Gilbert jumped up and down as Antonio and Francis entered his house. Francis furrowed an eyebrow.
"What is up.. with you...?" Francis asked.
"I've had six cups of coffee and i'm ready to go!" He stopped jumping and picked up his guitar.
Francis put a hand out to stop him from bouncing out the door. "Gilbert, did you forget we need to practice?"
Gilbert's eyes grew wide, "oh right!" He stopped and pulled a box out. Opening the box he pulled out a black amp. Plugging in his guitar he strummed his fingers to make sure he had tuned it right. "did you bring those microphone stands?" Gilbert asked.
"Oui" Francis handed Gilbert the microphone stand. Gilbert moved the stand until it matched his height. Gilbert breathed for a minute.
"OK. Antonio, on three?" Gilbert asked.
"Si" Antonio answered flipping a drumstick in the air. "1.. 2.. 3" Antonio started with the drums staying in a steady rhythm, the song was easy to keep up because the tempo was slower. Francis chimed in by playing the guitar and soon Gilbert was playing and singing.
By the time they finished playing Ludwig's boyfriend was there clapping.
"Good job!" He smiled hugely.
"thanks Feliciano.." Gilbert set the guitar down and chugged a bottle of water.
"Si!" He jumped up and then ran up the stairs to Ludwig's room.
"Alright.." Gilbert said looking down at his watch. "holy shit!" He almost spit his water out. "we better go.."
"Right.." Francis said packing up the stuff.
"I think we would have been fine if we hadn't even practiced..." Gilbert said putting his guitar in its case.
They set up behind the curtain. They could hear the managers voice.
"Alright everyone please be seated, we have a wonderful show for you tonight! Id like to welcome The BTT!" The manager smiled hugely and the crowd of people cheered.
The curtain drew up. Gilbert scanned the room until he found Matthew. Matthew was leaning against the counter watching the show. He smiled lightly. Gilbert looked down at his guitar before turning and nodding at Antonio. Antonio nodded back.
Gilbert started singing, Matthew stared at him. It was as though Gilbert was singing only to Matthew.
Allistor walked into the coffee shop. He looked around until he saw Matthew.
"where's your glasses "tough guy"" Allistor teased.
"leave me alone.." Matthew looked down at the table and scrubbed.
"Don't ignore me..." Allistor whispered. " I could kill you..." Allistor revealed the gun he was holding. Gilbert noticed Allistor but continued singing. Matthew's eyes grew big and he set the rag down and ran out of the coffee shop. Allistor ran after him. Gilbert ended the song. He was thankful that he had chose a short one. He set the guitar down and ran after Allistor.
Allistor chased Matthew into the subway station. Matthew turned his back to the rails. He had no where else to run. "I've got you now.. Let this be a lesson to all of the people, don't mess with me... or my girlfriend.." Allistor said pulling his gun out. Matthew looked around for help but no one was there.
"no.. please.. please don't shoot.." Matthew watched as Allistor's finger went to the trigger, Matthew winced instinctively and fell backwards on to the rails. He turned his head to see train lights, his eyes grew wide with shock. He heard a voice scream "No!" as the lights got closer.
