Chapter Four.

Drezden

The venue, a bar known as Belly Up, was surrounded by eager fans. I could see them all from the window of the bus. Though I was sure they couldn't see me, it was clear many of them were trying.

“You want to head out there?”

It was Colt who spoke. I didn't bother to spare him a glance. “I want Brenda to answer her god damn phone, is what I want.”

Crouching low, the drummer's ear-gauge swung in my face; it no longer sported a bandage from the bar fight with Johnny. “She isn't answering for a reason.”

“No shit,” I mumbled. “It's the 'reason' that worries me.”

“You try to call Lola?”

My fingers traced the hard lump of my cell phone in my pocket. Three fucking times. I called her over and over, she didn't pick up at all. “Yeah,” was all I said.

Bathing in the aura of my grim mood, Colt tapped his nails to an unheard rhythm. For some time, it was the only noise; that, and the muffled roar of the crowd. “Listen,” he started, speaking more to the window than me, “you can't sit here worrying. They're fine, just running late. Brenda was pissed at you earlier, right? I bet she isn't picking up because of that.”

I considered him thoughtfully. “And Lola? What's her reason?”

“I—look, Drez,” he sighed heavily. “I don't know. Maybe she's just busy, or maybe Brenda won't let her answer. That's possible, yeah?”

Leaning away from the window, a tiny frown grew. Brenda could do that, knowing her and how she likes to make her 'points' and shit. When I glanced at Colt, I realized he was grinning at me triumphantly. “Since our attentive manager isn't here with the groceries, want to go find something to eat out there before sound check?” I asked.

“Hell yeah!” Laughing openly, Colt stood and cracked his back. “Hey, Porter!” The bassist craned his head out from his room. “Come on, let's go get some grub. I'm starving.”

As a group, we stepped out of the bus. The wave of screams welcomed us to the world, security holding back the throngs with metal fences. Girls waved signs, each proclaiming their love for the band, or for me specifically.

Porter and Colt were more generous with their returned smiles than I was. Even under the crush of adoring fans, my mind was stuck on where Lola could be. Not knowing was acid in my blood. It gnawed deep, never giving me respite.

Rounding the corner, we vanished behind the building. Trailers and food trucks filled the parking lot, the familiar caravan that heralded our tour. Enticing, greasy smells softened my worries. I was furious with hunger; maybe meeting one of my primal needs would give me some peace until Lola returned.

It's a stronger urge that wants to be satisfied. A hamburger won't fix it. That didn't stop me from grabbing one from a cart, the vendor beaming at my appearance. His gloating face said 'you don't need to pay me!' But I'm not such an asshole.
