Chapter Text
Alice sighed as she looked up feeling let down yet again “you sure you don’t want to go?” Alex raised an eyebrow as he walked out of the bedroom “come on Alex I thought you liked Queen” Alex turned as Alice followed him into the room “you know exactly why I am not going to the show, I hate that Lambert guy” Alice rolled her eyes feeling frustrated "you don’t even give him chance, please for me.” Alex raised an eyebrow again as he turned away, how many times did he have to tell her "you’re not going!” Alice picked up her bag and rolled her eyes “you really think you’re stopping me, I’ve already lost my money on your ticket no way I’m losing more!” Alice picked up her phone and walked to the wooden door “don’t go out of that door!” Alice was sick of being told what she could and couldn't do after all it was her holiday as well “I’m going to that fucking concert” Alice walked out and slammed the door behind her.
Alice sat down with a bottle of cider and looked down at the stage with a huge smile on her face, She had booked good Seats for viewing the stage, as she was looking down at the stage she heard a voice next to her “no, god no” Alice looked up recognising the voice, she felt her heart race as she saw Tommy Joe Ratliff was sitting next to her “oh my god!” She could hardly believe her eyes. Tommy looked up thinking something was wrong when he saw the beautiful girl beside him. He paused for a minute as he admired the young girl’s features, her brunette hair fell down her neck and he was amazed at how long it was. The deep blue shade of her eyes was mesmerising and she had soft looking ruby red lips. Alice gasped feeling embarrassed as she felt her cheeks flush "oh gosh that was loud, I am so sorry! I just didn’t expect to be sat next to you” Tommy laughed slightly as he felt himself come back to reality “don’t worry about it, I’m used to that reaction” Alice looked down at her pocket as she took out her phone “could I have a photo with you please?” How could she pass up such a once in a lifetime opportunity? Tommy smiled as he put his hand on hers to take the phone, his hand lingered slightly feeling the warm soft touch of her hand before he took the phone “sure, smile” Alice looked up at the phone camera and felt a huge grin spread across her face as Tommy snapped a couple of photos for her, he handed her the phone back “thank you, Tommy, I didn’t mean to intrude on your personal time enjoy the show!” Tommy smiled as Alice put her phone in her pocket “oh it’s no problem, what’s a pretty girl like you doing here alone anyway?” Alice blushed as she looked back at Tommy feeling embarrassed yet again, “no one wanted to come with me and I wasn’t missing a chance to see Adam and Queen” Tommy smiled as Alice took a drink of her cider “it’s a great show” Alice nodded as she looked up “oh yea I watched a few periscopes, Adam is such a great fit with the band” Tommy nodded in agreement, as he looked at her “he sure is, hey I didn’t get your name?” Alice put her bottle on the floor in front of the empty seat “I’m Alice” Tommy put his bottle down next to her bottle “beautiful name” Alice laughed slightly as she tried not to blush “my mom was a big fan of Alice Cooper” Tommy swept his bleach blonde hair out of his face as he looked at her “she has good taste in music” Alice nodded as she put her bag under her chair “yea she brought me up on Queen, Prince, Bowie and more, you know all the good stuff” Tommy nodded as the lights went down in the venue “it was great talking to you” Alice had a huge beaming grin on her face after talking to one of her idols, as Alice picked up her drink, she leant over and whispered a Thank you to Tommy for the photograph they had taken minutes earlier.
Alice was grinning from ear to ear after an amazing show, as she bent down to pick up her bag she heard a familiar voice “enjoy the show” Alice looked up to see Tommy smiling at her “oh it was amazing!” Tommy smiled as he pulled some confetti out of her hair. As she felt him touch a strand of her hair a jolt of electricity ran down her back. Tommy looked at her hesitating slightly “do you want to come to an after party” Alice looked at him slightly shocked as she put her bag strap on her shoulder, she couldn't believe he was asking her of all the people he could ask, why her “wait are you serious?” Tommy nodded as he stood up “sure you seem sweet enough” Alice smiled as she followed Tommy taking out her phone to write a text ‘Alex, I’m going for drinks with some Adam fans, don’t wait up x’ Alice looked up as she put her phone away, Tommy was leading her towards a painted black door with gold lettering spelling out backstage “she’s with me” the security guard stood very tall and he had a very muscular build to him. He smiled as he let them both through the door "wait a minute!” It had just dawned on Alice where she was going, Tommy stopped and looked over at Alice who looked like she would pass out “what?” Alice looked at Tommy trying to keep calm “am I going to meet Adam?” Tommy laughed slightly "well yea it is his after party” she stood still for a minute shocked not knowing what to say “you aren’t going to freak out on me are you?” Alice took a deep breath to calm down, she shook her head and walked over to Tommy, she was determined to get through this sudden bout of panic and excitement. Alice was getting the chance to meet the one guy she looked up to, she took a few deep breaths and calmed down. “no I’ll be fine, just took me by surprise that’s all, I mean I wouldn’t have thought Adam wouldn’t like you inviting some girl