Psyche/ Pinkbunny

WIL+

            When we arrived in New Orleans, the first thing I did was search for Juliet. I tried the house first, but the lights were off and the door locked. I went the bookstore next, but Charlie said to go look into the park. I headed into the park, intent on finding her. And I did.

            I also got the shock of my life. And my heart was ripped out of my chest, shredded to pieces, and shoved back into my shocked body.

            “Juliet?”

JULIET+

            I had just finished my college classes for the day and was back at home, almost a week after I received the roses, when there was a knock on my door again. Curious, I opened the door and froze.

            “Do you always open the door to strangers?” asked someone I hadn’t seen for a long time.

            “Scott,” I said throwing my arms around him.

            “Long time, no see, apparently,” said Scott hugging me back.  “I wanna see the city, Juliet.”

            “Then come,” I replied grabbing my coat, shoes, and my cane. Together we left. I wanted to show him everything. It had been years since we saw each other last.

            I showed him the college, and then we went into the bookstore. I introduced him to Charlie.

            “What’s up, man,” said Charlie, shaking his hand, after I made the introductions.

            “Juliet is showing me around.”

            “And where is Madame Gueret,” I asked trying to peek into the back.

            “Up here,” said Madame Gueret up in the loft.

            “And this is my friend and boss, Madame Gueret,” I said, smiling broadly. Scott smiled up at her. “Madame Gueret, this is Scott.”

            “Hello,” said Madame Gueret softly.  “Juliet, show him the park.”

            “That was next. Come on, Scott,” I said taking his hand and leading him out of the shop with a wave to Charlie and Madame Gueret. I took him out to the park and sat down on a park bench as my leg started to hurt. “How are the parents?”

            “Same old, same old. They want to see you,” he said joining me on the bench. I shook my head.

            “Later. Much later,” I said. “Then I will go back home.”

            “Okay,” he said. I tugged him down to where I could look into his eyes.

            “Scott, I have missed you so much,” I said leaning up and kissing his forehead. When I leaned back, I noticed someone very familiar over his shoulder. I stood up. “Wil?”

            “Who is that?”
            “It’s Wil,” I whispered heading for Wil. As I got closer, I became more confused. He just stared at me, white as a ghost. “Wil.”

            “So…did you wait?”

            “For you? I’ve waited all my life,” I said truthfully, but I was confused when he narrowed his eyes at me.

            “Then who’s that? A new boyfriend, maybe? You did not wait for me and this is how you repay me,” he hissed at me. I started to speak, but he interrupted me. “I don’t want to hear your excuses. I waited and I wish that you did too, you fucking crippled child.”

            Wil turned and walked away.

            “Wil!” I shouted after him. “Please let me explain,” I cried. He did nothing, but walk away from me. “Wil!” I shouted again. He didn’t even acknowledge that I even existed and continued walking away. “Wil!...Wil!...Wil!”

            “Oh,” he said turning back to face me. He tossed back something to me, and then started back in the direction he was going. I picked up the gray color rock I thought I had lost a long time ago.

            “Wil! Wil!...”

            As I continued to shout, he walked farther and farther away. I didn’t realize that I was crying until my voice was almost gone.

            “Juliet, are you okay?” I heard vaguely heard Scott ask.

            “Wil,” I whispered. “He’s my brother.”

WIL+

            I walked back to the bus in a red haze. How dare her! I thought stormily. She was cheating on me! I wonder how long it took her to get another boyfriend? A day? A week?

            I savagely pushed the thoughts away as I boarded the bus again.

            “Back so soon? Banging her must be quick,” said Nick. I snarled at him. “Oh, sorry!...You okay?”

            “I’m fine,” I said pulling my notebook from between the cushions and opening it to the pages to the songs that I had written for and about Juliet. When I found them, I started to rip out the pages.

            “What are you doing?” asked Nick.

            “What does it look like?”

            “Flippin’ out,” commented Jake.

            “Where’s Juliet?” asked Troy sticking his head into the bus. I snarled at him.

            “Don’t ever say her name around me ever again.” With that, I left the bus to clear my thoughts and get my life back to where it is suppose to be.

Nick looked at Angel.

            “Something’s up.”

            “No, something happened between Wil and Juliet. And I intend to find out,” said Angel standing up. He bent down and picked up the fallen papers. He sorted through the ripped paper trying to find the song that he had read Wil had written for Juliet. “Dakota, pull up the note that Wil wrote and pull it. I want it printed, and then give it to me. Okay?”

