Can we create something beautiful?

Where the hell are they?? I looked around the lobby steadily growing angry. Jaime, My best friend, was sitting down munching on a sub. "Dude just relax, you know those two are always late. They probably got caught up with some strippers or something" I shot him a real pissed off look. "This is their job though, do they not realize that...never mind" Jaime looked at me then at the door, probably hoping that for Tony and Mike's sake that they're gonna walk through any minute. "They do take the band seriously, you know this. Partying is just who they are" I opened my mouth to protest but instead, Tony cut me off. "Sorry we're late dude, we had a little situation we had to handle" Mike came in soon after with a box of donuts. "Save the excuses guys, I told you guys to meet me at the studio at 10, it is now 3 am. What the actual fuck is the point of making a plan if you guys aren't gonna stick to it" Mike sat down beside Jaime. "No dude chill, you really don't get it. We had to take these girls to the hospital" I turned my attention to him. "Okay I dont wanna know about you guys hookin up with strippers.." Tony grabbed the donuts then headed or the elevator. Mike face palmed himself. "No dude, We actually had to take these girls to the hospital. We went to go chill with some people and these guys were beating up this chick, so we broke it up then the girl was like "Help my sister is in there, they're hurting her" so we busted down the door. the pigs were gang raping another chick" I stared at him wide eyed. "Oh...shit..dude, im sorry man. I didn't think you were serious" Mike showed me his fists, they were swollen and bruised. "It's cool, the girls are okay, we dropped them off then came here" We got into the studio, Tony was already tuning his guitar. I patted his shoulder. "My bad dude" He shrugged silently acknowledging my apology. I picked up my guitar starting to strum a rhythm stuck in my head. Mike sat by the drums looking at his notes that we wrote down last session. "So what's the plan Vic?" I kept strumming ignoring him. "Vic!" I kept strumming. I wonder what i can do with this melody stuck in my head. Where did it come from? A paper ball came flying at my head. "Hey dick, I'm talking to you" I snapped back into reality. "Whaaat?" Mike chuckled. "You keep strumming the same tune over and over again" I took out my phone and looked at the time. "Urgh we'll just come back tomorrow " Tony and Mike headed out as soon as i finished the sentence. "Hey don't stay in here too long dude" Jaime patted my shoulder yawning. "Yeah i wont, I'm just gonna get somethings off my chest" I kept my eyes on my phone. I don't know anymore, Sometimes i feel like I'm just burned out. It's just bumming me out lately. "Don't call Abbey either" Those words ran through me so hard. "What makes you think I'm gonna do that?" How did he know I was thinking about her? "Because you stare at your phone for hours until you call her, crawling back into her evil clutches. Or at least until she calls you" I threw my phone down. Is it really that obvious? is it really like that? Why can't we just have a simple normal relationship. No she keeps playing games with me and being trivial. "Don't let her control you dude" He walked out closing the door. I just sat there staring at the phone. No Jaime is right, I don't need to be crawling back to her.Fuck her. I picked up my guitar. I knocked out a few lines then looked at the time. It's almost 5 in the morning, I should go ahead and leave. I stood up shutting down everything.I started for the elevator when my phone rang. I looked at it. Abbey. Fuck...I can't do this. I ignored the call. Not right now. Abbey. This time my phone rang loudly, my heart was racing i can't ignore her. "Hello?" I rested my head on the wall. "Vic....I need you" Her voice shook like an innocent child. I was puddy in her hands."I'm on my way babe" I ran quickly down the stairs and into the parking lot. I nearly sped all the way to Cheetah's Strip Club. Why the fuck am I doing this? Again!! urgh it's like an endless cycle of sex, partying, and heart break. I pulled into the parking lot staring ahead. A tall blonde came running to the car. She carried a bag and heels in her hand. That was Abbey. She's just getting off work. "Hey thank you for meeting me" she climbed in throwing her shoes into the backseat. "Yeah, not a problem. So what did you need me for?" She pulled out a compact from her purse looking at her face, "Vic I miss you baby" I rolled my eyes pulling into the road. "You're the only guy i know who loves me and puts up with everything i do" I nodded. Her fling with the bouncer didn't go so hot then. "I'm sorry I'm a bad girl" She puckered her lips to me and i couldn't resist. I kissed her. Before i knew it we were pulling over on the side of the road. She straddled me taking off her top. She eyeliner was smudged and she smelt like cheap liquor. Why was i attracted to this train wreck. Why. I unbuttoned my pants, while cupping her breasts. She lifted her skirt and of course she wasn't wearing underwear. I reached my hand around to her back lifting her slightly while she took out my dick. She positioned herself on me. I pushed the seat back staring