And as for me? Like Drake, I also abide by that one rule in this rockstar game. No relationships. I left my small town to experience and soak in what the world has to offer me, not to settle down and live a normal, boring life. As I’ve said… I’m a fucking rockstar. I am simply built differently from other men.

Sure, some people may call me cocky. Some people may call me an arrogant ass or impulsive to the point of annoyance. I prefer the term free-spirited.

Truth be told, I’ve become a wee bit notorious for my playboy ways. I mean, even the press has started to dub me the nickname Active Axel due to the fact I have a new girl around my arm every night of the week. In my long and checkered past I have had the delight of spending long nights with musicians, supermodels, actresses, influencers… but the main thing is that I have been with a fuck load of women.

Snobby-ass critics may moan and bitch about my womanizing antics, but, hey, I’m just taking full advantage of my rockstar life. I’m a young man with testosterone pumping through my veins and a never-satiated sex drive spurring me on, who else could I be? Find one girl and settle down?

Hah.

Nope.

Not me. I’m Axel Stoll, and I’m here on this planet to fuck women and play music. Because otherwise what’s the fucking point?

I run a hand through my short jet-black hair and cause chaos on my bass.

Following Drake’s lead, we launch into our most famous song, Lightning and Thunder. He raises the microphone to his full lips and begins to sing.

Come with me to the edge of the world

Don’t let me fall when we stand

on those cliffs as I tell you you’re mine

You and me, girl, we can go anywhere

Anywhere our hearts desire

I know you’re scared

And so am I

But when you’re with me

I feel I can do anything

Come with me to the edge of the world

where we’ll know we’re meant

to be together

like lightning and thunder

So follow me up there

and let’s storm into our destiny

The roar of a thousand fans blows over us like a wave of ecstatic sound and that’s when I think…

This – being on stage with my four best friends playing music – is the whole fucking point of being a rockstar.

MADDIE

I have absolutely no need to be concerned about if I’m at the right place; with the sheer amount of squealing and excitable girls currently surrounding me, I think I can deduce I am at exactly the correct location for the show tonight.
