By Myself: Behind The Mask

[LP_Soldier]

Here's the next part of the chapter:

 

The next day we both woke up around 11. I was tighly wrapped in Chester's arms, my head resting on his bare chest. He leaned over and kissed me.

"Goodmoring, sweetheart," he said, smiling sweetly.

"Goodmoring," I smiled back. A few minutes later we decided to get dressed and get a coffee from downstairs. Phoenix and Mike were already there when we arrived. They said goodmorning and told us that the otehrs were still sleeping. Chester got a devious smile.

"We should give 'em a wake up call," he smirked. Mike raised his eyebrows.

"Oooo, what should we do, Chazy?" he asked excitedly.

"You share a room with Rob and Joe, so you have the key, right?" Chaz said. Mike nodded. We took the elevator up to our floor, being careful not to make any loud noises.

"I'll be back in a sec," Chester said, walked into our room. He came out a minute later with a can of shaving cream. The rest of us couldn't help but giggle a little bit. Mike carefully opened the door. Just as we hoped, they were still sleeping. Chester crept up to Joe and sprayed shaving cream on on hands and a bit on his nose. Mike then did the same to Rob, and then went into his bag and got a camera. Chester and I then went up to them and tickled their noses with the end of the sheets. Quickly we moved away, as both of their hands shot up to their faces. Mike took the picture, and it was perfect. Chester, Mike, Phi and I burst out laughing as we looked at Joe and Rob, shaving cream smeared across their faces. Then suddenly they both jumped out of bed, cursing at us, talking the cream off of their faces and smearing it on us as we tried to run away. In the end, all of us ended up covered in shaving cream and laughing our asses off. Brad and Bob peered out of their room to see what was going on. The burst out laughing when they saw us all on the floor.

"Wow," said Brad. "That's one massive orgy you're having." With that, we burst into even more hysterical laughter again, Chester laughing the loudest. When we finally settled down, we all got cleaned up and headed back downstairs for a late lunch.

[LP_Soldier]

Here's some more of the chapter:

 

"Okay, guys. Here's the plan for tonight," Bob said. "The concert starts at seven, and we have to be there by five. So we all have to be ready." We all nodded and finished our lunches.

For the better part of the afternoon we lazed around the pool, played some games in the Games Room and just sat around talking. By four o'clock, we decided to head out and get an early, light dinner, and then head over to the Air Canada Centre.

Just like the other centres they played at, there were many food and merchandise stands being set up. The arena/ stage area was huge as well. We made our way to the back rooms to get set up. The band started warming up a bit and checking the sound. Rob was warming up on the drums, trying to get everyone motivated. Brad and Phi were playing a few notes together, and Joe was playing around on the turn tables. Chaz and Mike were standind in the middle of everyone, warming up their bodies and voices.

The time seemed to fly by fast, and it was just after six thirty. I decided to go out and get a pop and some popcorn while I waited for the show to start. So I headed out into the swarming halls. While lining up, I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around and saw Ryan standing there, smiling at me. I hugged him tightly and told him I was so glad that he came. We both bought food and drinks and were about to head back into the stadium when I stopped dead in my tracks. I was absolutely shocked at what I saw dead ahead.

Chapter 17: One Step Closer/ Taking a Stand

 

Hey guys! Sorry its taken me so incredibly long to post again, I've been busy a lot and then I wasnt here for a while. But now that I'm back, I'll continue to post. So here's the next bit of the chapter!

 

Ryan grabbed my hand and we ducked behind a merchandise stand. We held our breaths as we watched my parents pass by. They kept looking all around, and I guessed they were looking for me. When they were out of sight, Ryan and I headed backstage. We ran into the room and shut the door behind us. I couldnt believe they came here!

"Woah, you guys are out of breath. What's up?" Mike had a concerned look on his face.

"My parents are here," I said. Everyone's faces looked shocked. "I just saw them. What am I going to do?" Chester came and put is arms around me.

"Why dont you watch the concert from backstage? That way you wont miss it, and you're parents wont see you," he suggested. I liked the idea a lot. It would work, I hoped. But it angered me that they would come to try and get me back home.

I cannnot take this anymore

"I cant believe your parents would come to a concert just to try and get you to go home," said Joe.

"I told you they're like that," I replied.

Saying everything I said before

"Well, we have to head out now. The show must go on," said Chester, kissing me. I watched them all appear on stage, and the crowd cheered loudly. I smiled, yet I couldnt help but think of what would happen if my parents saw me. They had once said that they didnt care if I ran away, after I threatened to to. And now they were looking for me? It was so confusing.

