Chapter 1
The Concert
"And here's one for the fans," Gerard said screaming into the microphone. The music of The Sharpest Lives kicks out of the speakers and Gerard begins to sing. 'Well it rains and it pours when your out on your own, if I crash on the couch can I sleep in my cloths? Cuz I spent the night dancing, I'm drunk I suppose." He pulls the microphone away from his mouth and hangs it over the crowd. They begin singing along. Gerard laughs and lets the crowd sing
"Give me a shot to remember and you can take all the pain away from me. A kiss and I will surrender, The Sharpest Lives, are the deadliest to lead. Let's burn all the empires so bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be, in love with all these vampires so you can leave like the sane abandon me." Gerard sings and roams the stage. Frank and Ray shred on their guitars as Mikey spins with his bass.
They play the rest of the song and Gerard brings out a stool and sits. The music gets quite and Ray and Frank and Mikey get stools also and sit.
"So this is where we are supposed to talk to you guys and shit." Gerard says looking at Frank and smiling
"Yeah I guess we are supposed to tell you all that we uh what inspired this album and everything but I don't think we will. Right guys?" Frank says
"No I don't think we will." Ray says smiling and scratching his neck
"Well Gerard, my brother, what oh what ever will we tell them?" Mikey asks
"Well that's a good question Mikey. Well in the beginning we had it set with the ticket taker to mark off the 300 and 301st people through the gates, and they get to hang with us after the show.' Gerard says as the crowed starts to scream. He waits patiently for them to stop screaming. Then a man walks out on stage and hands Ray a piece of paper.
"Ok here are the winners, Phoenix and Tara Scott!" Ray says and the crowd looks around for someone to start screaming and freaking out. When no one does Frank takes this time to say something.
"If you don't come up here you don't get to hang with us." He says as security brings two girls up to the stage. The girls looked at each other in disbelief as they walked onto the stage. The two were sisters and had by chance gotten tickets at the last minute when they found out that My Chemical Romance would be in town. Phoenix looked at Tara.
"You don't think this is a joke, do you?" Phoenix asked as Frank looked at them and smiled motioning them over to the band.
"Some how Phoe, I don't know what to think right now." Tara said as Bob the drummer started to play a beat.
"Well what we also didn't mention was that we also will be singing to them, a song of their choice, even if we already played it." Gerard said as the crowd erupted in to screams of what they should choose. He looked at the girls as Frank and Mikey picked up their stools and brought them over for the girls to sit on. Phoenix looked at Tara and shrugged. Tara looked at Gerard and said
"Famous Last Words, please." Ray and Gerard smiled at them.
"Alright guys." Gerard yelled into the microphone "Here it is Famous Last Words."
The music started up and Gerard began to sing the words.
"Now I know…. that I can't make you stay..."
