You are mine ~ Bennoda ✔️

••• 35. Scream •••

We were getting ready for the concert, Rob was hitting his drumsticks on the table, Brad was tuning his guitar, Dave and Joe were eating and Chester and I were singing and rapping.

"Yeah, someone pour it in
Make it a dirt dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in"

"I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away"

I'm glad Chester and I managed to get along again. We keep having these fights out of nowhere, we never fought before. We were perfect.

Then out of nowhere, Chester's voice pitched really high and he started singing 'bohemian Rhapsody' out of nowhere. After that he sang a high "Galileo" then a low one, then high on again, low again....

"Thunderbolt and lightning,
Very, very frightening me.
Galileo, Galileo.
Galileo, Galileo,
Galileo Figaro!"

Chester then sang
"Magnifico."
Brad joined in "o-"
Joe joined in "o-"
Dave joined in "o-"
Rob joined in "o-"

What just happened? "Back at it again with the Freddy Mercury shit!" I yelled, laughing. We all couldn't stop laughing.

Then we cracked terrible jokes!

"Wait, wait, wait.." Brad said in between laughter and tears "Whhahahahaat does Mike do... before going to sleep every night?" He laughed.

"What?" Dave asked, laughing.

Then Joe and Brad said at the same time "Chester!" As Dave, Rob, Joe and Brad bursted out laughing.

Chester playfully hit Brad "oh come on!.... not every night!" He laughed. I got a bit uncomfortable to be honest. How did Chester deal with this joke so well? He used to be the uncomfortable one. Well, Chester does really love making nasty jokes and comments, So I guess this is just his humour.

Then I realised "guys.. After this show, we only got one location left."

"Hell, you're right!" Brad said. Dave sighed "Wow.. that went by fast..".

Chester just stared and smiled a little "I had a great time.". "How?" I said without thinking, I mean, Cora being all terrible and shit.

"I got to do what I love, Singing, connecting with the fans and being able to thank them all. I had an amazing time, singing, meeting them." Chester said. I smiled at how positively he saw this.

After the show.

Chester's PoV

This show was awesome! I had a great time on stage again. I grabbed my phone to check if I had any texts. I rarely checked my phone this week.

  Monday:
Jessica: hey Chaz, that interviewer, Cora, you should stay away from her as much as you can.

I texted her back.

Today:

Me: I noticed, but what do you know about her?

After 5 minutes I got a text back.

Jessica: well, she stopped by my shop the other day, looking for you. I heard her say some really concerning stuff. And she tends to get obsessed with people. Like, really obsessed.

Me: what'd she say,

Jessica: "Mike is mine Chester, he is Mine. He always will be. You're in our way, I have to get rid of you." "Enjoy your tour Chester, it'll be your last." "I will destroy you." Things like that, mainly threats.. death threats.

Me: Thank you for telling me this, Jess.

Jessica: No problem Chaz. Please just, watch yourself out there okay? Don't get hurt.

Me: I won't. Bye Jessica.

Jessica: bye Chester

My heart skipped a beat as I saw that the unknown number had texted me again, why am I still calling it unknown? I'm pretty sure it's Cora.

Unknown: Hey Chester. How are you?

Unknown: I see your tour's coming to its end. Such a shame..

Unknown: too bad that the time has run out..

Unknown: talking about time running out... yours is running out Chester. Just so you know.

I ignored it, I will ignore it as long as I can. I put my phone down again to see Joe and Dave grinning and smiling at me like idiots "what?" I asked, laughing a little. Dave held up a few pictures, they got a new copy of a few wedding pictures... I smiled brightly and my eyes were prickling, "oh my god.. you guys don't know how much this means to me!" I hugged them both.

A week later.

Mike's PoV

"This is it guys, our last show." Dave said, we were back in America for one last show. We were all excited.

We stepped up stage to get greeted by thousands of fans cheering for us.

We started off with 'bleed it out' then 'leave out all the rest'

"When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done, help me leave behind some, reasons to be missed. And don't resent me and when you're feeling empty, keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest, leave out all the rest. Forgetting, all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well, pretending, someone else can come and save me from myself, I can't be who you are, I can't be who you are."

After a lot more songs, we ended it with 'given up'

Chester got to the screaming part. The fans were cheering loudly "put me out of my, misery! Put me out of my misery! Put me out of my, put me out of my fucking miser-"

I heard a loud bang. Chester's scream at the last 'misery' changed, instead of a strong singing scream, It was a scream of... pain. The fans stopped cheering of joy and they started screaming of fear.

The sound of Chester's microphone falling to the floor mixed with all the screams, Chester had stopped screaming as he fell to the ground. I looked over at him, everything was happening so fast, but he was on the floor, bleeding, holding on as he held his hand to his chest that was bleeding uncontrollably. He had been shot.