            “Sure,” said Dakota, leaving.

            “What are you going to do?” asked Bun.

            “We’re going to do all that we can,” said Nick as they left the bus. “I’ll get Juliet. Wil listens more to you, than me.”

            “Maybe not after this,” said Angel handing Nick the song. “Good luck.”

            “You need it more than I do,” said Nick as they went their separate ways.

JULIET+

            I was sitting in a chair staring blindly out the window, numb as you could possible get and my heart as hard as stone. Scott was in the kitchen fixing food for me. There was a knock on the door, but I barely heard it.

            “Do you want me to answer it?” asked Scott entering the room where I was sitting. I waved for him to do whatever he wished. He opened the door and let the person in. “It’s for you, Juliet.”

            “Hello,” said Nick coming around to my side. I stared at him, but I couldn’t find the strength or the will to reply.

            “I’ll be in the kitchen,” said Scott slipping away.

            “Why are you here?” I asked softy as my voice was almost gone.

            “To know what happened.” I was silent for a moment, staring down Nick, as if to see if he was really telling the truth. I gave in, trusting him.

            “My brother and I were talking in the park when Wil came upon us. I never told him about my family. That I had a brother, a mother, and a father- who actually miss me. Amazing what time and space can do.”

            “They didn’t love you?”

            “Oh, they loved me. In their own way,” I said picking at the strings in the blanket that covered my legs. “It was never the same after the…accident.”

            With that reminder, I remembered the words Wil threw back in my face along with much contempt and along with the rock. I grimaced.

            “Is that all?” said Nick quietly.

            “Yes,” I hissed. “Please go, Nick. There is nothing you can do.”

            “He still loves you, Juliet. Time is all he needs,” said Nick handing me a piece of torn paper and getting to his feet.

            “Tell him this…His words are well heeded. Especially the insult of me being a ‘fucking crippled child’. Tell him that,” I said. I didn’t notice the expression Nick had on his face as I was already staring blindly out the window again. Nick put his phone number down on a piece of paper and left it on the table that held the slightly wilting roses- except one. He left, feeling extremely disheartened.

            When Nick returned to the bus, he wasn’t the only one who was disheartened, but also looking worse than Nick.

            “What happened to you?” asked Nick upon seeing Angel bruised cheek.

            “One of Wil’s stray punches,” said Angel wincing as he touched his now bruised cheeks. “How was your effort?”

            “I found why, but Wil didn’t want to listen to anything, didn’t he?”

            “Yep.”

            “The guy was her brother. Time is the only thing that is going to help them,” said Angel. They were silent as Wil came into the bus. “By the way, Wil, she has taken your words to heart. Especially the words ‘fucking crippled child’.”

            “What!” said Angel looking at Wil in shock. Wil said nothing but disappeared into the back part of the bus. Everyone stared at Nick.

“It’s what he said. Juliet told me verbatim,” said Nick. Dakota handed Angel the note from the internet. Everyone was in silent shock.

“Tell everyone who knows Juliet. Tell them…Tell them, that her name is never to be mentioned again. But I want the cd to still go in her name,” said Angel.

            “I agree,” said Bun. Jake nodded mutely. Nick smiled, praying that this time wouldn’t last too long.

Chapter 3

JULIET+

            I woke up to the phone. I leaned over and picked it up.

            “Hello?” I asked groggily.

            “Hi. Are you even awake?” said Wil on the other side.

            “No. How did you get this number, Wil?

            “I have ways.”

            “Now you are officially creepy.”

            “The phone book. I saw that your last name is Andrews and you are the only Juliet Andrews in the phone book.”

            “That’s lovely. I’ll see you in a while. I’ll meet you outside the bookstore at eleven o’clock, ‘kay.”

            “Sure,” he said sounding extremely excited.

            “Good,” I said rolling over and hanging up the phone. I groaned into my pillow, now awake. I glanced at the clock. It was just after nine. I rolled up to sit on the edge of the bed. My nightgown was long and definitely not see through. I grabbed my container of lotion and put some on my scars- my pitiful attempt to get rid of them. I changed into long pants, a long sleeve shirt- regardless of the heat and humidity here, and my fingerless gloves that I always wore since my left hand has many scars on it too. I left the house and went to my scheduled therapy session as I did every morning.

