Love and Other Trouble {Shannon Leto}

chapter 2

The time was chaning me and i learned to make the best out of every day, to be like the one i was: a stupid asshole. I could be a friendly and helpful girl, an absolut jackass or a beast if you threat me or any of the people in my life. Since our leadsinger was also an actor, we had a few weeks off every now and then. Right now we were in this situation. All my band coworkers were at home or were in their holidays. And so was i. From the money that i didn't spent for the wrong things, I bought a nice small house in the woods a little bit away from the big chaos of the city. I needed this silence, i needed to hear the relaxing sound of the birds, the wind and the trees swinging in the wind.

At least here i could escape from his presence, here i could enjoy my dreams. I can fantasize about things that would never happen. Since I realized that I had this feelings for him, i hated myself for it. My dad always told me to not fall in love with a coworker and at least with my 'boss'. Until i met this man, i was able to do what my dad said. How could I love my coworker!? How stupid am i?

The time of relaxing went by and the main members of the band began to produce a new album, meaning I would be back on the road again. And i knew what that meant, being in one tourbus with him. Luckily I was able to be a friend to him and i have to admit we were pretty close friends. Besides his brother and Tomo, i was one of his best friends. We were like children as soon as we weren't on stage. We went to the playground when it was night and played there or we played on the PlayStation and began to argue and fight if the other one won. If we had a 2 or more days off we went out or ride with our motorbikes. Riding a motorcycle was absolutely my favorite thing to do between two shows.

As soon as the time had come, i began to pack my suitcases. Although i was more like a man, i had too much things i needed on the tour. And as the day came, where we were heading to the first country I saw all of them again. I have to say i missed them and the stupid things we did most of the time. After getting on the plane, i looked for my seat. I put my headphones on and played the new songs to get to know them. The first song wasn't even over as someone sat down besides me. I ignored it and pulled my drumsticks out of my handbag. After the first song was over i played it again and began to follow the beats. I softly banged on the seat in front of me, wich was occupied by Stevie. He new this already and so he didn't said anything. I practiced like this every time i had a new song to play. One song followed the other and I came to the song Conquistador. Obviously I missed a beat and the someone next to me saw it. He took my hands and showed me how to play right. This was something that happened not too often. I looked next to me and saw Shannon. He smiled and said something, wich i couldn't understand because of the headphones. "What?" I asked putting down the headphones. "You missed a few toms." I laughed. "How do you know what song is up?" "From the beat... And you turned up the volume like always." I couldn't hold it back and laughed more, of course he heard it. I always had the volume on the highest level to hear each drum. Because he began to tease me that I missed a few beats, i began to play on his legs, pretending that it were a drum kit. It didn't took long and he pulled his sticks out off his bag, we shared my headphones, so he could hear the songs too and began to play on the airplane. I could feel the heat of his body and the tension began to rise again.
I didn't wanted to practice too much, because I would forget the half of it if i did and started my usual playlist, while Shannon used the restroom. I began to play to in the air tonight from Phil Collins, i loved to play drums on his songs, they were so powerful. The next song hit, actually not a song i would play drums to, but i liked it. Poison from Alice Cooper played as Shannon came back. He took one earplugs out and listened to the song. "Wow! I never thought you'd listen to his music." "Why not?" "Because you are too young." "Fuck you Shan." I showed him the bad finger and laughed.
