//------------------------------// // Sour feelings // Story: The Pain Inside // by Bakmah Genesis //------------------------------// "So what's this big suprise?" she heard Octavia say. Vinyl took another deep breath and walked out of the back room. "This useless piece of shit." she said as she walked out. Tavi opened her mouth then frowned. "What in the world is that?" said Tavi, pointing at the purple dress. Vinyl laughed. "Twilight held me down before I could escape." Vinyl turned to the six mares. "Do you mind leaving us alone?" she asked. "But we haven't started the party yet." said Twilight. "Yeah, well, tough shit." said Vinyl as she used a table to push the six out of the bar. "Like a seat?" she asked, bringing over two chairs and a table. The mare sat and stared at her. Vinyl sat across from her. "How are you, Tavi?" she asked the mare. Octavia looked down at the floor. "I'm fine. And it's Octavia." Vinyl took a shaky breath, but otherwise kept smiling. "What did you wish to succeed in coming here?" she asked. "Forgivness." she replied, the pain colouring her voice. "I don't know if you're the same but I can't go to sleep or wake up for that matter without crying. I love you, Tavi, and that won't change." Tears were rolling down her cheeks now. Octavia just looked blankly at her. "You do, do you? If you loved me that much you wouldn't tour every Damn month, you wouldn't drink and do ecstasy all the time. You wouldn't make me worry everynight. Until you can prove it, nothing will change between us." Octavia got up and walked forwards the door. Vinyl moved the table but otherwise sat there. "And it's Octavia." she said before leaving. Tears rolled down Vinyl's eyes as she silently wept. She held up the edge of her dress before she ripped it in half and threw it at the wall. She later her head on the table and wept. She heard the six mares walk in but she ignored them. "Vinyl, what happened?" asked Twilight. "More importantly, what happened to my beautiful dress!" cried Rarity. Vinyl sighed and wiped away tears. "I'm an alcoholic and an addict. I tour once a month and party every night. I come home at two and puke till four then I sleep till ten. She left three years ago for that reason. She cares about me but can't take my self-abuse." she sighed and sat her head back on the table. Rainbow walked behind the bar. "Want a drink? I can make a good jack-coke." she lifted up a bottle of Jack Daniels. "No." she said, lifting herself off the table. "No more alcohol, no more ecstasy, no more partying everynight, and maybe no more dubstep." She heard the mares gasp. "But, Vinyl, your special talent is dubstep." said Twilight. Vinyl shook her head. "I'm like Tavi, my talent is music." she started to walk out the door. "If I have to prove it, then by Celestia, I will." She walked out of Sugercube Corner, leaving the six mares to stare at her.
