In fact, his expression had become stricken. God layne, could you think of a stupider excuse? He looked up to see a unconvinced Jerry. "I don't know man, maybe tomorrow night? I gotta get home, clean the place up, and do some other chores." he drifted off, not even bothering to finish the sentence. It's been a while since we've all been able to get together and hang out!" "Without a goodbye? Well, I was gonna ask, wanna come with me and the guys to go get a few drinks? Surely home can wait a few hours. He didn't want his best friend to see the desperatenss in his eyes. "Was just heading home." He was suddenly thankful of the dim lighting in the room. Where you going?" Jerry looked concerned. Right as he was about to walk out the back door, he felt a hand on his shoulder. His stomach was starting to feel nauseous and he didn't want to stick around long enough to let him friends see him get sick all over the place. Layne didn't want him to think anything was wrong, so when Jerry sat back down, he did too, with a forced grin.įinally, later after they left the stage, he walked away from the other guys - who were joking around, laughing, and discussing something that Layne couldn't hear and didn't care about anyways - and went to retrieve his coat and car keys. He knew Jerry was nervous about this performance and was watching his best friend closely the whole time. As much as he didn't want to, he looked at Jerry, questioning whether they should play another song. When the song was over, he felt relieved, giving the crowd a thanks and walking away.īut they quickly started yelling for another song and he could feel his stomach churn, knowing his journey home would surely be delayed now. A pain that would slowly consume him if he didn't get back to his apartment soon. As the end of the song dragged out, he was beginning to feel a slight pain creep in. He had no idea the unplugged performance would take this long, and while he was having fun, he suddenly could feel his needles calling to him. By the time they were playing the song "Over Now", Layne was ready to go home.
