I’m in my dressing room with Ginger and Toni, two of my bandmates. They have no clue as to what is going to happen tonight. I’ve been with them both for such a long time. Ginger I’ve know since grade school. I close my eyes and picture her twenty years earlier, her hair in pigtails as we played on the monkey bars. She knows about Tommy Lee, but nothing else. I feel like I’m slightly betraying her.
A knock on the door. Its Jackson. He stands there looking more handsome then I remember. A knowing look sends my bandmates out. Time for the show to start,

“Hi Jackson, Glad you came,” I say as I put my hands around his neck. I reach up a give him a passionate kiss. He doesn’t pull away but brings me closer and something in his pull makes my heart race.
It’s a kiss I planned, but not the kiss I was expecting.

So the plan is set. It’s going to be the end of era, and there are things I will miss. But one rarely gets the chance to start over, and I’m lucky enough to be in the position to do so. I’ve made so many mistakes in this lifetime, that I don’t deserve one. It is what it is. There’s one last thing I need to do.

“Hey Jackson. Were playing tonight in DC. If you can make it your on the guest list.”
I hang up and look at Will sitting on the couch smiling. We added another whiskey bottle to the floor puzzle last night. He eyes me questioning the phone call.
“A friend. Would like to see him one last time.”

“You sure about this Sparrow? Once it’s done it’s done.” I don’t hesitate before nodding.

“Alright then, curtains up fellows,” Will says to the passed out card players from yesterday.

“We’ve got a show to put on.”
