As a bleary eyed and hungover Jade walked across the yard the next morning with Kenzo’s tack in her arms she couldn’t help but stop and laugh at the site in front of her. Which was Alicia gingerly trying to jump off the big concrete block they stood on to mount the horses a little easier and onto Odin’s back. It wasn’t going very well.

‘Do I need to fetch you a cushion Al?’ said Jade from across the yard through her giggles as she swung open Kenzo’s box, finding him all freshly groomed and ready for his morning outing.

‘A can of anaesthetic might be better’ she said, putting her foot back into the stirrup again and this time managing successfully to climb onto her horse, then shouting ‘OUCH SHIT!’ as she hit the saddle, and then heard her cousin in hysterics from inside her horses stable. A few minutes passed before the door swung open again.

‘So how much sleep didn’t you get then?’ asked Jade as she lead a tacked up Kenzo from his stable and walked over to the mounting block where Alicia was waiting for her.

‘About two hours, and I very nearly didn’t make it down to give the horses their breakfast because Corey refused to let me out of bed’ said Alicia, yawning right on cue.

‘Oooooooooooooooooooooh! And oooooooooh again!’ Okay girl, gossip time!’ said Jade as she adjusted her stirrups and then nudged her legs into Kenzo’s side to make him walk forwards over to the gate. They decided after the night and early morning they had both had it would be best just to take the horses on a gentle stroll around the grounds, Alicia being in so much sexually inflicted pain Jade thought it would be cruel to expect her to go jumping huge fences around the small cross country course built around the grounds of her estate.

‘You know when you’ve had so much sex you can, you know, still feel a dick there? Well I have that right now’ said Alicia as they rode down the path between Jo and Jade’s house to get to the field gate.

‘I get that almost every day hun’ said Jade with a little snort of laughter.

‘Still not used to your guy being hung like a donkey then I take it?’ asked Alicia.

‘That bit I’m used to, the fact that as he’s got older he’s got a much quicker recovery rate before he wants to go again is what nigh on cripples me!’ said Jade, reaching the gate and leaning down to slide the bolt to the side, her sweet horse helping her by nudging the gate open with his nose. ‘Good boy’ she said adoringly as she scratched his neck and rode through the gap, holding it open with her foot for Alicia to come through.

‘There’s a lot to be said for men over thirty isn’t there? I found that out earlier this morning! Jesus he’s so naughty!’ giggled Alicia.

‘Awwwww dude I’m chuffed to bits for you, at last you get laid!’ said Jade with a wink and a giggle.

‘Yeah, and I really like him too, I hope I wasn’t just a one night stand’ said Alicia with a small dark look suddenly creeping across her happy expression.

‘Oh hun, he isn’t like that. He’s such a nice guy that if he really wanted it to be a one night thing he would have told you from the word go, he’s always straight with people and he hates hurting anyone’s feelings so no, I really don’t think you were just a one night stand to him’ said Jade, slowing down an excited Kenzo as he began to jog and throw his head around, thinking they were going for a gallop. Meanwhile back at the house Jim was sitting with his head in his folded arms feeling very, very sick as Corey came booming into the kitchen larger than life.

‘GOOD FUCKING MORNING MY DUDE!’ he shouted, slapping both hands down on Jim’s shoulders and then laughing at him as he looked up and gave out an evil look.

‘Turn your volume down man, my head feels like it’s going to explode all over the fucking table’ Jim grunted, resting his head back down again and trying to fight the urge not to throw up.

‘Coffee?’ asked Corey, hovering by the machine.

‘Please. So I take it you had a good night then, or should that be morning?’ said Jim, getting up and going to the back door for a smoke.

‘Let’s just put it this way, now I understand exactly what you mean about Sicilian women, damn!’ he exclaimed, following with a long low whistle. ‘She’s a real bad girl’ he added, making Jim laugh.

‘Well I’m glad you both had fun last night while I had the pleasure of listening to every last goddamned moan!’ said Sid sarcastically as he walked into the kitchen, his eyelids heavy.

‘Coffee, now. And that’s for keeping me awake half the night’ he then said as he walked over to Corey and gave his pierced nipple the dreaded nipple cripple.

