By Myself: Behind The Mask

[LP_Soldier]

lol thanks for all the comments, I'm glad you guys like my story! Here's the next part:

 

A while later, we arrived at the Sheradin Hotel. Again, we parked int he underground parking lot to keep the bus safe, and took our luggage up to the front hall. Bob had already booked rooms in advance, so we got our room keys and took the elevator up to the second floor. Chester and I were supposed to share a room. We both put our luggage int he room and got set up, then I left to go to Mike's room. He was sharing it with Joe, Rob and Brad. Bob and Phi had the third room.

"Whoa, I can't believe the concert is tonight, and I get to see it!" I exclaimed.

"Really, it is? Wow, I get to see it too!" Joe said. We all laughed.

"So, how are you and Chester going to handle things?" Brad asked. I sighed.

"I dont know. Gosh, I really wish we didnt fight. I feel like its all my fault now. He tried to appologize, but I..." I started, but trailed off in thought.

"Its not your fault, dont say that," Rob said. "He gets like this. Trust me, it'll be okay." I smiled at him. Just then there was a knock at the door. Mike opened it, and Chester stood there. He whispered something to Mike.

"I'll be back, guys. One sec," Mike said as he left with Chester. We all looked confused by this, but let it slide.

"Let's go swimming," said Joe. The rest of us agreed, and we all got changed into our swim suits. It was a nice day outside, and almost no one was out. I guess this was a good thing because then the band wouldnt be bothered for autographs.

We spent a good hour in the pool, Mike joining us later on for a game of water volleyball. After swimming we ate lunch, and then we decided to head over to the New York stadium to get all ready for the concert.

Here's the next part of the chapter. Sorry its been so long!

 

When we arrived, the backstage rooms were already set up. They guys picked out what they would wear on stage, tuned their instruments and started to practice. I sat and watched them, still awed by their amazing talents. I stared at Chester. Oh, how beautiful he is. And what a beautiful voice he has. I loved him so much, and it really hurt that he had been such an ass. I looked down at the ground, wondering if things would be okay again.

When I looked back up, Chester was staring at me. When he saw me looking at him, he quickly looked away. I sighed, slouching in the chair and picking up an acoustic guitar. Quietly I started playing a song I'd written. It had no lyrics, just music. But I loved the sound of it. I was so caught up in my music that I didnt see Mike come over and stand in front of me. I jumped a little when I noticed he was there.

"Did you write that?" He asked. I nodded. "That's amazing. I love it. maybe we could use it in one of our songs." I had a stunned look come to my face.

"That would be so cool!" I exclaimed. Mike smiled and patted my back.

"C'mon, lets go get some dinner," he said. They served pizza, fries and drinks out where the merchandise was sold, so we all got something to eat there. When we were done, it was around six thirty, so the guys went backstage to chanfe and set up instruments on stage. The concert started at seven. I left the backstage area and walked to the front of the stage, where a guard helped me over the fence. There was quite a few people there already. Within minutes, the whole stadium was flooded with anxious fans. And as the curtains dropped, the heavenly sound of the Nu-metal band flowed through the gigantic room. Once again I saw my favourite band onstage. But this time they weren't just my favourite band, they were my best friends.

The band started off with some Metoera tracks, then went to Hybrid Theory songs. It still amazed me how great they were. Their music flowed into our hearts, and there forever it would stay.

About two hours into the concert, Chester went behind the stage for a minute. Even I didnt know what was happening. When he came back he had an acoustic guitar with him. He smiled as he stroked the chords.

"Right now, there's something very special I'd like to do. I'm going to play a song, its actually sung by another band called the Stone Temple Pilots. This song is called Wonderful, and I dedicate it to my beautiful girlfriend, Tina. I love you, baby," Chester said as he smiled down at me. Then he began to play the song, with help from the rest of the band. Tears filled my eyes as he sang that beautiful song to me.

 

If I were to die this mornin'

Would you tell me things that you wouldn't have?

Would you be my navigator?

Would you take me to a place we could hide?

 

As I'm fallin' out

I wonder what I lost

Must be movin' on

Know I'll be waitin' here alone

 

I wanna ask you to forgive me

I haven't been the best with all that I had

Wish I'd only laid beside you

I think I spread myself a little too thin

 

As I'm fallin' out

I wonder what I lost

Must be movin' on

Know I'll be waitin' here alone

 

You're the everything

That led me to believe,

"Hold on, hold on"

You're the wonder in everything

That's wonderful

 

As I'm fadin' out

I don't feel anything at all

Think I'm movin' on

Know you'll be safe but not alone

 

You're the everything

That led me to believe,

"Hold on, hold on"

You're the wonder in everything

That's wonderful

That's wonderful

Know you'll be safe but not alone

 

 

When he finished the song, he thanked the audience, then said he loved me one more time. They played a few more songs before the concert ended. I waited until everyone left before getting help back over the fence and going backstage. When I saw Chester, I ran to him and gave him the biggest hug ever. He squeezed me back tightly, not letting go.

