Y/N's POV, 1996

Nikki made mistakes, he made them quite regularly however that didn't make him a bad person, he didn't think things through at times and let his anger and ego cloud his judgement and was usually too proud to admit when he was wrong.

He always had to learn the hard way, and he's learnt the hard way the last few years, it's been metaphorically beaten into him, and what had to had to learn? That Mötley Crüe can't work without Vince Neil.

Vinnie was always what made the band perfect for me, he was perfect in the band and nobody else could ever replace him so when an argument broke out and it ended out happening, and someone took Vince's place.

When I heard what had happened from Nikki's mouth we argued over it because I saw what Nik didn't at the time, I saw the failure of the band.

Nikki and I weren't together at that point, we only got together in 1993, after being friends for years, since that argument over the band and Vince I hadn't said much more on the matter, I got on with John Corabi and befriended him however I've always stood by my feelings and not been on board with him.

However, I did start talking more about the issues with John after the album with him failed and Nikki had to face the music and accept that it wasn't working. It's taken me a year to get Nikki to arrange some kind of meeting with Vince to talk things through and finally a month ago he relented and agreed.

I've also spoken to Vince for around the same amount of time as Nikki and got him to agree to a meeting too a week after Nikki did, and I don't know who was harder to talk into it.

Vince was still angry at Nikki and the other guys given the things they've said about him the last few years, things I think were unacceptable and I took Vin's side on that, on the entire situation actually, he got treated like shit by his friends and though it was hard for me to talk to him given the situation between the guys after Vin was fired, but I did talk to him and I know he appreciated that.

He was a great guy and a great friend, his laid back attitude and his overall personality was a nice change from Nikki who over thought a lot of things and could be quite particular about everything, him and Vin were so similar yet so so very different.

It's how they got on so well yet disagreed so passionately too, I do hope they can fix things, I miss the banter and hanging out with all the guys together, it'd be a gradual fix but one day I really hope it can happen and they can get back to how things were once upon a time.

They were meeting without their managers, it was just Nikki and Vince, they were meeting at a coffee shop and would talk. It needed to just be them, I was going with Nikki but I'd stay in the car until Nikki had said all he needed to say, then I'd join them and help them discuss what to do next.

Anyways, the meeting was tomorrow and since agreeing to the meeting, I've noticed Nikki's been struggling to sleep, even more so since Vinnie actually agreed to it. The closer it's gotten to the day, the later Nikki's been falling asleep or the earlier he's been waking up.

Insomnia was nothing new, he's struggled with it as long as I'd known him and I'd often stay with him at his place some nights because even before we were together he's admitted he always slept better if I was around and being his friend of course I'd stay with him.