‘ARGGGGH YOU SON OF A BITCH!’ shouted Corey , slapping his head as he headed for Jim, who was quick enough to fold his arms over his chest. He wasn’t about to suffer the same fate twice in one month. Instead Sid kicked him in the thigh and then scooted across the kitchen out of the way from any reciprocating blows. Seating himself down he listened to Corey continue to talk about Alicia, and agree on the part of Sicilian women being demons in bed.

‘And how would you know monkey boy?’ asked Corey as he put down a coffee in front of him and then joined a chain smoking Jim by the back door to light up too.

‘Because I fucked one in Sicily you stupid ass head! How the fuck do you think I know?’ said Sid, shaking his head and taking a cautious sip of his coffee.

‘Who was she?’ Corey then asked.

‘A girl I hooked up with at the party, she was hot and I was horny as hell so go figure’ said Sid.

‘Did she have a name?’ asked Jim. ‘Or is she another to add to the list of women you can’t remember?’ he followed with.

‘Afraid she is’ said Sid, smiling at the memory and then laughing. He couldn’t very well say who it was now could he? He feared a black eye at the very least if he revealed that, and that was just what he’d get off Jade. So smiling to himself he listened as Jim and Corey talked on about the possible upcoming Metal Rage tour, wondering if the other three guys had got back to their email yet.

‘Well I guess I’ll go find out’ said Jim, throwing his cigarette into the big pot by the back door and taking his coffee with him down the hall to the office to boot up the computer, Corey following while Sid decided to go back to bed. And after they read the email replies Sharon Osbourne got a phone call just five minutes later to say Stone Sour had all confirmed for the Metal Rage tour. Jim couldn’t wait to tell Jade so forgetting his hangover for five minutes he went back upstairs and took a shower and then got dressed and waited for her in the kitchen to come back. Luckily it was just ten minutes before she rode back onto the yard with Alicia, having Bob and a girl from the next village over Natasha, who helped at weekends take their horses for them.

‘Wow, he’s awake’ said Jade as she walked back in after tugging off her long leather riding boots at the back door and depositing her things in the usual place between the double fridge and Jamie’s pet rats cage.

‘And he had news. We’re coming on tour with you baby!’ he said happily, watching Jade’s face light up, and then caught her after she had charged over from the door and jumped on him.

‘Yay!!! I don’t have to miss you like crazy for six months!’ she shouted, kissing him all over his face and then finally settling on his lips.

‘I know it’s great huh? Cuz I know I’d miss my woman way too much being away from her for that long’ said Jim, then kissing her again softly, sliding his tongue into her mouth and trying not to be put off by Alicia making retching noises from the corner.

‘Alicia go and find Corey, go on away with you!’ Said Jade before returning her lips to her boyfriends and loosing herself in a passionate kiss. After briefly going back to bed again with him Jade had to duck out and collect Jamie, and then bring her home and help her pack her things as her dad was in the UK to visit her that weekend and would have her until Tuesday. Jim, Corey and Sid had decided hair of the dog was the best thing to make them feel better, and Jade agreed to meet the down there later on with Alicia once yard duties were finished and children were collected. Jamie was just saying goodbye to Rupert when Stefan entered the yard through the back gate, walking over to where Jade was stood on the back step having a cigarette.

‘Afternoon baldie’ she said as Stefan gave her a smile. She was so in love with Jim that any feeling of hate towards Stefan had just faded away, what he did to her really didn’t matter now she was in the arms of the true love of her life, and planning to stay there for the future. She was glad she could be on friendly terms with him, for Jamie’s sake at least.

‘Hey you’ he said, cursing himself like he always did when he looked at what he had lost.

‘Little one is just saying goodbye to Rupert, so how have you been?’ said Jade, blowing a steam of smoke through her nose.

‘Yeah, alright. You?’ asked Stefan.

‘I’ve never been happier’ she answered honestly.

‘And I’m glad of that. I see now that he makes you a million times happier than I ever could’ said Stefan as he lit a cigarette.

‘Thank you. So how are things with Martha?’ she then asked. He had told her a few weeks ago that after the cheating incident he had struck up a relationship with ‘the dreadlocked flea bag’ as Jen referred to her as. Jade thought it funny as hell, but not as funny as what he was about to tell her, which was the real cherry on the cake.

‘It isn’t. We finished three days ago’ said Stefan.

‘Oh really? Damn dude, why was that?’ she asked, a certain ‘HA!’ in her voice.

