Disclaimer: Trent unfortunately doesn’t belong to me *sobs* (do you really think I’d be sat at my PC if I owned him?? Lol) but Erin and some other people you won’t recognise belong to moi. I’m a poor uni student so don’t sue, I’m not making anything out of this!
Summary: Set during the Self Destruct Tour 94/95. Trent’s decision to ask his best friend Erin to come along for the tour has made them both ask the question ‘are we just friends?’
Feedback: Yes please, no flames though, they make me cry
Author's note: This is the first NIN fiction I’ve written in years, so I might be a bit rusty.
I’m always hitting writers block, so if anyone out there wants to throw some ideas my way, they’d be much appreciated! I would also be eternally grateful to anyone out there who would be willing to be a beta reader!
Prologue: Erin
Its funny how things are thrown at you that make you look at your life and think ‘am I really happy with this?’
I had had my ways of coping with things. Mainly my feelings for my best friend. Until then I could go and find a place to hide and try to forget how madly in love I am with him.
Then he goes and drops the bombshell, asking me to come with him on his upcoming Self Destruct Tour. God knows how many months I would spend being around him.
And what makes matters worse was that I had no reason for not going. Everyone told me I should go, it being one of those things you just couldn’t pass up. Not only that but my editor boss, who is always taking advantage of my friendship with Trent, was now asking me to write about this tour.
And after everyone else’s contribution, I couldn’t exactly say no.
Now I’m on the tour bus, writing in my diary while everyone else is relaxing. It’s the 23rd April 1994 and we’re on our way to San Francisco, CA for the first date…
The pen stopped writing, still posed on the paper. Erin leaned her cheek on her hand and looked out of the window, watching everything speed past the bus in one long blur. Her eyes didn’t see the endless stream of buildings and cars. She looked beyond them, wondering what on earth would happen on this trip.
Returning to her book, she set the pen writing again.
I keep wondering what’s going to be left of our friendship after this. I doubt he feels the same way… I don’t know if I can cope with being around him all day every day. Something is going to crack, I just know it…
Slamming the book shut, she pushed it off her lap. Covering her face with her hands, she took a deep breath.
“Get a grip, you stupid girl.”
Sorry its short, I just want to know if I should keep going. Is it good? Is it bad? Would you want to read more? I live for reviews so pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease review when you've read this! Thankies muchly!
