| She stood off to the side and watched the show. She watched the girls scream and throw stuff up on stage. She watched as they picked a spot and flirted with some girl, trying to make their night. And I stood there, watching her. She stood there, leaning against the wall backstage and just kept her eyes trailed on her man. �Her man! My ass,� I thought to myself. I smiled and had to keep myself from laughing. �I don�t see anything wrong,� she said. �Not now. Of course. You wanted to know what he does on the road, I�m going to show you. If anything, watch the dancers.� I counted to ten and waited to hear her scream. And it happened. I covered my eyes and peeked my head over and saw Brian look backstage. He narrowed his eyes and shook his head. �Wait, that�s only the start.� She turned around and ran back to her car. I rolled my eyes and waited for the Boys to come on back. �Who was screaming?� Brian asked me. �How would I know? I just work back here, remember? I fix the lights?� �Smart ass, huh?� �But of course.� I walked away and went back to my bus. I fell down on the seat and counted till 30, waiting for Brian to walk in. And of course he did. �What the hell is she doing here?� �She wanted to know what being on the road was like. I thought I would show her.� �You little bitch. How dare you do that to her. To me!� �Hey, stop acting like a righteous man when you�re not. We all know it. She has to see what a lying, cheating, jack ass you are! I only did it to protect my sister!� �Oh, that�s all that matters? Not the fact that you just ruined her life?� �It�s better she knows now then later, when you�re both to deep in to get out?� I said softly. He looked at me and only nodded his head. �Whatever.� He walked out the door and walked over to his bus. ---I was standing on the ladder, trying to fix a light when Brian came in. �Can we talk?� �Sorry, I�m rather busy. I�m not being mean either. I�m really busy.� �What do you have to do?� �Seems like a lot of the lights are completely blown, or something.� �You have to go through all the lights?� �Yeah.� I smiled and went back to work. �Well, be careful, please?� �Why do you care? Thought you hated me for ruining your life,� I said. I reached over to get the light when I lost my balance. I looked down and saw the stage. It seemed a lot like a death place now. I screamed and saw the stage getting closer. I closed my eyes and felt a pair of arms around me.--- �Theresa, wake up. Damn it, wake up!� Brian said. I opened my eyes and looked at him. �What?� �What were you dreaming about?� �Um, falling to my death.� �Oh, that can�t be good.� I just shook my head and slowly got out of the bed. �What�s wrong?� �Aren�t you mad at me?� �Why would I be? Your sister and I had a talk last night. A very long talk. It seems she had fallen in love with some guy.� I just stared at him. �What? You don�t believe me?� �No, she just never told me that.� �Oh, well now you know. And since everyone was worried about you, I�m going to let you go back to sleep.� �Wait, Brian, I�m sorry. I�m glad you two talked things through and all, but I know you loved her.� �Well, love, it�s a funny thing you know. Makes people do crazy things. And sometimes love just takes a course you don�t want it to be set upon.� �Um, yeah. Night Bri.� �Night.� I watched him leave and just sighed to myself. �Sure, there other motives for my sister seeing the truth. I wanted, loved, Brian. We were so perfect together. And I just wanted to be with him. I didn�t understand why he choose my sister. Talk about complete opposites. Oh well,� I thought to myself. I climbed out of bed and walked over to the arena. I sat down on the stage and glanced up at the lights. �Oh, that doesn�t look good,� I mumbled to myself. I climbed up the stairs to the lights and walked along the beam. I quickly glanced down and shook my head. I started walking and came to the light I was looking at. I sat down and started messing around with it. �Theresa?� a voice called out. I took a chance and glanced toward the entrance. �Hey Bri.� I went back to work and saw Brian come in my eye site. �Just what the hell do you think you�re doing?� �This light had a problem. I had to fix it.� �Are you crazy. You can do that tomorrow.� �I wasn�t tired. So, I started fixing it.� �Please, I�m begging you Theresa, come down. Just watching you is making my heart pump.� I smiled down at him and stood up. I walked back along the beam and down the steps. �Happy?� I asked, as I reached the bottom. I stopped and stared at Brian. �Brian, nothing was going to happen to me. I do that all the time.� �I know. It�s just at night and no one is around to watch you. Just, please, don�t do that anymore.� He pulled me in his arms and gave me a huge hug. I frowned and hugged him back. He pulled away and gazed in my eyes. I felt him lean forward, just as my body did and I felt his lips on mine. I closed my eyes and held my breath, hoping and praying this wasn�t a dream. Or a very cruel joke. And slowly, he pulled away. I blinked once and gazed at him. �Shocked?� I just simply nodded. �Good. So am I.� �Why?� He grabbed my hand and took me to the end of the stage. He sat down and pulled me down next to him. �I�m not sure why. I�ve been watching you for a while. I mean, I was dating your sister and I thought I loved her. But I was wrong. Your sister is beautiful. She�s wonderful to be with, but she�s someone I just couldn�t get a long with. And in a sense, every time I was with your sister, I was thinking it was you. You�re someone, on the other hand, is almost a complete opposite of your sister. I could hang with you, talk with you or just stare secrets, and you didn�t seem to mind. When people talk about falling fast, I believe I know the meaning if it.� �You know Bri, you�re not the only one. I called my sister to come down just to see if she would believe me that leaving you was the smart idea.� He smiled and nodded his head. � |