‘She slept with some guy she met in a bar behind my back, and as a result gave me genital warts’ said Stefan, looking thoroughly embarrassed and also giving her that look of ‘Yeah, and I deserved it didn’t I?’. Inside, Jade’s inner child did the biggest happy dance in all eternity, while outside she remained calm and composed.

‘Well, hygiene was never really Martha’s thing was it? I suppose that extends to condoms too’ said Jade. She knew full well she was okay, she hadn’t been so stupid not to go and get tested for STI’s after learning of Stefan’s infidelities.

‘It would seem not’ said Stefan, just as Jamie approached.

‘So are we still going to London zoo tomorrow dad?’ said Jamie as she arrived at her fathers side and held his hand.

‘Yup, and today I’m taking you to get that snake you’ve been on at me to get for you’ said Stefan, watching Jamie’s face light up.

‘Woo hoo! My own corn snake, exciting! Bye mom, have fun tonight, ill ring you tomorrow love you’ said Jamie, reaching up to hug her mother before departing with her bag over her shoulder.
‘You behave for dad, love you too tiny’ said Jade, waving and watching until they had walked out of sight and then turning back into the kitchen, shutting the door and bursting into hysterics.

‘Oh lady karma, how you serve me well’ she said, throwing her head back and laughing again, and continuing to laugh with Alicia as they walked down to the pub to share the news with the three men at the table waiting for them.

‘Hah! Fucking cauliflower dick’ Jim exclaimed, making everyone laugh harder.

‘Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy’ said Sid, managing to stop laughing for long enough to take another swig of his drink.

‘I’ll drink to that, bastard deserves his dick to rot off completely’ said Corey with a sneer over his pint of beer. And with that all talk of Stefan and his little problem was cast aside as they all carried on drinking steadily in preparation for the gig they were going to in London later that night. Canadian band Strapping Young Lad were touring the UK and they weren’t about to miss it since Stone Sour had become good friends with them after touring Europe with the guys the previous summer.

So after finishing another round they all headed back to meet Jo and Jan, who was playing designated driver for the night. Luckily one of the three cars Jo owned was a Chrysler Voyager with a capacity for eight people, so fitting Corey, Alicia, Sid, Jim and Jade was no trouble at all. Alicia’s entrance to the show might have been though if Jo hadn’t rang the promoter and got her name added to the guest list. She wasn’t much of a metal fan, preferring classic rock and ska so that was why she didn’t have a ticket, but after Corey had badgered her into going she had agreed, and Jo had been helpful in securing her admission.

As they drove along the motorway Jade was quiet for most of the journey, leant against Jim and holding both hands around the arm he draped across her shoulders and just thinking quietly to herself as she felt his fingers softly stroking her side. It would be the first time that night that she and Jim would be going out as a couple in the rock community, and after the bashing she had received on the internet (which hadn’t let up when she had looked again that day) she did wonder what kind of reaction she would receive. So far Jim had come off very lightly compared to the torrent she had been the target of, and as he looked down and watched her brow crease slightly he knew what she was thinking, and pulled her closer in a reassuring hug. She did know however that no matter what anyone thought, she had him by her side and that was one thing she knew she could count on.

When they arrived in London Jo found a reasonably close NCP car park to the Brixton Academy and after parking up they all filled out and began the twenty minute walk around to the venue, joining the queue outside when they arrived at the live music venue. Even though all had a place on the guest list, none considered themselves above waiting for entrance just like everyone else so waited and chatted to fans as the line gradually decreased.

‘So are you two actually together then if you don’t mind me asking? You never know what to believe in internet land these days!’ said a young girl politely as Jim signed an autograph for her.

‘Yep, we are’ he replied simply, one arm still firmly around Jade.

‘Awwwww that’s wonderful! You make a great pair’ she said brightly, still buzzing from the fact she was standing next to a group of her assorted favourite musicians and chatting to them like friends.

They signed a lot more autographs and posed for pictures happily with the assembled gathering of people, some actually losing their places further down the line to come back and meet them before they were finally at the front and ushered on in by the man with the guest list sheet attached to a clip board, marking off their names as they passed him to be searched by security. And as they walked through the Apollo to the bar Jade could feel many sets of eyes burning her in the back of the head as she walked along arm in arm with Jim, leaving whispers in her wake.

