"WHAT THE FUCK....." Phoenix yelled at the sight of Mike and Chester getting it on. "Oh my virgin eyes" Rob said turning his face towards the hallway. "I think I'm gonna be sick" Brad added holding his stomach. "It's not what it looks like" Chester said standing up, as Mike put his pants back on. "O yeah well then what the hell is it, were you checking him for a disease or something....I mean that's fucking sick man" Joe shouted as the others all stared at him in shock. "How did you find us anyway?" Chester asked..."I mean you didn't know either of our room numbers."
"Well we came back from drinking and went on the bus to get whatever else we left behind and -" "And Mike had the fucking BAY KEY again" Phoenix yelled, interrupting Brad. "Yeah, so Joe looked in your bunk but it wasn't there.....but he did find this.....(handing Chester the piece of paper).....and so we decided to go to your room to get the bay key." Brad explained. "I can't believe you left it in your bunk." Chester said sternly looking back at Mike who was sitting on the bed, fully dressed. Mike looked down at the floor in shame and embarrassed.
"So we went to your room Chester and -" "Wait if you had Chester's room number then how did you find my room" Mike said abruptly interrupting Brad. "Yeah how?" Chester added. "Well I was just going to explain that....(Brad continued)...we went to Chester's room and knocked on the door...but when nobody answered for like 5 minutes we decided to call it quits and just go to bed. But that's when we heard moaning coming from this room.....a guy moaning". They all looked back at Mike who was turning red......and putting his head down towards the floor.
"Well now you know how we found you......now you tell us what the fuck is going on here!" Phoenix replied. "Yeah, I mean if our fans found out.......God we'd be ruined......besides your 2 guys....I mean what's up with that......and Chester what about Sam and Anna, what about her Mike?" Rob asked in a calm voice. "Yeah...besides when did this shit start......how long have you been doing it......oh my God I can't believe that I just said that....yuck" Brad said. "A month ago....on the day of the end of the US tour......before we came here. At my kegger." Chester replied sadly as if ashamed. "Yeah....me and Anna stayed over that night and Chester was in the bathroom.....sick.....and......it just went from there" Mike explained. "Hey wasn't that when you showed us the song....uh....The Morning After?" Rob asked. "Yeah...it was, I actually wrote it at 5:30 in the morning after we -" "Ugh...don't say it Chaz....pleassssee." Phoenix replied in disgust. "Well you guys know that this can't go on....I mean if Dallas found out....or Sam, Anna...it would be a huge mess." Brad said. "Yeah......but don't forget the rest of us.....we don't want to see that either....gross" Joe said, shaking as he thought of the site they just witnessed. "Yeah well how are we gonna keep Romeo and Juliet away from each other long enough to get them over this infatuation". Rob questioned. "Well, the tour 's over now....so we won't have to share a tour bus anymore.....so as long as they don't see each other for a while...that should work." Brad suggested. "Well I personally think that they need some professional help or something because this shit cannot keep going on" Phoenix said in a sarcastic tone. "Well I think that you guys should first tell Sam and Anna about this" Joe grabbed the phone from the night stand and handed it to Chester....having already dialed the number. Chester cautiously waited for the phone to pick up....."Hey baby, uh we need to talk".
"So of course Sam was troubled by the whole situation, but she loves Chester and they are now going to marriage counseling for help. I tried to work this out with Anna, but she wouldn't have it.....she was disgusted by the idea that me and Chester had been together, so she broke it off with me that week, and gave me back the engagement ring. I haven't talked with her since. It took so long for the guys to earn our trust back....even to this day, I still don't think that they fully do. It's been over a year now since we.....well did it......and I still crave it, from the time I wake up till I close my eyes to sleep again. I don't think that the feeling will ever go away.......or if it does....if I will be the same person without it. I'm not sure if Chester still has feelings for me....I'll never know, sadly we don't talk as much as we used to, hence for the band breaking up....but I will always remember that night. Whenever I hear that song.......the song that I helped inspire, I get chills and get depressed....I can't even listen to it anymore with out feeling all of the emotions that I felt....and still feel for him. But I guess loves like that, you crave it when you don't have it, can't keep it when you do, and wish it was there again when it�s gone. I don't know, I guess that didn't really make much sense.....but it's how I feel....and nothing will ever change that....no matter how many of these I have go to."
"Well Mr. Shinoda that was a very good session I think.....very revealing.....now that you've finally told me the story......I think that we can work from here to make you better. I think that soon these sessions will -" "Dr. Gosen, a call for you on line 3" The secretary said....interrupting the psychologist. "All right I'll take it out there.......will you please excuse me Mr. Shinoda, I must take this." The doctor asked politely. "Yeah sure no problem...I'll be fine in here" Mike replied. As the doctor left the room, Mike got up from the couch and stretched......he then went over and turned on the radio....turning the dial to find the right station. As he listened to the latest from the Deftones...he laid back down on the couch.....moving his feet to the beat of the song. As the song ended, the announcer announced the next song: "OK, now that was the latest from the Deftones....and here is an unreleased single from the sadly split Linkin Park...it's called "The Morning After"....enjoy.
Mike sat up in shock of what he had just heard.....he wanted to turn it off....but couldn't lead himself to do it. So he laid back down and listened, feeling the emotions rising as he always does.
"The Morning After"
Caught up against the wall again Time to chill in the bar again Never seize to amaze the night So I just sleep sleep sleep please don�t Wake me till the morning after Wake me till the morning after
Got confused by the thought again Lick my wounds like a dog again Is that a light at the end of the tunnel That I see I see please let it be but don�t Wake me till the morning after Wake me till the morning after Wake me till the morning after
I�m so tired there has got to be an end to the pain I feel when I�m awake and alive alive alive alive and I�m dreamin
Caught up against the wall again Time to chill in the bar again Is that a light at the end of the tunnel That I see I see please let it be but don�t Wake me till the morning after Wake me till the morning after Wake me till the morning after
I�m so tired there has got to be an end to the pain I feel when I�m awake and alive alive alive alive And I�m dreamin
As the song ended...Mike laid there, staring up at the ceiling....a tear was starting to form. As he tried to keep it in it fell, leaving a wet streak on his cheek.
