Chapter 28

Doc roamed the halls seething. Richie hadn’t answered his door after all the noise earlier and Jon was no where to be found. What the hell was going on? Things had been going so well until just recently. It was those two women, girls, whatever! He knocked on Davids door and got no response. Fuck where was Jon, where the hell was Richie, he had to talk to him, to them. Those girls had to go. The boys needed to concentrate on work not pussy. Ok well, they could concentrate on pussy but not just one, it just wouldn’t work, not right now. They needed to be available, accessible not off the market.

Making his way to Alec's door her knocked loudly “Al, Al hello?! Answer the fuckin door man, is Rich in there? Jon? Come on I know your in there.”

Alec stumbled to the door , rubbing his eyes ‘Yea, Yea I’m  comin’ “ he opened the door. “Whatcha on a rampage about ? “

“Have you seen Jon?” Doc looked around the smoky room, looked at Alec’s bloodshot eyes. His gaze slid over to the bed where Richie say grinning like fool. “Are you guys high again?” he huffed.

“Whatta you think? “ Alec answered , as he nearly tumbled over making his way back to a chair , and plopped down . “ Na haven’t seen Jon, he said something about some alone time and not at this hotel -- so I dunno “ he shrugged his shoulders.

Doc rolled his eyes “Seriously? What the fuck? He can’t just take off!” He shut the door and waved his hand in the air in an effort to clear the smoke. “I thought I told you guys to keep this shit on the down low? Man, you can’t be smoking the room up like it’s a fuckin’ hookah bar.” He shook his head “Rich What the fuck was up earlier? I heard you and the Barbie snob all the way down in my room, if that’s how it’s gonna be she’s gotta go. What the fuck is her damage anyway?”

Richie gazed up at Doc , if he wasn’t feeling so damned good he would slug the asshole for speaking about Em like that  “It was nothing just an argument is all .  She ain’t goin’ nowhere “ He paused  He didn’t think anyway , they had a nasty fight and he said some fucked up things but she had no right to dump his stash .

“Sounded like more than just an argument to me.” He almost growled. “I thought you two were killin’ each other. That girl is fuckin’ with  your head man, you need to get rid of her. You and Jon both. This is ridiculous!!”

“Look man , just cuz you think we should be fuckin’ everything under the sun , don’t mean we have to . The girls are still gonna come to the shows ,and buy the albums whether we are single, married , widowed or divorced . “

“Unbelievable!” Doc shook his head in exasperation. “I wish you could see what I see man, ever since you met that little--”he stopped himself he knew he should bite his tongue on what he really wanted to call the girl. “Girl, you’ve had your head so far up her ass..” He sighed “Jon too, you guys really need to focus! And this shit ain't helping.” He motioned to the assorted drugs lying around the table. Sure, he didn’t see anything wrong with a little pick me up here and there, even experimenting, it was rock and roll after all. But, he knew full well how impossible it was to manage addicts and lately a few of the guys had been pushing towards that title, and fast.

“Hey, we keep it to a  minimum if at all during show nights but we have two days off so what the fuck ? I hadn’t planned on it tonight just-- “ Richie paused he didn’t want to mention the fight Em and he had is what drew him to it tonight.  “Don’t think Jon is gonna be too happy with you talkin’ about his girl and all like you do. These girls haven’t done anything wrong ,except make our lives better . “ And he just might have fucked it up  but damn why did she have to do that for ? Why couldn’t she understand , he doesn’t do it all the time .

Doc smirked, “I ain’t said a damn thing about Gia besides the fact that she’s a distraction Jon does need right now, she’s a nice enough girl really and that's the problem. He needs to focus on his career right now not a nice girl with nice morals, it’s just a bad fit and bad timing. You on the other hand...” once again he broke off his words. A Senator’s daughter? And a young one at that? Spoiled little princess with a haughty attitude. From what he’d seen, he was surprised Jon’s little Gia and the princess even got along, they were so different. “Look,” He tried another approach. “Maybe if the girls just went home for awhile, I ain't saying dump em but really you and Jon haven’t been  yourselves lately.”

“There is no way Jon is gonna send her home, not after -- well- we love these girls and they ain’t goin’ anywhere , so what if Emmie is a Senator’s daughter , He had no problem with us . You’re lucky I’m high right now , the shit you’re saying right now, dare you to even say it to Jon . You might get a fist in her face or worse he might take off and get married just to spite you “ RIchie chuckled at Doc’s exasperated look.  “But you’re gonna aren’t you ? You’re all about the dollars and cents lately who the fuck cares if we’re actually happy ? “

With a groan Doc turned on his heel, “How the fuck did I get stuck with five of the most stubborn nonsensical fuckers around?” unbelievable! He stormed out of the room. Just wait til Jon gets back, I have a few words for Mr high and mighty!