‘Look! Jade Barry and Jim Root! See they are together! Shit there’s Corey Taylor, and Sid Wilson and Jo Slater! No Way!!’

‘Yeah but they might still just be friends though, they’ve been close for years remember?’
‘Erm, Emily, he’s got his hand on her ass. He’s tapping it’

‘Damn he’s a lucky fucker’

‘Yeah, she’s a lucky bitch. He’s sexy’

Jade overheard the last whisper and couldn’t agree more. He had his dark hair tied back off his face, making his incredible eyes stand out in the dim light. Any woman with eyes would notice how attractive he was. ‘And he’s all mine’ she thought to herself as she reached up to the hand over her shoulder, linking her fingers through it and kissing his palm as they reached the bar. More people turned to look and stare.

‘Ahh fuck it, let’s give them something to stare at’ said Jade, grabbing him by either side of his unzipped hoodie and pulling him down to her level before giving him a full on kiss right there in the middle of the line for the bar, hearing a few people whistle and shout ‘Wooooooooooooooooo!’

‘Behave’ whispered Jim when they broke for air.

‘I always do’ she said sweetly, turning and managing to squeeze her way into a gap at the front of the bar.

‘Yeah whatever’ said Jim, rolling his eyes as he turned back to talk to Corey.

After hearing how terrible the support act sounded from their place over in the far corner of the bar they decided to stay put until the headliners came on just after 9pm, and then got to watch from the wings of the stage since they had guest list privileges that extended to side and backstage access. And as she stood to the side of the stage in her lovers arms Jade felt like the rest of the world could slip away and she wouldn’t even notice, and whatever they said didn’t matter, all that mattered was she was in the arms of the man she belonged with at long last. Any negative comments, idiotic opinions or malicious gossip just didn’t matter anymore. What she had with Jim was so special nothing they could say would ruin her happiness.

‘You know, it was at the side of a stage where I first met you, so it only seems fitting that’s where we are when I ask you what I gotta ask you’ said Jim into her ear over the roar of the music. She turned in his arms and gave him a curious look as she smiled up at him.

‘I love you, you know that right? But also you know I don’t ever want to get married, and I know you never want to again, so I want to ask you this. Would you be content to be with me for the rest of your life? Would being with me but not being married to me be something you’d want to do forever?’ he asked her, his thumbs stroking her cheeks as he looked at how her azure blue eyes twinkled at him.

‘Yes, yes it is’ she replied, reaching up to kiss him as she felt his arms lock around her tightly. And at last she was 100% true to her heart, with the man she really did want to spend forever with. After all, they did have a certain history.

The End.

Epilogue – June 21st 2007 – Three days before the start of the Metal rage tour.............

‘Odin’s a cute boy! Yes he is! ‘PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFP!’ Said Corey in a jokey voice, blowing a big raspberry on his girlfriend’s horses muzzle as the gentle giant gave him a friendly shove. Being a lot stronger than Alicia, Corey had agreed to keep a hold of him while the vet checked him over after a leg injury during a cross country event which had left him with a tendon injury and Alicia with a broken wrist. He had almost had a heart attack at watching his girl get thrown right over the other side of the fence and Odin nearly landing on top of her as he had crashed down too, and was relieved when she had got straight back up again, taking Odin’s reins and hobbling off the course since her ungraceful dismount and subsequent broken wrist had meant she was disqualified from the competition, something that had royally pissed her off since she was running in third place up until then.

‘Okay Alicia he’s looking a lot better on it now but we’ll keep him on the meds for another seven days, and leave him on box rest too’ said Michael, the local vet.

‘He’s going to be like hell let loose when he’s ridden again, or gets out for a run in the field. Poor Bob, he’s the one with that job because of this thing’ said Alicia, knocking a knuckle to her plaster cast as Corey turned Odin around and walked him back into his box, taking off his halter and giving him a hearty pat on the neck before walking back out.

‘He’s got used to you being here and so have I’ said Alicia, putting her arms around her boyfriend and feeling a lump rise in her throat. They had become an official item just two weeks after Jade’s fathers party, and both couldn’t be happier, but at that moment they both felt great sadness at being parted from each other for the next six months, with Alicia only being able to visit for two weeks out of that time. But, it was inevitable that when you dated a musician you would lose access to he or she when they fulfilled touring duties, and this is something she had told herself from the word go.