            I made it to the bookshop fifteen minutes late, but I found no one there, so I went in.

            “Hello, Charlie,” I said to my friend who sat at the counter.

            “What’s up, Juliet.”

            “Anyone interesting come in today?”

            “Nope. Boring day.”

            “Every day is not a boring day,” said Madame Gueret coming into the conversation.

            “And you have your hands in something that has to do with me,” I said.

            “What?” said Madame Gueret innocently.

            “Ha! How did the guy find out that I was in the park, unless someone told him and you are the only one who knows that I go to the park when I’m mad or angry…”

            “Now I do too,” said Charlie.’

            “Shut up, man. And he found my number in the phone book and my number is unlisted. He knows my last name, saying he just saw it. And I wonder how he did see it?”

            “Well, maybe I did have to do something with it. I tampered with it- just a little,” said Madame Gueret, smiling guiltily.

            “You know the last time you tampered with fate.”

            “Ah…yes.”

            “Yeah, that little love fest turned into one of the nastiest divorces within the state of Louisiana. I really don’t want to end up like that,” I said.

            “I just gave it all a little push. I will not do anything else.”

            “Promise.”

            “I promise,” said Madame Gueret.

            “Good,” I said noticing Wil outside. “Later, you two.”

            “Have fun, my dear,” Madame Gueret called out after me.

            “You did something already, haven’t you,” said Charlie.

            “I’m afraid so,” said Madame Gueret her guilty smile turning conspiratorial.

            I walked out of the bookstore and approached Wil from behind him.

            “Hi,” I said. Wil spun around.

            “Good. I thought I missed you,” said Wil, sounding relieved.

            “No. I was also late as well. I was just talking to some friends,” I said.

            “Oh. Now you said that you were going to show me the city,” said Wil getting excited. 

            “Okay. Well, you’ve already been to the park.”

            “In the middle of the night.”

            “Fine. Come on,” I said taking his hand and walking him to the park. We wandered around the park. Wil got extremely excited when he saw the playground. He ran over to the slide and slide down backwards. I laughed my gut out. I found that he made me laugh even when I didn’t feel I wanted to. He was off the wall and acted like the world was his playground.

            “You have to try it,” said Wil running up to me.

            “No! My knee.”

            “Come on,” he said helping me up to the top of the slide. I was laughing so hard that I could barely even stand on my own. I sat down at the top of the slide.  “Wait, wait, wait!”

            He ran down to the bottom, holding my cane in his hand. I slid down and straight into his arms. I slipped away, taking my cane with me. We were silent for a moment.

            “Are you hungry,” I asked suddenly realizing what time it actually was.

            “Yeah.”

            “Come, I’ll take you to a place where they serve authentic New Orleans food,” I said heading across the park.

            “Hold on. Jump on my back,” he said getting in front of me and crouching down so that I could easily get on. I slipped onto his back and placed my cane to the front of him so that it wouldn’t be in the way. “Where are we going?”

            “Straight ahead. I’ll tell you when to turn,” I commanded pointing ahead. Wil started running in that direction. By the time we reached the sidewalk, I was laughing so hard I had a stomach ache. “Stop, Wil!”

            “All right,” said Wil stopping on the sidewalk. People started giving us weird looks, making me laugh even harder. “Why are you laughing?”

            “Everyone is giving us weird looks and some of them are hilarious,” I replied actually having fun on a date- that is if you call this a date because it is neither in both sense of the word. “Go left.” He went left. “See that alleyway to our right…”

            “Yeah.”

            “Go down that alleyway.” I made Wil go all over the place, getting him thoroughly lost, but I knew exactly where I was. “See that house in front of us. Go to the front door.” Wil took me to the front door. I slipped off his back and knocked on the door. A window opened up to reveal dark brown eyes.

            “Who is it?”

            “Juliet.”

            “Password.”

            “Password? Since when did Marco implement a bloody password?”

            “Lately.”

            “Well, I don’t give a flying fuck. You know who I am, Puablo,” I said.

            “Hi, Juliet,” said Puablo before closing the window. I turned to Wil.

            “Marco is paranoid,” I said as the door opened. I hugged Puablo and walked in.

            “Who’s there,” boomed a big voice from the kitchen.

            “Juliet…And a friend.”

            “A friend,” said Marco coming from the kitchen, his big voice overpowering the light music that played. None of the patrons that were inside noticed as it was a normal thing for Marco to be yelling at the top of his lungs.

