Chapter 3
The Monkees gave ten more concerts in the area and each night, Allison and Nicole were in the first row, and then, they would meet Davy and Micky backstage. On the last night, the two girls came home at 4:00 a.m. Allison had invited Nicole to sleep at her house. Davy had kept Allison at the front door for a little while. When Allison finally got in her room, Nicole was already in bed. Allison told her:
- I'm exhausted but I don't know if I'll be able to sleep. I'm so happy! Davy promised he would come back here at the beginning of June, as soon as they finish filming the last episode of the season. He says he's going to miss me, 'til then. I'm going to miss him, too! But phone calls and letters will help. Allison sighed. Then, she noticed Nicole didn't say a word. Allison looked at her friend to see if she was already sleeping. Nicole's eyes were closed but two tears came running down on her cheeks.
- Nicole! You're crying? What's up, dear?
Nicole sobbed, unable to answer. Allison took her in her arms. Finally, Nicole was able to talk:
- I love him so much. But I know the beautiful dream is over! I have to wake up.
- What do you mean?
- Micky didn't suggest we could phone each other or even write a postcard. Nothing at all! She went on, bitterly:
- Of course, he can have all the girls he wants. He's handsome, sexy and he knows how to talk to women. I overheard a conversation between the bodyguards. Micky changes dates almost every night. All young actresses and beauty queens are willing to go out with him. He takes the girl to a restaurant, then to a party and it usually ends up in bed. Why woul he embarass himself with me? I'm not cute, and boring besides that.
- Stop it! you're beautiful and not boring at all! If you're not good enough for Mr. Dolenz, well let him get lost!
Nicole started to cry again. Allison was sad to see her best friend suffering. She also felt a little embarrassed to have shown her happiness with Davy. Finally, Nicole stopped crying and sighed deeply:
- I'll have to forget him. Allison, I'm truly happy that everything is going well between you and Davy. Don't worry, I'll get over it.
Nicole bravely tried a little smile. Allison felt really sorry for her. When she went to bed, she prayed in her heart for Nicole and hoped that time would heal her friend's wound.
