The Lonely Bar

There are down times. Ryan just wanted to be alone. To clear his head. Who can blame him? Touring isn't easy.

"What's the worst part?"

He takes a moment to think.

Ryan: Almost all of it. I know why we do this, but still...

He takes a long sip of whiskey.

"Bartender! Another!" the vocalist shouted. The bartender got to work. Ryan leaned over the bar. They had five more stops after this. Could he even make it until then?

"So what's next?"

Ryan sat up and shook his head.

Ryan: I don't know. Just keep it together, I suppose.

"Are you okay?"

Ryan: No.

"Okay, I will leave you alone then."

The vocalist breathed out.

Ryan: Thank you.

The bartender came back with another glass of whiskey. Ryan nodded and took the glass. This was his only released. Suddenly, his phone buzzed beside him. The vocalist rolled his eyes. He knew who it was, but he just wasn't going to answer it for now. Spare me, he thought. Ryan pressed the button to turn off his screen and downed his drink. He was going to need more. Good thing he didn't have to perform until tomorrow evening. Ryan sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Bartender! Another one!" he shouted. This was fifth drink? It didn't matter. Ryan just wanted to be alone. Okay, so he did take a couple of pictures with fans at the bar. Other than that, the vocalist was going to be alone. He was going to need a taxi to get back to the B&B. Still, that didn't matter. He let himself get lost in the drink and a Japanese Led Zeppelin cover band performing on stage. The vocalist leaned back again and let himself get lost in Lala Land. Ryan just wanted to be alone.