            “Yes. Table for two, Puablo,” I said.

            “This way,” said Puablo leading me and Wil to a table in front of a bay window that overlooked the Mississippi River that ran through the city. “I’ll be back in just a moment.”

            “Wow,” said Wil looking around.

            “A friend of mine showed me this place. I’ve been here often, as you can tell,” I said waving to Marco, who was staring at us.

            “Yeah.”

            “This place is the biggest secret of New Orleans,” I said perusing the menu Puablo left with us. “Marco is a big baby and Puablo is his partner.”

            “So that’s why he was staring at my ass and not yours,” comment Wil. I was suddenly glad for the low lighting so that he didn’t see my flaming red cheeks.

            “Ah…” I said unsure who to answer.

            “So there is hope still left out there. Finally,” I heard Marco comment before going into the kitchen. Wil looked at me.

            “They’re both saps for a good love story,” I said. “Matchmakers to the bottom of both their hearts. I usually come alone.”

            “Ah,” said Wil. I wanted to smack my self black and blue. Why did I just say that, I thought hoping the floor would open up and eat me- whole. I always said too much- a problem guys always hated: A woman who loved the sound of her own voice.

            “So…you sing, write songs, what else do you do,” I said trying to learn all I could from the fascinating man that sat across from me.

            “I play the piano, guitar, bass, and a few other things. I like meeting new people, which is very good in my line of work,” said Wil closing his menu and took mine to place on top of his. He stared at me across the table. “And what do you do other than work at the bookstore?”

            “Try to survive,” I said softly. My knee started to hurt, but it would be awkward to rub it in a public place because it would look like I was feeling myself when I really wasn’t.

            “Are you in college?”

            “Yeah. I’m trying to get my AA in business, so I can help Madame Gueret.”

            “Tell me about…Madame Gueret?”

            “She’s the owner of the bookstore and dabbles with fate on occasion,” I said trying to sum up my best friend in a few words, which is incredibly hard to do.

            “Dabbles with fate?”

            “She’s a witch…of sorts. She’s not really into it all anymore, but she keeps her book of spells handy though,” I said as Puablo approached our table.

            “What would you like to drink tonight?”

            “Normal,” I said.

            “A mountain dew,” said Wil, a little unsure of what to do in a place like this.

            “Then two mountain dew’s it is,” said Puablo walking away.

            “They don’t care if you drink or not,” I said, shifting to try to relieve the pain in my leg. “I drink on occasion.”

            “Oh…” said Wil, looking acutely embarrassed. I smiled at him. Puablo came back quickly with two tall glasses of dew and a smaller tumbler filled with a clear liquid.

            “Here you are,” said Puablo sitting the glasses down. He placed the tumbler in front of me. “And I’m thinking you need this.” He walked away.

            “What the hell…” I said smelling the tumbler. “If I drink this like it is, I’ll be dead drunk by the time I finish it.”

            “What is it?”

            “Straight up vodka,” I said pouring the vodka into my dew.

            “Why do you need vodka?”

            “My knee.”

            “Are you going to tell me what happened to you?”

            “Maybe,” I said avoiding the inevitable for later. Puablo came back for our orders. When he left, Wil was silent and I was too, unsure of how to proceed in an awkward moment like this. I didn’t know what to do as I have never had a boyfriend, gone on a date, or anything in any similar shape and form before in my entire life, so I am way out of my league at the moment. We were still quiet when our food arrived and we ate in silence. I was hoping someone would interrupt us and this tension would be broken.

            “You know, I have no idea what to say right now,” I said going out on a limb- metaphorically speaking, of course.

            “You don’t have to say anything at all,” said Wil softly. I nearly melted into the chair. We talked about absolutely nothing of importance during the rest of the dinner.

            Afterwards, I got up and left faster than I normally would as I could feel nothing from my neck down and my head was in the clouds. I started down the street.

            “Juliet, where are we going?” asked Wil following me.

            “New Orleans is very fascinating after dark and you said you like Anne Rice, right?”

            “Yeah.”

            “All right then,” I said pulling him after me. I wanted to take him to a place I found not even a week after I lived here- and not by accident. I loved reading Anne Rice too. I walked down the street holding onto my cane with one hand and his hand with my other, forcing myself not to hum happily.  “You know the life of New Orleans comes out when it gets dark.”

            “Fascinating,” said Wil as I took him by a graveyard. “Hop the fence.”

