Second Chances ( ***ON HOLD*** )

Chapter 8

Steve's point of view

"Steve.."
I stopped at my tracks when someone said my name. I smiled, because I know that voice, all too well.
I turned around and said, "Hey Helena."
She then gave me a hug, "Wow! I didn't know you were gonna be here. I thought, I would see you at the concert." She smiled.
"I didn't know you were staying here either. This is such a surprise." It really was.
"Are you alright Steve? You seem kinda troubled." She asked, feeling concerned.
"Honestly, no I'm not."
"Do you want to talk about it? I'm a great listener."
I do needed someone to listen. "Okay, do you what to sit over there, or do you want to go out on the terrace?"
"Here's okay with me" she replied.

We went over to the empty seats that were by the open french doors, revealing a moonlight night.
"Wow, what a beautiful scenery!" Helena beamed, as she sat down.
"It truly is" I said, looking at her.
She started giggling from what I said.
God, she looks extremely beautiful and it's not the moonlight gleaming on her.
"Uh, Steve, whenever your ready" she said, making me come back to reality.
"Right, ummm, you know how I had troubles with alcohol. Well, earlier when Phil and I entered our room. I saw a bottle on top of the dresser drawer. I couldn't help it, so I went over but, Phil stopped me and emptied it out. I feel so bad, I couldn't help it, the bottle was calling me." I confessed, with my head down.
"Oh Steve" she said, surprising me with another hug.
"I know what you're going through and I know it's hard but, all I'm saying is, try your best! Please, don't lose this battle, we don't want to lose you again. You're my favorite guitarist and I really like you alot." Helena confessed.
"It's cuz, of my fame and fortune right?"
"What? No! What ever gave you that idea?" She said, pulling away from me.
"Sorry it's just that, the women I meet always want something and-
"Oh well, I'm not like those other women Steve. It doesn't matter if you're a major rockstar. All I see is a normal guy who's sweet, funny and-
Our faces were so close that we felt each others breathing.
This moment was perfect and I didn't want to ruin it.

Sav's point of view

"Well, I should be heading back up, thanks again for listening M-J." I smiled.
"You're welcome Mister Savage."
I got up and walked towards the entrance and when I was about to make my way towards the elevators. Something caught my eye, Steve kissing Helena. (Or what it seems to be her.)

"Aww, a moment that they couldn't deny." M-J said, behind me.
I looked back at them, smiled and left them alone. We went to the elevators and waited.
"Did you know about this?"
"So, what if I did, You know you ask too many questions" she said, stepping inside. I entered after.
I kept my mouth shut about everything but, now I couldn't shake the feeling.
The elevator stopped at my floor and I got out.
"I'm sorry if I've been asking too many questions."
"Mister Savage, all I want you to do is to enjoy everything that is right in front of you, quit stressing about it, see you tomorrow." She said, as the elevator doors closed.

Phil's point of view

After I told Joe and Sav what had happened. I went back into the room to see Steve was missing, I start to panic.

"Bloody hell! I need to find him!"
As I turned around, I saw him.

"Steve! Please tell me you didn't go to the bar here!" I said.
"No Phil I didn't, I just went for a walk and bumped into Helena-
Then he covered his mouth at the sound of her name and even though I know who she was, I played along.
"Who's Helena?" I said, smiling.
"A w-woman, I uh- met" he said, playing with his hair.
"You wanna talk about her?"
"Phil, I don't know where to start!" He says happily, as he made his way toward his bed. I sat on my bed and he constantly talked about how sweet and beautiful she is.
"Phil, she's not like the other women I met, she's the exact opposite! I also kissed her."
"Wow mate! I'm so happy for you! She must be one of a kind!"
"She truly is, I'm going to see her at the concert too!"
"The day after tomorrow is the concert, you got something to look forward to Steve."
"What are we doing tomorrow?"
"Resting and rehearsals basically" I said, getting ready for bed.
"Okay that's great! Well goodnight Phil."
"Goodnight Steve."

Steve and I slept through the night and before I knew it, it was already morning.
"Phil, it's already 10:30 wake up."
I opened my eyes to see Steve awake and dressed.
"Hey mate, are you meeting up with Helena?"
"I wish but, Joe says we need to go to rehearsals."
"Oh okay." I quickly got up, searched for clothes to wear from my bag and made my way to the bathroom to change. When I got out, I saw Steve smiling away.
"Ready to go?" He said.
"Yeah, I just need to get my guitar." I went over to the other side of the room and grabbed my guitar.
"Ready." I said.

We saw the guys, patiently waiting for us with there equipment beside them.
"Hey mates!" I said.
"There you two are, the bus is here." Joe says.
"We would've been here earlier but, Phil overslept." Steve said, laughing.
I playfully punched his shoulder.
"Ow, what was that for!" He says, still laughing.
"Well, you thought you were meeting your girlfriend."
"Shhhhh!!!" Said Steve, quickly covering my mouth.
"Girlfriend????" Both Joe, Sav and Rick said, smiling.
Steve bowed his head down, avoiding our stares and went outside to the bus.
"I may have come down alittle too strong." I said, feeling bad.
"It's okay Phil I mean, we all know who she is. We'll just be surprised." Sav said, putting his hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah, and heads up he's gonna be talking about her nonstop!" I smiled.

By the time we got comfortable on the bus, Steve's expression changed from shyness to blabber mouth machine. We were all happy he found someone to love but, the more he talks about Helena, the more I started to miss my Helen.
I was looking out the window seeing the arena, right before my eyes.
Our driver, parked by the back and we got off with our gear.
We played for what seemed like hours maybe more. When I looked at the clock it was already 6.
("Wow where did the time go??") I thought.
I looked over at Steve who was really more energetic than ever!
"You mates ready for tomorrow?" Rick asked.
"When aren't we not!" I shouted.
They all laughed.
("Tomorrow's definitely gonna rock!")

Hey guys, I am terribly sorry for the wait (due to my medical attention) but, I miss writing stories so I'm back for I don't know how long since I still need to take my two tests sadly. I hope you all are doing wonderful! Sophie's part will be in the making until then. See you all soon!!!!
