Life Goes On(Pt1)
JTE Journal September 24, 2023
I don’t even know where to began, in the past or the now.
I guess the past really holds to many bitter memories, well not all of them anyway. But for memories sake and that of my loved one, I’ll write them down, that way I won’t have to keep repeating myself for the next millennium. They can read the multiply journal's that line my shelves any time and get a sense of what our lives were like and what I hold dear.
I won’t go back as far as when we were all teenagers, basically we grew up together, learned a lot from each other over the years. When I say we, it refers to Sav, Rick, Phil, Vivian, Malvin and our dear friend Steve Clark, who passed away in the winter of 1991. The stories of those times together, have been told thousands of times already, all one has to do is use the wonderful technology that is available now.
I'll start in early 1993, the month escapes me now, but that's where is all began really.
It started out a very good year; we had an album out that charted at the #1 spot in many countries. The tour that soon followed was a blast, everywhere was sold out. We were in top form playing our hearts out. Oh, did I mention we were in a band...Def Leppard...ancient history, well not so ancient, we still love to entertain the fans whenever possible.
Like I said, it started out a very good year. Vivian was settled in, we were somewhat at ease with ourselves with the decision of him joining the band, after Steve's death. It was later in the year, that everything quickly turned to hell. About mid-year, if memory severs right, Sav started dating this woman and to this day, I can’t say that I liked her. Her name was Lacey Garrett and Sav was infatuated with her, had him enchanted, remembering it now. She followed us around the country, which wasn't an uncommon thing back then for the band. Fans did it all the time. But Lacey quickly become more than a fan and had her eyes dead set on Sav. In all our years together, I've never seen him quite so taken by a woman as he was with Lacey. He's normally shy, quiet, when it comes to meeting women and more times than not, has been introduce to them. Not when Lacey showed up, it was the complete opposite. I don't think the relationship was two months old, when both of them just up and disappeared right in the middle of the tour.
When the police were brought in about a week later to help find him, thus into our lives comes Detective Nick Knight, but I’ll leave that for later. I don’t remember how long she stuck around once he finally showed back up, a month later. In the months following, Sav had changed, he was not the same person as we all remembered. At the time, little did we know how he changed. The two of them liked to have drove us crazy with their playing and goofing around all hours of the night. They put a lot of tension in the band during those months.
Anyway once the tour was over. Sav and I got into an argument and he left with Lacey. I don’t know what happened to them or where they went. I flew back to Dublin without him, didn’t hear from him for months. He just showed up one night at the pub, looking a little worse for wear. If I knew now what I didn’t know then, I would never have followed him into the alley behind the pub. That’s the night it all made prefect sense to me. What brought about the changes in him, what Lacey had done to him.
Sav was a vampire. Shocked…yes. These creatures of the night don’t exist in this world. But they do…I found that out rather quickly. Of course he denied it, but I knew. The marks on my neck the next day told me everything I needed to know.
We went on a short club tour in late 1994, it was great. We loved being on stage. But there was something up with Sav during that time. None of us knew what and he wasn’t privy with any details. The last date on the tour Sav disappeared again. We didn’t think any thing of it at the time, until it grew into months, then years. Needless to say, I was beside myself with worry. I looked for him for 2 ½ years. Everyone kept telling me he was gone, maybe dead, but I didn’t believe them. You see, Sav and I have a connection, I can’t explain it, but it’s been there since we met. I put writing, the band, everything on the back burner. It’s hard to believe that I basically put my life on hold, just lived day in day out, hoping he would return. I missed him that much.
I’ll never forget the night he literarily stumbled through my front door, looking like death warmed over. It was then that I realized that my suspicion were right about him from a few years ago. No one could live with the kind of injuries he had.
I patched him up and he came clean about everything. Where he had been, who he was with and what happened to him in that time. Once again I was shocked to the bone at what he told me. In comes Nick Knight. The one man or vampire that really turned our lives upside down.
