Skatin’ The Stress Away 🛼💫
Jason and I have been friends since high school, I kept up with him when he started playing in Flotsam and Jetsam, and am still keeping in touch with him now. Recently he got a new incredible gig as the new bassist for Metallica. He was stoked to be playing with a band he looked up to. Until they started to show off their true colors, and take out their grief of their recent bassist, who unfortunately passed away, on him. He’d call me sometimes to catch up but instead got on the phone in tears of frustration from beaten he felt.
Tonight, he called around 7 minutes ago on a pay phone, and sounded a bit stressed out. Of course me being me I offered him to come visit to try and help get his mind off things.
I hear him knock at the door and as soon as I open it he’s practically in tears.
“I can’t take it anymore, they are just so rude, I don’t think I can do this…” Jason confesses on the verge of tears.
“Hey, hey…” I reply as I look up with sad concerned eyes and take his hands, pulling him inside.
He let me pull him inside as tears welled up in his eyes, I’ve never seen him like this, he looked so sad and so hurt. Once we were in the living room he sat on the couch, he looked like a beaten puppy. I couldn’t help myself and leaned in to give him a tight much needed hug. He hugged back tighter, burying his face into my shoulder, and just started sobbing. He let out all of his emotions, the pain and hurt, all of it.
“It’s alright…” I say softly In a soothing tone.
Jason just kelt sobbing, clutching onto me tightly like a scared kid. The pain and hurt of what the guys said, feeling overwhelming and betraying. He felt alone, but he felt better knowing that he still had me to turn too. I ran my hands through his brunette curls and rocked slowly side to side. I can feel him start to calm down, his sobbing now turning to just soft sniffles. I can tell he doesn't want me to let go, that he just needs time to feel safe in someone’s arms.
“…its not fair of them to take their grief out on you... you're only human and are doing your damndest to help them out. No one can fill Cliffs shoes because no one is Cliff. What happened in the accident was tragic, but they can't take it out on you and blame you for something you weren't even there for.”
I watch him nod as he listens to me. He knows I’m right, but the fact that they’re taking their grief out on him still hurts so much. He takes a shaky breath as he tries to calm himself down.
“They act like it's my fault, they blame me for not being as good as Cliff, for not living up to his legacy.” He mutters with a sniffle.
“No one can live up to him! And I can guarantee you that Cliff wouldn't stand to see his own band mates treat you like this if he were still here,” I exclaim in frustration on Jason’s behalf.
“I know… you’re right, but it’s hard you know? I’m doing my best I can, but I feel like I’m failing them… failing Cliff…” he admits sadly.
“Jase… you aren't... you're doing what you can to haul ass within a month to learn the songs, the riffs, and everything else to keep the band alive, and you are doing amazing!! Truly amazing!” I enthuse as I pull back to look at him with nothing but pride in my eyes.
I watch as he nods with a quiet sigh my words clearly getting somewhere to help ease the pain on his poor heart.
“Thanks, Etta. I’m just exhausted, I’ve been learning everything day ‘n night and I’m trying to nail Cliffs parts, to try and be half the bassist he was, but it feels like no matter what I do or how hard I try it’s just not enough,” his self doubt creeps into his voice and I can’t help but wish I could take all the hurt away, the stress and just see Jase happy again.
“No one can be Cliff… no even the best bassist on the planet could be, but what you can be is yourself. Show off YOUR talent while bringing your own Newsted flair I to the band and do what you can to show them what you, Jason, can really do.” I punctuate with a glimmer of confidence.
I watch as he nods, knowing that now I’ve gotten through to him, we’re finally getting somewhere.
“You’re right, I can’t be Cliff. I can’t keep trying to be him, I need to bring my own talent to the plate, not try to fill the shoes the guys want me to fill.” He finally cracks a smile and glances up at me before continuing on. “How do you always know the right thing to say? You always make me feel so much better.”
“Maybe a lucky guess, but mostly common sense and intuition,” I say looking up at him with my soft smile.
He smiles back, fully this time and lets out a weak chuckle in return.
“Common sense, huh? We you should bottle that up and sell it,” he scoffs leaning in close beside me.
“Jase…” I pipe up.
“Yeah?” He looks up at me with his big curious puppy eyes, still reddened from the tears.
