Chapter 1

Wallace remembered how Scott was after Envy Adams dumped him. He hadn’t had the best luck in love, his first ever girlfriend they were hot and heavy but once he went off to college they couldn’t make the long distance thing work. They are still friends though, even play in a band together.

Envy was something else, she didn’t just dump him she brutally dumped him, ripped out his heart and stomped on it with designer heels. Scott was a wreck and Wallace was left picking up the pieces. He didn’t get the full details but Wallace never cared for Natalie, and Pilgrim didn’t wanna talk about it.

She actually dropped out of school once a major label signed her, Scott hadn’t wanted to do that so she kicked him out of the band he started. The other band mates were blinded by fame and fortune, siding with Envy. It was a bad decision as Envy would cut them to, sooner or later.

Truth of it was Envy cheated on him, multiple times, more then even Scott knew about. It was a low blow given how in love Pilgrim was with her, and she used him. He forgave her, and she kept on cheating and using him.

“Scott you ever think you are looking for love in the wrong places?”

“What places am I supposed to look for love? In a library? A park?” Wallace face palmed.

“No you dork, I’m talking about finding love in the wrong places.”

“Where else am I gonna find love?” Another face palm.

“With a guy you idiot.”

Scott’s eyes widened. As if the idea had never crossed his mind before and the concept was new to him. Odd given how many times he’s walked in on Wallace fooling around with guys in the past. “Oh yeah!”

Wallace helped Scott on his journey of self discovery, he had a special skill for awakening men, it was a gift.

Pilgrim started a new band, Sex Bob-omb and was trying to launch them, while crashing at Wallace’s place. Things were going well, they even got a few gigs at different clubs. Stephen Stills, lead vocals and guitar, Scott Pilgrim, vocals and bass, Kim Pine, Scott’s first ex and drummer. There was also Young Neil, the band’s biggest fan, he helped set up.

Stephen was upset as one of their gigs got canceled, with no explanation. Said explanation was Envy, her new band The Clash at Demonhead decided to show up and perform, Envy’s star power had Sex Bob-omb bumped for the slot. How did Scott find out, Envy sent him a damn invitation!

“Toss it out.” Wallace said.

“Oh come on, things are different now, maybe she wants to make peace.”

“Throw it out.”

“But I worked things out with Kim, now we are best friends.” Scott got lucky with Kim, they split on far better terms, and Scott was a way better friend to her. She was also a good female friend for him.

“Toss it out, that bitch is nothing but trouble.” Wallace warned. Envy broke Scott, mentally and emotionally.

“Come on Wallace, they are playing at the Red Light!” Wallace raised a brow.

“Fine, but you aren’t going alone. I’m coming with you!” Scott hugged him.

“Thanks Wallace!” He rolled his eyes.

The Red Light was a hot club and a popular hook up spot, there was live music, fancy drinks, and they offered a form of kiss cam, that let whoever get it on for 5 minutes of fame and an hour of free drinks, but if there’s no kiss they pay double. Plus there was the public humiliation factor.

Wallace just wanted to cruise the club scene since it was typically booked up. He’d watch Scott’s back to of course.

His instincts told him this was a bad idea though, and he was right. Ency didn’t invite Scott to make peace, she called him out to show off her old/new boyfriend. Todd Ingram, the two knew each other, and were on again off again, which is how they justified their constant cheating.

Envy didn’t cheat on Todd, they were on a break, Todd didn’t cheat on Envy, they were just on a break. His attitude got worse as he believed he could get away with anything being a rock star. Todd had women throwing

He was also sleeping with Lynette Guycott, but she knew she was the side piece and was okay with that since sex with Todd was very nice!

To the public they were a power couple, a tale as old as time the lead singer and the base/guitar player. He had actually picked this club, Envy had agreed to this just so she could show up and rub it in Scott’s face how successful she was. Poor Todd had no idea.

“Hey Natalie.” He greeted and she glared at him.

“It’s Envy now!” She flipped her hair. “So you got my little invitation.”

“I did, it’s good to see you.”

‘Is it?’ Wallace thought.

“I want you to see my new boyfriend, Scott, meet Todd!” She grabbed him and pulled him over.

“Sup!” He said with a curt nod.

Scott returned it. “Hey!”

Envy pressed herself to him. “Todd’s amazing, he’s bigger, stronger, and a way better musician then you were.” He smiled at the praise, unaware Envy was just using him to show off.

Wallace glared at her. ‘Jeez, why don’t you talk about how good he is in the bedroom to what the fuck.’

“That’s...nice…” She smirked and pulled Todd in for a kiss, the two going into a full make out session.

The kiss broke for another attack. “I heard your band got bumped because of us, SO sorry about that.” She wasn’t sorry, her voice was dripping with sarcasm.

‘She’s so sweet.’ Todd wasn’t good at picking up sarcasm, at least from her.

“Anyway, it happens we’ll play here another time. You look good Envy.”

“I know, and I feel even better!” Once again she pulled Todd into a heavy make out session.

“Look I just came to ask you about something. Are you happy?” She stopped kissing Todd.

“Excuse me?”

“Are you happy?” He asked again. “If you’re happy, then I’m glad and I’m sorry I wasn’t the one, but if you’re happy, then I’m happy for you.”

