Clothes

I wake up on the table. I feel sticky and smell like tequila. "Body shots." I said and I'm grateful I don't have remembrance or hang overs right now. I kind of want to go to the beach. The beach sounds nice right now. And the sun is going to rise soon.

I tiptoe upstairs, aware of all the band members in my house. I sneak past mike in our bed and grab some clothes. I quickly change, give mike a kiss on the lips and a I love you and I leave. I grab my skateboard from behind the door but I feel a tap on my shoulder.

"Can I join you?" Mitch says and I smile and nod. Okay, this guy is a legend, he is my idol. Calm down.

"Early riser?" I ask him as we step out and he nods. "Yeah I'm missing the wife and the child right now." He said pulling up a picture to show me. I see Jolie and Kenna on Halloween. All dressed up and adorable.
"They are beautiful." I say and he smiles. "So, you were quite the life of the spy last night." He laughs and i shake my head.
"don't tell me what I did. I don't wanna know." I say and he laughs again. "Let's just say you have a nice body for shots." He replies and I shake my head.


I see the sky getting lighter and I wanna see the green flash. "If we hurry we can see the flash." I said and I started running. I hear him behind me keeping up.

Soon I am a couple strides away from the beach. I can sense Mitch behind me and I pull his arm to keep running.

Soon I see the head of The sun and the green flash illuminates the sky. "Woah.." Mitch says in awe but I smile widely.
soon the sun is just peaking over the horizon and I sit down in the sand. "So tell me about yourself." He asks and I laugh.

"Well I'm originally from Washington, I love to play the bass and I love to surf and I'm pretty boring. I used to be a JabbaWockee." I counter and he laughs. "Really? Like the dance crew?" He asks and I nod. "That explains last night." He laughs and I shove him arm.

"Not funny." I said.
"you didn't say that last night." He replies and I gape at him.
"I was pretty bad last night huh?" I ask and he nods. "But it was fucking hilarious." He said and I shake my head.

"So tell me about the famous Mitch lucker. " I said and he laughs.

He he begins to tell me tour stories, sad stories, funny ones, happy ones. All about the life. It ended up being a confession and he vented to me about his alcohol addiction, so I told him about my self harming and suicidal tendencies.

We talked for what seemed like an hour but was really 4. The guys would be up by now.

"We should get back. People would be wondering where we went." I said and he nodded. "Not a lot of people know about my problem, do you mind keeping it on the DL?" He asks and I nod. "Or course.its not my secret to tell." I reply.

"Thanks,my fans don't really need to know that the person that seemed so strong isn't." He said sadly and I stop him.

"Hey, everyone breaks at some point. Some earlier. Some later. We all have ways of coping. Each for different reasons. Just, when you thinks bout doing something dumb, think about your fans and Jolie and Kenna. I know they always put a smile on your face." I said and he pulls me in for a tight bear hug.
"Thank you." He said and I smile and continue to walk back in peace.
