(Tom's POV)
Backstage at the lions lair, Mark and I are play fighting and being brothers with around 20 other musicians.
"DONT TOUCH ME YOU DILL SLAPPER!"
Mark screams horribly loud and runs around in a thong. I can't control my laughter whatsoever. He's being chased by the guys from The Story So Far.
"Mark! ILL SAVE YOU!"
I pick him up and hold him in my arms while guys throw food and random liquids at us.
"CUNT NOODLES!"
Mark takes off his thong and runs after them butt naked with it held in front of him. Man this is insane. I'm drenched in something, Mark is naked,
The Story So Fucking Far is here.
So is kut u up. So is..
I step to the side, pull out my phone and call Olivia.
Olivia: Hello?
Me: Is Christina in the crowd?
Olivia: I don't see her Tom.
Me: Well.. Come backstage.
Olivia: on it.
As she shows the security her pass some of the guys mistake her for a groupie.
"Hey back up guys.. Her name is Olivia, a good friend of mine."
A lot of them nod in understanding.
"Hey Olivia, i need to talk to you."
"Sure, what's up?"
"I won't be able to perform if she shows up, there is no way."
She grabs my face with her left hand.
"Don't be such a bitch! You can do this! I heard you rehearse that song for her don't you dare tell me you can't do this. She needs this from you. She wants this."
My manager walks in.. Uh oh
"Yo Mark, Tom, Travis you guys are on after the story so far.. And they're on now so be ready."
"Thanks Rick."
I'm about to piss myself.
Olivia grabs my right hand.
"You're going to fucking rock Tom."
"Thanks.."
She hugs me and quickly runs back out into the crowd. I really don't know how to feel right now.. If she is in there will guys mess with her? If the pits starts going will she get hurt?
To take my mind off of it I grab my guitar and start to play..
Guitar really distracts me from things that could mess me up either emotionally or mentally.
Parker Cannon from The Story So Far
runs over and looks energetic, pumped up and ready.
"Hey your girlfriend told me to tell you that she's here.. Just cause I guess."
He winks at me and runs back on stage.
I don't have a girlfriend..
"MARK HOPPUS!!!!!!"
He comes back with pants on which is an improvement.
"Tom! some kid totally threw his pants at me.. Sweet stuff."
"That is actually really cool, but you have to get this.. Christina is in the crowd and we have to change our
set list NOW."
"Well New Found Glory is headlining so we have room for about six songs."
He gets a little serious.
"Grab that poster.."
He rips the green day poster off of the wall and I get a sharpie from my manager.
"Tom you pick the songs, it's your show now that Christina's here."
I stare at the poster for a second.
And start to write.
1. Carousel
2. Time
3. Toast and bananas
4. 21 days
5. Dammit
"Do you want to play the new song?
The one about Christina...?"
Mark asks.
Without saying anything I scribble it.
6... I Feel So
...
Hey guys! Sorry the writing has been slow. It's my first time writing anything and writers block is an actual problem. I'll try to have a few more short chapters like these, they seem important. Well PEACE.
The story so far is awesome By the way.
Love - Hilton X
