Lost in the echo

Part 14

A/N: Feel like cheating here... Going to start new fic today with Chester being NOT in the main role. Will see... Lol. Need to torture someone else for a while xD But off with the new chapter. No warnings here, and it is also tiny bit shorter. Song is from Sentenced and called You Are the One. Please go an listen to it if you like heavier music. Enjoy!

Mike stared at the clock. He was again in the situation that he didn't know how long to wait. Chester had been few hours in the patio. Mike wasn't only anxious cause they needed to talk and he didn't know what to say but the singer hadn't even eaten anything that day. That would make him cranky. Rob had went up to his room earlier and others were somewhere. He turned to look at the clock again and sighed.

"Mike. Go. It won't get any easier but the opposite", Rob peeked down from the second floor.

"You freak me out", Mike laughed and then got serious again. "What will happen will happen. Rather it to happen now than later", he inhaled and walked to the sliding glass doors that lead to the patio. The singer was sitting with a lap top on his hands. He was clearly focused on something with ear plugs on. Mike didn't want to startle the other man and slowly opened the door tiny bit. The other man started to sing with his sweet voice and Mike's heart jolted.

"You're the light at the end of the tunnel

The beacon fire in the dark

The glimmer of hope and truly the meaning of my life

I say this with all of my heart

You are the only one for me

Year to year, in words and deed

In all this chaos the trace of clarity

You are the only one I see

My first and last, my all and everything

You are the one"

In the middle Chester closed his eyes tears rolling down his cheeks. "So serene and pure...", Mike thought and cleared his throat and opening the door to step outside not really wanting to interrupt and end the moment.

"Hi... That was beautiful. Writing a new song?, he spoke softly not knowing where to turn his gaze.

"Hi. No.. That was just a suggestion from one fan and it felt like... Never mind. What's up?", Chester's face had now the same shadow it had had for days only disappearing once in a while.

"I think we need to talk. About the earlier... And well everything", the emcee continued stepping closer.

"No we really don't. It was a mistake and I knew it would happen. I warned you. And now I fear that that was the end of.. well everything. So I don't really feel like talking. I'm sorry Mike. I'm sorry that I couldn't control myself and that I broke the promise", Chester shook his head sadly.

"What promise?", Mike was confused.

"I said I won't mess things up. And that was exactly what I did back there", the other man's voice was merely a whisper.

Mike didn't really know what to say. He was confused. Without Rob he would be oblivious but now he was just confused. How to continue from here? He didn't understand that he had really hurt the other man that bad.

"Why does he look so sad and confused? It was me who messed up not him! I didn't hurt his feelings that bad with one kiss?" Chester's mind was overloaded with thoughts.

"So if you excuse me I really need to get some distance before I do something I will regret- again", Chester rose up and walked to the door.

"No, please. Stay and we'll talk", he grabbed the arm of the singer. "His way to deal with things, I already recognize it"
