Burn It Down

That evening Simone and I had finished our shifts without any interference from Scott, he made some comments but we ignored him staying focused on tonight. Matt had made the comment that we were all going to go out to a bar. I smiled at this because I knew that we’d have some fun. I stood there, dressed in one of my short, tight, black dresses with my new knee high black boots, my hair up in a messy bun, make up done by Simone and man did I look fucking sexy as hell and I knew it.
Simone stood there in a short denim skirt with a Breaking Benjamin t-shirt on and converse, her hair in a pony tail and her make up done so well that you could hardly tell she was wearing any. “You look gorgeous Em, Brian’s gonna have to keep his hands in check.” She giggled, I had told her what happened with Brian and Jimmy.
I chuckled, “You’re going to have guys hitting on you all night!” I replied smiling, “You are amazing.”
She smiled and nodded, “Thanks.” We giggled with excitement as there was a knock on the door and Brian stuck his head in.
“Holy fuck,” he hurriedly closed the door behind him and pulled me too him, kissing my lips. “You look amazing.”
I laughed softly, “Simone’s the one who helped me look this great.”
“Nah, I just accented your traits, you were born looking amazing,” she replied.
“Simone, you clean up very nice,” Brian complimented her as well and quickly moved away from me as the door opened again and Matt stood there. He raised an eyebrow at Brian and I then his eyes met Simone’s and he looked like someone had shot a sedative in his ass.
“Wow, Simone…” Matt looked her over appreciatively, “You look amazing,” he finished and offered her his arm.
Simone blushed and took his arm, “Thank-you Matt, you look very nice as well.”
Brian and I chuckled from behind at the couple, subtly lacing our pinkies as we walked down the hall after them. We stayed at the back of the group walking to a bar that was nearby. I shivered slightly in the cool air and Brian instantly wrapped his leather jacket around my shoulders pulling out a cigarette and lighting up.
I smiled and pulled his coat tighter around me looking at Matt doing the same for Simone. I tilted my head watching them, “They’re adorable.” I said softly so that Brian would be the only one that could hear me before I stole his cigarette and took a drag. He looked at me stunned as I handed him the cigarette back. “What?” I asked looking at him as I blew the smoke back out.
He shook his head, “I didn’t know you smoke.” He then looked over at Matt and Simone who were now laughing whole heartedly over something Matt had said.
“I usually don’t, but I felt like taking a drag,” I replied to him smiling and leaned up kissing his cheek.
He smiled and looked back at me then finished his cigarette and threw the butt away, we rejoined hands subtly as we reached the bar letting go when Matt had looked back, my hand scratching my hip. When we entered the bar, there was a jukebox playing all the hits, there was a small dancefloor and plenty of tables. We chose a table in the back that was a circular booth. We all sat there and it went Zacky, Jimmy, Johnny, Matt, Simone, Me, then Brian. Brian and Zacky being on the ends and the waitress came up to collect orders, the guys mainly ordered jack and cokes but Jimmy ordered a round of hypnotiq and monster, Johnny ordering a round of red headed sluts, and Brian ordering a round of Jack Daniels shots. Simone and I ordered Liquid Marijuana drinks and we sat there as the guys over critiqued their show tonight.
When the drinks arrived. We each took the respective shots with the assigned toast Jimmy toasting to friends and family that we should never lie to, gee thanks for the subtlety there Jimbo. Johnny toasting to the company of beautiful sexy women. Brian toasting to us being young and living happy, healthy lives. I let out a soft moan after each shot, Brian’s hand snaking under the table stroking my thigh, gripping softly after each shot. My hands remained up on top of the table to keep Matt from suspecting anything.
I sipped on my Liquid Marijuana, “What’s that?” Zacky asked and it felt like déjà vu all over again.
“A liquid marijuana, Zacky,” I replied smiling at him knowing what was coming next.
“Can I try it?” he asked.
I laughed softly, “You’re not going to like it, you tried it on my birthday.”
“I did?” he replied, obviously not remembering.
“Yeah, you didn’t like how sweet it was,” I replied but he pouted his lower lip at me. “Alright, I warned you.” I pushed the drink over to him.
He took a sip then made a face, “Fuck that’s too sweet. Too much pineapple.”
The entire table erupted, “She tried to tell you Vee,” Brian replied to him taking my side.
Zacky pouted, “Shut up!”
I laughed and heard ‘Pornstar Dancing’ come on the jukebox then noticed Brian’s phone was out on the jukebox app. My eyes met his and he winked then asked, “Wanna dance, Little Shads?”
“Fuck yes!” I pulled him up and away from the table as we started dancing to our song.
We were soon joined by Matt and Simone who were dirty dancing as much as we were, Simone singing along with the song as much as I was. Matt seemed entranced by the blue eyed girl dancing with her ass grinding into his front.
I smiled, my arm going back and wrapping around Brian’s neck as I grinded harder into him, us moving together, and I felt him get hard in his jeans. He brought his head down next to mine, his breath right on my ear. I bit my lip, wishing I could kiss him right then and there but knew we had to behave.
Too soon in my opinion the song ended and the four of us moved back to the table, Matt and Simone completely engrossed in each other. We spent the rest of our night out drinking, talking, laughing, and conversing about everything except what we really needed to talk about.
* * * * * *
I found myself walk into the back of the bus by myself, Matt and Simone had decided to go walk the venue before we leave and Brian and the guys were outside smoking, I thought I was alone when I closed the door. Someone moved from the shadows and locked the door, “My, my, don’t you look fucking hot. You turn me on walking around like that, I knew you still wanted me,” Scott said as he walked towards me. He was obviously inebriated.
“What the fuck are you doing in here Scott? Get the fuck out,” I said moving away from him, unfortunately in this back room, there was nowhere for me to escape to as he was blocking the only way in or out that I could fit through.
Scott slowly started unbuttoning his pants and taking off his shirt, “I’m fucking my girl. What does it look like I’m doing?” He asked as he moved towards me.
“Don’t touch me!” I yelled as he moved for me. I jumped on the bed and rolled over to the other side, he clumsily fell onto the bed, as I unlocked the door and tried to pull it open he pushed into the door closing it again. “LET ME OUT!” I screamed and hit him enough to get out the door, he came after me pulling my hair holding me back against his body.
“Come on baby, it’ll be over before you know it, just close your eyes and let me in,” Scott whispered on my ear his free hand going down and starting to raise my dress.
“LEAVE ME ALONE!” I screamed out. “BRIAN!” I screamed for help and the bus door burst open and I was slammed into the wall, knocking me somewhat out of it and then pushed over someone’s bunk as Scott leaned behind me. “SOMEONE HELP!” I tried to fight against Scott but was held down by his body weight.
“GET THE FUCK OFF HER!” I heard guys yell and then Scott was ripped away from me and I was pulled into someone’s arms as I somewhat came in and out of consciousness. I remember seeing 3 guys beating the bloody pulp that was Scott.
I heard him scream bloody murder when someone kicked him in the exposed genitals and heard Matt Berry trying to talk to me as he stroked my hair. I sat there shaking as Matt and Simone came in the bus to find the scuffle.
“WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?” Matt yelled out at everyone, making everyone freeze. Johnny, Jason, Brian, Zacky, and Jimmy standing over a beaten, bloody, and unconscious Scott.
“That FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT right there was trying to RAPE your sister,” Brian yelled pointing at Scott then to me and Matt instantly cursed under his breath rushing over to me.
“Ember? Sweetheart? Can you hear me?” Mattie asked me.
“I’m sorry Mattie,” I whispered before I passed out.