            “What!”
            “Hop the fence,” I said. “Technically we’re not supposed to be here after dark.”

            “Okay,” said Wil, hopping over the fence. “Here.” He helped me over the fence.

            “This way,” I said leading him deep into the cemetery. “We are in the St. Louis Cemetery. Close by to Anne Rice and Trent Reznor. Of which, they are not here at the moment.” 

            “Yeah,” said Wil trying to hold back a laugh.

            “This way,” I said pulling him through the narrow streets. I knew the dangers of these places, having come here alone often- to think. I have seen many things happen in these shadows, such as muggings, a kidnapping (though I didn’t know it at the moment. That was a big mess that happened like a month after I arrived here and a pain in the ass to clean up.), stuff like that. Even though I am half drunk out of my mind, I still watched the shadows.  I stopped by a specific tomb.

            “Why are we here?”

            “This is the designated tomb of the vampire Lestat,” I said, shifting the voodoo coins and little presents left at the site with my foot. People were always leaving stuff here. 

            “Are you serious?”

            “Yep. This is an interesting place to visit and don’t come alone because you’re an open target,” I said letting go of his hand and tipping back to stare at the sky above.

            “You really need to slow down or you’re going to kill your self,” said Wil leaning back up.

            “Puablo gave me vodka and I do know why,” I said starting to walk around Wil. “And, I have a confession to make…”

            “What,” said Wil turning around to keep me in his sight.

            “I like you- a lot. And I don’t know why. Do you know why?” I said starting to skip around him, making a bog circle. Wil said nothing. Pain shot up from my knee, making reality hit me like a ton of bricks to the head. I hit the ground on my ass, my head clear of all the cobwebs that come when I get hard liquor in my system.  I sucked in a deep breath, trying to level my over shocked system.  

            “Are you okay?” said Wil crouching down next to me.

            “My knee,” I rasped out, clutching my knee (like that helps relieve any pain, that concept is beyond me.). “Fuck.”

            “Here,” said Wil picking me off of the ground and setting me on a nearby tomb that was the perfect height for me to be exactly face to face with him.

            “Fuck,” I chanted like a mantra.

            “May I?” said Wil holding on the edge of my pant’s leg. I nodded, trying to get rid of the pain. He slowly left my pant’s leg up and over my knee, revealing the mangled mess of scars that covered my knee. “Damn, girl.”

            “It was a mistake. I was out over a creek by my house. It was fast because of some snow and rain and bloody cold. I was out on a branch over it and the branch broke. I fell in. My knee got caught between two hard, immovable objects and it was crushed. I was in the water too long so I have some nerve damage and have a permanent blue tinge to my fingers and toes. My hand was mangled somehow, but I don’t know how. That’s why I wear the gloves. I found out later that it was my neighbor that pulled me out. He was a first responder for the fire department.  My memory has always been a little fuzzy during that time. Two years later, I’m still in physical therapy and can’t really walk,” I said leaning back. I have no idea what he was doing, but it felt really good. I love the feel of his hands. “What ever you are doing…don’t stop.”

            “All right,” said Wil, with a sly smile. “Tell me something.”

            “What?”

            “What is it with you and colors?”

            “Colors?”

            “Yeah.”

            “I have no idea what you are talking about,” I said leaning up to look at him.

            “Nevermind then,” he said still rubbing my leg. I leaned back again. “Thank you for telling me.”

            “Telling you what?”         

            “What happened to you. I’m glad that now I know, so I won’t act like a fool again.”

            “Since when have you been a fool? I was just drunk and spouted off random things to you.”

            “When I first really met you. I accused you of being crippled in front of a crowd.”

            “Well, you didn’t do it on stage.”

            “Close enough though.”

            “Yeah…” I said remembering it vividly. It was the first time that I really saw him. I sat up to look at him.

            “I’m sorry,” he said pulling off my left glove. “I’m so sorry.” He pressed a kiss to one of the scars on my hand. A gasp escaped past my lips. “I’m sorry.” He kissed another scar. He kissed every scar, then he started again; all the while saying he was sorry.

            “Wil,” I said stopping him. I took his beautiful face in my hands, forcing him to look at me. “I forgive you.”

            I pressed my lips to his, hoping that the kiss that we shared the night before was only a preamble. He quickly took the lead, taking me to a place I didn’t know it even existed. I saw fireworks and felt the heat. There was nothing cool about this sexy man.

