I am back updating this story (soon) but meanwhile I checked it and unfortunately we seem to have lost 2 chapters, I don't have them saved, so what's gone is gone ... Also there's lots of strange stuff happened to the text, I corrected some of it but it will take more time, some words have been lost and ... well if you will read it, you'll see what I mean! Text needs some major editing! But meanwhile, I am working on a new chapter and thank you for waiting! :)

They were sitting on the floor in Daniel’s living room. Darren’s eyes red and puffy, traces of make up on his face. Daniel sipping Jack Daniel’s. Straight.
“I don’t think I can do this any longer,” Daniel sighed finally.
“Do what?” Darren asked like nothing had happened.
“I don’t …. I don’t think I am born to have fans waiting for me outside of my house… I don’t think I am born to do meets and greets and all those interviews make me sick and I don’t …. Darren…?” Daniel tried to look at Darren’s face but Darren was turning away. Daniel continued, “I don’t even get excited at chart stuff any more…”
“Do you care about this band at all?” Darren asked, his face still turned away.
“I care about you,” Daniel answered. “This band to me is YOU. Yes, I care about you. But I can’t say I care about anything else right now…”
“So … that’s where we are now…” Darren whispered.
“That’s where we are…” Daniel whispered back, “I want you to be with me, this is beyond my control, I don’t want this band any more, I just want you to be with me.”
“Daniel… I am with you …”
“No, you’re not. We stop this madness and we live like normal people. I want out of this circus forever. With or without you. And it breaks my heart to say this, but if you want to go on with the band, I will …”
“You will what?” Darren asked
“I will leave this band. With or without you. Hope you pick your brain up and leave it with me!”
“Daniel, what the fuck are you talking about?” Darren asked quietly.
“I am talking about life. Our life. This is fucking up everything I’ve ever loved,” he gestured around him, gestured out of the window. “This is killing the only relationship …. the only thing closest to a relationship that I have ever had… ”
They were both silent for a while. Darren still didn’t look at Darren.
Daniel continued, “I don’t want success at this price. I don’t care. I don’t give a fuck. I don’t give a rat’s ass. I just want to love you. Why all the other shit had to come in the way of me loving you?”
Darren turned to face Daniel. He had been thinking…
“You actually want out of this band? Of this band you and me created?” he finally asked, looking Daniel in the eyes.
Daniel hesitated. “I didn’t say I want out of it. I said…… I guess I did say it, didn’t I? … I want out of it cause it is fucking killing us, US, me and you together.”
“Who’s being dramatic here?” Darren asked with a weak smile. “I don’t want to hold you down, I don’t want to keep you here against your will.”
Daniel searched for Darren’s eyes but couldn’t make an eye contact with him. He desperately wanted to know if Darren even realizes what he is saying. Is he just saying it knowing that eventually it will not mean anything if they have a good shag now or does he really mean it …
Darren finally raised his head and looked at Daniel. His eyes were not saying much. His face was lifeless. He was tired.
“We will go through this new album and this tour. Then you’re free to go.”
He crawled up to Daniel and put his head into Daniel’s lap. Daniel automatically put his hands in Darren’s hair and ruffled it. So much love in that simple movement – Daniel’s hands running through Darren’s hair. It’s not gonna be over as fast as Daniel thought. It will take such a long time. Making it more painful. Making everything more difficult. Darren was asleep, on the floor of his living room, head in Daniel’s lap…
