14 Years [GNR/Mötley Crüe]

36. On With The Show

Nadia:

I could feel anxiety in the pit of my stomach as I stood in Vince's dressing room. In few more minutes, I was gonna play my first show and it was in an arena in front of ten thousand people.

I was wearing leather pants, a camisole top and a leather jacket. I paced in front of Vince's large mirror in his room as Crüe sat there including dad, doing their usual backstage business and occasionally trying to motivate me.

"Calm down Dude! It's just a show" Tommy said in the most chill tone to ever exist as he snorted of a line of cocaine, god I hate to see them do this, but he is only my friend, I have no right over him to say him to stop. I wish Heather was here.

"Can I tell you something? You are a fucking badass of a guitar player just like your dad. So there is no need to worry okay? If at all you fuck up, that's fine, it's a band which plays live, not a studio record." Nikki smiled at me. I don't know why after that day, he was always kind of nice to me.

"You are gonna do great kid!" Dad said in between gulping down his Vodka to which Vince nodded and smiled.

"Also you look hot today!" Barbie said as dad shot him a glare which made me chuckle.

I could hear the crowd chanting 'Crüe' all the way from here though they know it was gonna take at least an hour and a half for Mötley to go on stage.

"Tommy no one is in your dressing room, right? I am gonna need a few minutes there alone." I said to which he nodded.

Walking out of Vince's dressing room, my next destination was the Gun's dressing room. I leaned against the wall to the side after knocking at the door.

After a few short seconds, Steven poked his head out of the door.

"Hey, Nads!! Ready to rock the show??" He asked me with all the excitement a human can possibly have. How is this even possible?

"I need to talk to Axl," I said

Last time I saw him. He kissed me, and before I could react he pulled back, now we were in a situation where he kissed me and I didn't respond back. Awkward.... for him.

"Yeah, but we are gonna put on an amazing show, I just know that. Also, you look really great and......"

"For fuck sake can you just call him you dumsbass!!" That's what I wanted to scream at his inattentiveness.

"AXL CAN YOU COME OUT FOR A MINUTE?" I screamed out loud enough that he can hear me. While Steven gave me an annoyed look for interrupting him

"I love you popcorn. But I need to talk to him now." I said to him and his frown was replaced with a smile now.

"Hey....." A third voice interrupted us from behind Steven.

He was wearing black leather pants, a blue shimmery scarf tied around his forehead, and suspenders.

"Yo Stevie come here!" I heard Duff's voice from inside as Steven went back inside.

"What?" He asked me

"Come with me for a minute? I need to talk to you." I said before I took his hand and pretty much dragged him along with me back to Tommy's dressing room not waiting for any reply from him.

Once we were inside I shut the door behind.

Oh god, I can't breathe. I let my head fall on my hand as I leaned against the dresser in Tommy's dressing room.

"Hey, what happened? You okay?" He asked again as I now turned around to face him.

"I don't know. I don't feel good. I don't think I can do this......." I started rambling
