rack. Imagine my surprise when I
got back there and saw that Sweet Lips from Huggys was on the production crew. Sweet Lips was the perfect nickname for
her. God, were they magnificent.
    From the way she looked at me, I could tell that she
recognized me. I had to give her props for staying professional and not letting
on. Now I had three reasons not to blow this: a million bucks, a record
contract, and Elly. Shit! I even remembered her name.
    I walked through the curtain when they called my
name. It had been a long time since I had to audition for anything. I wouldn’t
have admitted this to anyone, but I was nervous as fuck. My hands were shaking
so bad that I wasn’t sure I’d be able to play my guitar. In all honesty, it was
probably more that I needed a drink or a smoke than nerves. Whatever it was, I stood under the spotlights, staring at these three famous
people feeling like I wanted to throw up.
    “Tristan Rogers, wow!” Diva in the center yelled as
soon as she looked at the paper in front of her. Of course, she didn’t
recognize my face.
    “Yeah, it’s me,” I said, trying to sound braver than
I felt.
    “Where have you been?” the soft-spoken country
singer on her right asked.
    Fuck! How do I field that one?
    “After the band broke up, I did some traveling, and
since then, I’ve just been spending time with my family…playing a few gigs here
and there…”
    Family? Yeah right, but it sounded better than the truth.
    “Wow,” Diva with the big, fake tits said again.
    “Okay, let’s hear it,” the guy who got famous off
his mother’s name to her left said.
    I sat down on the stool in the center of the small,
makeshift stage, took a deep breath and tried to go to another place in my
head, a place where I was a superstar and not a loser. When I opened my mouth
actual music came out. I was impressed with myself.
    They stopped me about half-way through. Diva had
tears in her eyes. “That was…wow!” she exclaimed.
    Shocking.
    “Fabulous,” Country Boy said.
    “Amazing,” was Mama’s Boy’s comment.
    I walked out with a golden ticket. I had to field
the same, “Where have you been?” comments from the Emcee, and then I actually
got asked to sign two autographs on my way out. I made my way back to the other
room, the first one I’d waited in, and found the girl with the lisp.
    “Hey, I’m sorry. Can I go to the back again, real quick ? I forget something in there, I think.”
    She sighed like it was taking everything in her not
to say no and then she said, “Okay, but quickly, I’m busy.”
    “I can find my way,” I told her. She started to
protest, but the guy at the door called her name. I went through the other
door, walked up to Elly, and took her pen from her hand. I wrote down my number
on her clipboard, smiled and left without saying a word. I was going to treat
myself to a drink…and a smoke…and maybe a line or two.

 
    CHAPTER
SEVEN
    ELLY
    “Pass me the dip,” I told my roommate, Susie.
    We were supposed to be studying for the final we had
coming up. Our summer classes were coming to an end, and I was actually looking
forward to having a couple of weeks off before the fall semester began. Susie
handed me the dip, I grabbed a handful of chips and put them on my plate, and
Susie said, “So, are you going to call him?”
    “Who?” I said, facetiously. I knew exactly whom she was talking about.
    She rolled her eyes and said, “You know who, don’t
act dumb. Are you going to call him?” I had broken down and told Susie
everything. I told her about my crush and about going to the seedy bar and,
Lord help me, I told her about the sex in the
bathroom. God bless her, she didn’t seem to judge me at all. She actually told
me that when she was a kid, she had the hots for the
lead singer of Blink 182 and, given half the chance, she’d do him in the
bathroom too.
    “I don’t think it’s a good idea, do you?”
    “It’s not up to me,” she said. “But just for
argument’s
