A Good Drink Always Washes Memories [Open]

He woke, staring at the ceiling, clinging onto his sheets. It took him a moment that he was having nightmares. This only happened when he thought about the few things that made these nightmares so real. It was a stupid C-Box fight. Over the internet! Jacky used to make fun of people who devoloped relationships over the internet. He just devoloped a 'not too good one' where he signed up. He knew better then to do such things, but this was Jacky we were talking about. Still, over the c-box, his real name, 'Jack' was mentioned several times, in which 'those' memories came back to him. The memories when they would scream 'Jack' and then smack him across the face. Thats the reason he ran to go to his mom. The person he considered safe with. Now she was dead. On top of that, that stupid Damn-en guy mentioned another touchy subject. Jacky was not gay. he wasn't sure how to prove it, but he just wasn't.

So, with that. Where do you go when you feel horrible, you can't sleep, and everything seems to be falling apart? The bar, duh. Especially for a drinker like Jacky. So, with that, he left his snoring roommate, and went out the door, grabbing his fake ID card. Hey, he worked a long time on his ID card, making everything the exact same, stealing someelses and then having his brothers digital it with his brother's fancy computer. So, he had it. According to that, he was 21, the right age. He walked to the bar, knowing he probably wasn't going to be driving home, and stepped in, head down and avoiding people coming his way.

He sat down on the bar, placed his order, gave him the ID card, and then the drink came. It was strong, and it meant to be too. Jacky took a deep gulp, shaking his head on how strong it was. Ah, it was feeling better all ready. The bartender seemed to be watching him and laughed a little bit, "Having a rough night?"

[/i] He asked, cleaning a wine glass as he did so. Jacky made a still nodd, feeling his hair jerk forward. "You have no idea." he said, in his usual very low voice. "Stupidest fucking thing too." He added, taking another gulp in.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

Tonight my friends had told me to go to the local club. Why? Because it was live proformance night. They signed me up, joy of friends right? I wasn't going to teach people my song. So I decided to just do one song and do 'Baby Its you' since it was the only one Jacob taught me how to play. I rolled my eyes as my friends fussed about what I should wear. I just laughed. Soon we were out the door. No one would let me drive so I sat in the back laughing as my friend, Avery, was driving. She jerked here and there. As three girls in the back scream, me included. Lauren in the front just snickered while hanging for dear life. I loved my friends. We arrived. Lauren snacked my guitar. For once I wanted the stupid thing that I couldn't play. We entered with out cards. Bright smile on my face. I havn't actually done many public gigs. I mostly did for friends and sometimes schools if they needed it. But at a bar/club of all places. Stupid clubs have to have live proformance. I signed in and wrote down how many songs I was doing. Then went to the back with all my friends frantically making sure I was 'perfect'. I smiled as I was called. They all giggled and screamed as I took my guitar and headed onto the stage. I looked around. Everyone's eyes were on me. Probally already judging me when I havn't said a word. Then I spoke nervously, "Um..Hello. My name is Natalie and I will be singing and orginal song written by one of my best friends, Jacob, and myself. Hope you enjoy it.

[/b]" I smiled shyly and started to play. I started to song. I didn't look at the people I never did I closed my eyes loosing myself in the song.

Can somebody explain to me

Cause thats me dont have to spend a dime
Baby i just want your time

You aint got to buy nothing, its not what i want baby its you
We dont got to go no where, its not what i want baby its you

You aint got to buy nothing, its not what i want baby its you

" as I finished I opened my eyes slowly. My friends clapped followed by a roar. I smiled and nodded greatfully and got off the stage. Rushing to my friends who just complimented me on how great I sounded. None of them really knew Jacob. Since I just made them while living here. For about a couple months but they are already like my besties. Weird how things go right? They pointed out a farmilar figure and pushed me. I shook my head. I knew who he was and he seemed pissed. They just told me to 'enlighten his day' and with that the pushed me almost ramming into him. I apologized softly. I just sat down next to him and smiled, "Hey. You probally don't know me. I'm Natalie. I just sang like two seconds ago. I'm not going to ask if you are alright because thats a stupid question. So I guess I'll ask if I maybe join you.[/b]" I slightly blushed. I sounded so stupid. But oh well! I waited for his answer. He seemed so stressed.[/blockquote][/size]

It was always nice when you were drinking and such, and there was a good singer playing. One of Jacky's little pet peeves was when the girl singing sounded like one of those evil popsingers that tormented his ears. She seemed fine. It usually wasn't like him to sit and listen, but he listened at the back of his mind, focusing on his drink, and just about everything else. When the pretty girl on the stage was finished, he went back to his drink.

Though he was not expecting to see out of the corner of his eye the singer herself almost ram into him. He didn't move, and was almost hoping she would, he could fall down and black out. He wanted to black out forever at the moment. But she didn't. Jacky would have made a nodd, but he kept his head very stiff when she mentioned it was stupid if she asked if he was alright. Most of the time, whoever was by themselves, drinking something stiff was not alright. "I don't mind." He said with a shrugg. "That was good singing eariler." He told her automatically as it popped into his mind.

I smiled with a small blush as I responded, "Uh thanks. Glad to hear that. What are you into doing?" Trying to get the conversation off herself. She didn't like to talk about herself to much. She felt so selfcentered when she did so. She waited as she ordered a drink. It came as she smiled and started to sip it. She wasn't a big drinker. She could only have a little at a time. But what else was there to do?