WIL+

            With my lips still against hers, I lifted her off of the tomb and lightly set her on the ground. I leaned back, breaking the kiss so that I could grab her cane that was lying on the ground. She gasped when she put her full weight on her leg. I handed her the cane, then picked her up.

            “Wil,” she gasped.

            “I’m fine. You’re actually really light,” I said. In actuality, she was light, not like super light, but light enough that I wouldn’t kill my back.

            I walked all the way to her house and up to her front door. It was like carrying equipment, but this was way better. All the while she played with the ends of my hair. I didn’t realize how much of a turn on it was until now.

            “Thank you,” she said as I set her down in front of the door. She unlocked it.

            “I should be thanking you,” I said as she opened the door a crack. I could see in, but I couldn’t see much of inside. 

            “Why?” said Juliet facing me. I stared down at the face that people would consider cute and nothing more, but for some reason I loved it. I loved the way her blue eyes dominated her face and her lips shiny from my kisses.

            “Because you took me around New Orleans and showed me places that I would have never gone.”

            “Oh, please. I took you to the park, dinner, and a graveyard. That’s it. And half of that time I was drunk,” she said with a laugh.

            “Well, I never would have experienced these things if it wasn’t for you.”

            “Push over,” she said grinning as she turned on some lights behind her, outlining her body. I just wanted to take her here and now. I really need to take my over heating body and just leave.  

            “I better be going,” I said gruffly.

            “Why?” she asked softly.

            “Because tomorrow evening we leave.”

            “That’s makes this night exceptionally special,” said Juliet, taking my hand and leading me into her house.

            “Juliet, if I stay any longer, then I cannot guarantee I will make it out before morning,” I groaned.

            “Who says that I want you to leave until morning,” she said putting her cane to the side.

            “What are you saying, Juliet?”

            “I am saying that I want you to stay…I am saying that I want you,” she said. I smiled wickedly just before I kissed her with all the passion that I had been holding in since I saw her come out of the bookstore this morning. She moaned into my mouth.

            That night she took me to heaven.

Chapter 4

JULIET+

            When I woke up, I found myself alone. I turned over to his side and wanted to weep my heart out, suddenly feeling used as it seemed that to him it was only a one night stand, but my hand brushed against something on the pillow. I sat up, taking what was on it, and opened the note that was left on the pillow.

            You took me to heaven.

            It was all that it said. I grinned to myself and sat up. I found myself incredibly tender, but very much alive. I went through my daily routine in the morning, but I called my therapist and cancelled my appointment. I called Madame Gueret and took a rare sick day. Then I left for the park. This was their last day here in New Orleans. They had a full day of concerts, then they were leaving around nine in the evening. So I had a full day to do whatever I liked to them. I walked up to the back and was immediately let through. I avoided the stages so that none of them saw me go into the back.

I found their bus, but it was impossible to see inside as the windows were incredibly high off of the ground. A noise inside caught my attention, so I knocked on the door.

“Hi,” I said when a guy opened the door. He looked almost like Bun, but not exactly.

“Hi. You must be Juliet.”

“That I am.”

“I’m Troy. The merchandise guy.”

“Oh. You look like one of the guys.”

“I’m Jake Wambold’s brother. Did you need something?”

“I was wondering if you can keep the guys away from the bus for a while.”

“Yeah. Why?”

“I want to clean the bus and their clothes.”

“Everybody’s?”

“Yeah.”

“How bout this, I help because I don’t have to be out for a while.”

“That would be awesome,” I said. “And you can get rid of the ‘other stuff’.”

“Other stuff,” he asked confused, and then it dawned on him. The bad magazines and the like. “Oh! Yeah, I will.”  

“Then let’s get started,” I said entering the bus. Troy disappeared into the back as I started on the front. Within an hour, we had all their clothes loaded up onto the back of the golf cart, and the bus’ windows wide open. I hopped onto the gold cart and waited for Troy to close up the bus. When he got on, I drove to the nearest Laundromat. We used every washer and drier to get everything done quickly. During the time that we were there, Troy regaled me with stories about the guys. Some were so funny that Troy had a hard time even telling the story.

When we got back to the bus, Troy vacuumed and dusted as I repacked their clothes.  Unexpectedly the door opened. Both of us froze. Dakota walked in.

“Holy shit, man,” I said breathing out the breath that I was holding in.