Envy looked shaken by the comment. Wallace remembered their dating life, believe it or not, Scott was a good boyfriend to her, but she wasn’t satisfied with what she had. Always wanting more, be it clothes, shoes, bags, or dick. “What are you saying, of course I am, I got fame, money, a hot piece of ass for a boyfriend.” She said, slapping Todd’s ass and making him jump. “I’m a famous singer, my life is perfect!”

Wallace noted she didn’t say the words “I’m happy!” or any assortment to that effect. Scott nodded. “Okay, I’m happy for you.”

“Ugh!” She got pissed and stomped off.

“Well that was eventful.” Wallace said. To his credit Scott had done a lot of growing up since they broke up, Wallace had been his friend and life coach to get him through it. “Can we go.”

“We can stay for a bit, I think that guy is looking at you.” Wallace turned and indeed there was.

“Nice eye, are you gonna be okay by yourself?”

Scott put a hand over his heart. “Yeah...I’ll be fine.” Wallace walked off to get lucky. ‘I wonder why she agreed to sing here anyway?’

It was Todd’s idea, he heard about the kiss cam thing and wanted to share that between him and Envy. She liked being the center of attention, plus they’d get free drinks it’d be a win-win! He had told her this, but she wasn’t listening.

Her band began to perform, and he had to admit Todd was a skilled base player. Her fans cheered and screamed her name, but Envy was off her game. What Scott said really bugged her. ‘Who does that little worm think he is?’

She made it through her sets, but she was still feeling frustrated. ‘I know...’

Todd was excited, it was almost time for the kiss cam. Envy was busy on her phone. “I gotta take this.”

“Wait what?” She walked off the stage even as the DJ was announcing the kiss cam. Todd was left by himself. “Envy!”

He could have used his vegan powers to stop her, but promised to never use his powers on her. “Alright everybody, we got a special kiss cam request from two hotties!” Music began to play.

Todd began to sweat, even Lynette left him on stage alone. A pretty hot guy offered to buy her a drink, so she was getting her own hook up. ‘Crap, crap, crap!’ The spot light hit him. ‘Fuck!’ He tried to text Envy but she wasn’t responding.

What he didn’t know was that she was setting up a booty call.

“It’s the rock star extraordinaire, the striking, smooth, and sexy Todd Ingram!” The crowd cheered and squealed. Todd blushed. “Will he be kissing the lovely and talented rock queen Envy?!”

Todd was sweating bullets, sending Envy a barrage of texts. “Hold up, is Todd Ingram on the kiss cam alone!?” The DJ said in a teasing tone. “What a humiliation!”

He blushed in embarrassment. “Envy might be nowhere to be seen, but maybe someone else is willing to join Todd on the kiss cam?” A song began to play, someone had the end of the song to kiss Todd or suffer the humiliation.

Girls thought Todd was hot, but they were too scared of Envy to publicly kiss her boyfriend on stage. When the two were “on” they were totally faithful and possessive of each other. Most of the guys in the audience were jealous of Todd, wanting what he had, plus with his attitude, they felt he could use being knocked down a peg. “Uh oh, looks like no kiss for Todd tonight, looks like you’ll be joining our wall of losers!”

“Huh?!” He had missed that little detail, the club had a wall of the hottest kisses, and also a wall of “losers” who didn’t get kissed. Fame was a fickle thing, certain things can deal a blow to one’s pride.

“Don’t feel bad you’ll definitely be the hottest loser of the bunch.” The DJ laughed.

Envy’s band had been a pain in the ass for the club staff, and those that saw their set up saw how dickish and rude they were over even small matters.

Todd was about to have a freak out, as the music swelled, a sign of its final stretch. Suddenly the music stopped, and Todd looked and saw Scott had taken the stage. ‘What’s he doing here?’ Pilgrim approached him. ‘Is he here to rub it in?’

A hand cupped his cheek, and their eyes met. “I got you.” Scott said, and Todd gulped. The brunette kissed him, sealing his lips over Todd’s and...sparks!

Ingram’s heart fluttered. “Mmm!” His eyes closed as a wave of bliss washed over him. He kissed back, answering Scott’s spark with his own and there were fireworks!

It was all caught on kiss cam, jaws dropped, eyes sparkled. ‘Well damn!’ Wallace thought. ‘Go Scott!’

The two finished their kiss cam scene, but the kiss still lingered after. “Ahem…” The DJ cleared his throat.

Scott pulled back leaving Todd dazed. “Wow…” His lips still tingled.

“I think we have a couple for the hall of fame folks!” The crowd was snapped out of their dazes and began to applaud and cheer.

“Thanks…” Todd managed to get out.

Scott winked at him. “Anytime...I mean...umm...hehe...you’re welcome!” Todd blushed at the mention of anytime, a potential other time.

They were given their passes for free drinks, and the two went at it. As for Envy, her booty call couldn’t come on such short notice, so she took to smoking to relieve stress. She could have gone back in but didn’t wanna see Scott, and she could have fucked her boyfriend, but she wasn’t in the mood for Todd. ‘What a drag, why did we even agree to this gig?’ If she had only listened.
