What's My Goal?
Chapter 5
oooooOooooo
Yugi slipped on his apron, ready for his busy shift ahead of him that evening. He pushed open the door leading from the changing area into the big hall. Everywhere people were rushing about, putting the finishing touches to the coloured lights and speakers for the night's show. Yugi walked up to the massive stage at the front of the hall and climbed a few stairs, so that he was standing up on it. He visualised Yami up here, singing his heart and soul out to the public and playing his electric guitar. He put his hand in his pocket and gripped the small shiny plectrum- which he carried everywhere- and brought it out. He looked at it and clenched it in his fist.
'Oh Yami, I wish you could be here' he said to himself with closed eyes.
"Mouto!" he heard his boss call. The sudden outburst of noise made Yugi jump and caused him to drop the plectrum somewhere on the stage floor.
"SHIT!" he breathed. As he frantically scanned the floor.
"Mouto!" Yugi shot up and looked over to his boss, a small man with a balding head… His boss laughed
"God sake ma' boy! What the hell are you doing up there?" Yugi shrugged in reply,
"Erm… I was just trying to visualise…"
"… yourself standing there? Only natural ma' boy!" his boss grinned, "Why don't you get yourself down from there and get ready for the busy night hmmm?" Yugi gave a half hearted grin,
"Sure thing Mr Adams," he called back, still darting his eyes looking for the lost plectrum. Mr Adams smiled warmly before walking away to check on other procedures.
"Fuck no! I've lost it! FUCK!" Yugi breathed again, as he scanned the floor once more, "… how could I lose it? It was the only thing I had left of Yami…" Eventually he gave up his search and returned to the bar, feeling more alone than ever.
4 hours before the competition…
"Right, have we got everything? All your instruments and music if you need it?" asked Yami hurriedly, as he did a final check that they were all organised.
"Yes… and yes again Yami! We had everything ready hours ago," George answered. Yami sighed and then gave a small smile and chuckled,
"Enough of my paranoia and lets go kick some ass at this competition!" he yelled, still grinning. He gave everyone a high five before lifting up the numerous bags for himself.
"But…Yami… erm… why do we need to leave so early?" Josh asked inquisitively.
"Well if you have to ask… remember we will be needing a sound check…" he paused a smiled mischievously, "And I don't exactly want to be sharing a dressing room with the 'competition', a room by myself will just be dandy!" he laughed again, "Common guys! A fucking snail could move faster than you lot! Let's move!" he yelled, causing the others to laugh as they left the apartment and headed for Yami's car…
oooooOooooo
After half an hour, Yami pulled up across the road from the club. The band lifted there bags and entered the building. They were the first ones to arrive and as soon as they stepped a foot in the club, people rushed about them to offer them each a dressing room,
"Talk about stardom!" he said with a wink, as he received the number of his dressing room. The five of them made their way to the corridor with their dressing rooms. Yami waved to his friends before he entered the room. He looked around feeling satisfied, as he lay his outfits for the night's act on the table. He gently took the guitar case off his back and placed it beside the table. Afterwards, he ran over to the black comfy chair and jumped into it.
"Ahhh…. They even got my favourite colour right," he laughed out loud, "…but this is amazing! I can't believe that we've made it to our first actual competition," he then sighed, "If only I didn't lose the closest friend I ever had in the progress of this achievement," He brought out his wallet which contained small pictures of him and Yugi making silly faces in a photo booth. Yami gave a smiled and stroked the picture of Yugi's face. "Good times…. Shame it ended so soon," he said sadly, feeling more tears build up in his eyes. He chucked the wallet on the coffee table and slipped further down the chair before closing his eyes and drifting off into a light sleep…
(dream)
"GOD SAKE YAMI! All you do is sit around and play crap on your lousy guitar!"
'Yugi… I can change I don't actually…'
"All you care about is your bloody band!"
'No Yugi please…' Yami held his arm out to catch Yugi's arm but he fazed right through him. 'What? Why… why cant I touch you? Yugi gave a twisted grin,
"I thought I was ruining your life? I thought I was getting in your way? Look there's the door just go…" a door appeared out of no where. It opened a bright light shone out of it,
'No Yugi… please… don't push me away from you,'
"ME? Push YOU away? You've been living in a different world for the past few months haven't you?" Yugi laughed cruelly again, "HAH! You were the one who wanted to achieve a goal, you were the one who walked out you were…"
'SHUT-UP! I didn't mean all those things I did or said…I…'
"You said that I got my wish and I did! You said to live my own dreams… and I DID! A life without you is a dream for me… after all, I don't love you so why should I care?" he cackled.
'You're lying Yugi! You said you wanted to be friends forever… and I love you Yugi!" Yami screamed attempting to run towards Yugi, but he couldn't, his legs were stuck to one spot on the ground. Yugi put his hand in his pocket and brought out something small and shiny. Yami gasped,
'My plectrum! You found it? And you kept it? So you do care!'
"Nah, I just wanted to keep it in case a situation like this cropped up," he replied. He gave cruel grin, kissed it and threw it away behind him. The image of Yugi vanished from sight. A dark gaping hole opened up beneath him and he fell into it. He landed with a thud on the ground and looked around him, it was completely black.
'Yugi? Yugi! Where are you? Don't leave me here…'
"I thought black was your favourite colour Yami? Ha! Now I see why! You don't care for people…" Yugi's voice echoed out,
'NO! I DO…'
"You have no care for other peoples' feelings…"
'NO YUGI PLEASE!'
"Please do what? Help you… no I think I'll pass on that one," Yugi laughed. Yami began to shed tears,
'Please Yugi… d…don't leave me here!' yelled Yami. Everything had gone silent, 'Yugi? Yugi are you still here?'
"Have a nice day Yami! HAVE A NICE DAY!" ...
"YUGI!" yelled Yami, as he suddenly woke up. His face was wet with tears and he felt cold. He gulped in air as he began to sob as quietly as he could,
"It was only a dream Yami… It… it was only a dream…" he cried to himself, as he began wiping the tears away from his face. He heard a knock at the door and the sound of George's voice.
"Yami? Come on, we need to go have a sound check to see if our instruments are up to par," he said excitedly.
"Give me a minute," Yami replied, as rushed to the sink and washed his face with cold water. He looked into the mirror and sighed, "Well, there's no turning back now," he said to his reflection. He then grabbed his guitar and opened the door and was greeted by the smiling faces of his band. Yami smiled back,
"Let's do this…" he said, as they made their way to the stage for their sound check…
TBC…