Nick was obsessed with Sav, from the moment that they met and he did everything in his power to keep Sav by his side, he would and did not stop at nothing. Even to go as far as threatening my life or using me against Sav to keep him close. Needless to say there was no love between Nick and I. I would have staked him out in the sun if the opportunity had ever risen. It puzzles me to this day why Sav kept going back to him, to endure his brutal and manipulative ways. I won’t go into everything that Nick had done to him, because I try not to think about it any more.
We finally settled down and started anew album in December1997, staying at Nick’s house in Holland . We really didn’t have choice in that matter. Well we did, but none of wanted to give Sav the Spanish Archer out of the band. So we dealt with it. Not happily, but we did. Very trying times those were. We never thought that we would finish that album. Thanks to Nick and his constant interference.
I came to realize in that time, Sav’s feeling for me, beyond that of friends. I’ve known him since we were 17 and never knew it. Um…well maybe I did. Sav is my best friend, a thorn in my side, my companion…..my lover. That’s right, you read those words right. We’re men and we’re lovers. He’s the only one that I have ever been with intimately. It wasn't easy in the beginning to accept the fact that I was attracted to him, denied it, buried deep in my subconscious until I was rudely reminded of it.
We had fought it for years or until Sav became a vampire, he stopped fighting it and perused me until I finally gave in. All the kissing and touching of the past, promises of the future, but yet to pass. All the heart aches we went through to finally share that night together was worth every minute. But we were never alone; it always had to be with Rebecca. Sav always told me, if it ever happened between us, it would have to be with a woman. His fear of taking it too far with me, kept us from being alone together. What I mean by taking it to far, was for Sav to bring me across completely. Although he had partaken in my blood many times in the past, he was always able to stop. Except for the night he completely lost control and came very close to his goal, to bring me across. Once again he stopped, but by then it was too late. I would eventually become what he is …a vampire.
Anyway….that first time that I made love to him was bliss. I’d never felt anything like it ever, nor will again. I’m not sure if it was the fact that Rebecca was there with us or having fought it so long, the desire overwhelmed us. And after that night our relationship was forever changed. Mind you, I never let Sav take me in that way…yet.
So after that we went back to Nick’s house in Holland , finally finished the album almost three years after we had started.
Everyone’s aware of what happened before the tour started, Marcus. I’d rather not go into that and never will. It’s a time I have buried deep in my mind, never to bring to the surface again.
I finally married Rebecca in May 2000, I wasn’t going to lose her again. She was carrying our second child on our wedded day and I had never seen her more beautiful than that night. The light of the full moon cast her in a light that was so bright, I thought it would blind me. The love I felt for her was like no other and never will be. Well I can’t really say that. I feel the same for Sav.
But our time together as a family was short lived. Halfway through the tour, I finally agreed to finish what Sav had started that night in Paris . To bring me across…completely. I just couldn’t take the pain of my ever-changing body anymore. It was now or I would die. So we left our families behind and went to Australia . That’s the first time we had been alone together. I was frightened, scared to death of the unknown, but Sav took all my fears away in every soft touch of his fingers and lips. Every loving word he spoke.
Never in my wildest dreams, did I ever think a man could bring out such desire and pleasure in me, but he did, he knew everything about me, where to touch, when to stop and calm my fears. I never knew what it was like in that capacity to be with another man until he showed me.
I think I better stop writing about that and get on with something else, just thinking about him in that way gets me stirred up. And I won’t go into details about anything else that happened in Australia , that’s some of the bitter memories. But I will say this, it brought Nick and I closer together, when in the past we were always at each other’s throats. I have a new respect for him now. Everyone will get a giggle from that.
I now walk in the darkness of night. Sav did bring me across, something he had wanted to do very badly, just not this soon. I have no regrets about it now, like I did in the beginning. It would have happened eventually, whether it was that time in Paris where it started or years later. And we both knew it.
