The Boy With The Scorpion Tattoo

Ray's POV

As the music for Helena came on I was knackered. The show had been a blast, I always enjoyed the first show of your the most. I head banged at the front of the stage and my afro flew everywhere. The crowd screamed louder and I thought it was for me. But when I looked up I saw Frank making out with Gee.

They are the two most popular members of our band I admit, me, Bob and Mikey still get attention but not as much. I don't care for the attention though, I just love getting up on stage and playing guitar, I put my whole soul and heart into it. I never think 'I don't get enough attention' because me just playing along with the band could save someone's life. That's all I cared about.

I heard Gee sing 'so long and goodnight' and then the song ended. I was sweating like a pig now.

Do pigs even sweat?

I walked over to Bob's drums and grabbed some water.

'You were amazing at the solo in I'm Not Okay Toro' Bob grinned using my nickname.

'Thanks Bobert, you were awesome at drums in Helena!' I replied high fiving him.

We walked off stage and ran to the shower blocks. When we got there, Frank, Gee and Mikey were already in there so there was only left. We paused in the door way and looked at each other. A mischievous grin appeared over Bob's face and I had no time to think before he full on sprinted to the last shower.

'YOU DIPSHIT!' I shouted after him.

'Too slow' he grinned before getting in the shower.

'Raymond, Roberto, what's going on?' Gee asked sticking his head out of the shower.

'Bob got the shower first!' I whined. I wasn't really pissed off and Bob knew it.

Her just rolled his eyes and disappeared behind the curtain again.

'MIKEY A UNICORN!' I shouted.

'Im not falling for that again Ray,' laughed Mikey.

'Frank you're unusually quiet,' I said, 'sup?'

Mikey and Gee laughed.

'What?' I asked.

'Nothing!' Mikey shouted.

Gee just laughed again.

'WHAT!' I screamed.

I heard the door open slowly behind me and in walked Frank in a towel.

'Frank?' I asked, 'the showers on though!'

'I KNOW I TURNED IT ON SO NO ONE WOULD GO IN!' he laughed like a maniac as he ran past me, 'so long sweaty sucker!'

Gee, Mikey and Bob laughed again and I stormed out. I headed back to where the stage was and saw Bryan go through a door. It was the medical room. I followed him through and saw a girl laid on a hospital bed with needles stuck in her arms. I walked over to the doctor taking care of her.

'Is she okay?' I asked her.

'She fainted on the crows and got pulled out by security but I can find no cause of fainting,' the doctor replied sighing, 'glad you care Ray.'

'RAY!' the girl screeched sitting up looking healthy and well.

'Err hi?' I said, 'are you okay you fainted out there.'

'Oh yeah I did,' she whispered looking down. She then have a fake cough and smiled slightly.

'There's nothing wrong with you at all is there?' the doctor said sighing.
