Rockin and Rollin (PM me to join )

Benji made it backstage and took a seat on the deserted drum kit throne. As he sat there he tested out the pedals to the kick drum and high hat. They were adjusted perfectly. He tapped the snare a little and listened to the little chain beneath the head rattle. His right leg began to fidget, his foot wanting to start pounding out a heartbeat. Nadia was nowhere in sight. He wondered where she had gone this time. Fortunately he could also see Nailz. He still had the urge to go ask her what she was thinking, but resisted. Pulling the drumsticks from the top of the kick drum he began running through a cadence he always played when he warmed up. Hell, now was as good a time as any to audition. He ran through the cadence full force, using every available tom and cymbal. He began to work up a little sweat and watched as the lights played off the crash when he would smack it. His hands felt okay despite the recent altercation, but his head pounded each time he hit the cymbals with any force. Closing his eyes he lost himself, hearing the music around him that played only in his head. He spun the sticks each time he raised them from the drum heads and finally ended it with a sudden crash of both cymbals. They rang for just a second before he grabbed them.

"Well I'm going to need some help putting my drum back into the car." She looked at her and then heard a noise. Someone was playing on her drums. The thought of someone using them was a buzz kill, and she ran out of the bathroom. Making her way back stage, she saw Benji, taking the liberty of her set. "What in the hell do you think you're doing on my shit!" That was her comfort zone, her drums, and she did not take lightly to people touching things she treasured without asking her first. Her face was red, and she was breathing hard, she wanted to know what he thought he was doing.
 
"Uh oh..." Allie muttered as she walked outside to see Ben on Nadia's drums. She shook her head, was he going to get a bitching now. She shook her head and walked onstage, she supposed she could take control of the situation and start rocking out. It would be the perfect time, nah...it didn't seem like the best idea since Nadia seemed thoroughly pissed, "Nadia...he didn't know. Chill out okay?" She gave Ben an apologetic look.
 
Benji looked at Nadia, all red faced and frowning. He stood up and stepped out from behind the kit and up to her. "Just being sure my sticks still work." He twirled them once and glanced at her. "Cause nothing else I got seems to be anymore." He stuck them back in his pocket and looked down at her. "Nice equipment." He mumbled at her, complimenting her kit, and her.
 
"Just ask me next time ok? You're a drummer, you should know these things. This kit is my baby. And thanks." She half smiled at him. Turning back to Allie. "We leaving now?" She could feel herself calming down, and also getting a headache. Turning her back to Benji, she walked around the drums and bent down to get her backpack. Under it, she found the sheet music. "By the way Allie, I was looking this over, and its really great! We should practice it some more whenever we get the chance."
 
Nailz turned to Greg after everyone seemingly left and the plans of the fell threw. "Come on Greg looks like everyone has a stick up their ass, that doesn't mean our fun should end should it? Seeing as no one wants to speak to me right now, I'm just going to leave a voice message on Allie's phone."She goes to her case and gets her cell phone out and dials Allie's number and leaves this message. "Hey Allie it's Emily, I'm sorry I fucked up your plans for an encore tonight, I know you had your heart set on it. I'm also sorry for spiking Nadia's drink with EX, I see know it wasn't the best decision but I didn't think everyone would freak out so bad about it. Isn't this rock and roll, sex drugs and everything. Well Greg and I are heading back to my place for the night. Call me back in the morning on Nadia's condition. I have no doubt she'll be fine for it was only a small dosage any. Well I'm out.
She hangs up and grabs her stuff leading Greg out the bar without saying a word to anyone as she passes still angry that everyone is indeed angry at her.
 
Benji got over her confrontation quickly. She thanked him for the compliment and turned to Allie. He waited and would offer to help load the kit safely into whatever she was leaving in. He wasn't sure when or if he was leaving. The thought of going to the lonely apartment over the antique store was not exactly appealing at this time.
 
Greg watched as Emily left the message. Then he followed her out through the club. When they were outside, he cleared his throat. "Next time, you should consider alternate methods of inducing a lustfilled haze in someone." He grinned teasingly, then stepped around her and headed for the car he'd gotten.
 
"Really, you think? It's not even totally finished yet..." She said with a small blush, she glanced over at Max and bit back the urge to say something to him like a nice civil hi, since they hadn't been civil to one another unless forced to. "Yeah, lets hit the road." She turned to Ben, "Hope you get in the other band." She smiled at him and quickly jotted down her number on a gum wrapper, then handed it to him. "Bye!"

As she and Nadia walked out of the bar, her phone beeped indicating she had a message. She checked her voicemail to hear it was Nailz apologizing.
 
Benji took the gum wrapper from Allie. She had written a number on it and he assumed it was hers. He stuck it in his pocket and stood watching her and Nadia. He nodded at her, then walked to Nadia. He took her hand and looked down into the pools of her eyes. "I'm sorry about what all happened tonight. I hope next time things will be a little more, real." He was sincere and hoped he would see her, well the whole band, again. He rubbed her fingers a little with his thumb before he turned loose.
 
She turned to Greg after loading his car and getting into the passenger seat. Well with Nadia being so seclusive like she is I doubt she would have openly welcomed me starting kissing her out of the blue like that. I was trying to lossen her up and show her what type of fun she could have, is that really a bad thing?
 
Greg shrugged. "Some people don't take kindly to drugs. Besides, you could have started off by giving her a show, which would have gotten her all hot and bothered." He grinned, then shrugged, climbing into the driver's seat and starting the engine with a roar.
 
