No love like Perrentes love

Epilogue

Mike's POV

"Dude, just chill ok? You'll be fine, everything will go great, ok?" Alan said, looking me in the eyes, his hands reassuringly resting on my shoulders, I let out a shaky breath "ok, cheers dude," he smiled at me, "I have to go on now but, just stay calm, ok? Everything is going to go great!" he said cheerily, giving me one last smile before running out on stage. I heard Austin yell something to the crowd which was met by cheers and screams. I tapped my hands on my legs, trying to catch my breath before we went on. We had been a band now for nearly six years and my life has never been better. I had been living with Tia for most of my teens but me and Tony moved in together just before his nineteenth birthday and he hadn't cut for nearly five years now, we had a really bad time when an old bully came back into his life and the hate got too much for him and Tony decided that he didn't want to live anymore so he tried to kill himself, I found him not to long after, a few minutes actually, he was rushed to hospital and had his stomach pumped and wrists sewn up. He was on antidepressants for the next year but he hasn't needed them for ages and was officially taken off them four years ago. I still have his suicide note and take it everywhere with me, it's just a reminder of what I could have lost. Vic and Jaime have officially been together for two years now and I've never seen my brother happier. We'd just released our third album and were on one of our many tours, we saw the inside of our bus more than we saw our own houses. I wandered to the back of the stage to get my sticks and to take part in the bands ritual. Hands were suddenly placed over my eyes and a warmth was pressed against me. "guys who," he said, placing a small kiss under my ear causing a shiver to run down my spine, he always had that effect on me. "But Phil, what if Tony sees us?" I said in an overly dramatic voice. I was suddenly spun round and roughly pushed against the wall. "I'll just have to let everyone know you're mine now won't I?" Tony said before he tangled his hands in my hair and pulled me to him, kissing me roughly and passionately. He broke away after a while, leaving me breathless, he continued his relentless kissing on my jaw, nipping and sucking on the sensitive skin, causing me to groan loudly. He pulled away grinning, I could already feel the red mark forming, He looked up at me under hooded lashes which caused my heart to skip a beat "I love you so much Tone," I said, stroking his face softly. "I love you too Mikey, thank you for everything you'ver ever done for me, I realize now that I'm better than a blade," I pulled him to me and softly kissed him "I'm glad you're better babe," He pulled me back to him for a longer kiss this time "oh for fucks sake, guys, come on, again, I swear I always walk in on you two nearly fucking oh my god," Jaime ranted, I pulled away smiling "did you want something?" I asked, raising my eyebrows, "yeah, we wanna do the warm up, c'mon let's go!" we followed the impatient Jaime back to Vic and took part in the song that we had started with all those years ago before that life changing competition. We had just finished as we heard Austin yell goodbye to the crowd. I gulped and wiped my slightly sweaty hands on my shorts, my hand running over the small box in my front pocket. I pulled my shirt off and made sure that my ear plugs were in the right place, before jumping up and down trying to get rid of the nerves. "Good luck bro," Vic whispered, quickly hugging me, Jaime came along and quickly hugged me as well "can't wait, I'm so excited for you," he almost squealed in my ear. I grinned back at them trying to hide my nerves. We were soon ushered to the side of the stage as Of Mice and Men came running off high fiving each of us as they went. They all gave me a supportive thumbs up as I walked onto the stage with the rest of the band. We all stood at the front waving hello then I ran to my drum kit and immediately started, launching into the song more forcefully and more passionately than I had ever done before I put my heart and soul into this performance, it could be life changing for me. I would occasionally look up and see Tony looking at me or winking, he would sometimes come up to the front of my kit facing me and mouth things to me or wink and blow me kisses and it took all my concentration to not lose the rhythm.

The set came to a close and Vic was talking to the crowd. I walked to the front of the stage and threw my sticks into the crowd, I have to admit, it was quite amusing watching the fans scrabble for my sticks. It meant a lot to me, that they respected me that much and admired me that much that they would almost break another person to get my sticks. It was just... Wow. "You have been amazing tonight!" Jaime called who was next to me, I was going to say something next I had it all planned out, yet I was still terrified. "Thank you for being so supportive guys!" I called, Tony was about to say something when I interrupted him, "get your phones and cameras out people, I want to see this next thing I'm going to say on every social media site, that has ever been created, hell I even want this on myspace!" This caused a laugh from the crowd. I turned to Tony who was looking absolutely confused. I subtly pulled the box out of my pocket and hid it in my large hand. "Tony," I started taking a breath to calm my nerves "You have changed my life, you have made it so much better in the years that you have been a part of it and I hope that I have made yours as equally as happy," I dropped to one knee and the crowd gasped and screamed and Tony gasped and covered him mouth with his hands "I love you so much Tony Perry. You have made me the happiest I have ever been over the last few years than I have ever been in my life, yeah, we've had our bad moments but we've had more amazing and life-changing ones than bad, but what I'm trying to say is, will you do me the honours of spending the rest of forever with me?" I asked, nothing else mattered, the crowd and Vic and Jaime all blurred out and all that was left was me and Tony, standing there in the spotlight. He removed his hands from his mouth showing me a huge grin. "Yes," he croaked out, nodding, a tear fell down his face but this time it was from happiness, "yes, of course," he said much more loudly this time, I slipped the silver band on his finger and he pulled me up to him and crashed his lips to mine with more ferocity and more passion than ever before. He wrapped his arms round my neck and kissed me deeply, I eagerly responded. He broke away far too soon for my liking, we turned to face the crowd who were all cheering and screaming, going absolutely mental, a girl in the front row was crying, but smiling through it, I smiled down at her and she stuck her thumbs up at me, still crying. Vic and Jaime came and started a group hug which caused the rest of our crew and Of Mice and Men to come on and join in congratulating us and hugging us. We said goodbye to our fans and went backstage, Tony hadn't stopped crying, "don't cry babe," I said, wiping a tear away from his cheek. "I'm just so happy Mike," I smiled down at him and quickly pecked him on the lips. "c'mon," I said grabbing his hand and pulling him out the back entrance, I saw Jaime on the way out and he winked at me, knowing where we were going. I climbed in the rental car after opening Tony's door for him. He gave me a confused look but I just shook my head. I pulled up into a near by hotel and went to check in, Tony following me with awe in his eyes. I had to admit it was a pretty fancy hotel. I led him up to the room and as soon as the door was shut his hands were tangled in my hair and his lips were roughly pressed against mine, he gently pulled on my lip ring which caused me to groan and lean into him more. I walked him back until we hit the bed, I fell with him underneath me, pressing himself against me. I was kissing him like I would never kiss him again, my hands were exploring every inch of his body like it was completely new to me. "I love you," I whispered when we broke apart fro breath "I love you too," he said before I pulled him back to me, letting ourselves getting lost in this little part of forever.