“If you wanted, you can spend the night, I mean I don’t mind,” I offer.
“Yeah….. l'd like that. I don't think I want to deal with the others right now... they're probably all just gonna be pissed off and take it out on me again...” he nods at my offer.
“Tch… Men,” I scoff and roll my eyes playfully.
“Yeah... men- especially the kind who are angry, grieving and don’t know how to handle their emotions…” he says with a bite to it.
I chuckle softly and pull him close. I can feel him relax as I give him one of my special hugs he loves so much.
“Thanks Etta… you’re always there for me, even if I’m a crying mess,” Jason adds.
“…because I love you… even when you’re a crying mess,” I can see the shock in his eyes at my unexpected admission.
“You love me..?” He asked softly looking into my eyes with hope.
“Well yeah, you mean everything to me, seeing upset makes me upset. I don’t wanna see someone I care about hurt… I just wanna let them know that when they’re hurt that I care about them…” I mumble softly.
“I…I love you too.” He whispers softly before leaning in pressing a soft kiss to my forehead.
I feel my heart pounding in my chest just like when I was in school. It reminded me of the night him and I would walk to class and I’d get lost in conversation completely with him. I never stopped thinking about when we hung out all the time, it holds a really dear place in my heart.
“You know… funny thing is before you called I was actually gonna go out roller skating tonight… did you wanna come with?” I ask with a cheeky smile.
“Roller skating, huh? God I haven’t done that in a while…” he pauses for a second and I notice his hand is now holding mine. “Yeah, I’d like to go, it’ll be a good distraction from this”
“Yes!! Then I gotta show you my new skates!”
I quickly shot up from the couch beside him, ran to the other room grabbed a box and sat back down. I opened the box excitedly and showed him the roller skates. They were baby pink with fuchsia wheels and laces.
“Woah… those are some pretty awesome skates,” he smiles at my amusement and sudden burst of energy.
“I go out with Aliyah and Fallon every Tuesday night, I know today is t technically Tuesday but I’m still more than willing to go with you,” I smile and nudge him softly.
“Hey I’m not complaining about going skating on a different night. I could use some distraction today regardless,” he chuckles.
“The rink is where the old corner store used to be, right down the block from my old house,” I mention to him with a sweet smile.
“Yeah, I remember that store. We always grabbed snacks from there every time we hung out. I think the manager knew our names from how many times we came in,” he reminisced a bit.
“I wouldn’t be surprised,” I chuckled.
I stand up and grab my bag, Jason follows suit and I can tell he’s much more at ease knowing we’re going to do something that doesn’t involve the guys stressing him out. My hope is that he forgets about what happened, even for a little while and takes care of himself. I grab my bag as well as my skates and lead Jason outside.
“Do you wanna take my car? I still drive decent I promise!” I question with a chuckle.
“Yeah- gets me out my mess a bit more,” he nods before grasping the handle of my sedan and getting in the passenger side.
I hope in the drivers seat shitting the door behind me and buckling up. I turn over the key and my silver Renault Alliance grumbles to life. Blondie starts playing on the stereo as we drive off.
“Hope you don’t mind the mixtape, you know I’m not into thrash as much as you,” I chuckle admittedly.
“Nah- don’t worry about it Ett. I’m just glad to get away and hang with you again, I really miss when we did this,” he admits with a nostalgic smile.
“I do too! I know you’re schedules been insane from Flots and Jets, but now that your in Metallica it feels impossible to schedule something. Thank god for pay phones though, huh?” I giggle.
“Oh for sure,” he laughs.
As I drive, I feel his hand rest atop mine on the center console. I smile and feel my heart flutter in my chest.
“This feels like our drive to prom” I break the silence with a chuckle.
“Kinda does… guess it’s like our second prom then huh?” He responded
“Guess so I hope you mind I’m not in a fancy dress,” I boasted.
“You could were a potato sack and I wouldn’t care Ett,” he declared.
“Oh~ is that so? Now I’m holding you to that”
We shortly arrived at the rink, and made our way inside. For a Wednesday night it wasn’t badly busy. We got our stamps for the ‘8pm-10pm unlimited skating food and drink’ before we made our way to a table. As soon as we get settled Jason starts putting his rental skates on and I head over to grab us drinks. I order myself a wine cooler and I get him his favorite beer. While I’m there I put in an order for pizza and some fries. I walked back with a pep in my step knowing Jase and I get to hang out like old times.
