I dropped out of college and was looking for a job that I desperately needed. I opened the newspaper and saw an add for an assistant job for Mr. Chester Bennington. I applied and Mike called me for an interview. What will it be like to work for the...
Chester and I were busy getting ready to go to the studio. They were struggling with the change and with the new song for a week now. I was getting dressed while Chester was in the shower. I put on a black one shoulder down sleeve top, with ripped dark jeans and black boots. I braided my hair to the side and put on my makeup. Chester come out of the shower and got dressed and we left to the studio.

We got at the studio and Mike was playing around with some sounds. Maddie was there too and she came to us and hugged us both. Chester went to Mike and he took out my journal. Maddie and I took some chairs and sat down. I filled Maddie in on what has been happening. While Chester sit on a chair and read my journal.
"I don't like the song." He said.
"I don't like the sounds we came up with." Mike says.
The rest of the band all sighed and put their stuff down. They came to take a seat with Maddie and I and we watched Chester and Mike play around with the sound and the song.
"This is not working." Mike says sighing.
"This has been going on for a week now that we can't figure out what to do." Chester said frustrated.
They both were tired and frustrated with themselves.
"Give me the journal." Mike says.
Chester hands it to him and he stands next to Mike. They tried to work this out by mixing the words and adding some sound. Trying to figure this out. I must say seeing them work together gave me chills.
"My heart feels like it's torn in two, everyday another tear, everyday a lot more fear." Chester says.
"Keep that." Mike says.
Chester writes it on a notepad.
"I never asked you for anything at all, I never asked for the hurt and pain." Mike says.
"Are you mixing her poems?" Chester asks.
Mike nods and Chester writes it down.
"I cry more tears than I can count, why won't you just let me out."
Mike points at Chester to put it down and he writes it on the notepad.
"I never asked for this horrible life, I never asked to be used and abused."
Chester writes it down.
"I act like things are all okay, But I really want to run away. I act like things are all alright, But always end up in a fight." Chester says.
"Add this to it for the chorus." Mike says. And Chester nods.
"I sit in my room dazed and confused. This crap pilling up inside. While I take the bruises with every fall." Chester smiles and writes it down.
"I tell myself these things won't stay, It will go away." Chester says and he writes it down when Mike nods.
"I never asked once but I'm asking you now, I hope you make me understand somehow. How you could treat me so freaking bad?"
Chester writes it down and he takes the notepad and smiles.

It was amazing, they just mixed the two poems together to make this song. I smiled looking between the two. Wow just wow.
"Bennoda." I whispered but they both heard me and looks at me.
"What?" They both asked me.
"That just came to my mind. Looking at the two of you, mixing my two poems together to make this song. It was amazing." I said chuckling.
"Emma. We're not gay." Mike says. Chester and Mike looks at each other.
"Bro stop looking at me that way." Chester says.
"I'm not looking at you that way you're looking at me that way."
"I'm not. Dude I have a girlfriend."
"I do too. Go sit there with your mic away from me." Mike says.
We all laughed. Chester really took his mic and went to sit far away from Mike. Glaring at him.
"Stop staring at me Chaz." Mike says.
"Fine." Chester turns around in his chair with his back facing Mike.
We all laughed at these two
They chuckled.
"I think she meant it as a friendship thing." Maddie says.
"Yeah." I nod.
"Guess we have a ship name now." they both said laughing.
"Friendship goals I'll say." Maddie said laughing.
Chester went back to sit with Mike. Chester and Mike both laughed too and they start adding some sound together for the song with the words. The others got up and they joined them. And soon the song just started flowing together. Chester and Mike mixed up their vocals singing the words. And the song was officially completed. They all cheered and Maddie and I smiled, clapping. It was just amazing.
