The First Punch
SuicideGirls
“I fucking love you Axl and you had to go fuck it up?! Mike was never there for you and you fucking slept with him! I can’t believe I thought you were different than Mike!” Tony screamed as he opened the door to our house and stomped out. I sat down on the couch and was sobbing. I heard someone coming from behind the couch. I didn’t bother to look for a fear of showing my destroyed makeup. I just kept my head in my hands and continued to cry.
“Don’t ever trust the devil bitch!!” I heard just before I felt a sharp stabbing pain I’m my back. I heard laughing just as it started to go black.
I quickly sat up in bed and was breathing heavily. I could feel tears starting to develop in my eyes and I felt movement next to me.
“Axl.. Are-Are you okay?” I heard Tony ask sleepily. He sat up in bed and put his arms around me. I nodded and put my head on his shoulder. “Crazy dream?”
“Way more than crazy… Tone.. You know I would never cheat on you right?” I wiped my face and he looked at me and nodded.
“Axl I know you never would, you would never do that to anyone.” He said rubbing my back. I felt so guilty because of what I had done with Vic just 5 months before Mike and I ended. I especially got freaked out before the tour started because Vic said he had feelings for me and I thought he thought what we did was more than just a one night stand. But I weakly smiled and looked at Tony.
“Are you hungry?” I asked Tony, getting up out of bed and picking up my phone.
“Babe you don’t have to make anything for me. I can do it. What time is it by the way?” He asked and I looked at my phone. It was 10:30, I told him then started to think about my shoot. My shoot was at 1:30 and it was like 20 minutes away. I had plenty of time but Tony insisted I didn’t make anything for him. He got out of bed and walked over to the bathroom. He shut the door behind him and I heard the shower start. I picked up the bag that had all of the lingerie and the other clothes I had for my shoot and went to the spare bathroom to check my face for any blemishes. My face looked fine but I still had some makeup on from yesterday and my hair looked like shit. I quickly pulled off my clothes and hopped in the shower.
About 20 minutes later I got out of the shower and slipped on my lingerie and put a robe on. I dried my hair and brushed my teeth. I picked up the bag and walked to our room. I thew my clothes in the laundry basket and wandered to the kitchen where I smelt coffee.
“Axl are you eating here or are you going out with the girls for something to eat?”
“Yeah I’m just going out with Melody though.” I was just going to the shoot early to watch Melody do her suspension shoot, then I'd get ready for mine. It was now 11:30 and I grabbed my purse slid on my heels and kissed Tony goodbye.
“Love you be safe!” He said laughing and looking in the fridge. I closed the door behind me and headed for my cherry red Charger. Once I got in I plugged in my phone and started to play some Marilyn Manson. I backed out of the driveway and headed for Melody’s apartment. She is dating Gaskarth and seeing that he just got back from tour, I’d assume she had been busy all night.. or this morning. She is one of my best friends, it's funny that if she hadn't moved here when she was 10 then we wouldn't be friends. She was from London but moved here with her mom after her dad left. We started to model at the same time and the first shoot we both did was together. Now we push our agency to have us do shoots together.
Once I got to her apartment I lit a cigarette and shot her a message. About 5 minutes later I saw her running out of the doors and she was pulling on her robe. I laughed as I blew smoke out of my nose.
“Eyyy Mel! You busy?” I took another drag as she opened the door and got in. She shot me a look, smiled, and held out her hand.
“Come on Al.. gimme a fag!” I laughed and I pulled one out. "You gonna fucking light it or not?" She laughed and I put the flame to the cigarette, and she smiled. I pulled away and headed for the place where the shoot was taking place. It was supposed to be an abandoned building shoot so I followed the address and 15 minutes later we got to this magnificent, old, brick factory building.
"We are here Mel." I said putting the car in break and shutting it off. We both got out of the car and started to walk to to building. There was a small sign out front that said ‘Millers crook textiles' it was beaten up. But we opened the doors and saw tons of lights and people with makeup tables and cameras.
"Ah Mel! Let me do your makeup cutie!" Said Ashley coming over. I really hated Ashley she's a bitch who thinks she knows everything but in reality all she can do is have sex and do makeup. She flashed me a glare and I laughed shaking my head. She took Melody's hand and pulled her to the table.
"Alex! You're early!" I heard Adrien say from his table. He was one of the best makeup artists in the world yet he loved to work on alternative models. “You have the shoot after this one. Why’re you here?” He asked as he continued to do Annie Masons makeup. She was a veteran SuicideGirl.. And everyone looked up to her. She was doing the shoot with Mel. Even though Mel tried to keep it all cool on the surface she had told me a few days before I got home that she was so nervous to work with her.
“Just wanted to watch Angel and and Mel do the shoot!” I laughed as I walked over to Annie, whom everyone called Angel because of her stellar looks. I stood next to her and looked in the mirror, she looked beautiful and Adrien only had to do some finishing touches. A minutes or two later Angel stood up and gave me a tight hug.
“Hey girlie! How are you?” She said before letting go.
“I’m good! How’re you Angel?” I said smiling. She laughed and leant to my ear.
“Girlie.. How’s this Melody girl? I heard she’s good but you’re my favorite model here so can you fill me in on her?” I giggled as she pulled away.