you just met” Tommy shrugged as he turned and carried on walking “Adam’s a pretty cool guy when you get to know him” Alice had a huge excited grin spread across her face as she followed him “he does seem down to earth” Tommy nodded as he stopped by a large room with a table of drinks in it “he is, we can wait in here for him” Alice looked in the room and saw Brian and Roger sat on a couch enjoying a drink. Her breathing became short and rapid again as she looked at them sat there “is that..?” Tommy laughed and nodded as he walked in. Alice took two deep breaths again trying to steady her breathing and followed Tommy into the room. Brian looked up and saw Tommy walking over to the table of drinks “Hey Tommy, did you enjoy the show?” Tommy smiled as he grabbed two beers “yea, it was amazing as always Brian.” Alice walked in slowly feeling a little star struck “hey guys meet Alice, she was in the seat next to me during the show" Tommy handed her a chilled bottle of beer as Brian and Roger turned to look at her. Alice accepted the bottle of beer trying to steady her shaky hand, she looked down nervously at the crimson coloured carpet “come and sit down, did you enjoy the show?” Brian motioned to the empty couch beside him. Alice walked over feeling a lot more comfortable now he had spoken to her, she opened the bottle as she calmed herself enough to reply “it was amazing. I was brought up on Queen, I have always loved your music” she stopped talking suddenly worried she was rambling and would make a fool of herself. Tommy sat down beside Alice “are you two coming out with us tonight?” Brian shrugged as he looked at Roger “I don’t think we will tonight, we aren’t what we used to be you know” Alice smiled as she sat up straight “you’re only as old as you feel” Brian laughed slightly “well when I’m running around on that stage with Adam I feel my youthful self again, how about you Roger?” Roger laughed as he put his empty bottle on the table “yea he keeps me feeling pretty young” Tommy smiled as Alice put her bottle down on the table, she hesitated slightly then looked up “could I have a photo with you both please?” Brian smiled as he put his bottle down “of course” Alice let out her breath which she didn't even realise she had been holding in, Brian laughed as he watched her “you don’t need to be afraid to ask, it’s only a photo” Alice smiled nervously as she took her phone out “I didn’t want to be disrespectful and intrude on your downtime” Brian and roger both laughed “don’t be silly get over here and let’s get that photo” Tommy smiled and took the phone from Alice “here let me take it for you” Alice smiled as she went and sat between Roger and Brian, Tommy took a couple of photos, to be sure that at least one would be good “done, I took a couple they should be good” Alice smiled as she stood up “thank you so much” she walked back over to Tommy as Brian’s phone rang “better go take that, it was nice meeting you Alice” she smiled, as she took her phone from Tommy, Roger stood up and smiled “I better go see what Rufus is up to, make sure he's still behaving" he laughed to himself then turned to face Alice “it was nice meeting you” Alice smiled as they both left “nice meeting you both too, thanks for the photo and an amazing show” they both walked out leaving Alice and Tommy in the room. Tommy smiled as he went to get another drink “that wasn’t so hard was it” he laughed slightly as he grabbed a bottle for himself “do you want another?” Alice shook her head “I don’t really drink beer but thanks” Tommy smiled as he looked at the table “theirs vodka and tequila too?” Alice turned smiling “oh really what kind of tequila?” Tommy picked it up and showed her “should have known Adam would have Patron, he wouldn’t mind me having some would he?” Tommy laughed as he opened it and poured her some in a glass “of course, not theirs another bottle here” Tommy walked over and handed Alice the glass as Adam walked in “dam Tommy I am looking forward to Tonight” Adam looked up and saw Alice as the colour drained from her cheeks “oh hello” Tommy looked up “Adam this is Alice, I asked her to the after party” Adam smiled as he noticed how nervous she looked, he then walked over to the drinks “Hi Alice” she smiled taking a deep breath “hey” Adam laughed slightly as he poured some tequila in a glass “I don’t bite honey” Adam walked over to the couch where Brian had been sat, with a glass of tequila in hand he sat down across from Alice and smiled “we are heading out in 10 minutes, Brian and Roger have headed out all ready to meet Rufus” Tommy smiled as he picked up his beer “they’ve decided to come out then?” Adam nodded as he took a drink of his tequila “yea something about feeling young when they are around me” Alice coughed as she chocked on her drink a little shocked, Adam laughed slightly thinking it was the drink “tequila not for you honey?” Alice shook her head as Tommy laughed “they weren’t going to come out, Brian made a comment about being old now, Alice told them that you’re only as old as you feel and they both said that you make them feel pretty young” Adam raised an eyebrow as he looked at Alice “wow they listened to you, I’ve been telling them that since we started singing together” Alice laughed as she looked at Adam “I only said it because that’s what my mum said when she first saw them running around on stage with you” Adam smirked as Alice took a drink. A tall security guard walked into the room “Adam your driver is waiting” Adam smiled as he stood up and grabbed the bottle of patron “well the nights still young”
