Monday morning

"Y/n...y/n, Y/N!"

"What?!" scowling at Jenny

"You were out of it again, I said your birthday is coming up what do you want to do or what are you hoping for?"

"I don't want anything" shrugging shaking my head

"You're kidding?" she stares at me with boredom

"No I'm serious, I don't want anything at all. We're spoiled Jen, dad tries so hard to get us everything we want. What if I want something he can't give me like...my own tattoo shop?"

"I'm pretty sure he has some money stored away in the savings account that he could-

"Focus Jenny, see that's what I'm talking about. I'm going out for awhile, maybe to the stables" detaching myself from the situation leaving

Walking past a mirror I backtrack and look at myself thinking, do I want to change. No I don't, jeans and a t-shirt is good for me. Snatching the keys I go out the door hearing Jenny call for me but I ignore her. She is right though my head has been elsewhere lately, I've been hanging out a lot more with the guys of Alice in Chains. They are fun to be around and I have been one to not shy away from attractive looking people, but it's more like I wanna just be around them. I don't really know the reasons yet, I mean I do but I don't if that makes sense

After walking miles across town I made it to their apartment, digging for my keys I use the spare Layne made me to unlock the door walking in seeing him standing by the sink eating spaghetti Os

"Honey I'm home, did you just wake up or already waiting for me?" sitting on his beat up couch

"Woke up 20 minutes ago, what's up?"

"Just wanting to see 4 of the coolest guys in Seattle, is that so wrong because I can leave and come back"

"No you can stay, just getting ready to go out and look for some records" watching him throw the dish in the sink as it makes a loud clang when making contact

"Well go get dressed and I'll wait here, don't you guys have band rehearsal today?" picking up his pack of cigarettes I'd assume if not they're likely Jerry's

"Later today and a show, why you coming to support us"

"You know it, I'm your guys' groupie Layne c'mon what kinda girl would I be to ditch you guys" teasing him as he shakes his head chuckling going to get dressed

Standing by in the aisle across from Layne searching for any interesting or eye catching records, I still see him in my peripheral vision scanning around. Such a cute guy but a real gentleman, you would think with how he looks at first glance he's more rugged but looks can definitely be deceiving

"Anthrax or Slayer?" breaking from my trance I gesture for him to repeat himself "Spreading the Disease or Reign in Blood?"

"Spreading the Disease" moving around the aisle to join him in his "Why not get both?"

"Only brought $7"

"Grab both I have money Layne" picking up the second album placing it in his hand "C'mon I'm ready make bad choices" leading the way to the register not seeing his smile behind me

Friday afternoon

Sitting by on a stack of hay I've been watching Jerry shovel for about an hour after I finished brushing Jonesy's mane. Feeling finished with my apple I gave the rest to the nearby horse in one of the stables next to my reach as they finish it. Standing up I grab a saddle from one of the racks and go into his stable to ready him up for riding