I set his beer in front of him and my cooler down on my side before taking a set and putting on my skates. Footloose starts playing on the speakers overhead, Jason stands in his skates still trying to get the feeling of them once again. I tie up my laces and smile before taking his hand.
“You ready~” I smile nice and big.
“As ready as I’ll ever be! its gotta be like riding a bike, right?” He says with a bit of nervous laugh.
“Trust me it’s not bad… try it on the carpet first,” I move out to stand in front of him my arms ready to snap forward if he falls.
“Okay…here goes nothing-“ he slowly takes a first step before letting himself glide over the carpet a bit more. I smile up at him with an encouraging nod as I back closer to the rink floors’ entrance.
“There you go, you got it!” I enthuse.
He then puts his other foot forward and slowly repeats the process as he slowly glides towards me.
“I’m definitely not better than a fawn on ice, but I think it’s coming back to me,” he explains with a smile.
“Well it’s a start, you ready to try it on the rink?” I ask as I take his hand in mine.
“Yeah, let’s go,” he looks up at me and gives my hand an affirming squeeze.
I step up into the rink, keeping a hold on Jason’s hand as he steps in too. We take it at a slow pace for the first few laps, enjoying the music and watching others sweep past. I don’t mind the slow pace whatsoever, it’s truly a dream come true.
After a couple laps Jason starts to get a handle on skating again so I decide to show off a bit. I let go of his hand, skate a bit ahead and turn to face him. I then begin to skate backwards with ease as I dance a little bit to the music.
“You little show off~” he said with a smirk as he skated towards me.
I laughed and twirled a little bit as Crocodile Rock by Elton John came on. I slowed a bit so he could catch up and hold my hands as we skated. I couldn’t stop the smile and giggle from showing up, and neither could he. I watched as his hair blew back from us skating together we sang alone to the song and at one point he actually glided us out of the way of the others and carefully twirled me around in his arms. I placed a quick peck on his cheek once in his arms, then quickly turned and skated off with a chuckle.
I turned to face him, watching as he pushed off towards me. I gestured for him to come here with my finger, biting my lower lip a bit before skating out of the rink back towards our table. I sat down and watched him catch to me.
“I saw one of the waitresses drop off our food,” I giggle as he sits down.
“Oh, so you weren’t just trying to get me to chase you around?” He accused with a smirk as he took a couple fries.
“Me?! Nooo… I would never do such a thing~” I respond sarcastically, taking a slice of pizza.
I quickly realize just how hot the slice is the hard way and open my mouth to quickly pant in attempts to cool it down. Jason glances up and laughs a bit.
“That’s why you sneak pepperoni off it first to see how hot it is before going full throttle,” he shakes his head with a smile before sliding me my wine cooler.
“Yeah- I really should’ve,” I manage to finish the bite and cool off my slightly burnt tongue with a sip of my drink.
“At least it’s not like the cold pizza we got from Alley nights. God those were so bad we were lucky if they came out warm.”
Jason was referring back to when we used to go to the bowling alley on Saturday nights with a couple of friends from high school. Those nights were where all the shenanigans and our inside jokes came from. The amount of times we almost got caught drinking underage, trying to break the arcade games, and also reusing free rental shoe coupons was unbelievable. The cops could’ve and should’ve been called plenty of times, but thank goodness we were a “be stupid in a smart way” kind of group.
“God those pizzas were so bad! I never understood why Kenny kept ordering them after we told him how many times that we wouldn’t eat them-“ I recalled.
“He totally got karma for it though, when he tried to get with Nancy,” he cackled and sipped his beer.
“Yesss!!! That was with the soda right? Cause Shanice said something so random that him bust up, then Fanta shot out his nose and got all over!” I added.
“Yeah, And Nancy’s face was priceless! I couldn’t tell if she was shocked or grossed out- probably a bit of both. I’ll never forget on Monday at school, he told me he could still smell oranges,” he chuckled.
