I walked over the door and opened it. Looking at the floor as I done so meant when I looked up to see who was on the other side I wasn't really shocked. Josh. I just let him into the room and went back over to the spot where I was previously sitting.
"Hayley, what's wrong?" He asked, curiously.
"Oh, nothing. I think I'm just really tired. This tour is really taking it out of me" I said avoiding eye contact.
"Hayley you can tell me anything. I will be here for you no matter what" He said with a smile. He came over and sat next to me and put his arm around me. I just smiled. "So you ready to go and show the crowd why they stuck around?" He said while jumping to his feet. He turned to me and smiled his signature grin, holding his hand out for me to talk. I looked at it for a few seconds then took it, he pulled me up and into his arms for a cuddle. I just took the embrace and accepted it.
The show was intense. Every time I looked to the side of the stage, Gerard was there. Watching my every move. Every word I sang felt like it was being analyzed by him. It was going okay until the new song from 'RIOT!' came up.
"So, you guys look like you're having fun. Would you like to hear a new song. As some of you might know we have a new record coming out in 2 days, named 'RIOT!' Well we thought we would treat you guys by playing the first single off the album, how does that sound?" The crowd roared in response. The intro played through the speakers and the crowd went crazy. The guitars and drums kicked in and now it was my turn.
"I'm in the business of misery let's take it from the top
she's got a body like an hour glass, it's ticking like a clock." I sang my heart out. The lyrics meant a lot to me and I hoped to god that I didn't fuck it up.
The song ended and the crowd wanted more. So we finished with our usual. Pressure.

Anna's POV
So now that the guys are on tour things have settled down a lot. Bob seems a little stressed though. Probably due to the new record. Something seems wrong though, like there is some sort of tension hidden in the past that is slowly making some appearance. No matter what happens I know I'll never go near Gerard again on my own.
I don't want to hide the secret anymore, but I fear what he would do if I told anyone. I wonder what Hayley would say if I could told her. She would probably think less of him. I mean why would he do what he done? She might see how fucked up he really is. Then maybe she will help him. I can't help but worry about his soul.
.....................................................................
Gerard's POV
I just want to show her I'm not the failure that she thinks I am. I can't keep hiding. I need to prove to her, I know she still loves me. I just need to show to her that she does. I know she feels something.
The radio was playing softly in the back ground. The song I could hear was so soft and beautiful. I listened to the lyrics and got an idea. I'll sing it to her.
I went to speak to the tech guys and set it all up. I learned the piano accompaniment and the lyrics. It was simple enough. I just had to make sure she'd be around. I asked Mikey to make sure she'd be there and he said he'd try his best. I loved my brother. I promised myself no matter how nervous or whatever he reaction is. I will not turn to alcohol.

Hayley's POV
Mikey was dragging me out into the parking lot. We had just arrived in Georgia a few hours ago and we had the day off. I was hoping to relax. The parking lot had random members of staff and I noticed the members of MCR were sitting outside there bus. I didn't know what was going on. Alicia, Jamia, Christa and Anna were sitting with them also. They were just smiling.
"Mikey what's going on?" I asked very curiously. I then noticed a piano and microphone. I started panicking a little, "Mikey please tell me what's going on" He just smiled. The I noticed a chair near the piano. He dragged me over and sat me down.
I looked back to watch him walk over to the rest of the guys. I looked helplessly at them and they just smiled. The out of nowhere Gerard appeared at the piano, he just smiled that half smile and sat down. He looked sober which was a start. I knew something was going down.
Katie, don't cry, I know
You're trying your hardest
And the hardest part is letting go
Of the nights we shared
Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting
But compared to your eyes, nothing shines quite as bright
And when we look to the sky, its not mine, but i want it so
Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
(I know he's there and)
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
(while across the room, he stares)
I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes
Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess
But I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable at best
You're all that I hoped I'd find
In every single way
And everything I could give
Is everything you couldn't take
Cause nothing feels like home, you're a thousand miles away
And the hardest part of living
Is just taking breaths to stay
Because I know I'm good for something
I just haven't found it yet
But I need it
So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
(I know he's there and)
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
(while across the room, he stares)
I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes
Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess
But I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable at best
Ladada ladada ladadaoh ohhh
And this will be the first time in a week
That I'll talk to you
And I can't speak
It's been three whole days since I've had sleep
Because I dream of his lips on your cheek
And I got the point that I should leave you alone
But we both know that I'm not that strong
And I miss the lips that made me fly
So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
(I know he's there and)
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
(while across the room, he stares)
I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes
Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess
But I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable
And I can live without you
But without you I'll be miserable
And I can live without you
Oh, without you I'll be miserable at best
I just stared at him intently. He was beautiful while he sung this song. I was speechless.
