Did You Say The Thing You Wanted?
...2008
“Hetfield!” Tommy Lee yells after a quick soundcheck. “Love the setup you gave us!”
“It’s my job to make you guys look good out on stage and to keep you safe.” I inform him as he engulfs me into a hug. “The last thing you guys need is an accident or not looking good.”
“It’s so hard to believe you’re this wizard backstage.” Vince says as he joins his fellow bandmate. “You’ll always be this little girl that followed James around like a little puppy to me.”
“I followed Nikki like a little puppy too,” I point out as the bass player came over and ripped me from Tommy’s hug and into one of his own.
“You’ve grown up to be such a beautiful and talented girl.” Nikki says before kissing the side of my head.
“Your dad is extremely proud of you.” Mick says before all four men disappear leaving me with the crew members. I can’t help but to smile. I grew up watching these guys and now I’m working for them. It’s crazy.
After getting everything set for the show tonight, I head out of the venue and straight to the hotel. Once I get there, I see Matt standing in the lobby, waiting. It’s been a year since I’ve seen him. Life got in the way. Both of us were touring and couldn’t really keep in touch. So I’m extremely happy to see him. But that happiness quickly goes away when I see a girl run up to him and kiss him on the lips.
Part of me wants to run away but I can’t. Not with Matt making a beeline for me with his new girl in tow.
“Layla, hey!” He says before pulling me into a brief hug. “Wow, what are you doing here?” He asks me.
“I’m working Crue Fest.” I reply. “What brings you here? Are you guys on tour or something?”
“Wow, Crue Fest that’s awesome. Must be a trip to be touring with Motley Crue again.” He smiles. “And now, we’re actually on a little break before we start touring again. I’m actually visiting my girlfriend’s parents. Anna this is Layla, she’s an old friend.”
“Nice to meet you.” The young brunette says, happily. “I love you hair, I wish I can pull something like that off.” I subconsciously run my fingers through my blue and purple hair.
“So how have you been?” The conversation quickly turns awkward as Matt asks that.
“I’ve been busy.” I reply. “Touring and such. I just got off of touring with my dad for a little bit for fun. They said Motley Crue wanted me personally to be stage manager and you honestly can’t tell them no.”
“I’m really proud of you.” Matt states. “You’re really making a name for yourself. Big bands are asking for your personally.”
“I’m sure my last name has a little to do with that.” I counter.
“What’s your last name?” Anna asks.
“Honestly I’ve got to go.” I quickly say, not wanting to tell her my secret. “I’ve got to get ready for tonight’s show.”
“Okay.” Matt says with a confused and shocked expression on his face. “I’ll see you soon, hopefully.”
“Yea, hopefully.” I say before quickly leaving the lobby and running into Nikki.
“That looked painful, you okay Lays?” He looks naturally concerned. I just shake my head, instantly earning a hug…”
