We're meeting downstairs with Lindy by the way so"
He nodded
"I'll be there in five minutes" he said, slurping towards the bathroom.
"Are you sure you don't need longer Swan?" is asked him, trying to hold my laughter back.
"Yeah, you comedian!" he yelled and slammed the door behind him. As I left the room, I knew he tried to bullshit me, he was such a bad liar. He didn't look like what he told me, he looked more like he fucked someone's brains out in the bathtub and since Mary isn't here, I assumed it was some random girl. I sat down with the others, breakfast was already served, five minutes later Anthony arrived too. He had his hair in a ponytail and sunglasses, instantly grabbed for a cup of coffee. Lindy gave him a suspicious look, before he went back to his papers.
"So guys, this is your last day here in Amsterdam, today you'll be playing a gig at the Dam square" Lindy said as he looked on his watch.
"I will suggest, y'all enjoy this breakfast, then you have a couple of hours to get ready and we'll head for sound check"
Everyone just nodded, you could tell,it was pretty early for us. This made Lindy laugh but he continued
"Tomorrow our next stop is gonna be London"
That's when I noticed that Swan got nervous all of a sudden. I couldn't tell why, but he seemed acting weird to me.
"Will we have separate rooms again?" Flea asked.
"I'm afraid not, you will have to share a room again" Lindy said, taking a strong sip at his coffee. We all sighed at it, especially me and Swan looked at each other with disappointment. Lindy sensed it
"I'm sorry guys, but it was not manageable this time" Lindy said as he got up.
"Anyway ,enjoy your breakfast and we'll meet later outside, at the van!" he said, clearly wanting to avoid the confrontation and left. For a while we were all silent, nibbling at our food.
"Man, London is a pain in the ass already, but with Chad in a room..." Flea said, as Chad punched his shoulder. "Yeah my pleasure Flea" Chad said laughing. I sighed "At least you don't have to deal with this horny motherfckr here" I said pointing at Anthony with my fork. Flea and Chad bursting out in laughter now. "You're just jealous ,Greenie" Anthony said, which made me furious, cause he knew the thing between me and Ivy was still a secret and I couldn't defend myself now. "Yeah, how can I not be jealous of a man, that slept in his bathrobe and looked like he fucked someone's brains out!" i said, finishing my coffee. Flea and Chad now looking confused.
"What are you talking about John?" Flea asked back. By now I could see Anthony was fuming inside. He stood up now "Alright I'm out, have a nice breakfast guys, I'm upstairs to call my GIRLFRIEND!" he yelled and left. There i was sitting now with Flea and Chad staring at me.
"What the fuck was that about John?" Flea asked. "Is he.. cheating on Mary?"
I shook my head " I don't know man, I just found him in his room today, he looked like he slept in his robe after he showered but that doesn't make any sense" i said, immediately regretting what I just said. Flea was shaking his head in disbelief "This makes no sense, cause yesterday he nearly fucked it up with Mary and tried to call her"
"What?" I asked back.
"We were at a bar and he came back from the restroom, all riled up cause some chick tried to blow him while he was on the phone with Mary" Flea continued. "But I know for sure he didn't return to his room with a random girl, I left him as he wanted to clear it up with Mary"
Now I felt bad for screwing Swan up, in front of the guys.
"Fuck" I mumbled, as I stood up, to go apologise to Anthony, when Flea stopped me.
"John, I don't think you should talk to him now. When Anthony's like that, you need to leave him alone for a while, trust me!"
I sat back down and sighed
"Fine, I'll try to talk to him later" i said
We finished breakfast and headed all back to our rooms. In my room, I kept looking over to the phone and then at the watch, it was too early to call Ivy, I didn't want to wake her up. So I decided to go for a shower. Freshly showered, I searched for something to wear. I really missed Ivy and it bummed me out that I couldn't have here and now that I had that fight with Anthony, it brought my mood even more down. The only thing that could distract me now from ,was picking up the guitar and play along with some Hendrix.

Ivy's POV
A loud noise coming outside of my room, jolted me from my sleep. I heard voices, one of them was definitely Beth's but I couldn't identify the other, seemed like a male one. I slowly got up to look who was there, when I peaked my head out, Beth saw me.
"Ohh shit Ivy, did we wake you up?" she asked giggling.
Who she meant with "we" I thought to myself, when Eddie appeared next to her. I had to laugh, but I was happy to see him. I walked towards them and hugged Eddie.
"Eddie just surprised me, i didn't expect him either" Beth said, radiant with joy.
"I'm sorry ,I woke you up Ivy" Eddie said, nervously going through his curly hair.
"Oh it's fine, I wasn't asleep for long anyways" i said.
"She was on the phone with her famous John" Beth said, teasing me.
"Famous John?" Eddie asked confused.
This made me uncomfortable
"Beth stop calling him like that" i said, nudging her.
"So who's this famous John?" Eddie kept asking.
"John Frusciante from the Red Hot Chili Peppers" i said, clearing my throat.
"Never heard of them, is he from Seattle?"
"No, he's from LA" I said
"Ohhh, I see"
"But they are currently over at Europe touring, that's why Ivy is on the phone with him most of the time" Beth added.
"Well look at you, guess a lot has happened since I was away, huh?" Eddie said, smiling.
"Guess so" i said shrugging my shoulders.
"That's not all that happened, she's also the bass player of Hole now, don't be so humble Ivy" Beth continued.
"Hey now that's something I need to congratulate you on Ivy!" Eddie said with enthusiasm and hugged me.
"Thanks Eddie, I really appreciate it" i said.
"This calls for a celebration, what do you think?" he asked, looking at me with eager.
"Ohh you know, we can do this tomorrow, no hurry" i said.
"No no, I don't accept that. Come on let's have a drink" he said, pulling me towards the kitchen.
So we all sat down, with some beer, I honestly enjoyed it. Beth and Eddie were always my favourite couple to be around and i was so happy for Beth right now, cause I knew how much she loved and missed Eddie. I so wished John could be with me now, it would be more fun, but I was grateful for the little distraction.
