Lost In Neverland

Chapter Eight

“I’ll see you guys inside,” I told the group of guys I’d seen around before.

I walked in and I couldn’t help but feel a little bit bad for Stella. She got dragged into this because of me but I feel slightly bad. I mean, I don’t know why I felt bad at all. She decided to come out here with me, she could have stayed in the venue like Daddy said and she wouldn’t be in trouble. She decided to follow me; it wasn’t my fault she got in trouble for it. I didn’t make her follow me, it was her decision, she was an adult, she could make her own decisions.

I walked into the back and saw them running one last lighting test before they doors would open. The radio station that was on in every venue started playing. I walked into my dad’s green room and saw that he and my mother were talking about whatever. I sat on the couch next to my mother and started playing on my phone. I was just bored of having to constantly be going everywhere. I had started learning other languages in the large amount of free time I had so I figured I’d work on it right now.

“Danny, look up here,” my dad said.

“What,” I snapped.

“Did you really have to get Stella in trouble? It’s day fucking one of tour. You had to go and make Alex hate you on day one?”

“Yeah, so what?

“Can you be nice for once? Is it really that difficult to try with other bands kids? You need to have more friends Danny.”

“It doesn’t fucking matter. Just let me do what I do.”

“Danny, language,” my mother scolded.

I rolled my eyes and walked out of the room. I was sick of them acting like they cared because I was certain they did. It wasn’t like they understood anyway. No one understood me; it wasn’t like I needed anyone else anyway. I was just fine by myself and that’s all I knew anyway. I walked past the room where All Time Low was and I heard Alex apologizing to Stella. She wasn’t even in trouble, fucking daddy’s girl. I don’t think I envied her, I mean, she had friends and had gone to actual school but I don’t think I envied her.

She was so lucky to have done that, to have people that would always have her back. They would only hurt her in the end. She’d learn that soon enough and she’d still trust the people around her and they’d help her up that one time. Then they’d leave. They always left. That wasn’t even an exaggeration at this point. Everyone left in the end.

I sat on the floor, my back against the wall. I scrolled through social media seeing what the bands I listened to were doing. They made tour look really fun and maybe it was when you could party and be with people you wanted to be around all the time. Instead of being where ever I was being dragged this time. Maybe I was tired of being everywhere, people would say I’m lucky cause I’ve been all over the world and I still wasn’t happy. I don’t know why I would be happy to be dragged everywhere. I spent more time in a bus then I did at home. I wasn’t like Stella who had friends around her and I didn’t. There was one person I was friends with and I hadn’t seen him in years. We hadn’t talked in years either. I wouldn’t say we were friends any more. I guess you just got used to being alone, Stella would find that out soon enough.

Notes

Sorry this isn't the longest chapter, I've been really busy lately and stressed out so I hope y'all like this. I'm going home tomorrow which I'm more than ready for and I'm going to a concert tomorrow night which is much needed.

On the concert for Straight To DVD II Jack yells out THIS IS A BLOW JOB SONG right before they play Backseat and that is why I love Jack.

There is a podcast called Voice and Verse. Alex is on episode 031. He talks about how several songs came to be. They are super cool stories. The worst for me is Dear Maria being about a stripper. Of course Jack's silly behind likes to shout about Back seat serenade being about sex. I forget which live show it was but Alex says we are going to do this song, and then Jack yells at the top of his lungs, ITS ABOUT SEX! It was so typical Jack and so funny.

Thanks, that means a lot. I kbow I just wanted to make Danny a little shit cause it sounded fun and Bree and I discussed it and thought it would work. I had the revelation that the song Stella was about beer like two weeks back and I got really sad cause then I realized what the lyrics really meant. Glad you're enjoying it, the next update should be up soon, I have some work to do and some group practices but other than that I should have time.

Hi! I just read like the last three chapters because I was super busy so you only get one comment. This is one of my favorite stories. It's so damn cute. You also have really well fleshed out characters so readers are interested in them. In Danny, I am totally picturing a mini Andy. He is a little shit! Lol. I think he is going to be bad for Stella but oh so good at the same time. Something that strikes me as funny is the number of girls running around name Stella. A good many of them are probably named after that beer. There has to be ATL fans out there that named their girls that. So they become a child named after a song that was born from a beer. That's just the way my mind works. :o) anywho, keep up the good work. I can't wait to read more.
