Don't Blame Me for Being Me

Chapter 46
Well, you could flash all the pretty lights in front of me, I still won't see the signs (‘cause I just don’t wanna and I keep insisting you’re great liar)
Well, I failed another time in tempting Trohman. It becomes even funny. I really take it easy. Just I’ve thought that it’s really not a big deal. At least now. Especially after I used Joe’s mobile for calling Cesc in London xD. Sure I should call him. He and the guys won Champions League. It’s awesome! And we talked much xD. Trohman was surprised by how fast means at the mobile were finished xD.
So, the tour is carried on. We met Panic again. I spoke with Brendon. We were reconciled. He admitted all his mistakes, I admitted my ones and we decided we’d had a good time together. And I thought that it had been so much time ago as if in another life though it had been even in this year xD. After all Brendon is a good guy. Just what he’d done isn’t very pleasant. But the time passed and my offence fade away. I understood it. Sometimes it’s silly to be offended.
Well, we were in Arkansas, in some city. Somehow there were Cobra Starship, Panic, MCR and even TAI. Dasha and me were glad to meet William Beckett again. And we would like to meet Gabe. He’s awesome. There are no words to describe how awesome he is. He’s interesting, smart, talkative and likes to have and make fun. So, when he entered the room we all occupied, I got stunned. He was led by Beckett. We were introduced to each other.
“You’ll have a great fun tonight”, Dasha and me promised to him.
Well, our company consisted of me and Dasha, Jon Walker, Spencer, Frank, Mikey, Gerard, Will Beckett, Gabe Saporta and some three girls (Liz, Andie and Nikky; we met them some shows before and made friends). Yeah, Dasha and me were gonna rest without FOB.
The evening was going good. After some hours, when everybody drank “good”, Dasha and me decided to enliven the situation xD. At first we suggested hot dances. And people danced a little. But it was not the way we saw our evening to go. We offered to play a game. We explained rules. Here they are. Somehow it needs to hang some apples (according to number of players) to ceiling or something else. Players should be in pairs. In our case there were 5 couples (girl and boy). They need to eat the apple without aid of hands. Hands are better be tied behind a back. As apple is hanging and rocking, this task is very difficult xD. The fastest couple will win of course. Well, we chose the referee. It was Jon. Spence was tying players’ hands. I chose Beckett as my partner in the game. Dasha was with Gerard. Other guys were taking part in the game too, of course except Jon and Spence. We began that funny competition. Will and me stood in front of our apple smiling to each other. Jon said “Go!” and the game started. At first Beckett and me were just stupidly laughing, our foreheads were colliding with each other and the apple was rocking. I could bite it only one time. Then suddenly Will caught the apple and sunk his teeth into it. It dawned at me how to eat the whole apple. One partner should keep it and another participant should bite and eat. I fastly said to Beckett to hold the apple tight and began eating. Biting big parts and swallowing almost without chewing I couldn’t lead our small team to victory xD. We lost ‘cause we had a quarter of the apple still hanging and another one lying in my mouth, when Jon announced the winners. It was Dasha and Gerard. There is always giving prizes after competition and everybody knows it xD. Including Jon. Having a right of ref, he gave Dasha and Gerard a bottle of some wine from a common stock xD. Well, we all ate our apples and washed it down by the drinks. Our winners did it by trophy wine xD. Beckett and me were sitting on a couch discussing why we lost and finding our mistakes. We were gonna win and get a bottle of some alcohol too in another game I decided to suggest. Its rules are the next. Some couples (girl and boy) take part. Somebody (in our case it as Spence) hooks stickers on girls. He should distribute a big quantity of stickers all around girls’ bodies. The task of boys is to take all stickers away without aid of hands. The fastest pair is winner. Jon wanted to change couples, but Will and me were totally against and other guys didn’t care. So, those ones, who wanted, changed their partners. Dasha left Gerard for Mikey. Jon and Spence began sticking those markers to us, girls. They did it good. We looked like palms from Miami Beach xD. Especially those girls, whose stickers were of green or brown color xD. Jon and Spence stuck up all of the bodies, just left free mouths and hair xD. Then they tied boys’ hands. My Beckett came up to me and my body xD.
“At first, take this shit from my face”, I said to him and those little papers began trembling xD.
He nodded seriously.