We both laughed as we reminisced about our late high school years and all the shit we got into back then. It was truly wondrous to sit with him and think back about the chaos and great memories we made with our friends.
“I’d have to say though out of all the memories of us in high school my favorite is soooo cliché,” I admit as I steal a fry.
“Well even if it is, I’d like to hear it,” he declares.
“Our senior prom, more specifically when you decided to step out of that shy guy facade, and slow danced with me on the courtyard,” my cheeks reddened a touch after I spoke.
A smile crept onto his face as I recalled that night. His eyes met mine across the table and he reached over to hold my resting hand.
“Yeah, yeah I remember that… you looked beautiful that night… I-I mean you still do- I just meant like then it was-” he stammers with dusted pink cheeks.
“Jase-“ I interrupted.
“Y-yeah?” He looked back up at me.
“…i know I said earlier that I loved you and cared about you, but I need you to know that ever since prom… I love you… like I really really love you, Jase”, I admit grasping his hand tighter as I watch his expression.
His eyes glance between mine, his pupils blown out a touch, his hand squeeze mine a bit as his lips part to speak but then nothing comes out. I feel a wave of fear wash over me and try to get a response so I know I didn’t ruin this.
“Jase… I’m sorry, that came out too-“
I was abruptly cut off when he reached over the table and his lips crashed against mine. My eyes widened in utter disbelief and I let out a noise of surprise. My body was tense from the sudden motion, but before I knew it my body felt like it was warm and tingly all over. My heart raced in my chest, as my eyes fluttered closed and my lips moved together with his. God this was heaven come true. All these years of falling hard for someone, all this time of keeping in touch and my dreams finally came true. To kiss the man who was always there for me, and was still my best friend after all this time.
We eventually pulled away, but our hands were still together. I fluttered my eyes open and looked up at him in a daze. He did the same and his stunning ocean eyes met mine again.
“Etta… I love you too.” He whispered with his sweet smile that never failed to light up a room.
“You have no idea how scared I was for a second there-“ I sighed in relief.
Jason chuckled and squeezed my hand lightly.
“Trust me I think I was more scared than you with the fact that I made the move,” he reassured.
I chuckled a bit before listening to the new song that was on. I smiled hearing that it was a song Shanice, Nancy and I danced too at prom, Get Up Offa That Thing by James Brown, which I remember made Jason flustered because of how I was dancing.
“I’ll be back~ I’m gonna go dance,” I quickly get up gliding into the rink with a new found sense of confidence.
I started with simple glide to the right then the left, I added a bit more of swing to my hips as I flew past. I jumped so I was skating backwards, I danced and looked at Jason mouthing the lyrics. I watched as he scoffed with a smirk. I eventually turned around and as I rounded the rink entrance by our table he came onto the rink, grabbing my waist gently from behind and danced along with me.
“You drive me insane, you know that?” He purred into my ear.
“Maybe~” I replayed in a sing-song tone to tease him more.
“You cheeky devil~” he kissed my cheek and I felt my heart flutter behind my ribs.
We skated for a little while longer getting 3 more songs in before the rink announced it was 10 minutes until 10pm. We headed back to our table, took off our skates, and cleaned up the table. I waited for Jase to return his skates to rental counter before him and I walked out to my car hand in hand. The night sky was gorgeous and I couldn’t be happier with our night.
The drive home was filled with the two of us belting out my rolled down windows and holding each other’s hands tightly. Once we made it back to my place I couldn’t help but feel giddy as hell, as we walked in exchanging flirty banter and soft kisses.
Once the door closed behind us I set my bag down on the couch, Jason took off his shoes and jacket and walked over to me. I turned to face him and wrapped my arms around him. He smiled pulling me in until our lips connected once more. I felt his tongue slowly graze over my bottom lip and mine parted to invite him in. As soon as our tongues touched I instantly felt my body melt into his. I felt weak in the knees as our tongues swirled and melded together, both of us connecting in such a way I’ve never felt before. I gently moved to tug him down the hall towards my room. He got the memo instantly, and pulled away to catch his breath as he glanced me up and down. My hands moved down from his shoulders, over his chest and to the bottom hem of his shirt. He lifted his shirt off, and mine followed suit ending up on the hallway floor.
