Girl I Know

“Tennessee!” I looked around after hearing my name but couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. They called out my name again and I looked around through the crowd and my eyes found Johnny standing with a girl that was about his height wearing boots and skirt with a band shirt on that I’d never heard of before.

I grabbed Casey and Savannah’s hands then dragged them through the crowd towards Johnny, “Hey Johnny.”

We all three hugged him as the girl standing next to him looked us up and down, “Where’d you find these skanks?” Her eyes bore into Casey’s glaring.

“Well, well what a nice surprise to see you here Lacey, still whoring it up?” Casey glared back.

Johnny stepped between the two, “Uhh, what’s going on here? How do you know each other?”

“I was thinking the same thing,” I looked at Casey curiously.

“Lacey used to work for me,” Casey started. “Then she started giving out drinks for free and sleeping with customers in the club. As you girls know, I don’t care who you hook up with outside of business hours, but not on my clock, and not in my club.”

Lacey tossed her annoyingly perfect honey brown hair over her shoulder, “Please you’re just jealous that I won Scott over fair and square before you had the chance.”

Johnny shook his head, “Lace you never told me you were a dancer.”

“I didn’t think it was important Johnny,” Lacey snapped at him. “Besides, Casey’s a no good lying bitch with the loosest vagina in California.”

Casey started taking off her jewelry, “I’m pretty sure I’m not the one who had sex with over 100 customers in the year you worked for me.”

“Eww, are you even clean?” I looked at Lacey square in the eyes. “I mean, you shouldn’t go around insulting people who have only been with a few guys compared to what probably 500 now?” I knew I was exaggerating, but god it was fun to piss people off.

“Johnny, aren’t you gonna say something?” Lacey asked grabbing his arm.

“Uhh, yeah, you should probably go, I’ll call you later. You don’t get to be disrespectful to my friends, especially trying to start drama and shit. You’re obviously not as mature as I thought you were,” Johnny said and stepped back from her blocking us. She let out a “hmph” and walked away and out the bar.

“Sorry about that Johnny,” Savannah was the first to apologize, she hated confrontations and felt embarrassed about the drama.

“No worries, I’m sorry that she was disrespectful to you girls,” Johnny said and grabbed a waitress ordering a round of Jack and Cokes.

“Short Shit!” Matt called to him from backstage looking at us.

“Come on, waitress will know where to find us,” Johnny motioned to the backstage area. “You’re getting the VIP treatment tonight.”

“Thanks Johnny,” Casey and I said in unison and kissed his cheeks.

“You girls look beautiful tonight by the way, did I mention that?” Johnny smirked and wrapped his arms around us and offered his arm that was wrapped around me to Savannah.

“Well, well, Short shit found some beautiful company for us tonight,” Brian smirked as he sat back on a couch messing around with his guitar. His eyes were slowly moving up and down Casey’s outfit. “Nice Tattoos.”

Casey smiled, “Thank-you sir, I like yours too.”

“TENNESSEE!” Jimmy yelled and bounced over to me and gave me a hug, “Zacky wouldn’t shut up about you after you left.”

I laughed and looked over at Zacky, “That true bright eyes? Am I gonna have to punch you out?”

Zacky blushed and gently punched Jimmy’s arm, “No, that won’t be necessary. Don’t listen to him, he’s crazy.”

“Oh so you weren’t talking about me,” I laughed, “Not even something good like ‘wow that chick has nice boobs’?”

Zacky’s cheeks flushed, “What? Uhh, no comment.”

I laughed and kissed his cheek, “No worries Zacky, I like my boobs too.”

The guys laughed at Zacky’s humiliation and Matt spoke up, “Well I don’t know about you guys, but these ladies are definitely the hottest girls in this club tonight.”

“Yeah, and they got Lacey to leave,” Johnny laughed.

Savannah blushed as Matt wrapped her in a hug, “Oh yeah?”

I looked down slightly embarrassed that we had caused drama in a very public club in front of one of these guys. “Yeah, it was kind of awesome in a way. Casey shed some light on a little bit more of Lacey’s back story.”

“If I remember right, Brian tried to warn you that she looked familiar,” Zacky laughed and sat down next to Brian and Casey.

Savannah looked over at us, “Well I hope none of you have slept with her, she kinda sounds like there’s a good chance she has an STI.”

