Author's Note (Monster): Hello, our lovelies! How was your first week into the new year? Mine was awfully tiring. I constantly had to switch between working, going over to Awoken and being a full-time boyfriend. Why didn't anyone prepare me for the one year anniversary? Which is coming up in a month or two but he's already bugging me about what we'll be doing together. Enough about that. We haven't been able to write anything new, sorry. Replies to the reviews below Enjoy
Danny's POV
Thank God, they found me in time. It wasn't really Matt who found me. I was surprised too but it was Aron who found me. I was just knocking the door, whispering for help every time when I heard a voice. "Danny?"
It was Aron. After a minute or two Matt arrived too and Aron promised me they'd get me out. He told me Dylan was getting the guys and the guys would go get the key. At some point Matt said he'd go back to the guys and I was left alone with Aron.
"Are you still there?"
"I am."
"Why are you at the audition anyway?"
"I wanna hear you sing."
"Why?"
Aron remained silent and I spoke up: "I can't see you shrugging."
He chuckled. "I've been thinking."
"About?"
"We've been best friends since always. How did I never notice you were gay?"
"Because I'm not."
"You're not?" he called out.
I made an annoyed sound. "I'm confused because I'm really in love with a guy but I don't know if I wanna rule out girls already."
"So you're just discovering it?"
"I am."
"How come you never told me about your crush?"
"Because you're a homophobe."
"I am, aren't I?" Aron sighed. "Who are you in love with then?"
"Why should I tell you? We're fighting, remember?"
"Come on, Danny. You're my best friend", Aron begged.
I caved. "You'll hate me."
He gasped. "Is it me?"
"Don't flatter yourself."
"Who then?" he asked and I felt like I finally had to say it.
"Dylan."
A pause.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"I would've thought it was Jordon or Matt but Dylan?"
"Yeah. But-…"
"Sh, they might be on their way down. Let's not talk about it anymore."
"Thanks", I breathed relieved.
As he said someone was making his way down the stairs to open the door. The key fit into the hole and the door opened, revealing Jordon who looked at me with a small smile. I pouted and jumped at him, wrapping my arms around his neck. "Thank you thank you thank you, my hero!"
He chuckled and held me against him. "Easy, Danny, you still have to audition."
"Right!"
He let go of me and I jumped upstairs onto the stage. "Hi!"
"You're energetic", Dylan said as he sat down again.
I grinned. "I am. I just got out of a locked bathroom."
George rolled his eyes. Jordon sat down in his chair again, giving me a thumbs up. I grinned. "I'll be doing the chorus of City."
I looked at Jordon but he was focused on the piece of paper on the table. He didn't even look at me. Why not?
I softly sung the beginning of City, easing into an amazing tune. My back was turned to Aron but I knew he was smiling. After I was done, the guys applauded and got up. "You're our new singer, Danny. No one sings as godly as you."
I smirked widely. "Thank you!"
George put a symbol next to my name and walked at me. "Congrats. You're Undead."
I slapped away the hand he stuck out and hugged him instead. "Thanks."
Aron walked up to me. "Gotta hand it to you, Danny. Your voice is amazing. I see the guys were really interested in your voice rather than getting back at me."
The guys seemed disgusted with Aron's appearance here but he was being really really nice, like a kitten.
Jorel and George didn't really enjoy interacting with Aron right now but Matt offered him a soft smile and Dylan didn't really change his behavior. Jordon was deep in thoughts which confused me. Why was he so absent? Oh right, we were meeting at the old oak at eight so he could tell me the big secret. I just hoped he'd cheer up by then. I looked at the clock. It was seven thirty. I put a hand on Jordon's shoulder. "We're meeting up at eight, right?"
He gazed up at me. "Right. Yeah."
Dylan put an arm around Jordon with a smile. "Is Jordon going on a date with little Danny?"
"Shut up, man", Jordon said, blushing slightly.
Dylan rolled his eyes and turned to Aron. "You caused Danny some serious trouble yesterday."
My friend flinched. "I know."
"Did you also know we had to scrape the pieces of Danny together? You broke him."
I shoved Jordon. "Don't say that. I'm not broken."
"Please, Danny. You were hysterical. I had to cradle you in my arms for fuck's sake."
"I was just hurt", I defended weakly.
George raised an eyebrow. "Danny, you needed friends around. You threw six pillows across the room in rage."
"I did", I admitted. "But it turned out alright. I mean. My mom was thrilled to see you guys. Hell, you stayed over for dinner!"
"Yeah, I love how your mom rushed to the store to get more ingredients", Matt chuckled.
Aron was silent. "Looks like you had a blast."
"We did."
After a few minutes Aron excused himself as he went home. The guys scattered as well until I was alone with Jordon. "Tell me your secret now, Jordon."
He looked up at me with a soft smile. "No, underneath the old oak."
He took me to the tree and stood in front of me. "So I kinda told you I was bisexual, right?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I'm not."
"You're not?"
"I don't really know."
"What?"
"I'm supposed to call myself bicurious because I've never been with a guy or a girl. I have no idea which way I swing."
"That's ok, neither do I."
He smiled and I waited but he didn't say anything.
"That was it? That was your big secret."
"Yes that was everything", he murmured.
That was a total bummer.
Please Review, they're our heavy fuel! What will happen next?
Ro: Really? Damn, I can't believe I just told a typical Monster-Got-Drunk story. Did you find the shoe? I claimed for the whole street someone stole my motorcycle but then I realized I came by foot because I knew I'd be too drunk to drive. Now that was an embarrassing story. They're still laughing at me for it.
Creepixler: Angie doesn't like Danny because the other girls used Danny to prove Angie was shallow. Now she feels like Danny's going to make Dylan see the same. She's just afraid to lose her boyfriend. I accidentally spoke about these stories on the phone with Awoken while my boyfriend was with me. He wanted to read all of the smut. God why.
Zev: EMO LOOKING? God no, I'm not 15 anymore. Emo isn't a look for someone whose age starts with a two. Rather dark hair, dark eyes, scruffy beard, shorter than I'd like to be but broad. The middle length (I refuse to say short. I am still taller than the average girl. I. Am. Not. Short.) hipster loudmouth. That's me. I used to be hateful towards everyone but now I'm just me.
Airia-Chalk: Then post one. Please. I've been waiting. I got locked into a bathroom once...or twice...beaten too. That's how I met my guy!
gingerfatty: not his fault, they were closing up
CreepyGirl2468: I wouldn't be able to. Here I feel free to write depression, cuss, write sex, get dirty and nasty but in an actual book? I wouldn't dare.
Amy Night: That's really nice. I didn't know I had German readers as well. It is a language I struggled to speak when I was little. Don't think I'd be able to speak it anymore. But those are just blasts from the past.
AngelxCloud: Complicated if you put it like that but I think most people saw it coming, no?
