Death at the concert (well nearly!), chapter 1
ALEX'S POV
I was looking forward to going to the concert. It was the only thing in my life that I was looking forward to. I mean, my Mum and Dad, I haven't seen them. I haven't seen my brothers or sisters for ages either. I had no money and I couldn't pay the rent on my flat and I was staying at my friends apartment which, by the way, was robbed the first night I got here. Sounds like a great life. NOT!
So about 4 hours before the concert (I had to get ready then, the MEN arena is AGES away), I put on some thick black eyeliner, my jeans I had made to look like Billie Joe's and my St. Jimmy t-shirt. I quickly ran a comb through my thick black locks and pulled on a black denim jacket.
After I made sure I was ready, I caught the bus into Manchester. It cost loads but I didn't care. If I knew what was going to happen at this concert, then I probably wouldn't have gone.
BILLIE JOE'S POV
It was just another concert. Just another million fans loving us. I didn't think it would be different. Until Mike came up to me. He had a strange, kind of pained expression on his face. That was when I knew something was up. I mean, Mike doesn't go around looking like a dog which has just been kicked up its backside. "Err... thingy... just... well... you know... erm...." he mumbled. "WHAT!" I practically yelled. I knew that this was important. I was getting impatient. "Billie... well... thingy said... well... the concert should be cancelled." He finally said. "WHAT!" I shouted in disbelief. What is Mike going on about? "Well, you know your ex, well she's sent a maniac to try and murder you for splitting up with her and having affairs." I stared at Mike. "You don't believe that pile of..." I couldn't think of a word bad enough to call it. This was strange for me, because I can normally think of a thousand for the slightest thing. "Mike, do you believe that Adrienne has gone and sent a Looney to murder me." Mike nodded quickly, but changed to shaking when I stamped on his foot. "Well..." he muttered and turned. I stuck my finger up at him. Who cares about him? When Mike glanced back at me, I pretended I was looking at my watch. Only 10 minutes before I apparently get assassinated. Goodbye.
ALEX'S POV
When I finally got off the bus, I walked straight into the concert, where about a thousand security were staring and checking the people going in for the gig. I was surprised at this. Last time, I waltzed straight in without being checked. Whoa, about 10000 people were checking this one shifty looking guy. "No drinks" commanded one, taking the man's bottle of coke. "Aw, man, am thirsty" moaned the shifty guy snatching it back. "NO DRINKS!!" Yelled the guard and reluctantly, the man gave it back. After I'd been checked, I saw the shifty guy take out another bottle from a backpack. I wondered how he got it in. As I stared at it, the guy said to me "You better leave now, because there'll be trouble at this gig." I noticed the man had opened the coke, but not taken a drink. Whatever. Who's fussed about a shifty guy? I'm here to enjoy myself!