Jon announced the start and boys rushed to their girls. Will were tearing the stickers away fastly and like a beast. I even thought he could tear away my clothes too xD. When he set my face free I looked around. Gerard was working quickly, Frank was trying not to be left behind, Gabe looked just great. Mikey obviously felt laziness for that game, plus he had Dasha as a partner (territory of hooked stickers on her was bigger in comparison to other girls ‘cause of Dasha’s height). I was helping Will showing him stickers he missed for some reasons. We were working fastly but we failed again. The winners were Gabe and Andie. Jon gave them two packs of Lays’ chips. Beckett and me were disappointed – it even didn’t worth to try for such prizes xD. And we sat down to drink. After some time Dasha and me suggested another game. People were obviously glad of such wasting of time. Well, the rules of this game are the next. Also couples girl and boy take part. A boy sits on a chair with a piece of paper (of standard form A4) on his lap. Then a girl sits on all of it xD and they both must rumple this sheet. Without help of hands again xD. The pair, whose sheet will be rumpled more than other’s ones, will win. This time Jon decided to change pairs. I was tore apart from Beckett and attached to Gerard. The perspective to crumple sheet of paper sitting on his lap was making me laugh and seemed to be amusing at all. After hearing about such interesting and exciting game Spence expressed a wish to take part in it. He was lucky, ‘cause one of the girls was free. Gabe refused to play. So, Gerard sat down at a chair, put the sheet of paper on his lap and looked up at me. I wanted to think up some strategy for our win, but I couldn’t. May be, smart thoughts would come during the game. Well, I sat down at Gerard. He put his hands on my waist. I put my ones on sides of his knees. Jon said “Go!” and everybody started to rumple xD. Dasha was with Mikey, as I could remember. Well, in order to make that poor sheet be crumpled as well I was making very funny and foolish movements by my humps xD. Feeling (it’s a right word xD) that Gerard was doing nothing just sitting, I ordered him to crumple the sheet by his knees. I even helped him to do that by my hands. People who didn’t play were taking pics and making videos ‘cause all of that we were doing was veeery funny. And everybody was laughing understanding how much stupid and funny players looked and trying to make some videos xD. Well, the time was over. Jon took all the sheets. Gerard and me looked tired as if we worked hard in a garden xD. But our efforts were not in vain. Our sheet was happened the most crumpled! Jon gave us a prize – ten bucks xD. I took them, gave Gerard a crumpled sheet – the trophy xD – kissed his forehead and walked to Beckett for bragging xD. We all kept drinking and talking. Then Dasha and me remembered a game we played in our youth xD. It’s named “Kitty-kitty – Mew” if to translate into English. The rules are the next. Somebody sits on a chair. The others are behind his back and he can’t see them. Somebody else points at some guy from the others and says “Kitty-kitty”. And he does it for such number of times (with other people) till that who sits on a chair says “Mew” choosing one guy from the others such a way. That who was pointing (let’s call him showman) says a color. There are 11 names of colors that are used in the game – maroon, red, pink, blue, deep blue, violet, purple, orange, black, white and yellow. Each color means an action to do for who sits on chair (who chooses) to whom was chosen.
Maroon means a real kiss;
Red – just slightly kiss lips of each other;
Pink – to kiss a cheek;
Blue – to kiss a neck;
Deep blue – to kiss a belly;
Violet – to kiss a palm of a hand;
Purple – to lick a cheek;
Orange – to bite an ear;
Black – to lock in dark room for some minutes;
White – to dance together;
Yellow – to take off one element of clothes from that whom was chosen.
Well, I remind you that we’d played this game in early youth xD. Strangely, but people agreed to play. Plus we all were drunken as well. We wanted to have fun after all!
First who should choose and say “Mew” was Spencer. He turned around. I was “the showman” and began pointing at each of other guys and saying “kitty-kitty”. Spencer hit Jon. I smiled widely and said the color – deep blue xD. Jon made a strange sound expressing his revulsion xD and Spence turned around to see Jon who was raising his own shirt. Spence began worrying and asking with a fear “Deep blue? What does it mean? What I have to do? I forgot the meaning. What I must do?”
“Kiss Jon’s stomach. Right in the middle, please”, I announced.
“Here you are, Ira. You’re mean”, Spence tapped his forehead.
“Hurry up, Spence. How long I must stand here?” Jon said and came closer.
After a second we all were witnesses of a tender touch of Spence’s lips to Jon’s tummy xD. it was hilarious. Jon looked unflappable. Spence turned pink and red like a schoolboy xD. People was laughing and everybody decided to continue the game. Jon became our “showman”, and I was on a place of Spence. After 5 times of “kitty-kitty”, I eventually muttered my “mew” waiting for a task with a fear. Jon yelled yellow with a joy. I turned around trying to remember what I should do at that color. I saw Beckett coming to me. it meant I chose him by my “mew”. And I felt I didn’t care where to kiss him to xD. But yellow means to take some clothes off of him. I pulled out his belt and put it on myself xD. I returned to the people. Jon sat down at the chair. Beckett changed him at the place of the showman. By way “kitty-mew” Jon chose Dasha. Beckett said a blue color. Jon was glad of a guy he chose. Dasha set her neck for a kiss and got it. Then she became the showman and Beckett had to select. It was happened so that he chose Gerard. I was sure Dasha wanted to yell “maroon”. Actually she did it, but into Russian and only I got her. We laughed. I asked her to be not so cruel. Nobody understood what was between us and it’s good xD. only Lord knows what the boys would do to us for Dasha’s first ask for a color xD. Well, she nodded to me still laughing and said “red”.
