Rock All Night

76




The show was a blast. Shanna and I hung out just offstage and drank champagne out of red Solo cups. She sang along with all the band’s hits, and even made me dance along with her. I’d forgotten how much fun she could be.

Derek even dedicated a song to her.

“I’ve got a friend visiting from New York, haven’t seen her in a long time,” Derek told the audience. “Her name’s Shanna – ”

At which point Shanna started Woo-wooooo-ing from the sidelines.

Derek laughed. “Her name’s Shanna, and though this song isn’t exactly the same as her name… it reminds me a lot of her.”

At which point they started playing ‘My Sharona.’

Shanna went crazy and started grinding against my leg as part of her dance routine.

Derek looked over like Heeey, niiiiice!

I just laughed and flipped him the bird as Shanna humped away.

After the show ended and the band showered up (even, miracle of miracles, Riley), Shanna turned up the partying to 11. She smoked out more with Killian. She kept grabbing Ryan’s ass, jumping in his arms, and trying to give him sloppy kisses. She didn’t exactly escalate the situation with Riley, but they must have come to some sort of wingman agreement, because the two of them went around the room and basically had three-way makeouts with at least a half-dozen hot girls.

I’m pretty sure I saw her snorting some lines of cocaine off an Olympic athlete’s bare chest (a dude, by the way).

When the party retired to the hotel, Derek got me on his back piggyback style, Ryan did the same with Shanna, and we raced through the hallways as Shanna whooped at the top of her lungs.

Only when hotel management threatened to throw us out did we go back to the band’s luxury suite – at which point Shanna passed out in the corner.

Riley looked super-disappointed.

Ryan looked relieved.

“Same old Shanna,” Derek laughed.

“She did do that the first night we met, didn’t she?” I remembered.

“She did,” Derek agreed, then whispered in my ear, “Want to go back to my room and do what we should have done back then?”

As Shanna would say, HELL yeah.
