Australia, 2015

Sav's point of view

We just arrived in Australia and the only thing that I wanted to do, was to get off of this ferry. I was on the highest bridge, smiling like a moron, while looking out into the land.

"So Mister Savage, I see that you are pretty happy to be back on land." Someone said. I turned around and saw M-J smiling at me, I smiled and walked closer to her. M-J and I talked for a few more minutes until, the ferry was at a complete stop. She smiled at me before walking away, leaving me all alone.

The guys and I started to walk towards the exit and after that, we waited for our luggage and when we got them, I saw that someone was waiting for me and my mates so, he could drive us to the hotel that we were staying at. We got in the car and once again, I was lost in my thoughts, thinking about if I'll ever see M-J again. God, I wish I could get to know her a little bit better, she seems like a good person.
"Sav? Are you listening to us?" Joe said, shaking my shoulder. I looked at him and asked, "what was going on?", the boys laughed and explained what they were talking about just moments ago. We arrived at the hotel and a major man, lead us to our room. I walked in the room with Joe behind me. I guess, I missed the part where he said, that we were in the same room together.

Steve's point of view

Phil and I entered the room, that we were sharing and my eyes immediately saw the bottle of alcohol that stood on the dresser drawer. A smile, appeared on my face, as I walked close to the dresser. Phil realized what I was about to do so, he quickly ran over to stop me from taking the bottle.
"NO STEVE! DON'T DO THAT! YOU'LL REGRET IT AFTER!" Phil yelled, taking the bottle away from me. I sighed, thinking about the bottle, calling me. Phil walked in the bathroom and I followed.
"I WON'T WATCH YOU KILL YOURSELF AGAIN WITH THIS ALCOHOL. REMEMBER WHAT THIS SHIT DID TO YOU IN YOUR OTHER LIFE! YOU PROMISED US THAT YOU'LL DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE! DRINKING AGAIN, ISN'T A GOOD WAY TO CHANGE!" Phil yelled angrily, while he emptied the bottle out, in the toilet.
"You're right Phil, it's not a good way to change. I'm so stupid!!! How is it that I believed, I was going to change by taking up my old habits?!?" I said bursting out, crying.
Phil threw the bottle in the garbage, then walked towards me, hugging me.

I cried on his shoulder for what seemed like hours. When I stopped, I let go of him and walked out of the bathroom, he followed after. I was so exhausted from all this crying and my jet leg was getting the best of me.
"You should take a nap Steve, you look exhausted." Phil said. I nodded so, I walked towards the bed, and began to lay down. Few seconds later, after closing my eyes, I heard the door opening then closing, which meant that Phil was out. I sighed and fell asleep shortly after.

Phil's point of view

After Steve went to bed, I walked out and quickly went to Joe and Sav's room. I knocked on the door, opened to reveal them on their beds then I entered.
"Guys, this is terrible! you wouldn't even believe what happened when Steve and I got in our room." I said, getting closer to them. Both singer and bass player looked at me with interrogative looks, then they got up.
"Don't play riddles Phil! Talk!" Joe said.
"Okay. When Steve and I walked in the room, he saw a bottle of alcohol. He instantly walked over to get the bottle. Luckily, I stopped him before, he could get to it. I took it and emptied it in the toilet. I kinda told him off and after that, he burst out crying. He cried on my shoulder for a long time and after that he went to bed. I still can't believe that he wanted to drink again. I'm so scared that he'll start drinking again. What would have happened if I hadn't been there to stop him? I don't want to see him kill himself then die again!" I said, as tears filled my eyes. The guys were probably thinking on what they were going to say because, it was quiet for a few seconds.

"Bloody hell! We will have to be more careful with the alcohol around him! We won't let him kill himself like this again." Joe said.
I looked at Sav, who's still standing there with a horrifying look in eyes. I think he was still shocked from what he just heard.
"Sav? Are you alright? Do you want to sit down?" Joe asked, when he saw that Sav's face was white. Sav nodded and Joe helped him while I poured a glass of water for him. I handed him the glass and he took it with shaky hands. Few minutes later, his face had color and he looked more of his normal self.

"Are you feeling better mate?" I asked and he looked at me before nodding.
"You know, this new life really shocked me. It feels like the first time, all of this has happened. You remember, Steve stopped for a while and started again, it made me angry because, we tried so hard to help him but, without any luck we lost him and now it's deja vu all over again. Phil, you said earlier that you didn't want to loose him again well, I'm more scared that this second chance will replay everything! I don't want to relive that unfaithful day. I just can't!" Sav said, looking down. All the things that Sav said were true and since we didn't want the past to come back, we will have to work even harder, to make Steve understand that someone in this world gave him and all of us a second chance and if he doesn't want to make the same mistake again, Steve has to work really hard to change, even if at some point, it will be difficult just like today.

Sav's point of view

After Phil told us what happened with Steve, I couldn't say another word. I was speechless and surprised at this situation. I didn't know why but, I wanted to see M-J so badly. I sighed and got up from the edge of the bed.
"Sav? Where are you going? Joe asked, as I walked near the door.
"I just need to clear my head." I replied, walking out of the room. I walked around the hotel with the hope of finding M-J. I sighed and walked outside.
I sat on a chair that was on the terrace. I took deep breaths and wondered if Steve was okay. Did he still want to drink alcohol or has all of this had passed.
Few minutes later, someone sat beside me , I turned my head and saw the person that I've been looking for, M-J. I looked directly in her eyes and saw that they were really colorful.
"I had a feeling that you needed me." She said with a smile. I nodded.
"We can talk about it if you want." She replied softly.
"Well it all started, when my band mate, Phil, stormed in the room that I'm sharing with Joe. Phil said to us that Steve, one of our guitarist, almost got a hold of alcohol, but the problem is that the liquor almost killed him and I don't want this to happen again. So when Phil told us this, I got scared, surprised and speechless." I explained to her and she nodded. I didn't want to tell her everything, like Steve died then came back to life and the happenings that involved us, the past few weeks.
"Well I think, that it was normal for you to react that way, he's your friend and you probably see him as a brother. Life is a precious thing Mister Savage, your friend has been giving a second chance to live and he needs to take that seriously." She said and asked a major man to give us drinks.

Steve's point of view

I woke up after what seemed like hours of sleeping. I sat up, got up from the bed and walked out of the room. I walked out of the hotel, to go take a seat on the terrace. I stopped at my tracks to see two people, a woman and a guy, drinking and laughing together. I walked a little closer to see that the guy, was Sav. He was with a red hair woman that looked really pretty. I guess, I'm not the only one meeting a lovely woman on tour. I walked back inside, leaving Sav and the woman alone.
