Chapter 1
Chester walked into his house tired. He had just gotten back from being on tour for about 8 months, so it was nice to be home. Or at least he thought so. He locked the door behind him and headed upstairs into his bedroom. As he walked into the room, he flopped onto his bed, curling into a ball.
The tour had started out shitty, because Chester was tired and didn�t really have anyone to talk to. Joe was talking to other bands about their videos; Brad and Phoenix were off doing couple things, and Mike and Rob were doing the same. It wasn�t that he didn�t love the 2 couples in the band; he just hated it when they were on tour, because he didn�t really have anyone to talk to.
Then Godsmack had joined the tour, because the places they had been scheduled to play at had cancelled them for reckless behaviour. So they joined the tour with LP and ended up having to share a tour bus. Joe was excited about the new could-be clients. Rob and Mike had taken to Tommy, and Rob and him talked about drums. Brad and Phoenix had been discussing guitars and basses, as well as their styles with Tony and Robbie. So in the end, Sully was left without a bed. Chester remembered the fact that he never took up his whole bed and offered it to Sully.
�You are a life saver. You really are.� Sully said to Chester after he had told him the offer. Chester could only smile. He loved the tattoos that covered Sully, and Sully had complimented him on his flames.
�Those must have hurt like fuckers.�
�No, not really. I mean, ya they hurt a little bit, but nothing like the feeling of seeing your wife in bed with your best friend, when you had done them for her.� He looked down, thinking back on that day.
Sully felt awkward and guilty. �Shit man, I�m so sorry. Fuck I didn�t mean to bring that pain back up, we just met and already I�m bringing you down.�
Chester grinned slightly. �Sull, its ok. It�s not your fault. I just think about it sometimes, that�s all.�
�I wouldn�t really see any of the other guys doing that to you though. I mean, they all seem great.� Sully looked out of the booth on the bus to glance at Brad, Phoenix Tony, and Robbie.
�It wasn�t one of them. You�re right, they would never do something like that to me. It was another guy we all knew. John was a great friend. He was so supportive of the band and of Sam and me. I guess he was only there for her. I came home early from tour last year and walked in on them. I broke his arm, but he didn�t press charges. Then we got divorced.� Chester glanced back up at Sully, who was in shock and trying to hide it.
�I�m sorry man. That must have been a bitch to handle. I guess that�s one of the reasons I�m glad I�m gay.� He smiled, a little shy about the topic, but didn�t seem to mind telling Chester.
Chester laughed. �Ya that�s why I turned gay. Well I guess I always was but tried to ignore it for her sake. Screw that now.� Chester yawned. �Umm I�m tired. Do you mind if we hit the hay?�
Sully smiled kindly. �No its fine. I�m tired too.� Chester climbed in first, curling into a ball, then Sully climbed in behind. Chester had fallen asleep quick, and then realized when he woke up, that he had Sully�s arms around him. They had talked about it when Sully had woken up, and he had told Chester he liked doing that when he was sleeping, so they agreed it was ok.
Chester slowly came back to reality. He had been so used to sharing with Sully, and cuddling with him, that he felt really lonely. After about an hour of just thinking, he finally fell asleep, unhappily.