All the boys looked at Johnny and I couldn’t help but smirk knowing that I could have fun teasing him, “Did you fall in Johnny? You’re kind of a midgit.”

“Yeah, I mean I doubt you’re a tripod,” Brian egged me on.

All the guys laughed and Johnny flipped us off, “Fuck you guys, for your information we always used condoms and I do not have a baby dick! But I may have felt like I was just falling in a little bit.”

This made us laugh harder because obviously Lacey wasn’t as pure and innocent as she tried to come off as. “Johnny, you do know that condoms can’t protect you from every type of STI out there right?” Savannah asked a little motherly as the waitress came in at that exact time and handed out drinks while looking curiously at Johnny before she walked out hurriedly.

Johnny’s face flushed and Jimmy pointed at him, “Haha she probably is gonna tell everyone that you have an STI.”

Johnny groaned as Matt captured Savannah’s attention and they walked off to the side a bit. “Ooo look at the love birds!” I hollered out as the others whooped and hollered after them. Savannah blushed and threw us all a dirty look and I winked at her.

I sighed and looked back at everyone else taking a drink of my Jack and Coke. Johnny and Jimmy were now messing around playing mercy, while Brian wrapped an arm around Casey’s shoulders as they talked in hushed voices. Casey looking up at him with an innocent teasing smile. I laughed silently and shook my head. “What?” Zacky asked noticing my laughter.

“Oh nothing, just Casey over there giving Brian bedroom eyes, and then the two crazy kids over there playing mercy right before you guys are meant to go on,” I laughed.

Zacky smirked over at Brian and Casey, “I think he really likes her…just too cool to show it right away. Wants to get to know her better before he makes a definite move. His ex was pretty quick to cheat on him as soon as we started touring.”

I nodded in understanding and looked up into his bright green eyes, “What about you Zacky? What’s your story?”

“Well,” he smiled and took a drink of his beer, “I’m 26, currently single, working as a musician in this great band and we’re finally getting our stuff more mainstream.”

I smiled, “That’s really cool, how long has it been since your last relationship?”

“About 9 months,” Zacky shrugged.

“What happened?” I asked curiously noticing that he was becoming more uncomfortable with the situation.

“I got caught up in the music business and had a drug addiction, ended up cheating on her one night when I was really blitzed,” He looked over at the guys. “They saved my life.”

“I’m glad they were able to save you,” I gently squeezed his arm encouragingly.

He nodded, “They were there for me in my darkest times, them and the music.”

I smiled up at him, “They’re definitely your true friends then.”

He nodded, “What about you?”

“I come from a very religious home back in Missouri, Savannah and I have known each other since we were 10. She’s originally from Tennessee ironically. I was her first friend, she liked my name.” I laughed. “Moved out here 2 years ago after we graduated as dance majors in college and have just been trying to make it work. Of course our families don’t know what we do for work and probably never will, they think that we’re cashiers at grocery stores. But, honestly our dream is to dance. We want to make a career of it and that’s why we moved out here.” I said not really going into my family too much.

“What’d your parents say when you told them you were moving out here?” he asked.

“I didn’t tell them, Savannah’s parents told them where we were after we moved. I…don’t have that good of a track record with my parents. Especially my dad,” I moved uncomfortably.

Zacky opened his mouth getting ready to ask more when Jason appeared, “Guys you’re on in 5 minutes! And-oh hey bitches!”

Casey, Vannie, and I laughed and went to Jason hugging him, “Hey Jase.”

The guys stared at Jason confused, “You know them?” Matt asked him curiously.

“Well, yeah…I was one of the first people that Savannah and Tenney met after moving out here,” Jason shrugged.

“You’ve known these hotties for 2 years and you never brought them around us?” Brian asked him incredulously.

“I didn’t want their hearts getting stolen by the one and only Syn Gates,” Jason smirked knowing he was in trouble.

Jimmy tackled Jason, “Are they spies!? Are you all spies!? I KNEW IT!”

Jason laughed and ruffled Jimmy’s hair, “Get off me James Neutron.”

“That’s not my name!” Jimmy yelled jumping up and fixing his hair.

Us three couldn’t help but laugh at the childish antics and jealousy coming across from the guys for Jason “keeping us to himself”. Right then the guys had to go on stage and we retreated to the mosh pit amused and enjoying the music while they played their show. Oh if only every night could be filled with the fun we were having tonight.
