Blood: Story of a Psycho

Chapter Thirty-One

A week had passed and it was time for the performance. Lili had spread word the school and her neighborhood. My parents even came to the event. There were two other acts before us, one was a good who did covers for Simon Curtis songs, the other did mainly Black Veil Brides songs. We had set up our stuff set up with the help of some guys that were good with wiring. Angel's drums had our band's name on them like any official band would. Our name was The Exiled Union. The crowd we had at our stage was pretty big, They were already pumped from the band before us. I walked up to my mic stand.

"Hey everybody, we're The Exiled Union and before I start with this first song, I just like to ask you something. Is there something in your life that you're sick of right now? It could be something like depression, abuse, bullying, or just something inside you that just bugs the living hell out of you. You don't have to say it but do you have something like that?"

The crowd screamed yes.

"Well for whatever it is, join me in this song that has helped through my problems. This song is Sick Of It by Skillet."

The others started playing and I began singing. Occasionally I would look over at Christy, who was off to the side where everyone else couldn't see her. When I finished, the crowd was cheering, they liked us.

"Thank you so much, alright well this next one doesn't have much of an introduction it is just simply a song I like, I hope you enjoy The Drug in Me is You by Falling In Reverse."

That's when we played and I sang and when we finished it was same reaction from the crowd.

"Alright, for this next song, I won't be singing but instead my lovely fellow band member and girlfriend Christy will be. So here she is."

I put the mic on the stand and walked off to the side and passed Christy as she was walking on stage.

"Hey, so the song will be Whore by In This Moment, so I hope you enjoy."

The music started playing once again and soon she started singing, her singing voice wasn't as rough as Maria Brink's but it was still good enough to be amazing at this song the crowd thought so as well. I then walked back out on stage with another mic.

"Wasn't she great everyone?" I asked the crowd.

Everyone crowd shouted yes and then quieted down. That's when I heard someone who had a different opinion.

"You guys suck!" I heard someone yell out, it was Derek.

The next thing I saw was a bottle heading towards Christy. Quickly, I reached and grabbed the bottle out of the air. It wasn't opened so I handed it to Christy.

"You're probably going to need this for your voice," I said close to the microphone. "Now as for the one guy who says we suck and threw this, I happen to know that it's a Mr. Derek Trainor. You got a problem with us, come up here and deal with that problem, I'll allow it."

Not long after, Derek walked up on the stage and got up close to me. He shoved me but before he could do anything else, Christy got his attention.

"Hey Derek, you won't be able to beat Ben I hope you realize that," She started as I backed away while she had his attention.

"Oh yeah, and what makes you say that?" Derek asked as I crouched down.

My plan was to RKO Derek, much like Randy Orton would, it's just that the way I'm going to do it is going to actually hurt.

"You wanna know why Derek?" Christy asked slightly more confidently. "Because he's beat Paul and Frank, not to mention he can be unpredictable. Speaking of which, haven't you learned that when in a fight you don't turn your back on the person you got problems with."

At that moment, I ran toward him jumped, wrapped my arms around his neck and let myself drop down. In doing so, I let my arm under his head to come out, resulting in Derek's head hitting the stage, hard.

"Look at the RKO outta nowhere!" Shawn shouted from his mic. "He truly is unpredictable!"

Derek stumbled to get up. Once he did, I shoved in the direction toward offstage.

"Alright now get the fuck off stage," I told him off and then looked back to the crowd. "Alright, well the show must go on, the next song, it's kind of a situation like what we had right there, now here's the song Partners in Crime by Set It Off."

The music continued to play, Christy sang her parts and I sang mine, I was having the time of my life on this stage and I would want this again. We finished that song and we finished with me singing the last two songs we had planned.

"Alright well thank you so very much for staying with us. We loved performing you guys and I hope you guys enjoyed your time as much as we enjoyed ours. We hope to perform some more."

The crowd dispersed and I noticed Derek heading into the public bathroom nearby and someone was coming and no one was heading in.

"You guys get the stuff packed and I'll catch up to you soon, I gotta take a leak."

I walked into the bathroom and locked the door to the entrance. I saw Derek heading into the one of the stalls, I was surprised that he didn't hear me. I quickly put the gloves that were in my pocket on. I stopped him from closing the door behind him.

"What the fuck do-"

I punched him in the face, got behind him as he was dazed, put my hand over his mouth and got him down on his knees in front of the toilet. The next moment his head was in the toilet and he was being drowned. Soon the bubbles from his screaming stopped. I pulled his head out of the toilet and just propped him up on the toilet so it looked like he was just on the toilet. I took off the gloves, put them in my pocket and proceeded to walk out of the bathroom like nothing happened. I met up with the others and we drove back to Lili's house to drop our stuff off and we our separate ways. I drove Christy back home. We stopped at her house
