I'm Leaving You Tonight
Pre-show nerves...
[a/n: when I started this Mikey & Alicia weren’t married yet so their wedding is still on the date that everyone presumed.]
Mikey’s P.O.V
Well sound check was uneventful…as usual, but that feeling is still there niggling at me! Gee’s probably right, but what if he isn’t? What’s going to happen? Oh I need to shut the hell up & stop thinking…everything will be fine…it has to be!
I need something to do to kill some time. But nothing in this dressing room excites me. I look around & see Gerard scribbling away, Ray & Bob playing the bongo game (as usual), & Frank, well being Frank. Wow there must be something wrong with me, usually there’s an endless list of things for me to do & now not even my bass is interesting me.
I know! I’ll ring Alicia, it’ll be like what late morning back home, she should be up & I highly doubt she’ll be out at that time…probably just lounging around at home with the cats. Oh shit how do I do the whole ringing overseas thing again?!
“Raaaayy!!!” I whine knowing he’ll be the one to sort it for me.
“Mikey, I’m busy can’t you see.” Ray answers without taking his eyes off the screen once.
“Can’t you just pause it for just a second? I wanna ring Alicia & I forgot how to do the overseas dialling thing.”
“Gah fine! If it’ll shut you up for a bit.” He sighs, admitting defeat. He comes over presses some buttons & voila I hear ringing.
“Yay thank you Ray!”
“Yeah, yeah it’s ok.” He waves as he sits back down & starts up the games again. Haha he’s so addicted to that damn bongo game!
“Hello?” I hear a familiar voice say.
I quickly put the phone to my ear, “Hey baby, how are you?”
“Oh Mikey! I’m fine, are you ok? You hardly ever ring me out of the blue like this before a gig…” Well this is going to keep me occupied for a bit…
A few hours later - showtime.
We’ve been onstage playing now over an hour & now we’ve just come back on for our encore as My Chemical Romance. Right now we’re playing I’m Not Okay & despite that niggling feeling in the back of my mind, I join Frank in rocking out all over the stage.
I decide to go up & play by Gee for a bit & while I’m there I start panicking. That feeling’s come back & it’s worse than ever. Oh shit I just fucked up a bit, I hope no-one noticed. I nervously scan the crowd for any sign of unusual activity & nothing. So what the hell is it that’s causing me all this aggro?!
Then suddenly everything went black.