All these words, they make no sense

I guess they only wanted me back because they cant take care of their own god damned selves. Well too bad, I wasnt going to go back.

I found bliss in ignorance

I was way better off without them. And I didnt have to live through them telling me what to do and yelling at me all the time.

Less I hear, the less you say. You'll find that out anyway

I remember I told them to shut up one time when they were yelling at me for something. They were actually quite surprised I did so, too.

Just like before

But I hated them so much. Hated the way they treated me, spoke to me. It made me so angry, I swear sometimes I was going to snap.

Everything you say to me takes me one step closer to the edge, and I'm about to break They would always make me do all the chores around the house. I never got a break. I hardly had time to myself.

I need a little room to breathe. I'm one step closer to the edge, and I'm about to break

[acdcrules04]

sweet, you updated, good chapter

[Pheonix791989]

ooh yay more. cant wait for you to finish the chapter. i love it

[Rae Rae]

yay! more soon this is awesome!

[LP_Soldier]

And now for more of the chapter...

 

I wish I knew why they treated me that way. I didnt do anything wrong. I never disobeyed them, yet I could never seem to please them. Sometimes they made me feel so bad, I just wanted to die.

I find the answers aren't so clear. Wish I could find a way to disappear

And then I realized something. All the times I'd cut myself, and hurt myself because of them, shed my blood for them, and thought of suicide. Why? I was better than that. I felt bad, so I hurt myself. I never should have. It was so stupid.

All these thoughts, they make no sense. I found bliss in ignorance

I finally snapped out of it and realized that the concert was over. I hugged the guys when they came off stage, telling them they did a great job. Then I said I was going to get water and I'd be back in a second. They all warned me to be careful.

I walked down the long halls of the building until I came to the consession stand. I bought a water and headed back when I noticed my parents. They were almost right behind me. I tried to run, but my dad was fast and strong and caught me first.

Nothing seems to go away, over and over again. Just like before I tried to get out of his grip, but couldnt. He was too strong.

"Stay calm and just come with us," my dad said. They led me outside and aroung the back of hte building where barely anyone was.

"We knew you'd be with them," he said. "You are in so much trouble, you little shit!" And he slapped me across the face.

Everything you say to me takes me one step closer to the edge, and I'm about to break

Tears formed in my eyes, and I tried to hold them back. I was trapped between my parents and the wall of the building. Escape, there was none.

I need a little room to breathe. I'm one step closer to the edge, and I'm about to break

"Now you listen. You're coming with us right now!" My father yelled. I shook my head.

"NO! I dont want to!" I yelled back. "I dont want to go..."

"You will do what we say!" My mother stepped in.

"No, I wont. I..." I started.

"YES YOU WILL!" My father yelled, interrupting me and hitting me again. "You little shit, get in the car." Yet I shook my head.

"I wont. You're always so mean to me, I wont..." I was crying now.

"Get in, you bitch!" He bellowed.

Shut up when I'm talking to you

"You have until I count to five," he said.

Shut up

"One."

Shut up

"Two."

Shut up

"Three."

Shut up when I'm talking to you! Shut up

"Four."

Shut up

"Five."

Shut up! I'm about to break

He went to grab me, but was stopped by someone else grabbing his arm first and punching him in the jaw.

[Spike_1412]

OOOO, I wonder who hit him. Ryan? Chester? Mike? A Security Guard?

"Leave her the fuck alone!" Chester shouted. My dad stumbled back a few feet. Chester held me tightly in his arms, kissing my forehead. I saw the tour bus pull up in front of us.

"Come on, baby. Let's go," Chester said.

"You're not going with them," my father said, stepping in front of us. Chester was about to speak when I stopped him.

"No, dad. I'm not going with you. I hate you. Both of you. All you ever do is yell and beat me, and make me do everything you want me to," I said stirnly. "I don't want to go back to that. I'm staying with Chester, and the rest of the band. Whether you like it or not. It's about time I stood up to you. Fuck you!" And with that, Chester and I boarded the bus and it sped off. We sat down in the back, me in Chester's arms, and I just let the tears fall. All the guys were being really nice and supportive, as always.

"You did the right thing," said Brad.

"Nice way to show 'em," said Phoenix.

"I'm proud of you, Tina," said Ryan. "It takes a lot of guts to stand up to your parents." I hugged him, thanking him. The bus headed down his street, and it was time to say goodbye again. I told him I'd keep in touch, and hugged him one last time, kissing him on the cheek. I watched him walk into his house as the bus sped off back to the hotel.

When we arrived, I was dog tired. We all said godnight and Chester and I climbed into bed. I lay my head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around me. We kissed goodnight, and I fell asleep almost immediately.
