Part Five- The warp tour
Two days later....
The Warp tour grounds were crazy! There were bands everywhere! From small indie bands to the hottest bands that you would see at hot topic! Tour buses, trailers, vans, and cars were parked about everywhere since the parking lot was busting out of its limbs. The ground was very dusty and dirty with cigarette buds and soda cans sprawled around the place. Robyn loved it.
Robyn: This place is huge!
Gerard: heh yeah wait till you get to the stage area.
After the late coffee talk two nights ago Robyn and Gerard have been hanging out a lot.
Robyn: Ohmigod was that Adam from Taking back Sunday that just went into that potter potty?!
Whoa! Is that the Killers?! Oh oh wait Adams coming out of the jon! ADA- (About to call out to Adam and yell his name when somebody’s arm head locks Robyn. Robyn shrieks and flips the person.) It turns out to be Bert McCracken from The Used!
Bert: uggg....
Gerard: heh shouldn’t have done that Bert...
Robyn: Oh Gosh! Y-your Bert McCracken!
Bert: (Gets up holding his back) Uh yeah. Nice to meet you.
Robyn: Im so so sorry!
Bert: Its alright. I shouldn’t have snuck up on you...(looks at Gerard then back at Robyn) soo G-man is this your girlfriend?
Gee/Rob: NO! (Looks at each other)
Gerard: I-I mean she’s my friend.....but not a girl girl friend or anything...
Bert: (laughs) ok ok I get it! You and your girlFRIEND should have a drink with me sometime.
Gee/rob: Um....yeah sure...sometime. (Rob I don’t drink)
Bert: oops gotta go see you two love friends later. (Waves off and walks away)
Gerard: uhh just ignore him. He can get pretty annoying at times.
Robyn: Its ok...(they just stand there not knowing what to say)
Gerard: ok....well I gotta go....
Robyn: me too..... (both walk away rather quickly)
Later at night today Robyn walked into the tour bus where she found Ray and Bob playing donkey Kong bongo.
Robyn: Hey Where is Gerard?
Ray
sad still staring hard at the screen) oh he’s drinking with Bert.
Robyn: Sits on the couch and sighs.
Bob: What’s wrong?
Robyn: Do you guys think Berts alright to hang out with Gerard?...When I met him I just had a uneasy feeling about him....
Ray: Im not sure Rob....Bert is a pretty difficult dude to hang with...
Bob: OH OH! (Is losing) NO NOOOO! (Bongs faster)
Ray: HA HA Im so kicking your a**!
Robyn: (rolls eyes) Boys. (Turns and looks out the tour bus window with a worried look) Gerard.......
End of part five- the Warp Tour
Part 6 the other side of Gerard
It was the third state that all the bands including MCR (and Robyn) went to during the Vans warp tour and Gerard has kept on coming in the tour bus late at night after drinking with Bert during the tour. This was making Robyn even more worried.
-At a MCR stage practice-
Gerard: ugh...Stop.....STOP!
The band stops playing with annoyed faces.
Frank: sighs* what is it this time Gerard?
Gerard: Our sound is all off!
Mikey: Dude we sound fine. Can you please stop complaining and get through the first song atlest?
Ray: Hes right man. We’ve been practicing for a hour on only Helena.
Gerard: I don’t care! Were going to do this song until its right. Now start again. *Gerard ordered gruffly*
Right then Robyn comes in with Starbucks and donuts.
Robyn: Hey guys! Brought some refreshments. Hows the practicing been going?
Frank: Its just dandy with Mr. Grinch over here barking orders at us. (Puts his guitar down and gets a coffee)
Gerard: WELL I WOULDN’T HAVE TO BE BARKING ORDERS AT YOU IF YOU WOULD JUST PLAY THE DAMN SONG RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. (Gerard yelled at frank through the microphone making it feedback with the sound screeching)
Frank: ( this made frank even more mad) WELL I’VE BEEN PRACTICING WHILE YOU WERE GETTING DRUNK EVERY NIGHT AND YOU DON’T SEE ME BEING A a**! (Frank jumped back on stage getting close up to Gerard’s face)
Gerard: You wanna try saying that again mutchkin? (He said through gritted teeth)
At that remark Frank lunges out at Gerard with great force making them both fall on the stage floor. They both are now fighting making the microphone fall over as Gerard and Frank both take a punch at each other
Robyn: HEY! STOP IT! (She and Ray try to pull Gerard off of frank as Mikey and Bob are trying to pull frank away from Gerard)
They finally get them both to sit down as Robyn looks at Gerard.
Robyn: Gerard, What the hell?! What is up with you lately?
Gerard: What is up with me? WHAT’S UP WITH ME?! This whole ******** band is what’s wrong with me! They keep on sitting on their asses all day long and are playing like s**t lately!
Robyn: Gerard stop saying crap like that, all you guys are friends-
Gerard: scoffs* like you know anything about us. Why don’t you stop being a b***h and-
Bob: Gerard shut up! (Bob speaks up tightening his grip on his pissed off friend)
Gerard: ******** off! (Gerard cuts Bob off with a threatening glare)
Robyn looks at Gerard and sees the bruises on his face from frank. His eyes were blood shot with bags under them and he looked paler than the make up he wore during concerts. He was defiantly drinking last night with Bert again. Rob has never seen him like this before and it kinda scared her a bit.
Robyn: Gerard...you gotta stop drinking so much lately. Its really doing something to you.
Gerard: so what if I’ve been getting drunk lately. Its my own business so you can just stay the hell out of it! (Gerard spits at Robyn)
All of a sudden, (SMACK) goes Robyn’s hand across his face. Surprised by the sudden action by Robyn Gerard just stares at Robyn while holding his hand to his badly bruised and pale face.
Robyn: Stop it! Just stop it! Look at what you’ve been doing to yourself! You have a ******** problem and its just hurting us more than its hurting you! Look at your friends Gerard, they’ve stuck by you this whole time with this and what do you do?! Get a ******** hangover in the morning then get drunk again with your little drinking buddy Bert! (Robyn is now close to tear as she’s screaming this to Gerard)
Gerard takes a glance at Robyn then at the rest of his band mates. Ray, bob, Mikey, and frank, are looking at Gerard with such a sad look like they really don’t know what’s going to happen to their friend anymore. To tell the truth Gerard didn’t even know who he was anymore. He just couldn’t stand seeing them give him that look right now especially Robyns who was now seeming like she was going to break down any moment.
Gerard: Im done for the day. (Gerard whispered as he slowly broke from bobs grasp and began to walk out of the practice room)
The door closes as the rest of MCR and Robyn are silently standing there not knowing what to do next but to look down at the floor.