“The same shit again”, Gerard sighed and came up to Will.
They both showed their fists to Dasha threatening, but touched their lips slightly and walked apart with our applauses. They three found their places. Dasha was silent for a long time not knowing when to say “mew”. Finally, Frank was selected by her. Gerard said “orange” and was content by his own humanism as I could see xD. Dasha bit Frank’s ear funny and everything was going good. And of course nobody was forgetting to drink xD. Well, after some time somehow it was happened such a way that I was sitting on a chair and Jon was the showman. After some of “kitty-kitty” I said “mew”. Jon asked a blue color. I fastly turned around to find out whose neck I’d have to kiss. I saw Gabe. He waved his hand to me laughing. Jon was saying “Kiss his neck!”. The others were laughing. Gabe and me walked to each other. I looked up.
“I can’t reach your neck. You’re too tall”, I said.
“No, it’s you too small”, he smirked kindly and raised me.
He simply stood me on the chair.
“Guys, can you hurry your asses up?” Gerard asked.
“You’re late for a train?” I snapped.
Everybody laughed.
“Don’t fear to get me excited!” Gabe yelled jokingly when I began kissing his neck xD.
Everybody laughed. And I don’t know what faces Gabe was making, but people was laughing hard xD. I put my hand around his neck, he put his ones around my waist. I was still kissing. It looked like we’d only begun…um…all of that xD.
“Ira, calm down”, Dasha first said.
“Somebody, take her apart from him”, Beckett laughed.
“Does she hold him strong?” Frank joked.
“I think six men will be barely able to take her away from his neck”, it was Jon’s words.
I laughed and came down off the chair with a help of Gabe.
“Fools”, we both pointed at them laughing.
Next funny moment was with Dasha and Mikey. They got deep blue color. Mikey should kiss her belly.
“Make it the best you can, man”, Frank cheered Mikey.
He gave us a grin. Dasha came to him.
“I think we should take videos and then show Pete how she spends her free time”, Jon joked.
Dasha made a finger wave laughing.
“I’m serious. Pete should know”, Jon said.
“It’s a bad joke, Jon. Really”, I said stifling a laugh.
We all saw that Mikey raised Dasha’s shirt and touched her belly by his lips.
“It’s tickling”, she said seriously.
“Wow”, somebody said.
“I’m afraid of tickling”, she explained.
“Okay, I got you”, Mikey broke the…kiss.
“Thanks”, Dasha said.
***laughter***
Next hilarious thing was happened to me and Frank.
Frank was choosing and chose me. Dasha was the showman and said the color – yellow. I came up to Frank with a brave look like “take off anything you want”. He was smiling mischievously and looking me up and down. Then he beckoned me to duck my head to his face. I did it and he whispered into my ear “Take off your bra. Only bra”.
“I won’t do it! Are you crazy?! I won’t take it off!” I said loudly looking down at him.
“We’re just playing”, he said smiling.
“Ira, it’s unfair to refuse. Do what he’s asking for”, Will said.
“You all are just fucking perverts. This game wasn’t meant for this. For what he needs me to take off my bra?” I said appealing to people.
But they just laughed knowing then what I’d have to do in the game.
“’Cause it’s funny. It will be funny”, Jon said.
“It’s just a game. Take it easy”, Frank added.
“And rules say that HE must take some clothes off of you”, Gabe said.
“You need so much to see my bra?” I said.
“If you refuse to play, we all will refuse to call you our friend”, Beckett said.
“As if my tongue will turn to call you MY friends after”, I snapped.
“Do or go out of the game with the shame!” Spencer yelled joyfully.
I gave them all a fingerwave smiling, zipped my hoodie and walked to Frank. He got up quickly.
“I hate you”, I said to him.
His arms slid under my clothes and found the clip of my bra.
“I hate you”, I repeated but smiled.
“You won’t regret, babe”, Mikey joked.
“How can you know?” somebody asked and we all laughed.
Actually, not everybody had fun. I saw that Gerard was somewhere aside and looking at me and Frank as if we were pure idiots. Well, we were kinda it xD, but his look was strange. Well, I just put it aside ‘cause it’s not my deal to make EVERYBODY get fun. I helped Frank to pull my bra out from under my shirt and hoodie.
