YHIB-Ch13:Andy

CHAPTER 13: Andy

We were all in the back stage room, joking and laughing. "Five minutes until Panic! At The Disco go live, people. Five minutes!" The security guard told us. Someone tapped me on the shoulder. It was Brendon, he nudged me to step out of the room with him.
"Ummm…" I started to say.
"I can fix your problem. You're Gerard problem perhaps?" He said quietly.
"How did you…" My heart was racing.
"I have my ways, but that not the point." He was circling me. "You want Gerard, I want Frank. I know a way we can both get what we want." He whispered in my ear.
"And how are you gonna do that?" He touched the gold pocket watch that hung on his vest. "And that's supposed to do..." I started to say.
"Hypnosis." He said quickly.
"You have got to be kidding me" I started to laugh.
"Alright if you don't believe me…" He shrugged and started to walk away.
"Okay, okay, okay. If you can pull off this hypnosis trick I'm in." I was calming down. He grinned and removed the watch from his vest. He tapped one of the security guards. He swung the watch in front of him and his eyes glowed green.
"Act like a dog." He told the man. The guy's eyes flashed red and he dropped to the floor barking and chasing his ass in circles. My jaw dropped. "Sit." And the guard sat like a canine. "Turn back in to your normal self" Brendon demanded staring into the glowing eyes with pocket watch swaying back and forth.
"Uhh. What am I doing on the floor? And why do I have a headache?" The man said kneeling on the floor.
"You tripped and hit your head." Brendon lied helping him up. My jaw still hung open. He gave me a look with an eye brow raised.
"So what's the plan?" Before he could answer an urgent voice appeared.
"Brendon there you are. We have to be out there like now." Spencer was dragging him on stage. I followed them into the room. After Brendon had talked to the crowd a bit he started to sing about a girl bleeding on a floor.
"That's terrible." I thought. After less than a half hour of doing nothing and spacing out my drum sticks were placed in my hands.
"I thought you might need these." Pete said. I smiled.
"Let's rock and roll!" Patrick and Joe put their arms around us and we walked out on stage like that. Brendon gave me thumbs up. I took a deep breath and the crowd screamed at our appearance.
"Good evening New Jersey! We got a special show for you tonight because the first show is always the luckiest!" Patrick communicated with the fans while I fidgeted with my hair. Was it nerves? I've never had stage fright before. Or maybe I was eager because of Brendon's plan. "Say my name and his in the same breath, I dare you to say they taste the same. Let the leaves fall off in the summer…" Patrick started to sing I Don't Care. I usually played shirtless but for this show I had a blue Vampire Weekend shirt on. Gerard had complimented on it when we went out walking through the town. I think I blushed at that.
What seemed like 10 minutes was actually about twenty five our when we had gotten through America's Suithearts, Coffee's For Closers, What A Catch, Donnie, Tiffany Blews, 27, and the  song we end every show with Saturday. "And with all due respect please welcome the wonderful, musical, inspirational, fashionable …" Patrick's list went on till Gerard walked past me on the stage.
The crowd screamed at Gerard's unexpected entrance. "Um Patrick?"
"…Marvelous- Oh hey Gerard. I was just giving you a proper entrance."
"Oh yeah I see that but I think all these lovely people would like to get on with the concert and get home."
A fan shouted: "No its okay we want to be here forever"
"Well in that case I'll continue." Patrick joked and they both laughed. "Please give it up for My Chemical Romance!" Patrick turned away clapping and the fans cheered. The four of us walked off stage while the other three walked on.
I sat close to the stage listening to Gerard's sweet voice. "Alright get on the dance floor you want to get down I want a gang war…" He sang to Party Poison while I was in a daze. Brendon came and sat down next to me in an open chair.
"Hey, Romeo." He said catching me off guard. I looked over at him. "They'll be stepping off the stage any minute and that's when we act."
"Okay. I assume you have a plan."
"Yeah don't worry." We waited for another two minutes for Gerard to say his thank yous and goodbyes. Brendon distracted the security guards while I keep watch on the band.
"Haha I'll keep the bed warm." I heard Frank joke. I hid behind the wall so he didn't see me. Gerard came off last.
Frank was out of site and Brendon was not back yet. So I improvised. "Hey Gerard!"
"Oh hi, Andy. What's up?" He sounded so confident.
"Oh uh, I just wanted to congratulate you…" "WHAT KIND OF MORON AM I?!"
"Oh well thanks!" He smirked but smiled and turned to leave except…
Brendon punched him in the face.