“Huh? Why are you here,” he asked me.

“We’re cleaning the bus,” said Troy excitedly. I shook my head, smiling. Dakota looked at me.

“I wanted to clean the bus for them. Could you do something for us?”

“Sure.”

“Can you call Troy when they’re coming back here, so that I can hide?”

“I can do that,” said Dakota grabbing what he needed and leaving. “By the way, the bus looks great, you two.”

“Thanks,” said Troy even more happily. I smiled at Troy and went back to work. He was such a loveable idiot. A few hours later, Troy got a phone call. “Okay. Thanks.”

“Who was that?” I asked putting down the towel that I was using to dry dishes with.

“Hide,” said Troy pulling me into the back. We had finished the major stuff by that time- including washing the sheets on their beds and remaking them. He pushed me into the lower, closest bunk to the door and pushing me to the far back so that I slid down in a large crack between the bed and the wall. He closed the curtain and left me there. “I’ll be back,” he whispered before he closed the door that separated the back from the front. I could hear people talking in the next room, but not what they were talking about. I heard the door open and some one say.

“It smells good in here. Do you know why, Troy?”

“No. It always smells like this, Nick,” I heard Troy reply.

“Whatever,” said Nick under his breath. I held my breath until I heard the door close again. Troy came back and opened the curtain.

“They’re gone,” he said helping me out of the crack. “I have to go man the merch table.”

“That’s fine. Who was it?”

“Nick and Angel.”

“Okay. You better go, I’ll finish up here.”

Chapter 2

JULIET+

            After class and before work, I found myself back at the edge of the concert place. My ticket was only for yesterday- one lousy day pass. I started around the edge, keeping to the crowds that were nearly everywhere. I wanted to see him again. The one they called Wil. I pushed the boundaries to know where they were. I couldn’t go too far in or too close to the stage, but I was able to get to see the schedule board and know which of the four stages they were performing on. The bad thing was, they were on one of the middle stages. I looked around for an opening, but there was nothing. I started to walk away.

            “Hey! Color chick! Hey!” shouted someone. I didn’t know they were referring to me until I felt a hand on my shoulder. I stopped and turned around.

            “Yeah,” I said recognizing the guy from yesterday. Cobra was his name- if I remembered correctly.

            “I was sent out to find you. Wil saw you from the stage. Follow me,” he said leading me passed the boundaries and to a golf cart parked nearby. “Here you are, my lady.”

            “Thank you,” I said taking the title and the ride as a compliment. Cobra got in the drivers seat and started up the golf cart. “And whose idea was this?”

            “Mine.”

            “Thank you. All I know is that your name is Cobra, and I have a feeling that it is not your name,” I said as he drove us into the maze in the back. 

            “It’s Dakota, actually. Cobra is a nickname I was given by Nick,” said Dakota. “What’s yours?”

            “Juliet.”

            “As is Romeo and Juliet?”

            “Yep.”

            “Cool,” said Dakota pulling up to a large silver and purple tour bus. “Here we are.”

            “Band bus?” I said remembering that I would look up who these people were last night. Kinda got distracted.

            “Yeah. Come on,” said Dakota turning the gold cart off. I slipped off the cart and followed Dakota. I carefully walked up the step and into the bus. It smelled like old socks and clothes that were insufficiently washed. I was waved and told to sit where ever I like and that he would go get the rest of them. I nodded and sat down on the couch that on the side of the bus. I was able to see everything that went on outside the bus from my vantage point- and I found out quickly all that went on outside was not very appealing.  

            Slightly uncomfortable and bored, I got up and started to wander around the place. Almost mindlessly, I started to pick up clothes that littered the floor, put dirty dishes in the minuscule sink, and put things back where I think they went.  I had my back turned to the door when they came in, so I nearly jumped out of my skin when one of them touched my shoulder.

            “Good fucking god!” I said spinning around on my left heel.

            “Sorry,” said Dakota, having been the one to touch my shoulder.

            “Are you or are you not crippled?” accused Angel.

            “You, my good sir, need to know when to shut up and to learn rights and lefts. I have a bad right leg and I turned on my left,” I said softly. Angel looked like he swallowed his tongue. “It’s all right. Many ask about it. I merely have a good reply. Why am I here?”

            “I forgot to ask you for some vital information, like your name and all that,” said Wil.

            “Ah, yes. It would seem unfair that I know a lot about you and you know nothing of who I am,” I said.  “My name is Juliet. If that is all you require, then our conversation is at an end. Farewell.”