‘You know I’ve got used to being here too. And I think after we’ve been together for a little longer I should look into getting myself a place over here, how about that?’ asked Corey, reaching for her hand as they leant over Odin’s stable door and watched him roll in his fresh straw bed.

‘Well Corey I do have a rather large apartment you know, you know that place you’ve spend almost every night at over the last three months?’ said Alicia with a little laugh. ‘What I’m asking is, even though I know you have to divide your time between here and Iowa because of your family, would you want to move in with me? I know it’s a little early, but everything just feels so right’ she finished with, turning to look at her man.

‘Hmmmm now, by hot ass little blonde lady who makes me happier than anyone in the whole world asks me if I wanna move in with her, Hmmmmm, however shall I formulate the answer’ he said sarcastically, resting a hand to his chin as he pulled a thoughtful face and then laughed as Alicia slapped his arm.

‘Just answer Taylor!’ she said, sweeping a few strands of stray hair off her un made up face.

‘Yes, I really would. Because Al I’ve realized something over the last few weeks’ said Corey as they held hands and walked away from Odin’s stable.

‘And what might that be then?’ said Alicia, reaching out and stealing his trilby hat and putting it on her own head.

‘That I couldn’t love anybody more, and that you annoy the shit out of me when you steal my fucking hat!’ said Corey, grabbing his hat back and pulling Alicia close to him.

‘You really mean that don’t you?’ she asked, her green eyes alight with happiness.

‘Yeah I do, and right now seems a good time to say this, even if the surroundings aren’t exactly romantic’ said Corey, making Alicia’s jaw drop as she saw him get down on one knee.

‘Alicia Karen DiMaggio, I know we’ve only been together a short time but I know the real thing when I feel it. I love you baby, will you marry me?’ he asked, looking so cute and nervous as an arsenal of tears began to roll down her cheeks.

‘Yes, yes I will’ she nodded as her voice shook and she cried even more as he got back up and lifted her into his arms, spinning her around and shouting ‘ARRRRRRGH SHE’S GONNA MARRY ME!’ ecstatically at the top of his voice as she laughed and cried at the same time.

‘I didn’t get a ring yet because I wanted you to choose it if you said yes, so before I go we are definitely going to get you sorted out with something suitably rock like’ said Corey, putting her down and then kissing her over and over. He never imagined just three months after seeing her in that incredible skin tight Versace dress he would be asking her to be his wife, but cupid had really bashed him hard on the head, Alicia was his soul mate and he had that confirmed to him every morning when he woke up and the first thing he saw was her. And as they both walked back into the house, one step closer to their married future together another couple were sat on Jade’s bed contemplating an outcome that might drastically change theirs...........

‘I don’t think I’ve felt so nervous in my whole life’ said Jade as she sat astride Jim, stroking his soft dark hair and resting her cheek to his.

‘I hear that’ said Jim, looking at his watch once again. ‘It’s just so unexpected, and to be honest I really don’t know if it’s something I want just now either, or ever to be completely honest’ he then said.

‘I know that baby, and I feel the same. I mean the timing is so wrong it isn’t even funny, and I just don’t know if I wanna put myself through all that again. I hated it the last time even though the outcome was the best thing in the world. But still, I just don’t know if I wanna do it again’ said Jade truthfully.

‘Well, whatever the outcome is, you know we’ll get though it together and decide what’s best for both of us. And you know I love you right? I love you more than anything JB’ said Jim, stroking her back and kissing her cheek. Jade sighed and leaned into him more, remaining silent with her thoughts as she rested her head on his shoulder and listened to him breathing, feeling his heart rate going faster as his nerves grew, just like hers had. After a few more moments of silence Jade spoke.

‘Is it a minute yet?’ she said, watching him check his watch.

‘It’s been three’ he replied, letting out a long breath and looking back at her.

‘I can’t look, I’m too nervous’ said Jade, covering her face with her hands and peeping at him through her fingers, smiling as he began to chuckle softly.

‘Okay, I’ll go’ said Jim, hoisting her off his lap and walking back into the bathroom, returning a few moments later with a white stick in his hand, and a big blue line right through one part of it.

‘Well, you’re pregnant’ he said, showing her the mark on the stick and wrapping his arms around her, showing her the support he would give her as they faced the next big decision in their life together........
