Darling, I'll Treasure Every Tear [Christian Coma]

Chapter 2 - Partners In Crime Will Leave Their Mark

"Now, no more pranks until you leave this bus" John warned Andy firmly, pointing his finger patronisingly as he caught him hovering mysteriously by my bunk.

Andy let out a defiant huff as he folded his arms across his bony chest, "I can't just let him put Batman's life at risk and let him get away with it!" He pushed immaturely as he glared over at John, allowing the fury to ignite in his piercing blue eyes. "How... How could you?" he stammered over his words as he began to get more defensive than usual, shooting a hurt look in my direction. I was guessing that was meant to make me feel guilty or something? Well it didn't!

You see...  Andy always started drama when things weren't going his way - as we are all capable of. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Andy, he's probably my closest friend right now but I can't help but just laugh when the drama queen inside unveils itself.

John stood his ground to the very end as he watched Andy's tall lean figure towering over him. John wasn't the tallest of guys at all. In actual fact the top of his head only just reached the panel at the bottom of the second bunk which was 5 foot at the most. I really admired him for standing tall though... No pun intended ;)

"Andy, I don't care what you do outside of this bus" John explained in a more frustrated tone as he smoothed a petite hand over his sandy blond hair, "But no more pranks til next tour... I'm exhausted" he exaggerated, giving a yawn as he turned and waved to someone that was greeted onto the bus. I guess he was going to welcome them in or something, that would be the logical thing to do. It was probably someone I didn't care for anyway, so I decided to give into the tiredness that weighed down on my eyelids, leaving Andy behind completely speechless as he threw a pillow back into my bunk furiously.

My body plushed into the cold leather of the couch as I sunk down into it, forcing my eyes shut immediately. The weight slipped from under me, instantly making me feel weightless, I didn't want to leave this couch anytime soon but unfortunately I knew I had to drive home soon. Oh the things us rockstar's had to do... It felt like moving house or something. I could feel my mind being dragged into a land of sleep and gradually I was conscious of nothing but my dreams.

*DREAM*

I pulled into my little cosy driveway, seated in my favourite cherry red mustang. Slowly, I slid the keys into my jeans pocket, smiling just at the thought of sinking into my lovely bed for the first time in 3 months. My goal for now was to sleep forever... Well until next tour anyway.

I stepped out of my car, pushing the door shut as quietly as I could, after all, it was gone midnight. But that's the thing I didn't understand. One minute it was afternoon and I was driving along Melrose avenue, admiring the palm trees swaying simultaneously and now it was past 12 o'clock. What? Ughh.. I was too tired to dwell on it for too long anyway which seemed like an advantage.

I peered along the abandoned street, instantly feeling an absence within me. I shrugged the burden from perching itself on my shoulders, guessing that it would just be the fact that I was missing my girlfriend.

I felt the smile pinching each corner of my frostbitten cheeks as I looked over to the house to find a dim light on. She was home.

Gliding along on my happiness, I saw something that was quite disturbing. The front door was open. Only slightly but still. It would scare you if you saw your front door slightly ajar at this time of night. I crept along my small cobbled path, edging nearer and nearer to the door.

The apprehension becoming unbearable, I was just so curious. Carefully, I clasped the cold brass door knob in my hand, swinging the door open the rest of the way before me.

"Hello?" I posed as a question, taking a cautious step inside, letting the moonlight spill into my house. That'a when I noticed it. The house was all strewn about. Curtains torn down, glass shattered over the tiles. I couldn't seem to come to grip with what I was seeing.

My heart began to jump madly as heavy thuds started approaching me, descending down the stairs with no care at all. I didn't know what to do, or what to say. I was literally paralysed to the tiles my feet were placed on, just hoping this wasn't as bad as I thought it was.

But when the footsteps seemed to approach the bottom step, I saw nothing at all. Was this some kind of trick? This wasn't funny at all.

"CHRISTIAN!" my name echoed in a bloodcurdling scream through my brain, causing an awful headache.

"Sophia?" I heard myself mutter, but I felt so far away, in a different dimension even.

"Ive been awaiting your arrival" a sinister voice hissed behind me, causing my legs to tremble without my control.

I turned around to find Andy with my beautiful girlfriend behind him, grinning at me madly with an evil twinkle in their eye, causing my stomach to twist in fear.

"Sophia... Andy?" I mumbled in confusion as I lifted both of my hand sup to my temples, trying to release some of the pain I felt.

"Maybe next time you'll think before pranking me" Andy jeered harshly, stepping towards me infuriating the tiles beneath him.

I felt my head becoming to heavy for me to bear and the next thing I knew... Everything was black.

*Dream Over*

"Christian?" uttered a voice that I never thought I'd be so glad to hear.

I peeled my eyes open quickly to find Sophia- my beautiful girlfriend - knelt beside the couch, stroking my forehead softly. Her golden blond hair spilled around me as she leaned in for the first kiss I had given her in the last 3 months. I reassure you, It was worth the wait. Her blue eyes sparkled happily as our eyes locked intensely in the silence of the night.

"All the guys have gone out to Applebee's, Ive been waiting here since 3 just to see you before I have to work" she pouted, causing me to smile madly.

I sat upright, quite gutted that I missed out on going to Applebee's. As some of you may already know, Applebee's was my favourite bar ever, and we always went the night after tour finished, so you might understand why I was so disappointed. "Wait, what time is it?"I asked in confusion as my eyes traced the clean bus around me.

Shoes and discarded t shirts were picked up and packed away, the sheets were stripped from the bunk and everything was literally glimmering with cleanness. It was so unusual.

"It's half past six... Twenty minutes til work" she gasped suddenly, "I have to go! Oh by the way, your luggage is loaded in the trunk of your car" she assured me with a beautiful smile, kissing my cheek before she scrambled off the bus quickly.

Reluctantly, I picked myself up from the couch, stretching away my stiff joints that drumming seemed to bring on. I felt bad for not being able to spend more time with Sophia, because I can't tell you how much I wanted to see her today.

But the thing that was bothering me the most was that dream. What was up with that?! And along with that, I knew the boys probably wouldn't be home til 3 in the morning, so it'd be a lonely night in for me... Life, Why do you do this to me?
