Dead and Broken

Andy POV

It was so difficult to get a plane ticket at the last minute. I ended waiting in the airport for hours. When finally there was a space for me on the plane, it was stopping somewhere for a few hours and then taking me to her.

By the time I got to where she was playing, my body was exhausted from the lack of sleep and my brain was so disorientated that I didn’t even know what time it was.

I called Juliet's tour manager to ask where she was at that moment.

“Dude she is going on stage is a few minutes. She is so pissed at you that I think she may kill you.” He told me on the phone. I didn’t care if she was going to kill me, I had to talk to her.

When I got to the venue she was already playing. I was on the side of the stage hiding, so she would not see me before she finished the show.

I could see on the way she was performing that she was really hurt. She was not jumping or walking across the stage. She was just in front of her mic singing and her voice was cracking. I knew the next song was supposed to be ‘End Of The World’, but I was not really sure if she was going to sing it.

When she finished the song, she looked at her tour manager. I could read her lips telling him “I cannot do it”, her eyes were watery. Her tour manager made a sign with his hand for her to breathe in and out and to continue the show.

Juliet stared at the floor for a few seconds and then made a sign with her hand for the band to start playing it.
The crowd went crazy, even before she started singing.

“We flew too close to the sun
so close I thought it was heaven
If hell is a life without love
…”

Her eyes were in the emptiness. I just wanted to jump on stage and take her in my arms.

“…
Slept on your side of the bed
replayed the things that I should have said
I wish I had summoned the strength
to leave alone what I couldn’t change
…”

The tears started to slide from her face, and she started looking at the stage to hide it.

“…
I will survive,
but for tonight
I’d swear on my life
this is the end of the world”

I got closer to the stage feeling her pain breaking my heart.

“The sky’s on fire
All the stars disappear
no signs of life without you here
…”

That’s when she saw me and forgot everything around her and missed part of the lyrics. At that moment her eyes were not rage, but pain.
After a few seconds, she finished the song.

“..but for tonight
I’d swear on my life this is the end of the world”

She cleaned the tears from her face and looked at the crowd that was now screaming. She gived them a forced smile.

“I’m sorry guys but… I need a minute” she said to them. Walking to, what I thought, was me, but she just passed me going backstage crying her eyes out.

“Juliet…” I called her, but she just ignored me. So I followed her to the toilet.

She tried to lock me out, but I busted in, locking the door behind me. She covered her watery eyes with her hands, backing up until she hit the wall.

I got closer to her grabbing one of her arms, but she quickly slapped me hard with the other hand. With my free hand I touched the side of my face that was now red and hot. I was still holding her arm with my other hand.

She was now trying to look at me in between the tears. I didn’t know what to say to calm her, I was sure that whatever I said was going to cause another slap.

“Juliet!! Where are you?” her tour manager said from outside. She looked toward the door scared like it was her first show.

“Can you finish the show?” I calmly asked her “You don’t have to, if you don’t want it.” Her eyes went back to me, but this time furious. In one move she forced her arm out of my hand.

“The people out there, love me!... not like you!” she said close to my face, pushing me to the side and leaving me holding the knife she just put though my heart.

“Security! Take this guy out of here!” she said outside. And less than five seconds, two big guys came in and took me outside.
