Runnin'

Chapter one:

NO-ONES POV:

"You always do this tommy."Adam threw himself down on the couch of the tour bus. "I-I'm sorry it's just.. There were people." Tommy whispers, his grip on his left arm tightening. The last concert of the for your entertainment tour was today. It was a long year full of unexpected things and feelings. Tommy shifted his weight to each foot as tears began to sting the corner of his eyes. Adam noticed this and stood, guilt sweeping his every emotion. He knew that tommy wasn't one for public affection. Hell he's still trying to figure out his sexuality thanks to that kiss Adam gave him that started it all. "I'm sorry." Adams voice was barely even a sound but tommy heard it. He didn't look up, he was afraid. He knew this bothered Adam.

"I know your still trying to find yourself but...-" Adam hesitated, trying to find the correct words. Tommy's eyes widden as the words escape Adams pink lips , his heart falling to his stomach. "- this isn't working Tommy Joe."

That's it. That's the words that tommy had heard only in his worst nightmares. The tears bubbled and over flowed, streaming down his face like molting lava. He stumbled only to catch his balance on the wall. It felt as if everything was dim.

"I'm not good for you tommy, and I can't keep hurting you like this." Adam said, tiny tears forming in his ocean blue eyes as well. Tommy shook his head from side to side. 'No. This cannot be happening' he told himself. "Look we're here.. In LA. You have an apartment to go to right?" Adam spoke softly, as if talking to an injured animal. Tommy nodded without noticing it. "Good, go there.. Your off of work till the new album is ready to start." Tommy was bewildered.. Shocked even. He stood himself up and as if his body had a mind of its own he gathered his things and headed for the door. "Goodbye, glitter baby."

[5 month and a half later:]

ADAM'S POV:

"So what, he quit? And now were guitar-less?" I sighed running tired fingers through my now blond hair. I honestly was getting sick of the color.. But he wanted to put my hair this way. My manager nodded "said he was gonna take his leave..he didn't say why.. Not even to me." I placed my head In my hands as I leaned forward onto my kitchen table. What are we gonna do now? I already wrote like six songs instruments and everything. And the release date is another 5 months for the trespassing album. It's not like I can hold auditions all over again, won't have enough time and it's too much of a hassle. I looked up as I heard the front door open and shut. "Babe, I'm home!" A sweet voice called from inside the house. "In the kitchen!" I call back. I looked over at my manager when he asked who it was. "My boyfriend Sauli, I thought everyone knew?" He shook his head no as a blond headed figure walked into the kitchen. "Hello there." Sauli spoke with joy. "Sauli this is my manager." Sauli and my manager shook hands and he sat. "So, what are you fellas talking about?" He smiled and I felt my cheeks heat up. He was so fucking adorable when he smiled. Tommy smiled the same way..

"Our guitarist quit." I informed him shaking the image of tommy out of my mind. Sauli's face scrunched "that's too bad, what are you gonna do?" I shrug. I honestly don't know what to do.. "Oh!! Idea!!" Sauli announced. My manager smiled. "Okay what is it?" "Well what if we put That blond fellow as the lead guitarist? I have a cousin who knows how to play the bass real good." My manager smiled wider "putting tommy as the lead guitarist isn't a bad idea I mean that's what he auditioned for the first time anyways." It was as if I couldn't hear him that well. I haven't spoken aloud of tommy joe since that night we had on the tour bus when I broke up with him. I felt my chest get tighten as sauli and my manager started to make plans to get his cousin to come down and play with us. "Adam!!" I snapped back to reality as sauli placed his hand on my arm. "Is that okay..?" What choice do I have? We can't just pick some random person off the street to play. I nodded. "Sounds good."