            With that, I existed the bus with my head high. I smiled to myself. I had gotten close enough to him to see that his eyes were a beautiful hazel. It did say hazel on his driver’s license, but it left out the fact that they were such a gorgeous color.

WIL+

            When I saw her, or rather the back of her, my imagination took over. I barely remembered what I needed her for other than pushing her back into the back of the bus, bar the guys from back there, and bang her good. And when she spoke, I had to bite my tongue from shoving it down her throat.

            “Wil, she’s leaving,” whispered Troy in my ear. I gave him an odd look and headed after her, but not before punching Nick in the arm because of the banging comment he made the night before. I can’t stop thinking about it. Damn, Nick, you got my mind in the gutter once again, I thought as I ran after her.

            “Hey, Juliet, wait,” I yelled after her. She stopped walking and waited for me to join her. “I actually wanted to talk to you alone and not with my friends eavesdropping.”

            “Like they are doing now?” she asked pointing over her shoulder. I looked back to see all my friends following us (and Troy had the camera.). I waved at them to make them go away. Dakota got the message first and got everyone to move in a different direction- away.

            “Sorry about that.”

            “You just keep apologizing for everything, don’t you,” she said with laughter in her voice. I opened my mouth to explain. “It’s fine. You don’t have to any more.”

            “Yah!... So how old are you?” I asked noticing that her eyes were a bluish grey color.

            “I’m younger than you.”

            “Come on.”

            “I’m twenty. Did you really see you from the stage?”

            “Who told you that?”

            “Dakota.”

            “Yeah, I did. I sent Dakota after you.”

            “He got me.”

            “With the golf cart?”

            “Yeah. He’s cool.”

            “And that’s why he’s our band manager.”

            “This is a pointless conversation. I’m not very interesting, so let’s stop this…before it goes any further. I’m glad that I met you, but this is as far as it goes,” she said facing me. It took all my will power not to run after her. Slowly I returned to the bus.

            “Have a good conversation that was extremely short,” teased Bun.

            “Shut up,” I said sitting down on the couch and pulling out the notebook that I had almost filled with songs or poems- it depends on how you’re looking at it. I found an empty spot between a song and a random scrawl drawing and started to write what was on my mind.

            A few hours (and songs later) I put the notebook back between the cushions of the couch and stood up. Everyone was occupied with what they were doing, so they didn’t notice that I went to bed. Sleep came quickly, but with it were the dreams. My dreams were filled with a woman named Juliet and had sad grey eyes.

            I awoke with a start, with my ravaged body begging for sleep, but my mind refusing to turn off. I got up any way and walked out to the front part of the bus. Nick was sleeping, Troy was watching his video, Bun and Jake were gone, Angel was watching a movie, and Dakota was playing solitaire on the computer. I left the bus, with a general saying that I was going to be back that no one acknowledged (typical.), and headed for her house.

            I knocked on her door and waited.

            “Hold a fucking minute,” I heard her say on the other side of the door as she unlocked and opened it. “What do you want? And how did you find my house?”

            “I have my ways.”

            “You’re just creepy,” she said leaning against the doorframe. “What do you want?”

            “I was wondering if you felt the same as I did,” I asked.

            “What are you talking about, Mr. Francis?”

            “Wil.”

            “Wil…”

            “Do you not feel it?”

            “Feel what?”

            “This,” said Wil pulling her into his arms and kissing her like he wanted to since she stood up to him. It was a kiss of raw passion and of heat. Juliet’s lips opened in surprise and I took the opportunity to feel the contours of her mouth. She tasted of honey and woman. I didn’t want to stop, but the ability of not being able to breathe forced me to pull back.

            “Why…”

            “Shh,” I said kissing her once again. When I pulled back, her eyes were half closed and she was breathing hard. “I’ll be back tomorrow.”

            “Why?”

            “To see you.”

            “And I will show you this city.”

            “Good,” I replied kissing her one more time and leaving. I went back to the bus, smiling.

            “Why are you smiling like that?” asked Angel.

            “Because I can get her out of my system tomorrow. By the way, tomorrow is our free day and I’m spending it with her.”

            “You’re so weird,” said Dakota passing by me. I went back to my bed and went to sleep, happy.

disclaimer: always the same.

update: chapter three is giving me problems, so it's going to be a little while before it is up.
