Chapter 3
They were walking around the mall. Tommy looked in a store which was a music shop he saw Peter in there cheering him on. They sat on a bench near the fountain.
"Oh my God look there's Bruce." Paul said.
"Where?" Eric asked. "Oh there he is."
"And he's with Amy Winehouse." Paul said.
"I heard they're close to going out." Eric said.
"Whatever he can do what he wants of course he'll go with Amy he obviously just wants to be her guitarist so he can have the high reputation again." Gene said.
"He still promised to hang out with me." Paul said.
"Give me your phone I got this." Gene said.
Paul gave Gene his phone and said "you're not gonna come call him are you?"
"No I'm not an idiot." Gene said.
Gene called Amy telling her that Bruce is using her for fame.
As he hung up, Amy pushed Bruce in the fountain and walked away. Bruce struggled to get out, but managed to get out and run after her.
The plastics laughed while Tommy just smiled being confused at the same time.
"That was so fetch." Paul said.
They drove up to their manager's house to hang out there.
"Wow his house is really nice." Tommy said.
"I know right?" Gene said.
They went inside and their manager comes out.
"Hey how's my band doing?" The manager said.
"Hey Doc this is Tommy our new lead guitarist." Paul said.
"Hello. Welcome to my home." Doc said.
"Hi and thank you." Tommy said.
"Just letting you know if you need don't be shy to ask. I'm not a regular manager I'm a cool manager. Right guys?" Doc said.
"Please stop talking." Gene said.
"I'll make you guys some drinks." Doc said.
They went up to their hangout room. The room was big, the walls had some album covers and pictures of them. There were amplifiers and guitars. Drums.
"This is where you guys practice?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah and mostly to hang out." Gene said.
Tommy started looking at the pictures and saw Eric Carr with his famous fox makeup.
They put on a beatles song.
"Do you like the beatles, Tommy?" Gene asked as he took his jacket off.
"They're awesome." Tommy said.
"I love him. He'll fit right in." Gene said.
Doc came in with drinks. They each took a glass.
"Um there's no alcohol in this right?" Tommy asked.
"Why you wanna alittle cause if you drink. I rather you do here." Doc said.
"No thank you." Tommy said.
"Well what's been happening in school. What's the lastest gossip and cool songs coming out." Doc said.
"Doc, can you go organize things for the next tour?" Gene asked.
"Ok. You guys are amazing I love you so much." Doc said.
Doc walked out and Eric sees a book.
"Oh my God guys look I found." Eric said.
"I haven't seen that in forever." Gene said.
"Check it out Tommy it's our burn book. We take pictures from magazines and write comments." Paul said.
"Prince is a whiny little biotch." Eric said.
"Still true." Gene said.
"Madonna is a fat virgin." Paul said.
"Still half true." Gene said.
"Left eye she made out with a picture of Tupac while dating Aaliyah." Eric said.
"Peter Criss, a sad attention seeker." Paul said.
"Is that Ace?" Eric asked as he pointed at the picture.
"Yeah, he's almost too drunk to function." Tommy said.
"Ha that's funny put that in there." Gene said.
Oh no maybe that was okay if Peter said it.
Tommy went back to the mall to see Peter and Ace.
"They have this burn book where they write mean things about all the bands and singers." Tommy said.
"What they say about me?" Peter asked.
"You're not in it." Tommy lied.
"Those fuckers." Peter said.
"Does this guitar come in blue?" Ace asked as he held a black electric guitar.
"No." Peter said. "Tommy you gotta steal that book."
"No way." Tommy said defensive.
"Come on we can publish it and everyone will see how big of an asshole Gene is." Peter said.
"I don't steal." Tommy said.
Ace got his flask out. Peter took it and said "You'll get us kicked out. Look Tommy they're two kinds of assholes there's the ones who do evil and ones who sees evil and do nothing about it."
"Does that mean I can tell that girl that she's wearing bra in public without a shirt?" Ace asked. "Oh wait it's Selena nevermind."
"How much you drank today?" Peter asked.
"Well I had three sips of my flask so yeah kinda drunk right now." Ace said.
"Whatever. So Tommy when are you gonna see Gene again?" Peter said.
"I can't do this. It feels weird." Tommy said.
"Come on he's not gonna find out. It'll be like our little secret." Peter said.
Tommy agreed. He went back to his apartment and just went to his bed. He was watching tv he got a phone call he turn off the tv and answered it.
"Hello?" Tommy said.
"I know your secret." Gene said.
Oh god busted. Just start apologizing and crying no play it cool.
"Secret what are you talking about?" Tommy asked not trying to sound suspicious.
"Paul told you were talking to Eric Carr. I mean I don't care do what you want. Let me warn you he can be annoying cause all he talks about is he thinks the famous life is stressful and shitty." Gene said.
"Is that bad?" Tommy asked.
"Um yeah being famous is amazing. You get to have sex with girls who follows you on tour also know as groupies, but wait aren't you mad that Paul told me you can tell me it was bitchy thing for him to do." Gene said.
"Yeah it was pretty bitchy. I'm not mad it's whatever to be honest." Tommy said.
"See Paul I told you he wasn't mad at you." Gene said.
"That's good but I thought you never told me Eric Carr didn't like the famous life." Paul said.
"Ok love ya see ya tomorrow." Gene said and hung up.
Tommy was lefted confused but rubbed it off and went to bed.
I survived my first famous three way call and with Gene's blessing. I started to feel more comfortable talking to Eric Carr. He was such nice guy very creative, had a lot of energy. He was just guy who wanted to live his life normally and loved his fans. He said he was close friends with Selena which is understandable cause she relates to him too.
"Well our tapestry is done." Eric C said.
"Yeah. It looks beautiful." Tommy said.
We decided to make a piece about fame and how it changes us. Which of course was Eric's idea. I mean I don't get it but atleast we got the message across. It showed a person in a ball position remembering how they used to be before fame.
"Hey so there's gonna be a halloween party at the Jacksons house on Saturday I didn't wanna go so here's the invitation. It's costume party so feel free to dress up. So anyway I'll see you tomorrow in class bye." Eric C said as he gave me in invitation.
"Yeah and thanks." Tommy said.
I got my binder and was ready to leave.
"Hey Tommy, You staying for the Art show meeting?" Vinnie asked.
"Yeah I'll be back." Tommy lied.
