No love like Perrentes love

Chapter Twenty Three

Ok, so I was thinking and I thought that maybe there should be a smutt scene somewhere in here, I don't know why but I just feel like it would fit or would it just ruin it? please, please let me know what you guys want down in the comments because at the end of the day I am writing this for you guys and I don't want to ruin it with an un needed smutt scene. ALSO can anyone recommend any good fanfics, from any pairing, I don't really mind, I just haven't read a good one in a while because the carrot fic kinda put me off fafics for a while, and I'm sure if you've read it you would understand :) Anyway, smutt scene, yay or nay? Thanks guys :)

Tony's POV

"Right, so how how about after Vic has sung the third line, that's when you do your thing Mike and Tony joins back in, as Jaime is already there, how's about that?" Mr Vine asked as we were all sat in a practice room after school. "sure," I agreed, setting my guitar back up as we launched back into the practice, We had about four months left until the competition and we had sorted out the cover of Cowboys from Hell by Pantera as it was a firm favorite of all of our. It didn't sound exactly the same but it was only a tinier bit different. It didn't take us long to practice because it was so well known to all of us and we knew the parts off by heart. "Sunshine, there ain't a thing that you can do that's gonna ruin my night!" Vic started off as we all slowly came together and joined in. I let the music wash over me and literally take over my body, my fingers flew over the neck of my guitar of their own accord, My other hand gripped my pick and strummed the pattern over and over, changing without me thinking about it when it needed to, my head bounced up and down along with the music and I never once got dizzy. When I was listening to or creating music, everything bad in my life disappeared and that emptiness was filled by happiness and good memories. The song came to a close and I kept looking down at my guitar. I eventually lifted my head when I heard the other guys moving. Mike wrapped his arm round my waist and kissed my slightly sweaty forehead. "that was fucking amazing, Tone!" I smiled, slightly panting after pouring my heart and soul into that performance and it wasn't even the real thing yet. I pulled my shirt off, leaving me in just the t-shirt which I was wearing underneath in the hope to cool down and sat down next to all the other guys. We were all smiling and panting slightly. Mike had gone all out and taken his t-shirt off so he was left topless, and I would never admit it to him but he was fucking hot. I kept stealing glances over at him while he was slouching back in the chair next to me. Mr Vine clapped his hands together. "guys, that was amazing!" he said, practically beaming "I have never had such an enthusiastic band and you guys are definitely winners, if I let you in on a little secret, I never thought any of the other bands would win and they never did but with you guys, you're something different, you're all so enthusiastic and energetic and there is just something about you that makes you so likeable," he said smiling "it's coz, we're all Mexican so we're immediately better than everybody else," I said which caused a chuckle from the others then a collective gasp came out of each of them which they tried to cover up with a cough, I frowned, looking from each of them, Mr Vine included, who were all trying to look at me but not at the same time. I tried to figure out what they were all looking at "right, guys, I think that's enough practicing today, you all deserve a rest, make sure that you all get home before dark and I will see you guys after the weekend," he said, forcing a smile on his face "Tony, could I talk to you quickly?" I nodded still utterly confused. The others left giving me smiles that looked almost... pitiful? I hung back and waited until Mike had left after giving me a quick peck on the cheek. "so, Tony, are you ok?" he asked, sitting at his desk "yeah, sir, I'm fine, why do you ask?" I said, sitting back down in my seat "well, I'm going to be blunt, Tony, your arms tell a different story," he said quietly. It suddenly hit me. I took off my shirt. I took off my fucking shirt, the only thing protecting me from exposing my secret, what an idiot, I was such a fucking idiot, everyone saw, that's why they were looking at me like that, they felt sorry for me, they pitied me, I didn't want their fucking pity. I pulled my arms through my shirt holes. "I wasn't fine, but I'm getting better thanks sir, now if you'll excuse me but I have to go home, my aunt is expecting me home before dark." I said, angrily before throwing my bag over my shoulder and storming out of the classroom. I reached the gates and saw the three of them huddled round together, talking quietly, but they stopped when I approached. I walked straight past them without so much as even glancing at them, how dare they fucking pity me? I carried on walking and ignored them when they called my name. I quickened my pace when I heard footsteps getting closer, "Tony! Wait, Tony, please, Goddammit Tony! I can't breathe. Fuck! TONY!" I heard Mike yell as he came running towards me "Tony, please, Tony, just slow down, look Tony, we were," I turned to him, to see that he was only a few steps behind me and Jaime and Vic weren't too far behind him "what? Mike, what do you want from me?" I yelled, surprising myself but all the anger that had built up over the past few days was coming out now "Tony, I don't understand, why are you so angry with us?" He said straightening up, I was relieved to see that he had but his top back on.

Mike's POV

I saw tears build up in his eyes. "why I am angry with you Mike, why?" he said quietly, this wasn't good "I am angry because you fucking pity me! You all probably hate me now! Well, here's a newsflash, I don't want you feeling sorry for me, I don't want your fucking pity either, I am fine!" His voice grew louder as he spoke and he ended up shouting at us. I was lost for words, I had no idea what to say but luckily enough, Jaime stepped in for me, "we just want to help you Tony, we ju-" he was quickly cut off by Tony "I don't need your fucking help, from any of you, I have been managing by myself for so long now. Alone! and I don't need you all thinking that what you saw was any need for concern because it's been a lot uglier than that, now if you don't mind, I think my aunt made chilli tonight so I'm gonna go, please don't try and catch up with me," He ended as a single tear fell down his face, he quickly turned and shoved his earphones in his ears before almost running away. I felt my heart sink as I watched Tony's hunched figure walk away from me. "You've got to talk to him," Vic and Jaime said almost at the same time "I will, I just have no idea how to approach him though," I admitted downheartedly to Jaime and my brother. Jaime said "what you need to do is walk up and hug him, just hug him like your life depends on it and no matter how much he fights or struggles or curses you, don't let go because he will eventually give in and probably cry but he will give in and tell you, just don't leave it too long or he will think that you don't care," he finished with a smile "ok, thank you Spike, I won't forget this, thank you," I said before taking off running, everything was going to be ok, I was going to make sure of it.