“Are you happy now?” I wanted to ask this, but I heard Gerard already did it.
I looked at him.
“Sure, man”, Frank replied and tapped his shoulder passing him by.
“yeah, you have the reason”, Gerard said ironically.
“yep”, Frank replied only this.
It was pretty strange. But only for me ‘cause everyone was busy with continuing the game.
“Hope you give it back to me soon. It’s not a gift”, I said to Frank.
“After some time”, he smiled.
I’d have to be the showman another time, so I didn’t pay attention to anything that couldn’t bring me fun. We carried on the game for some time more and used other colors. Girls were kissing, boys and girls were kissing, dancing and doing another bullshit. Then I felt I was becoming sober. I said it to Dasha. She felt the same xD. we glanced at people. They seemed to us sober too and we suggested another game.
It’s called “Bear”. The sense is the next. Some people sit down at a table. Each of them has his own glass and some cash. There’s a showman in this game too. Glasses are poured with vodka, people put some cash (5 bucks, for example) under their own glasses. The showman announce “the bear came” and everybody should move under the table as if they hide from the non-existent bear xD. After the showman’s words “the bear went away”, participants sit down at the table, drunk down their own glasses, put some more cash, pour the glasses and wait for the showman’s words “the bear came”. The showman doesn’t make them wait long, of course. Who win here? Who will have power to crawl up under the table another time xD. Drinking without snacking and moving up and down under a table is a thrilling mix xD. After explaining how to play, there were not much people who would like to play. Jon wanted to be the showman and nobody was against. This man definitely has skills for being a referee xD. Well, participants were Spence, Frank, Mikey, Gabe, Dasha and me. Dasha burrowed some money at Gerard, I burrowed at Will. He gave me money with no hesitation ‘cause he has known I’d win and bring a sevenfold sum to him xD. We all sat down, poured the vodka in our glasses and put five bucks under them. Jon said “the bear came” and laughed looking at us who were crawling under the table, also laughing and putting aside the chairs xD. After some seconds we heard Jon’s “the bear went away” and we came back to our seats. We drunk, put 5 bucks else under our own glasses and poured them again. And we spent 4 times such a way. First who didn’t return from under the table was Spence. Gerard pulled him out and put next to a couch. Next our loss was Gabe. He crawled under the table but didn’t continue to play. He made his unsteady way to a couch mumbling “it’s a horrible game” and crushed on the couch barely treading on Spence xD. But the rest of us only began having fun! We were drinking and moving up and down under the table with so much joy and excitement! We liked to sit under the table so much that one time even didn’t hear Jon’s words. We were sitting and talking and couldn’t get why Jon gave us so much time xD. There was so interesting under the table. It’s like as if you’re alone and in the crowded room simultaneously. Cool feeling. Honestly xD. Well, after some time we heard the people became louder, began laughing and other. Dasha and me wanted to check what’s up, but boys didn’t let us do it saying that it was just another trick. We all wanted to take a bottle of vodka from the table and carry on the merriment there xD. But after some time we heard somebody knocked down the table. We defined it was Jon. We looked out.
“Are you gonna to come out?” he asked us. “The bear went away an hour ago”, he added ironically.
We came back to our places blinking ‘cause of a bright (after time in a darkness of under the table) light of the room.
“May be, it’s enough, dudes?” Jon asked us.
“No!” we all shaked our heads and drunk other glasses xD.
After 5 times more Mikey refused to make damage to his liver and other health xD. We kept playing at three. But Frank was with us not very long. And Dasha and me stayed alone in the game. A huge pile of money was calling for us and beckoning xD. No matter there were just $5 banknotes most of them. People was asking us to stop, but we were going on. Eventually Jon announced we both were winners. It stopped us. We grabbed the money and crashed on a couch to make an order with them. After thrusting and shoving them into pockets we understood we were tired and drunken dead xD.
I dunno how long the party lasted from that moment. In our room Dasha and me were brought. I was brought by Gerard and Jon. Dasha was brought by Will and Gabe. I think they had such a work with their friends and bandmates too after xD.
Next morning we met with a quarrel. Pete, Joe and Andy, as it seemed, have visited our room last night(((. Exactly in that moment when we were brought there. They told we were throwing money around the room putting them out from our décolletés, hiccupping loudly and behaving ourselves very bad. What we could reply? We explained we were making friends with people and organizing a great time to them xD. We apologized to guys and they calmed down. Actually, only Pete was angry and Andy was discontent with our immoral behavior. Trohman doesn’t care what I do!
