By Myself: Behind The Mask

[LP_Soldier]

no, its not the end. Sorry I havent posted in abit Im still trying to write the rest of the chapter. I will post more of it later on today. Thanks for all the comments though, guys! I really appreciate it!

[LP_Soldier]

Heres some more of the chapter. I've decided to call it "Perfect", by the way.

 

Rob had gotten a toaster out and some bread while Brad brought out some condoments. We all had at least two pieces of toast and some orange juice, which Joe decided to bring out. After breakfast, all of us decided to get changed and washed and were ready to start a new day.

Phi and Joe were in the back playing Halo 2 while Brad practiced some notes on his guitar. Rob and Mike were sitting int he back as well, going over more song beats and melodies. Chester and I sat alone in the kitchen, me in his arms, talking. Just simply talking about everything. He told me more in depth about what happened between him and Sam.

"Im so sorry to hear that," I said to him. "After all I'd heard about you two, I never once thought something like that would've happened." Chester was frowning slightly.

"Thanks. Yeah, I didn't think anything would happen, either. I trusted her, and she destroyed that trust. She knew what I had been through all my life, and still she went and did that. But, I've moved on," he said, now smiling at me. "I found you. And I'm never going to lose you. I dont want to."

"Chester, you dont have to worry. I have dreamed of nothing else but being with you for years. You are such a special, sweet guy. There is no one else like you. And if she cant see that, then you dont deserve her. You dont deserve someone who will treat you like that. I promise you, Chester. I will love you forever, just as I always have." I kissed him. Chester looked as if he wanted to cry. Seeing him like this, I did, too. But not a tear was shed. Kisses were shared and bodies were embraced. I loved him so much, and I had for so long. Now that I had him, I would not let him go. We were together now, he was my baby. And now, everything was perfect.

 

Sorry again that it took so long. I was really busy over the weekend with stuff and didnt have time to work on the story. But dont worry there will be lots more coming!

Chapter Fourteen: It Really Is A Dream Come True

 

Around noon time we parked the bus and got out to stretch. It felt good to be outside in the sunlight again. We all walked down the streets, window shopping and occasionally going into the stores.

"A game shop!" shouted Phoenix. "I gotta check inside!" And with that, he took off across the street, Joe close behind. I sighed, laughing along with the others. We all walked across the street to catch up with them.

"This is what happens when you have gamers in the band," Mike laughed. Phi and Joe were looking around, mesmorized by all the different games. Finally, they each decided on one to buy. Phi bought a third Need For Speed Underground and Joe bought Frogger, both for X-box. Once we left the game store, we all decided to get lunch.

Subway was the closest restaurant, so thats where we bought our lunch. I was going to buy my own, but Chester insisted on buying it for me. I smiled and thanked him. He was so sweet. We brought two tables together and sat down to eat.

After lunch we walked around some more. Brad and Rob spent some time in a music store called Rebels, looking at the different guitars and drum sets. Throughout our wandering, several people timidly approached the band members and asked for an autograph. I heard a few people muttering to each other, asking who I was and why I was with the band. I just smiled, staying close to Chester.

We passed by an AMC and the Boogeyman was playing. We all decided we wanted to see it, and so we walked into the building to purchase tickets. To our luck, the next show was in twenty minutes. So we waited around for a while. The ticket sellers were all staring at us. Chester thought this was funny, for he started chuckling to himself.

"Its kinda funny how people know its us, yet they dont say anything to us," he laughed. We all had to agree. Finally, it was almost time for the show to start. We bought popcorn and drinks, and then proceeded into the dark theatre.

[brokenangel]

Keep it up

[Rae Rae]

write more soon

[LP_Soldier]

Here's the next little bit. Sorry its kinda short, but ive been so crammed the last week. I promise u that I will post a lot more soon!

 

The movie was excellent. I was a little hesitant about seeing it at first, since it was from the producers of The Grudge. I found that movie so scary, I had to sleep with my light on for the next month after I had seen it! But the Boogeyman was good. There were a few parts that we all jumped at. After the show, we decided that it was best if we went back to the bus. We had to stop a couple more times along the way so the band could supply more autographs to their fans. One girl was starting at me while Mike was signing her shirt. After he had finished, she asked me who I was.

I looked at Chester with a confused face, not knowing what to say.

"Im a really good friend of theirs," I finally said. Chester wrapped his arms around me and smiled.

"If you really want to know...she's my girlfriend," he said. The girl just stood there, looking dumbfounded. She gave me such a dirty look and then walked away. I couldnt help but burst out laughing, as did the others. I was liking the fact that other people were jealous of me.

