Mel was already fucking sweating buckets just thinking of getting off stage as she powered through her third and hopefully last set of the night.

She had smoked beforehand of course, as was her usual routine, lighting up with her band mates before they all stepped on stage and stopped being stupid kids in college and into the rockstars they felt like once they started screaming into the mic.

And God, did she love the screams. The way those cute tiny girls out there would be rocking along to their sets and moshing around hard enough to scare away all the guys.

She especially loved the way they screamed when she flashed one of them a wink after seeing them blushing while she laid out the bassline for mayas drum solos, both of them were prone to purposefully riling up the crowd by leaning in close to each other and blatantly touching each other when the other was doing a solo.

Not that there was anything other than platonic affection there, Maya was taken, and Mel didn't particularly like sharing.

As the last song finally comes to an end with the wailing screams of the electric guitar, followed shortly after by the thrumming growl of her bass, and ending with an ad lib by the bands lead singer. Maya smashes the cymbals one last time, all of them huffing and puffing, panting and grinning as the set ends. and they file offstage to the back

Mel is immediately bee lining for the bathroom, gently placing her guitar, lovingly named melody, in its carry bag, custom made for the Ibanez bass her parents had bought her.

And she nearly trips and faceplants when she ducks under the doorway to the bathroom, her knees having collided with someones back, crying in the corner of the bathroom

Sobering up quicker than a line of coke, Mel is immediately crouching down beside the poor girl.

"Oh fuck. you alright there baby? What's going on? I need to call someone for ya?" she blurts out, her hands hovering over the girl in a rare display of uncertainty.

Her eyes narrow, she felt a tug in her chest, a mixture of irritation that anybody or anything would dare make this fucking hot girl cry, and a display of empathy that was all too familiar for her, she was fully ready to kick someones ass
