"YOUR CRIES MEAN NOTHING! I'LL TAKE MY TIME." Frank screamed. The crowd loved it. Everyone was going crazy – jumping up and down, screaming their lungs out and just generally having fun. Gerard and I had come to support Frank and the rest of the band. It wasn't really my type of music but I still liked them. The lyrics were fucking amazing and Frank had worked really hard writing the songs. At the end of their third song, Murder Was the Case That They Gave Me, everyone started cheering and clapping. They really were a good band. Frank did a great job at being the lead vocalist.
"Alright! I just wanted to say thank you to everyone here. Hope you're all having a good time…" Frank began. Then he saw me in the crowd. He gave me a quick smile and waved. "Haha, hey Lindsey!" He said into the mic. I gave him a big grin and waved back.
"Also a big thank you to our families and my bandmates in My Chemical Romance. They've been really supportive and we're so grateful for that. So yeah…thanks. You too, Lindsey. Thanks a lot for coming out tonight." Aww, how sweet! Oh wait, it looked like he was trying to say something to me personally. I made my way to the front and he helped me on stage.
"Hey! So, did Gerard and Mikey come too?" he whispered in my ear.
" Oh, Gerard's here but Mikey stayed at home. He's looking after Bandit. He really wanted to come but…you know…" I said. Ray wanted to come too but he wasn't feeling well so he stayed at home. "But yeah, Gerard's just gone to see some fans outside. He'll be back in a minute." I added with a smile.
"Oh, that's cool." I stared into his eyes. Damn, he had nice eyes! I'd never noticed that before.
"Lindsey? Hello? Did you hear me?" Uhh…what did he just say?
"Uhh…what?" I asked stupidly. You could really get lost in those eyes…
"I said I really can't talk right now. Everyone's waiting. Sorry…" He replied.
"Oh! That's cool. I'll talk to you later." And with that I jumped off stage and ran backstage to catch up with Jamia.
"So, you like the show?" Jamia asked me when I saw her.
"Oh my god, YES! They're great!"
Jamia smiled. "Yeah, I know, right? I'm so proud of Frankie. He worked so hard!"
She was such a lovely person! She was very thoughful, kind and sweet. No wonder Frank liked her…
"Lindsey?" She asked me with a worried look on her face. What was wrong? Was it me? Had I done something wrong? Oh my god, did she know that I liked Frank?
"Uhhh…yeah? What's up?" I snapped.
"Are you okay, Linds? It's just… you seem kinda…I don't know…well…distracted."
WHAT? No! What the fuck was she talking about? Oh shit, did she know?
"Nah, I'm fine! Just…thinking about Gerard." Great, that shut her up. I think she believed me.
"aww." Was all she managed to say. Then her phone started ringing. It was a My Chemical Romance song. Disenchanted to be exact. Such an amazing song!
"Oh, I've gotta take this call a sec. It's one of my girlfriends. She broke up with her boyfriend a few days ago. I said I'd always be there for her and…well, I'll tell you more later. Gotta take this! Bye hun!" Jamia said in a hurry. Then she ran into one of the dressing rooms and left me sitting on the cold, uncomfortable deckchair backstage. The screaming started a few seconds later. What the hell was that? The screaming continued. It was so loud! That was all I could hear. Without thinking, I jumped up and ran towards the stage.
"NOOOO!" Frank shouted at me and he grabbed me by the waist and dragged me backstage again. He firmly held my face with his hands and looked me straight in the eyes.
"Get outta here, Lindsey! Please! Go! I…I…JUST GET OUTTA HERE NOW!" Frank pushed me towards the exit and then he ran back into the club. What the fuck was going on? I wanted to know! Should I go or should I stay? I bit my lip and followed Frank out on to the stage…
I walked slowly behind Frank. Almost everyone in the crowd was gone and the people still there were running frantically for the exit. Frank cursed loudly.
"It'll be okay, dude. Stay with me." I heard him say. Did I really want to turn the corner and see what Frank was seeing? I had to, I just had to. But… no! Did I really want to see what was going on? Someone cried in pain. I needed to find out what…
"HELP ME!" OH MY GOD, GERARD!