When we finally made it back to the tour bus, Bob was taking a nap inside. Mike and Chester suddenly had devious smiled appear on thier faces. I knew that they had something up their sleeves.

[Pheonix791989]

uh-oh more devious plans. hmmm three guesses what they r gonna do

[acdcrules04]

dun dun dunnnnnn....... what r they planning? sounds good tho

[LP_Soldier]

Sorry its taking so long for the next part, guys. I promise you all that I will have some new stuff very soon. In the meantime.....I have written these poems about LP...well, Chester lol what do you think??

 

Chester Bennington

 

Ever since I saw your face

My beating heart began to race

I knew I loved you right away

And couldn’t wait another day

I bought your album that very night

And listened to it day and night

You really inspire me with what you do

And for many reasons I love you

You work so hard and strive for the best

You really put yourself to the test

You have accomplished so many great things

There is no other human being

Quite like you within this earth

You’ve been so talented since your birth

Your only dream was to be a star

And now that you have come so far

You are

You are loved by many, especially me

You have put forth all that you can be

You are everything in my eyes

And it’s not a big surprise

That you’re so famous and so well-know

And in my heart your name is sewn

You will always be the greatest person to me

You are my hero, Chester B.

 

And the second one:

My Tribute to Chester Bennington

 

You are the most talented man I have ever seen

And of you I am very keen

I keep your pictures close at night

One minute without seeing your face just doesn’t feel right

I’ve loved you ever since I first saw your face

And now every time someone mentions your name my heart starts to race

You are constantly on my mind

You are really sweet and kind

For many reasons I love you so

And of them I feel you should know

You are funny and caring and friendly and sweet

You’re devoted, hardworking and cannot be beat

You’re sexy and talented and so very kind

Another man like you would be so hard to find

Yet there’s no use in looking since you are so perfect

Someone like you would be hard to detect

You’ve lived a hard life growing up as a child

I know back then things seemed pretty wild

But now it’s all over and you’re happy and safe

And everyone knows that you can’t be replaced

You’re life is now perfect, you’ve everything you could get

With your wife and your kid and your band, you’re all set

I love you so much, in words it can’t be said

I want you to know you’re always in my head

And forever and for always in my heart you will stay

And hopefully I will meet you in person one day

[Rae Rae]

wow those are really good

[LP_Soldier]

lol thanks. I love those poems! And now....for the next part of the chapter!

 

*we left off where Mike and Chaz had devious smiles on thier faces...*

 

Mike went into the bathroom and grabbed a can of shaving cream. He sprayed some on his hand and gave the can to Chester, who did the same. Carefully they rubbed the shaving cream on Bob's hands and face. Then Chester grabbed a cloth and tickled his nose. Just as we thought, his hands shot up to his face, smearing the cream all over.

None of us could stifle our laughter. All at once we burst out laughing histerically, waking Bob. The look on his face when he realized what had been done was priceless, which made us laugh even harder. Bob started to chuckle a bit as he cleaned the shaving cream off. He shook his head.

"Kids," he muttered as he playfully hit Mike in the arm. "All a bunch of kids." Bob treated us all to pizza for dinner later on. Once we were done, we were back on the road. Bob said it would only take about another day or two to reach New York.

All of us sat in the back again, and the guys were discussing thier next concert. They decided to just follow the order of songs that they played in their last concert because it was easier. Once they got all that straightened out, we started to just talk and laugh. It seemed we were all having a good time, except for Chester. He seemed a little pissed off, and would snap at the slightest things.

"Hey, anyone want to play Frogger?" Joe asked. Phi and I were about to answer when Chester cut in.

"What the hell! Thats all you ever want to do, all three of you! You just want to sit there and play fucking video games all night. And what the hell is with you and the damn frogs? God, I'm getting out of here. Goodnight!" Chester snapped. We all sat there, silent, staring at him as he left. We heard him grab a beer from the fridge and sit down in his bunk.

"What was that all about?" Brad whispered. We all shrugged. Joe looked a little upset. I sat down next to him and put my arm around him. He gave me a slight smile. I looked out towards the bunks, then back at the guys.

"Maybe I should talk to him," I said, starting to get up.

"Uh, that may not be the best idea," Mike said. "I'd just leave him. Whenever he gets like this, its just best to leave him."

"I just wanna find out what's wrong," I said, and left the room. I approached Chester's bunk and saw that he had the curtains closed.