“Mel is amazing we both started at the same time. She’s done millions of suspension shoots. So have you so, I think it’ll go good!” She smiled and kissed my cheek.
After about 30 minutes of just standing there catching each other up on our lives, we heard the manager of the shoot yelling for Mel and Angel to get hooked up. I sat in Adrien's chair and he came over to me.
“Hey betch!!” Adrien said flamboyantly. I fucking loved him.. He was the gayest man I knew and he was yet another one of my friends but I never really got to see him because like ever other day he was going somewhere different. Tomorrow he heads off to London to see his boyfriend, whom just so happened to be Shep.. Melody’s brother. With him it’s the best, in my whole career I’ve only gone to 3 other makeup artists.
“Hey babe, how is you?” I asked smiling as he kissed the top of my head.
“Gucci Gucci Hun!” He looked at me in the mirror and he lauged.
“What?! Is something wrong?” I asked as I started to fix my face and hair. He put his hands on mine to make me stop.
“Honey, you are the fucking bomb… I just love working with you.” He leaned down to my ear and whispered, “I mean I love working with Annie but lets be honest, I’ve know you forever and when I was 16 I moved in at your house and I practiced makeup on.. you are my favorite to work on. All time best model I’ve worked on.” He kissed my cheek and stood up straight, looking at my face trying to decide which look to go for.
“What’d you think?”
“Hmm.. I think it’ll be a surprise!” He grabbed my chair and spun me around. Like 40 minutes later he spun my chair around and my face looked amazing. As it always does when he’s finished. “Well your hair is perfect as always when you come in.” I smiled and gave him a hug. We turned around and watched the girls hanging from the rafters.. that is on hooks… We watched them till 1:10 when they got lowered, off their hooks and cleaned up. We saw them taking apart the suspension set and putting together my set. Today was a special set because I was being featured in the magazine. They have a whole article on me, how I began, my life and ‘what I’ve been through’. Which I’m guessing is about Mike and shit. I don’t really care if they tell about my problems with Mike along as they don’t push too deep.. or have anyone in the band talk about it.
Anyways 1:30 came and the shoot manager was yelling for me. When he saw me he smiled and winked at me.. Tory was always eyeing me but I’ve never gotten with him.. he’s just creepy. Last year he got one of the suicide girls pregnant and her career was fucked. He didn’t even get in trouble. I de-robed and walked onto the set.
The next 20 minutes were just pictures in my lingerie then they had me change into some other clothes then another 20 minutes went by doing pictures. They had me change into some other clothes that I had no clue I was going to wear and they only shot that one quickly, maybe just 10 minutes. Then they asked me to take off my clothes down to my panties and pose with just those and a flannel on.. I’ve done so many of these shoots so I did it and that took like 20 minutes.
“Alrighty then, I think we got amazing shots today girls good job!" Tory tried to make light of the fact that he had been here since 5 in the morning. I tied the side of the flannel together and walked to Mel.
"Fucking wanker." She said taking a drag and shaking her head.
"NO FUCKING SMOKING!" Tory snapped. He never got too angry unless you did drugs, drank, or smoked in front of him. To that all of the models still there pulled out either drug, drink, or smoke. I pulled out a joint and lit it... I smiled as I looked at him mischievously. "What the fuck you lookin at 'May Berry'?!" He spat.. All of the girls scoffed and now they were all looking at him and I.
"Well I would say you but..." I said walking closer to him. Mind you I had the flannel tied and not buttoned too much so my top half was... Uh kinda, almost out there. When I got closer to him I grabbed his tie seductively and took a drag. His face was turning red as I got closer.
"Uh Al--" he tried to say as I blew smoke in his face. I quickly let go and ran to Mel, every girl was laughing and heading out of the factory. "YOU WHORES GET THE FUCK OUT!!!" He screamed.
"QUICK GET IN THE CHERRY MOBILE!!!" I jokingly yelled and Mel and I scurried to the car laughing. I threw my bag in the back and so did Mel as we got in. I started the car and plugged in my phone. "Pick a song you London trash." I laughed as I handed my phone to her. She laughed a took the phone. Not a second later ATL was playing. She smiled as she sang the words and turned it up.
"Let's get the fuck out of here. I've a deal with Spencer's for some free stuff because I model their lingerie for them sometimes.. Can we head to the mall?" She asked as I pulled out of the factory parking lot.
"Do you fucking see what we are wearing?" I laughed.
"Oh yeah, later?"
"4 sound okay?" And Mel nodded her head.
I pulled up to her apartment and she handed me my phone which was now playing Pantera. She smiled and grabbed her bag. As she got out of the car she looked at me.
"Babe I can pick you up at 4." She smiled and winked. "Never mind you can do it." She laughed, blew a kiss and ran to her door.
I headed for my house and couldn't wait to-uh-show Tony what I wore for my set.. I think he'll like it... ;)
“Don’t ever trust the devil bitch!!” I heard just before I felt a sharp stabbing pain I’m my back. I heard laughing just as it started to go black.
I quickly sat up in bed and was breathing heavily. I could feel tears starting to develop in my eyes and I felt movement next to me.
