Love on the road Part 1

i sat on the couch in my livingroom, playing guitar and writing down a new lyric. The girls would come over tonight to see what i had written.
and to look if it would work or if we could make up some new riffs or solo's.
The funniest thing is, we are heavy metal women, but i totally love The Rasmus.
i've been their fan since 2001 and i just couldn't stop to listen to their music, they quiet inspired me to make the music i'm making now.
the girls and me started the band 2 years ago, and we are beginning the become a known band in The Netherlands.
and now was the thing, we are in a deadline for our new upcoming album Shattered Pieces, but we still needed one special song.
i just had this idea in my head, about a man, a man who would rock my world, playes guitar and you know stuff like that.
i bite on my pensil while i'm thinking about the next words i want to write.
then my phone goes off and i'm roughly disturbed out of my thoughts, so i pick up my phone and said " Lintugirl here "
"hi chick!, so ready to see us ? " said my friend on the other side off the phone.
i laughed and said "hi, Lenn and ofcourse you all can come over, you know that!"
" Alright, see you in 30 minutes, talk to ya later!, Bye!" Lenn said.
hung up again and looked at myself, "god, i look disgusted" i thought.
i wore an joggingpants and i sat in my big t-shirt of The Rasmus, i decided to wear something better and didn't smell like i just went out of bed.
i took an shower which pretty much made me feel a lot more better then ever. then i walked up to my wardrobe and took my leather trousers out of it, with an black shirt. i put it on and i felled much more comfromtable then i did before.
i looked at the picture at my wall, i smiled. Richard and me, best friends forever... Well that was what he thought we were, but i wanted a lot more.
he was just my dreamman, my heavy metal man.
i slowly started to imagine some lines in my head and i hummed them and wrote them on paper.

"There's A man on the stage
i wonder why he's looking at me
But he sings for me, like he knew i was
missing something.
I wanna Rock, please let me rock
i wanna Rock, just let me rock.

He's a heavy metal man,
someone i would like to have
he has tattoo's everywhere and
long long hair..
a heavy metal man, man, man"

with that the doorbell started ringing and i walked to the hallway to open the door.
"hi girls!!" i said.
"hi Alissaa" they said.
the band is formed of 5 women, me, known as Lintugirl , Lenn also known as Lennisa, Steel also known as Vikki, Rebel known as Rebecca, Sall known as Sara.
And the band is called The Bloodsisters, we made this name cause we are sisters of heavy metal, and you know we liked the way bloodsisters cause you get a kind of an attachment with eachother, so we took that name!
We met eachother in the pub, while going out with friends of us.
i was going to get some beers from the bar and Lenn started talking to me cause she liked an friend of mine, and i told her happily he hadn't someone yet.
Lenn already was friends with steel, rebel and sall and she introduced me that night to them and we inmidiatly got something incomment and that was the start of our band.
i'm the guitarist, Lenn is bassguitarist, steel is solo guitarist and Rebel is our drummer and sara our lead singer.
and in no time we started to get known in The Netherlands and after 2 years we are releasing our first album!

the girls sat down on the couch and i grabbed 5 beers out of the fridge, and handed them to the girls.
We laughed and i showed them the lyric i made.
They loved it, but i had to admit that i still had to finish it, but they didn't mind.
later in the evening, i sat again lonely on the couch, then i got a call, i looked at my screen and i saw Richard calling me.
Why was he calling me this late? i answered his phone and said "hi, why are you calling me this late? "
i heard him crying, my heart broke into two peaces. and i said "Are you okay ? want me to come over ? "
and he said " No, i'm not okay, i really can use your accompony...." and he started crying again.
i said " okay hang on, i will be there in 10 minutes! "
i quickly took my stuff with me, and at the same time i wondered what the hell was going on, he normally doesn't get upset that fast.
but anyway we are friends, and at this moment, he needs me more then ever i guess...