at her breast flopping around in-front of me. Oh god. She kept bouncing in me sighing every few seconds then finally she hopped off. She put my junk away then got back into the passenger seat. "That was awesome babe" I smiled looking over to her, I leaned in and she out her hand up. "No kisses please babe, Let's just go home" I got back on the road then looked around. "Soo umm you coming to my place?" She stuck her leg out the window. Her hair was tangled and I could tell she wanted to move back in with me. "Yeah " the drive home was completely quiet. We didn't say anything to each other.When we got to my apartment she quickly ran into the bathroom. "I'm gonna shower babe" I sat down on my bed staring at the ground. Maybe this is just how it's supposed to be. Maybe Abbey and I are meant to be. She came out 10 minutes later crawling into bed. I laid back beside her looking into her big eyes. "Abbey why do you do this to me?" She smiled placing her hand on my chest. "Because you're mine" She rolled over then fell asleep. I got up and waltzed myself into the bathroom for my shower. After that i laid down, i hardly slept i just tossed and turned.I finally gave up and wrote out some lyrics. My phone started ringing, it was Jaime. "Hey man what's up?" I looked back at Abbey asleep in the bed. "Not shit dude, just sitting here. what are you up to?" He chuckled. "Not much, just gonna head to the field to shoot around, maybe play a quick game. you in?" I sighed feeling a smile form on my face. "Yeah dude let me get dressed, I'll meet you at the field" I looked over to Abbey who was still asleep. I got up quickly then put on my basketball shorts and a tank top. She sat up, "Hey babe where are you going?" I put on my sweat band. "Uhh to go play soccer with Jaime and the guys" She got out of bed heading to the bathroom. "Urgh, okay whatever. You know he doesn't like me right?" I nodded putting my shoes on. "Yeah well you don't have the best track record with him either" She came out the bathroom in short shorts and a cropped tank top. She brushed her teeth fast and started tying up her hair. "So? I don't know why you hang out with those losers, all they do is bring you down, and talk shit about your gf like what the fuck" I grabbed my keys off the nightstand. "they're my best friends and band mates, they're like my family." She crossed her arms staring me down. "Wait for me, what the fuck, Vic" She sat in the bathroom for 2 and a half hours doing her make up. When we fianlly got the field, Jaime was bouncing the ball on his knees. Abbey walked onto the field with her heels sinking into the grass. "Oh...Hey Abbey" He looked at her then back at me. Urgh you were right dude, I'm not even gonna fake it. "Hey..Jamie" She sat down on the grass. Jaime bit his tongue so hard. "It's Jaime Abbey" She rolled her eyes putting on her sunglasses. "Whatever, like i give a flying fuck" She started filing her nails. I followed Jaime out onto the field where we passed the ball along and shot a few goals. "I knew it dude, you couldn't resist her charming essence" I ran after him trying to steal the ball. "Yeah yeah, I guess we're just meant to be" He stumbled falling over, I swiped the ball from underneath him running towards the goal. I shot and scored turning back around towards Jaime who was in shock on the floor. "You can't be serious man" I nodded extending my hand to help him up."Why are you settling? you know you can do so much better" He just doesn't get it. Abbey has been with me since day one. Granted, she is a train wreck but I'm worse. We deserve each-other. "Babe It's boring out here, can we go shopping?" Abbey called to me like a siren at sea, and of course I followed. "Yeah sure" I looked to Jaime who was already waking towards the parking lot. "You coming?" He simply shook his head walking away. I know he's disappointed in me. I know my best friend thinks I've lost my mind. Abbey got up dusting off her shorts. "Hello??" I looked at her then to Jaime. Fuck man, you just don't understand. I reached for her hand, she quickly let it go. "Hey come on I wanna hurry up and meet Katie at the mall" We got into the car and headed to the mall. Katie was a short black haired chick who thought tanning was a gift from the gods. She used to date Tony but they broke up. She couldn't keep her legs closed. "Hey bitch!" She ran up to Abbey hugging her tight. "Hey Baby!" She cheered. "So you and Vic are back together?" Katie flipped her hair eyeing me. "Yeah, something like that." Abbey touched up her lip gloss then looked at me. "Hey can I have like 50 bucks, I wanna buy something" I reached for my wallet then realized that I didn't have any cash. "Sorry Abbey, I don't have an cash on me" Katie rolled her eyes. "Urgh He's so broke. Abbey, you could do so much better than him" I shrugged, Whatever whore. I spun around heading towards the exit. Abbey followed behind me, "so you're leaving? that's it? You're such an Asshole Victor" I kept walking, I'm done. It's over, fuck this bullshit. "Come on Vic, you know how Katie is. She's just jealous of us" I kept walking. nope nope. "I'm Done Abbey" I got to my car and climbed in. Don't worry babe, I'll be right back before the nights over. That's just how we are.
