The first thing I did in the next day was to land my hand on my neck. The necklace was still there, I never got it off. I quickly laid back and closed my eyes again. Oh shit, it wasn't a dream! I really had made out with Rev and, thanks to my great liquor-resistant memory, I could happily remember every single kiss we've shared. Now I was sure I would see him again, that crucifix was my warranty.

I practically jumped out of my bed and I was suddenly jolted by a severe headache. I guess I could call it the best hangover of my life.
I slowed down my pace and went out of my bedroom looking for some aspirin and something to eat, my stomach had suffered enough last night. Luckily, I found stale bread and one last pill. Hm, that was suitable...

"Hey, Jess!! Are you in there?" I called out for my best friend and roommate and there was no answer. Then I heard a noise coming from the front door and there she was, with a lot of packages and some letters in her hand.

"I went to buy some food, our stock was empty. Ems, what time did you get home yesterday? I've stayed awake here waiting for you till 3 AM, bitch! And how was the show I always wanted to go but never had the chance?" she asked in accelerated pace and I could barely stand her high pitch voice, my head was killing me. She threw out of her sight all those food packages and let they fall on the table, where I was silently eating my only and old bread.

"Don't even start with your cross-examination on me, J. I have a headache, ok?" I looked at her with lazy eyes but couldn't wait to tell her the big news. "And can you just talk in a lower tone, please?"

"Oh yeah? Drinking again, ham? You are incapable of learning with your previous experiences, aren't you?" and there she goes, playing the annoying mother on me all over again. Typical. I shrugged and rolled my eyes.

"But thanks to that devil's booze, you're not gonna believe what happened to me yesterday..."

"Oh shit, you've got mugged or worse? I knew I should've gone with you. But you made it to the concert, at least, right?" Jess got all worried, her face went pale.

"No, I didn't, actually. But it was for the best..."

"What are you talking about? You've been saving money for this since I've met you and you...DIDN'T GET IN?? What have you done this time, smoked the tickets?" she laughed in derision.

"Well, let me explain. I had drunk a little too much and got sick on that fucking claustrophobic place, then I really had to get out of there, otherwise I was gonna faint. So I did it, I got out and started vomiting all over the street while I could hear them playing from outside, I was devastated. The lame part is over, I promise."

"I wonder what's the not-so-lame part..." then it was her turn to roll her big gray eyes.

"You can't even imagine what happened next..." I gave her my best post-hangover smile and sighed before telling her. "I made out with The Rev!" my smile grew widely as she didn't outline a single emotion.

"What? You've made out with his exact counterpart, I assume? And after getting sick? You're sicker than I thought..." she let out a disgusting look at me and began unpacking the stuff.

"No, it was the one and only, the original. He even took me to his place, he lives around here at some street that I can't remember the name right now. But after I finish my horrible breakfast, I will go find his house promptly!" I said it sure of myself.

"Oh shit, not again. My dear, have you been blending alcohol with drugs again??? I can't believe it, so young and losing your mind already!" she showed her most evil laugh and continued to store the things in the kitchen. You know what, I was getting really pissed off by her ironical behave towards me! "The Rev..." she laughed hard again.

"I was high on some H but it doesn't matter! What matters is that after the show, he heard me complaining about losing the concert and when I noticed, I was in his couch making out with him. He was so gentle even when I refused to have sex with him...So, if you're incapable of believing in your best friend, well, there's just nothing I can do!"

"What? You refused to what?" she almost dropped the glass she was holding, glimpsing abruptly to me. "Oh my gosh, the alcohol have already consumed the few neurons you still had left. And you should stop talking shit and go to work, you're getting late, it's almost 1:30! Get back to the real life, won't ya!"

"You have to stop being such an ass to me and look at this!!!" I went to the kitchen and rubbed the crucifix at her face. If she didn't believe me now... "It's his favorite, you know that! He gave it to me as an assurance I would see him again. And he asked me to keep an eye on the mailbox." I left her alone in the kitchen with her jaw-dropping perplexity while I was heading towards the living room table, where Jess had put on the letters from the mailbox earlier.

"Of course, Emily, and Zacky is just coming here to ask me to marry him and...well, he's bringing Gates along for us to do a threesome, cause, you know, Zacky wants to try it out before we get married and everything..." she was still yammering and yammering absentmindedly when it was my turn to have my jaw dropped.

"Jess, come over here, NOW!" amongst the stack of bills I found an envelope with just my name handwritten in the front. I froze instantly before creating courage to open it.

Jessica came along and started trading glances between my eyes and the letter in my hands, trying to understand what was happening. And then, we both had astonishing features on our faces when I pushed the content out of the cover.

There it was!

"BACKSTAGE ACCESS????" we both shouted at the same time.

"Get out of here!!!" Jess smile was falling out of her face. Now she believed me, right?

"And, guess what, there are two tickets for their next gig too! It seems like you've got lucky too somehow!" we went so excited we've started bouncing up and down until we went out of breath. Damn, he could make promises!!!

And just after we calmed ourselves I was able to notice a tiny foot note on the back of one ticket: "missing u already, Rev."

I didn't show it to Jess but I made sure she would end up with the other ticket. That one was exclusive mine!
As my heart was starting to slow down I went to get ready for work. My shift at the music store would begin at 2 PM. Guess I won't be looking for Jimmy's place today, unfortunately…