"I love you so much, Tina," he whispered to me. "Please forgive me." I looked up at him and smiled. Both of us had tears in our eyes.

"Of course I forgive you, Chester," I said. "I love you."

Chapter Fifteen: Heaven Tonight

 

After the guys got all the instruments put away and the backstage cleared up of all their stuff, we headed back to the hotel. Chester and I sat cuddled up ont he couch. I was so glad that our fight was over. I hated not talking to him, not being with him. But now everything was perfect again.

"I love you, Tina," Chester whispered as he planted kisses up my neck to my lips.

"I love you too, Chester," I whispered back as it was my turn kissing him.

"I am so, so sorry about the last couple of days, really..."Chester started, but I put a finger to his lips.

"Chester, forget it. It's over now," I kissed him. "Everything is okay now." Chester nodded as he cupped his hands around my face. We shared a long, passionate kiss before he got up and carried me over to the bed. After a long period of time making out, he asked, "Tired yet?" I smiled and said No. He smiled back at me, pulling the covers over us as we slowly started to undress.

 

We woke up the next morning embraced in each other's naked bodies. We couldnt help but smile when we looked into each other's eyes. He kissed me several times before sittingup.

"How you feeling?" Chester asked as he ran his fingers through my hair.

"I am great," I said. "How are you?" He kissed me.

"I'm great also," he replied. We made out for a while longer before I told him we'd better get ready. I told him I had to have a shower, and he wanted to come in with me. I smiled as I turned the hot water on and we both climbed in. The water felt so good as it hit my body. Chester shampooed my hair and washed my body, and I returned the favour to him. Afterwards, we got dressed and went down to the dinning hall.

Here's the rest of the chapter:

 

The rest of the guys were already at a table eating when Chester and I arrived. As we walked in, they all gave us weird looks, as if they knew what had happened last night. Then Mike started to laugh.

"Have a good night you two?" He asked with the biggest grin ever. Chester then mocked his friend's grin and replied," Yes we did. You're just jealous." We all laughed, and Chester and I sat down at the table. We ordered our lunches of grilled cheese and french fries and talked with the rest of the band.

"So, you guys better get packed up fast," Brad informed us, trying to keep a straight face. "Bob says we're leaving by one." Chester and I nodded and said we'd be ready by then.

"Our next stop is Toronto," Rob said. My head jerked up and a huge smile came to my face.

"Seriously? We're going to Toronto?" I was so excited. I'd be able to see Ryan again!

"Yeah, Toronto it is," said Joe. Then he smiled. "We thought you'd be happy about that." I looked over at Chester, who had no expression on his face. I placed a hand on the side of his face.

"What's up, Chazy Chaz?" I asked. Gently he sighed. I kissed his lips. "Is it about me seeing Ryan when we get there? You don't have to worry, we're just friends. I love Chester, you know that." He took my hand in his and smiled.

"i know, baby. I know," he said, kissing me. After lunch, Chester and I went back up to our room to pack our bags. We brought them down to the bus where they were packed away, then we all climbed in the bus and Bob sped us off towards Toronto. Only one bad thought entered my mind. What if my parents find out I'll be there? Chances were very slim, but it still was possible. Maybe I was just over paranoid.

We all sat in the back of the bus, talking and playing video games and drinking. It would take us quite a few days to drive from New York to Toronto, but I couldnt wait.

Chapter Seventeen: One Step Closer/ Taking a Stand

 

It was a very long bus ride to Toronto. Over the past day we made a few stops, and all the guys took turns driving the bus a bit so that Bob could relax. Most of the time we just hung out in the back, talking, drinking and playing music. We worked on writing songs as well.

Mike, Chester and I would often sit at the kitchen table and talk out ideas for a good song. We had written a few we were pretty happy with. Then we'd start adding music to it to make it sound better. The songs still werent perfect, but for the most part we kept the basic ideas and just added and subtracted lyrics.

On the second day, we arrived in Toronto at around six thirty. We got our hotel rooms and right away I called Ryan. It was so good to talk to him again. We stayed on the phone for a long time, and I told him about everything that had happened so far. He asked what hotel we were staying in and I directed him to the Sheridan hotel. He told me he'd get his dad's car and be here in about two hours. I couldnt wait.

The band and I went down to the dining area for dinner. We discussed tomorrow night's concert. They said that if Ryan wanted to come, he could get in with me. I thinked them all and went to wait outside the hotel for him. I kissed Chester as he left with the rest of them upstairs and told him that we'd be up once he got there.
