Author's Note:
Hello all I hope you are enjoying the story so far. Just a couplea little things about this chapter before you jump on in to it.
The band name I actually got from a random band name generator, but I loved it so much and it seemed very fitting for whats about to happen
AND
The lyrics of the song they perform in this chapter are not mine they are in fact the work of a wonderful little band called the pretty reckless
PS there is some drug use in this chapter. Don't like it, don't read it.
Chapter 5
Dear book, Well I've had my sexy ass grounded, well and truly. For the whole rest of the week since I skipped school either, mom, bbas or Alfred has driven me to and from school. Occasionaly Babs will take me to her old training space to burn off some energy but its not enough and. the one time I snuck outta the house while I was supposed to be sleeping I got busted and dragged back by no other then stupid Dick Grayson, Bruces addopted son. Stupid arrogaent piece of shit that he is. So I am a little nervous about sneaking out to the gig tonight but fuck it, I am seriously not missing it. All I have to do is get out the window and down the block so I can jump in Max's Van.
Ok book wish me luck Im outta here.
Helena, decked out in a pair tight black leather pants with knee high buckled leather boots and a red top with designer rips was looking very rock and roll. She closed her journal and stuck it back in the drawer in her nightstand and as quietly as she could she snuck over to the window and opened it, wincing when it creaked she stopped and listened for any hint that she had been heared. Helena knew she was taking a huge risk in sneaking out tonight since she was already in deep shit but she was confidant she could pull it off, it did help that Jim was over for dinner and her mom and babs were distracted. All she needed was a few hours and she would be home free even if they did notice she was gone they couldn't do anything until after the gig because she would be onstage. Quietly climbing out the window and down the fire escape Helena stayed low and ran to the end of the block to the waiting van. Jumping in through the back she announced her presence and they were off. Ahh sweet freedom. Climbing over the drumkit and past the guitars careful not to step on or get tangled in anything she made her way to a free seat receiving a high five from Tyler "Your a legend chicky babe, I can't beieve you made it down that fire escape without shitting yourself" The whole group, including Helena started laughing. "well what can I say, I'm fearless and awesome"
A few hours later the band had arrived at and set up their instuments at "Steam" the all ages night club where they were playing and were just finishing their sound check before heading back stage to wait for the club to fill up enough to start the first set. Heading straight for a row of beaten up old couches obviously put there for the clubs bands and workers, Helena flung herself onto the most comfortable looking one, closely followed by the rest of her little group. "Dude this fricken rocks, if tonight goes even half as smoothly as the set up we will be flying!"commented Tyler, clearly pumped for the gig ahead. Helena rolled her eyes at him and replyed with "Man you look like your already flying" Tyler, laughing at his friend slyly pulled out a little baggy with an assortment of different coloured pills and said "maybe just a bit".
Never one to pass up an opportunity to have a little extra fun Max jumped on to Tyler and wrestled the bag out of his hands. "Gimme, you douche bag I wanna play to" Laughing even harder Ty pushed Max off his lap and tossed the pills to him saying "all you had to do was ask dopey. And don't over do it I don't want my drummer looking like a drooling idiot and missing the beat the whole night". Max popped a little blue pill in to his mouth and winked then tossed the bag to Andy who opted for a white one "I Never was adventurous with colours" He remarked as he looked at Helena and said "How about beautiful, you up for a little chemical romance?" He winked at her and began to chuckle as he through the bag to her. Helena caught the bag and lifted an eyebrow in Andy's direction "your so gay" she laughed and he continued "and THAT is the only reason I can get away with saying that to you". Eyeing the little bag of pills Helena contemplated weather it was a good idea to be experimenting with drugs on top of sneaking out and with a gig to play she really didn't think it would end well. "Urg, guys I dunno if its a good idea for me at the moment" Tyler shuffled closer to his friend and rested his head on her shoulder "sweety you don't have to. Its totally up to you" Nodding her head and giving tyler a look of appriecation helena went to hand back the bag when Max pounced on to both of them, lying across both their laps he put him face inches from Helena's and said "don't be a fucking pussy. Its all just a bit of fun and it'll totally wear off before you go home. Come on it all just adds to the experience". What the hell Helena thought Whats the worst that could happen?. Opening up the bag helena shook them a little and lucky dipped, pulling out a red one she arched her eyebrow once more and popped it in to her mouth earning a cheer from the boys.
For the next half an hour the group of friends sat in silence, resting before they started ann to allow the drugs to kick in. When the music manager stuck his head around the corner and said "Ok you lot, get out there and rock the shit out of this place. I wanna hear those bitches scream for you!" Disapearing as suddenly as he arrived the band collectivly shook their heads at his antics and marched out on to stage to a round of cheers and clapping.
"Good evening steam!" Tyler shouted in to his mike above the appaulse "We are borderline riot and we are here to rock yooouuu!" another round of applause and a few woots were heared as the band kicked off in to their first song.
I'm not listening to you
I am wandering right through existence
With no purpose and no drive
'Cause in the end we're all alive, alive
Two thousand years I've been awake
Waiting for the day to shake
To all of you who've wronged me
I am, I am a zombie
Again, again you want me to fall on my head
I am, I am, I am a zombie
How low, how low, how low will you push me
To go, to go, to go, before I lie, lie down dead
Blow the smoke right off the tube
Kiss my gentle burning bruise
I'm lost in time
And to all the people left behind
You are walking dumb and blind, blind
And two thousand years I've been awake
Waiting for the day to shake
Dear all of you who've wronged me
I am, I am a zombie
Again, again you want me to fall on my head
I am, I am, I am a zombie
How low, how low, how low will you push me
To go, to go, to go, before I lay, lay down dead
Oh dead, Oh dead, Oh dead
To all of you who've wronged me
I am, I am a zombie
Again, again you want me to fall on my head
I am I am I am a zombie
How low, how low, how low will you push me
To go, to go, to go, before I lie down dead
A few songs in to the first set everything was going extremely well, with the band playing their instruments to perfection and Helena nailing the vocals. After the first song Tyler had taken the time to introduce each member of the band and they could hear the occasional comment from the audience directed at them, whether it be a "your hot" or "dude I can see your butt crack when you turn like that" and that is where all hell started to break loose.
