PUNK ROCK RUINED MY LIFESECTION THREE : AFTER HOURS
Orion, Crue and Morty were still at the venue, just sitting in the same alley way with a few guys from other bands.
“There’s the lover boy!” Morty announced holding up a beer and laughing. His red eyes squinted through his glasses up to the band’s front man.
“Oh jesus Christ.” Grim laughed.
“Did you get a kiss?” Morty asked as Grim slumped down across from Crue. Grim shook his head.
“She’s just a friend.” He said pulling a joint out of his jacket and lighting it up. He took a few hits and traded Morty for his underage beer.
“Bull shit!” Crue laughed from across the alley, she was sitting on the stairs of the venue’s exit, slouched over and obviously drunk. “You were drooling all over her.” She said holding her beer up higher as she tried to lean toward him.
“I like her, is that so bad?” Grim said becoming defensive to her tone and the dirty looks she was giving Oasis earlier.
“Who wouldn’t? She’s so perfect and pretty.” She said a little louder drunkenly trying to pick a fight.
“What the hell was your deal? You’re being a huge bitch lately.” Grim said getting up from the wall.
“It’s just nice to know that I wasn’t special to you!” she said with some tears welling up. “You never looked at me like that.” Morty got up and walked away, feeling awkward.
“Maybe because you were using me. That whole thing we had, don’t pretend you weren’t stealing shit from me. We would get so fucked out of our minds that all we could feel was sex, start doing it and then the next morning at least half of my stash and my money was gone along with you, it’s been two fucking years for hell’s sake. I’m allowed to move on. Just let it go!”
“If you get to move on then so do I.” she said wobbling up and shoving him back out of her face edgily. She stumbled to Orion, kneeled on the groud and tried to make out with him, he held her shoulders back and looked at her.
“Crue, calm down. Don’t start shit with the band.” He said looking at her, she was clearly emotional. “you’re drunk as hell.” He said as she shed some tears. Grim had never seen her cry before.
Grim sat down on the ground with them as she sobbed.
“Crue, I’m sorry.” He said to her. “We were dumb kids, we’re still dumb kids. You and I both know that we were just tearing each other apart. You’re my best friend but we don’t work as anything more than that. “ he said trying to comfort her and help her wasted mind understand. She rubbed tears from her checks, some of her mascara smearing all over her face. She slid through the gravel to Grim and hugged him.
“ I’m sorry I got so jealous. I treated you wrong before and you had every right to draw the line back to just friends. I’m glad our friendship survived us.” she laughed in some sniffles.
“It’s okay, I totally understand where you’re coming from. You’re pretty too, I’ve always thought so, but you’re like a shot of whiskey and I’m a… garbage fire. If you put them together someone is going to get burned.”
“We should write that down for a new song.” Orion smiled to them both trying to make the feeling a little lighter. Morty came back from his walk around the block to see all three of them huddled together.
“Hell, what did I miss?” Morty asked confused.