I laid back in bed pulling him down with me. He leaned down, his lips trailing from behind my ear all the way to my clavicle peppering hot open mouthed kisses, only to stop occasionally to nip my soft skin. I tilted my head to the side with a soft gasp, giving him more room to mark me as his. I grasped his bare toned back and felt his own hands reach down to the waistband of my shorts.
“I sit okay if we do this baby…” he spoke softly between kisses.
“Mmnnn… Yes… god I need you Jase… please,” I beg letting out a soft moan.
He pulled off my shorts and panties, tossing them on the floor. I couldn’t help but feel my face burn red from his eyes seeing my bare skin for the first time. His gaze roamed over my skin along with his hands that gently caressed my bodies dips and curves. His touch made my breath hitch. It felt electric as he kissed down my stomach, my hips, and to my thighs. My head fell back against the pillows as heat flowed straight down to my core.
“…God… you’re so fucking beautiful Etta,” he murmured as he carefully parted my legs.
I felt his hand hold mine as he moved to look me in my eyes.
“Do you want me to keep going…?” He whispered softly as his fingers laced with mine.
“I wanna feel you Jase…I want to go all the way,” I say with need in my voice.
His lips meet mine again in a kiss that made it feel like we were the only two people in the world. I tangled my fingers in his curls as he reached to unclasp my bra. He pulled away, tossing it aside then sat back on his knees He pulling off the rest of his clothes. I watched as he went down between my legs. His tongue swiped up against my core and I moaned out loud grasping his hair in my hands. He groaned in response to me, he took his time lapping up my entrance and sucking gently on my clit. His eyes flicked up to look at my knitted brows and slack jaw from the pleasure. His tongue slid inside my core as his calloused thumb moved to trace circles over my swollen clit.
“J-Jase don’t- ahhnn~ don’t stop- ’m c-close,” I whimpered as I pushed his head down.
He felt my hips buck against his face as he kept his even pace. I felt a knot form in my low stomach and moaned out his name as I came undone. He flicked his tongue a bit longer letting me ride out my high before coming back up to meet me once more. As we kissed I could taste myself on his lips. He pulled away resting his forehead on mine before I felt him slowly slide himself inside.
“Ohhh g-god… you feel so fucking good around me…” he groaned before moving to kiss at my neck.
After I took my time to adjust to his size he slowly pushed his hips further in before pulling out. The pistoning motion was slow and deep. I felt every ridge of his cock slide against my soft walls, he took his time making sure he hit every spot inside that made me cry out his name.
“J-jase don’t stop… please don’t stop,” I moaned out as I clawed his back.
“I won’t baby… mmm~ I’ll make you come undone again,” he growled into the crook of my shoulder as his hips rocked into mine.
I felt the knot from before creeping up in my low stomach, this time it felt deeper more intense than before. It was pure heaven. Jason kept his even pace as I rode out my high then shortly after pulled out and came on my stomach.
“F-fuck- ha-huh.. baby… god you’re so perfect…I love you so much…” he leaned down once more and give me quick kiss.
“I love you too baby…” I murmur back with smile.
He gets up and heads to bathroom to get a damp rag. He comes back to clean me up, tosses the rag in my hamper and crawls under the covers to cuddle up beside me.
“Does this mean that we’re…” he asked softly showing a hint of vulnerability
“Together? Well yeah, I thought we were a thing ever since you kissed me at the rink, and if we weren’t then, we better be after that,” I said with a breathless sigh and looked into his eyes.
“I love you baby…” Jason spoke with a sweet smile as he wrapped his arms around me.
“I love you too Jase… and I’m glad that instead of dealing with the guys you got a girlfriend instead,” I chuckled and he smiled back at me.
“Yeah guess so~” he paused for a second running his hands through my hair before speaking up again.
“Etta do you wanna go on tour with me…” he questioned softly.
“Really? You want me to come with you?” I replied in surprise.
“Of course I do, I mean I don’t wanna leave my girl behind…”
“Well I’m that case I think I’ll take you up on that… for now though, let’s just cuddle baby,” I smile before yawning and nuzzling into his arms.
“Goodnight Etta… I love you,” he whispered softly holding me close.
“I love you too Jase, G’night,” I whispered back as I closed my eyes.
