Walking On Broken Glass

Chapter Six

------------------------------> Mike

Pierre and I were having lunch a few weeks after we heard my mother was on her way to find me. I laughed as Pierre made fun of Mike's antics on stage the night before. He told me how funny it was to see him dancing around in a Green Lantern costume. Josh had been Superman, Matt was Batman and Ian was the Riddler. Since it was that was their night before Halloween show I wondered what would happen since it was in fact Halloween.

"So what are you guys gonna do?" I asked, sipping my coke.

"I think we do like a Simple P style or something. I mean just something we can pull off. Nothing too crazy." He smiled as his phone rang.

"Go on and take it. I need to use the rest room." I smiled as I headed to the bathroom.

I let out a deep breath as I thought of how much I hated having to hide. How I felt like a secret. At least I could be around everyone at the show. Since it was a Halloween show, I opted to dress up. I knew the theme of the night was Super Heroes so I chose to go for a villain. As I walked back to the table I thought of what Trench might do. Then I thought of my cousin.

"We ready?" Pierre asked as he stood up.

"Yea. I wanna go get ready." I smiled as he paid the bill and we left.

"Natasha Romanov!" He laughed as we walked.

"Hush. Just cuz my costume is way cooler then the idea of the Simple P's." I laughed as we headed to the van.

"I wanna talk to you. I should have done this sooner." He sighed as we got half way to the venue.

"What?" I felt nervous as he spoke.

"I've seen you talking with Brent. I don't trust him. He's been in rehab and he's a player." He sighed.

"Are you kidding me? You're worried about Brent and I? There's nothing there. Since I'm on lock down until mom and Justin are found, I don't talk to him. Don't worry." I said, thinking about the tall man waiting for me back at the venue. Being around him still made me feel safe.

"Ok....so what's with you and Mike?" He smirked as we got out of the van.

"Um nothing. We're just friends." I laughed as I headed to their bus. They gave me free rein so I could get ready without issue.

Once I was in costume I smiled as I stepped off the bus. I smirked as I walked into the venue and looked for the guys.

Josh's POV:

I was on stage in my Halloween costume when I looked up. I was dressed as Superman while Mike was Hulk, Matt was Robin and Ian was the Riddler. I was looking around the empty venue when someone walked in. I had to go a double take when I saw who it was.

"Mike look." I stammered as I looked at Taylin.

"Holy shit. Does Pierre know?" He laughed.

"No fucking clue." I was floored. She was dressed as Wonder Woman. She had the dress on; which had made her waist look smaller then it was and a cape. Her hair was down and slightly curled. She wore red boots and had the bracelets and the tiara on. She looked a little confused as she looked around.

"Are you gonna stand there or go talk to her?" Matt laughed.

"Um talk I think." I stuttered as I put my guitar down.

"Don't fuck it up!" Ian laughed as I jumped off the stage.

I was nervous as I walked up to her. She smiled when she saw me, that's when I noticed the make up she had. It was simple and brought out her eyes.
