Nothing Compares

chapter 3

I woke up laying awkwardly sideways, with Soli still sound asleep on my lap. I gently like a ninja, pulled him off of me, and stood up. I put a pillow under his head and went to the kitchen to see if any of the others were awake.

no.

I got some raw bacon and put it on the stove. I then walked through the hallway, letting that bacon smell waft through their rooms before I heard banging and sniffing, coming from each room.

I ran back to the kitchen and acted casual, like I didn't just wake their lazy butts up.

Soli came in first, rubbing his eyes like a little kid. I smiled and hugged him. "Are you okay?" I asked. He smiled and nodded. "Better, now that I have you" he said. I blushed as the other guys came in the kitchen and grabbed what bacon was cooked and ready on a plate on the table.

Soli didn't go for the bacon. He went for me. *slight fangirl attack* SOLOMON OLDS FROM A FAMOUS BAND JUST WENT FOR ME EEEK

Sorry.

okay, I'm calm... I think...

Soli laughed at my excited expression and continued to grab a piece of bacon. I grabbed the last piece before anyone could grab it. But I was making more, so it wasn't a big deal. I was just hungry.

Crouton came up to me and looked at the stove "you didn't have to make us anything. We can make ourselves food"

"I know, but it's the least I can do for you dorks who accepted a suicidal dork into your house. I might as well pay you in bacon."

he laughed and took the new bacon off the spatula before I could even put it on the plate.

"okay bad boy" I whacked him in the head with the spatula-but not to hard- and proceeded to clean up my mess. "Lillia can you and I go somewhere later?" Soli asked shyly

I smiled and grabbed my back of stuff. "Yeah I guess. I need to go shopping anyways. Where are we going to?"

"We have a concert in LA today where you will be guest starring" Chapstique said. My eyes widened. "Why?"

"Soli feels the need to tell the world about you, and what comes out of child neglecting, yada yada." Crouton said. I rolled my eyes, and looked at Soli. "Thank you Soli, I'd be glad to. As long as you don't make me sing, I'm fine." I said. He grinned and ran off to his room. I don't think he remembers falling asleep in my room. But Crouton does... "so.. you and Soli"

"I swear if you say anything you'll look like a real crouton for a year"

"just to see what that even would look like, do you guys like each other?" He joked. I sighed and continued to clean the pan. "Well duh, who wouldn't love a guy that saved them from killing themselves. He saved me. The least I can do for him is go on stage, talk, and go back to the bus, and he needs me too. He just got divorced. That's tough. He needs my shoulder. And I need his"

Fatty nodded. "We know. He was so depressed before he met you. Now he's back to his perky, idiot self that just wants to crunk-out and have fun"

I smiled. "That's my Soli. But the thing is I've only known him for three days. How can I possibly go out with him if it's been that short of time?"

"I think, if you love someone, age, time, and judgement, shouldn't mean anything. Let love show and don't stop. It's cute" Nadaddy said. I smiled and blushed. "I'm 19, he's 26 I have no chance"

"You have a chance. Go for it" Chapstique said patting my shoulder, wow. These guys are actually encouraging me to go out with his brother/best friend?

I guess I could try and make a move.... No...maybe?... I don't know.

Soli came in and smiled "what are you talking about?" He asked.

"kittens"

"robots!"

"grandmas!" I shouted. "Okay... Interesting conversation.... Are you ready Lillia?"

"Yeah, let's go. We have a lot to talk about." I said winking at Crouton. Crouton chuckled when he got the message and shoved us out the door. "Okay you two lovebirds go and have your fun! Be home by nine!"

"but the concert goes until eleven!" I said. "Oh. Be at the tour bus by eleven!" He said and shut the door.

I chuckled nervously at Crouton's spoiler. But Soli's oblivion was outstanding.

He took me to the mall to buy me some clothes, then we went to the concert.

before he went on, I felt that pang that God was trying to tell me something. "Is it time already?" The pang went on. "Oh poo." I dragged myself to Soli and grabbed his hand, dragging him to a dressing room to talk. "Listen, I love you, a lot, and I know that you probably don't love me, but ever since you saved me from being an idiotic retard, I love you so much for that. I know now that God sent you to me. And I just can't imagine being withou-"

"shut up!" He said and kissed me. Holy crap... That happened...

I pulled away after a while and looked at him. "You-you kissed me!" I said excitedly.

He blushed and smiled. "I-I couldn't resist"

I laughed and kissed him. "I didn't mind it. It was actually the best feeling ever"

he smiled and held my hand "come on, I have to go perform. But afterward, you and I are going out, I don't know where but let's do it!"

I laughed as he walked out on stage.

as I sat down to wait for the concert to end, I felt a slight pain in my chest. "Not again"

The concert ended and I walked with Soli out the door to the bus. "Lillia I really love you" he said. I smiled and kissed his cheek. I was too tired to talk and I think he knew what I meant.

We got in the bus and I yawned. Soli saw the tiredness in my eyes and helped me to his bunk. He laid beside me and put his arm around me. "Go to sleep" he ordered. "Yessir" I joked.

I noticed that most of our time together is at night. We don't really do this I'm the afternoon or anything. Before I could think of the subject more I was engulfed in black. Also known as sleep