Emily sighed as she looked out the window at the passing street lights as they headed to the hotel to pick up his stuff.

Well she seemed pissed off the first time we went backstage together, so I'm not sure if she would have appreciated us making out backstage. I think I should apologize to Nadia as well.

She got out her cell phone again and called hoping Nadia wouldn't answer so she wouldn't have another confrontation on her hand.
 
"It's no big deal," she said, taking her hand away from his. "If I'm lucky I wont remember any of this tomorrow, so it's no sweat. Would you mind helping me put all this shit back up?" She slung her bag over her shoulder and started to take her kit apart, making sure her skirt didnt show her underwear as she moved about. Allie had moved some place from where they were, to talk on her cell phone.
 
Greg smiled, and reached over, squeezing Emily's thigh. Then he showed her what his car could really do, streaking off towards the hotel he was staying at.
 
Benji watched as she tried to disassemble her kit. She still seemed a little wobbly to be bending over and trying to lift pieces of the kit. He moved in and began to take the cymbals off the stands and pit them back in their cases. "Why don't you sit down and just direct, okay?" He smiled at her as she winced. He knew her head must hurt. His sure did, but for other reasons. He did wonder how much she would remember tomorrow. And he wondered how she would get by her parents tonight.
 
"I'm fine. Just head is pounding. I should have never worn this dumb ass skirt." She tugged on it hard, exposing her midriff as she tried to cover up more of her thighs. Pulling her shirt down to cover her stomach, the tops of her breast peaked out, smooth in skin showing across her the collar of her shirt. "Stupid fucking clothing. I swear, jeans and a tshirt for the rest of my life."

Nadia felt her phone vibrate in her backpack but chose to ignore it, her head was not in the mood to talk to anyone right now.
 
Allie glanced over at Max for the millionth time tonight and sighed. She had to say something, it was not in her nature to pretend he wasn't there. Damn him for being arrogant, damn him for booking her, damn him for being so damn gorgeou....whoa whoa whoa, she would not allow herself to admit that she actually had a thing for Max. She would simply go over there and say a civil hello. Yes, thats what she'd do.

She turned to Nadia and Ben who seemed to be getting along well. "Ben, do you mind taking Nadia home, theres something I have to take care of...if thats alright with you Nadia."
 
Emilysighed in relief as she heard Nadia voicemail pick up "Hey Nadia its me Emily and I was just calling to see how you were doing. As for who spiked your drink with E I know who did it. It was me. I hope you're not mad at me for it, I just thought your could have used the loosening up, for you always seemed a little bit up tight and seclusive. You need to learn how to have a good time girl. I understand if you dont want to speak to me for a while, but soon I bet after this whole situtation is over we'll be looking back at this night and laugh about it Emily hung up the phone before turning back to Greg. I'm sure in the near futre we'll all be laughing about this night , I'm sure of it.

Her phone vibrated again, someone had left a voicemail. "I dont really care. I just dont want to be here anymore. I want to go to sleep. What are you going to be doing hanging around here anyway?" She wondered if Allie was going to go start something with Max. It seemed like the thing she would do. Nadia wouldnt care what happened as long as she wasnt around to witness it.
 
"Nothing...absolutely nothing." She said innocently, Allie smiled at her friend and bandmate. "I won't start anything, don't worry." It was like she could read Nadia's mind! She paused for a moment, knowing that no one knew how she felt about Max, hell even she didn't know how she felt about Max. "I was just going to say hi thats all. I mean, when was the last time Max and I were civil towards one another?" That didn't really seem to make a good point, though and Allie said quickly, "Besides, if I make a scene we won't be playing here anymore, which Max would definately gloat about. Do you think I'd give him that benefit?"
 
Greg shrugged, moving in and around traffic. Then he finally pulled up in front of the hotel. "Dunno, but something tells me you should be on your best behavior for a while. At least around your bandmates."
 
Alex thanked Benji, he was a good kid after all. He broke himself loose from Benji's arm, excusing himself to the restroom. Alex splashed some water in his heated face, cooling his skin. Hell, if they weren't in some serious fucking trouble by now... Fuck it. He wasn't planning on caring anymore.

He dried his hands before moving to the backstage area. Alex found Benji and Allison helping Nadia with her drum kit. He smiled vaguely, a familiar blush over his cheeks when he saw Nadia. It wasn't her short skirt or anything, it was just... Well, Nadia as a whole. The shy girl with a beautiful appearance, cute eyes... He could go on about it, but he would make an ass of himself if he wasn't going to help them. He picked up a few pieces of Nadia's gear and brought them to the car. When her whole kit was packed up and stored in the car Alex waited. He was planning on making small talk, but couldn't find the words. So, instead, he just asked a simple question. Couldn't hurt, could it?

"Want me to drive you home, Nadia?"
 
Benji smiled as she pulled her skirt down, then her shirt to cover her tummy. That caused the rise of her breasts to peak from the collar of the shirt which he admired with a longer than necessary glance. She cursed the clothing as Benji started loading the equipment again. "So, how are you gonna get past your parents tonight?" He asked, remembering how she had told him they were so attentive to what she was always doing.
 
Allie paused "Or you could go home with Alex." Allie said then was thoughtful about it for a minute, "Yeah, you should go home with Alex..." She said giving Alex her 'I see what you're up to' smile, if a smile could be labeled that. "You don't mind do you Ben?" She said, forgetting her plan involving Max. Right now, it was time to play matchmaker.
