Four weeks later it was the night of the concert. I put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt with the band on the front. Theo wore the same outfit. I curled my hair and we left. At the concert we got front row and backstage passes. The concert was started and it was amazing they preformed so many songs before halftime. Everyone was spilling out of the stadium to get food and bathroom brakes. "Can we watch the rest from the side?" I asked gently tugging on Theo's arm. He laughed and we got our passes. We went up and got photos with everyone. The drummer slipped something into the back of my top but I couldn't reach it so I just left it till I got home. The second half began and the drummer kept looking at me. I didn't know what to do so I pretended not to notice. That was until it was a guitar solo and the drummer literally pulled me onto the stage. I did not want to be there I looked back and Theo and he was raging. He looked at his phone and started typing quickly. The end of the concert and me and Theo were walking out from backstage when I got yanked back hard. It was the drummer again. I felt very uncomfortable with him touching me and with Theo's looks. I had Theo glaring at me and the drummer like he wanted to kill us and the drummer caressing my hand. I tried to pull away and go back to Theo but it was useless. Soon Theo got restless and left. Shit. "Can you let go?" I asked scared and desperate to leave. "No. I need to give you something." He said handing me a ring. He finally let go of my hand and I walked away quickly putting the ring in my back pocket as there was writing inside and I wanted to read it. I was outside on the street and it was empty apart from a black SUV. It wasn't far of a walk so I started to walk home not knowing what was happening. I got home and Theo's car wasn't there. I opened the door with my key and walked in. There was a note on the counter. 'I've gone to a job interview don't call' it read. I knew Theo was desperate to go to work after they fired him so I did as the note said. I took the ring and examined it. It had the words I love you in it then I remembered the note. I took off my top and the note fell out. It was the song lyrics to the song and had changed the name to mine. Dear lord. I was scared and that was to out it lightly. I ran downstairs and grabbed Theo's lighter. I put it in his little bin he lites all his paper work in and photos he doesn't like. I opened it and say a photo of him and his family is in there. My heart broke. I took it out before I put the note and ring in there. I lit a piece of paper and dropped it in. I stood there watching it burn when a word feeling came over me. I placed my hand over the flame just staring at it. Then everything goes black..
I walk in the house and it was quiet. Sofia definitely would have been home by now then I saw it. A bright orange light from the garden. Fuck fuck fuck. I rush out and I see her standing there staring at a open flame. I was still a little mad at her but I still care about her. I was drowning in my thoughts I saw her move. Her hand was over the growing flame so it was almost touching. I drop my keys and run over. I groan her by the waist and pull her back quickly. She still wasn't bothered. I checked her pulse and it was fine I take her upstairs to our bedroom and I rest her on the bed. She had something in her hand it was the photo of me and my family. She saved it. Except I didn't want it to be saved. I go back outside and drop it in the fire. I noticed something though. Something that wasn't burning. I put the fire out and use gloves to get it out. There was a ring with I love you inside and a note. Sort of a poem with her name in it. She is in some deep shit.
I wake up and I'm in the bed. I look at my hand and it was fine. Was it a dream? I walk downstairs and Theo is there. I go to give him a hug and or kiss bit he walked off. The more was on the table from the drummer. It wasn't burning though it was just a little coloured. This wasn't good. I try to go explain but he kept avoiding me like the plague. It was only seven and I was getting hungry. I made a omelette for me and Theo I left it on the bedside table while he was in the bathroom. I went back downstairs and I ate alone at the table. I finished 10 minutes later and I at on the sofa watching tv. I knew I screwed up and he was mad at me. Very mad at me. I knew that note broke him and the whole drummer situation I mean. Who would t be mad at that. I knew he didn't want to see me. It was late around midnight so I went upstairs fighting back tears praying he doesn't say anything because I knew that would brake me. I took a pillow and out my phone on charge. "Darling what are you doing?" He said clearly having just woken up. No no no no no. A tear escapes my eye and he turns on the light. "Love?" Another tear falls. Every time he uttered a word it broke me.