"Chester," I whispered, slowly pulling back the curtains. "Are you okay?"

"What do you want?" He snapped. As he looked at me I could see such anger in his eyes.

"I-I just want to know if something's wrong. Maybe I can help..." I started.

"Fuck, I dont want your help! Just leave me alone!" He yelled. I was a little hurt by that.

"Chaz, something must be wrong..."

"Nothing's fucking wrong! Now leave me the fuck alone!" Chester shouted. Tears formed in my eyes.

"Fine!" I shouted back. "You know, you're the epidamy of male PMS. No wonder Samantha left you for some other guy. You're an asshole." And with that, I shut the curtains and walked out. When I reached the back room again, I fell into Mike's arms and cried. When I finally stopped crying, I faced them all.

"What did I do wrong?" I asked. Mike shook his head.

"You did nothing wrong, dont worry," he said, assuring me.

"I'm sorry for all the crying," I said. "Its just that...when he yelled at me, he reminded me of my parents yelling at me." All the guys looked at me with sympathetic faces.

"I'm so sorry about him," said Rob.

"We all are," Phoenix added. "And dont appologize for crying, its okay to cry. We all understand." I smiled as they all came and gave me a hug.

"It'll be okay," Joe said. I'm sure he'll come around. And I'm sure he didnt mean to snap at you like that." I nodded. We all sat around talking for a bit before Mike decided we should all call it a night. They all asked if I wanted a bunk and volunteered to sleep on the couch. I thanked them for offereing and said I would be fine on the couch. I grabbed some blankets and a pillow, said goodnight to the guys, and shut my eyes. Slowly I drifted off to sleep.

Chapter Fourteen: Wonderful

 

I had woken up early this morning. Everything that happened the night before was still clear in my head. I was hoping it was all just a dream, but it wasnt. I was staring off into space when I felt something on my shoulder. I jumped a bit, then realized it was Mike.

"You okay?" He asked, a look of worry about his face. I nodded.

"Yeah, I'm okay. I was just thinking," I said.

"Come on, we're starting breakfast," Mike told me. He noticed me hesitate and added, "Chester's not up yet." I followed Mike into the kitchen. All the guys greeted me with friendly goodmornings. I sat down at the table with them and ate some of the pancakes that Rob had just made. They were absolutely delicious.

We had good conversations going; they wre talking about past tours and funny things that had happened to them. Mike was laughing so hard he was in tears when he told the story of when they were on stage and the dancing penises came out with them. Brad was in the middle of a story when he suddenly went quiet. We all turned to see Chester standing there.

"What?" He snapped. "You can continue, I'm not staying here." He grabbed a bottle of beer and started to walk out.

"Chester, don't have a beer in the morning. Man, what's with you?" Mike said as he followed his friend. He slowly put a hand on the beer. he was going to take it when Chester pushed him.

"I can have whatever the fuck I want," Chester said as he walked away. Mike sat back down and turned to me.

"I'm really sorry about him, Tina. I don't know why he's being such an asshole," he said. I sighed.

"Don't worry about it," I said. A few minutes later, Chester came back into the kitchen. He put his empty beer bottles in a small box for recycling, then looked at us.

"Um, I need to talk to you, Tina. Alone," he said. The guys hesitated for a second before they got up and went to the back room. Once they weren't in sight, Chester spoke.

"Look, Tina, I'm really sorry about..."

"I don't want to talk to you, Chester," I said without looking at him.

"Tina, please. I need you to listen. I'm really sorry about last night," he said.

"Bullshit. Chester, sorry doesnt always cut it. You had no concideration for anyone's feelings last night. You just snapped and said whatever the hell you wanted," I told him. He looked down at his hands.

"I heard what you said last night, about me sounding like your parents. I can't tell you how bad I feel. And what you said about Sam leaving me...I guess I deserved that. Tina, I'm so sorry," he pleaded.

"Oh, dont worry about it, Chester. I mean, its not like I have feelings. Its not like I love you or anything," I said sarcastically. And before he could get another word out, I got up and walked into the back room with the others.

I felt a little bad for the way I had spoken to Chester. It was probably a little hard, but he deserved it, after what he'd been like with me and the guys. I loved him so much, and he said he loved me too. Yet he was totally PMSing on us all. I didnt know what to think of it.

[Pheonix791989]

all PMS-ers of the world unite lol. man chester chester (shakes head) your never gonna get a girl if you act like that. (sigh) you never learn. Hey props to tina, put him in his place you go girl.
