here, i don't really know where this'll go...

the song is falls on me-fuel. the song starts and end with the "----".

A young man hit violently the pavement with a loud thud. He closed his eyes tightly as his head was hurting badly.

-Don't you ever dare come back here! yelled the big bouncer.

Chester groanned, unable to answer properly. All his body was aching. Another wasted night, drinking and getting high in a dirty bar, another fight with the same kind of asshole he was having fights with every nights.

"i'm a wreak" Thought Chester bennington with a slight shudder. He was cold, the alcohol had made him feel warm but now he was laying on the pavement outside and the night was bitter. He had lost his jacket in the fight, even better, he couldn't move his arms and his legs felt numb too, he was really weak.

The drug and alcohol begun to close his eyes with an incredible need to sleep. He let himself fade away into a soundless darkness, so comfortable. However something was holding him back, an annoying noise, a distant voice maybe ? ...a car ?

---------------

I've seen you hangin'round

this darkness where i'm bound

and this black hole i've dug for me

and silently within

with hands touching skin

the shock breaks my disease

and i can breathe

----------------

A warm hand briefly stroked his pale cheek and then gripped his shoulders, shaking him slightly.

-Hey, you're okay ? You can hear me ?

A deep voice, soft but firm, agreeable to hear.

His hazel eyes flew open, he was curious to see the face he could associate such a pretty voice with. His vision was a little blury, yeah, he hadn't really watch the amount of powder he was sniffing, or the glasses of vodka he had drunk. Why should he ? His life meant nothing, he was nothing, why bother to care ?

-Can you stand up ?

The voice got him out of his thoughts, he could see it now, the soft eyes, the tanned skin. Probably an half-asian man.

"He's beautiful, looks like an angel, i wonder what his name is" thought Chester.

The hand squeezed slightly his left shoulder for a while, despite his calm Chester could see the man was worried.

A small smile formed on his lips, not an happy one, not a sad one, just a smile, but not a forced one neither, how rare.

-----------------

And all of your ways

All you dream

falls on me

it falls on me

And your beautiful sky

The light you bring

falls on me

It falls on me.....ahhaaaha.

---------------------

-You think you can stand ? repeated the man.

-I think so. Answered Chester, trying to sound confident.

He tried to sit up with a groanned of pain, the man helped him as much as he could, still holding him by the shoulders.

-My name's Mike Shinnoda. Said Mike, trying to feed the silence.

-Ch-Chester.

-I wish we could have meet in another circumstance. He said with a gentle smile.

Chester felt something tugging on his heart, when was the last time somebody had shown more concern for him than for his body ?

After all he was a prostitute, what did he expect ?

He was about to try and stand up but the man let go of his arms and held one of his hands out for Chester to take it.

With Mike's help he managed to stand, the world was moving around him, the ground was unsteady to him. He gripped Mike's arm in a reflex, to keep himself from falling.

-Th-thanks. He was so cold and shivering he couldn't talk without stuttering.

Mike removed his own sweatshirt and wrapped it around the thinner body, Chester watched as his large hands was searching through his pocket for keys, mike had the fingers of a piannist. A musicien maybe?

Through his hazy mind he wondered why the man looked like he was trusting him, after all you can't just pick up somebody from the pavement, he could be anybody, in Chester's world anyway. Trust wasn't something he was used to.

--------------------

AAAh, your faith like a pain

Draws me in again

He washes all my wounds for me

With darkness in my veins

I never could explain

And i wonder if you've ever seen

Will you still believe ?

----------------------

Chester tried to take a step but bile rose up in his throat without warnings. He turned around and heaved violently, emptying his stomach.

When he was done Mike handed him a tissue so that he could clean up his mouth.

-Maybe i should take you to the hospital.

-NO, don't i'm fine. Said chester, his voice getting high-pitched.

-As i see...

-Don't. Please.

Chester hadn't see a doctor in ages, he was better not, with all the kind of stuff they would probably find in his system.

-You took drugs right ? Said softly Mike.

Chester looked at him for an instant, he wouldn't tell his life to a stranger now would he?? but this guy had helped him, and strangely he dindn't look like he was judging him.

-Yes. Simply said Chester.

-All right. You can't stay here.

-I'm not living too far.

-Where ?

-...

Chester lowered his eyes, he just couldn't. He lived with his "boss".

The apartment could be comfy if the older man wasn't beating him anytime he just felt like, or sending him to perverts customers's house where he never really knew what was waiting him.

-Is it okay for you if i take you to my apartment ? Asked softly Mike.

-Why would you ? Snaped Chester, harsher than he intended to.

-Let's say i don't fall on such beautiful men collapsed on the floor everyday. Smiled Mike.

Hey, he almost sounded sincere, thought Chester.

The slender man smiled back shyly, unsure of how to react.

-------------------

And all of your ways

All you dream

Falls on me

It falls on me

And your beautiful sky

The light you bring

Falls on me

It falls on me

Am i that strong ?

To carry on

I might change your life

I might save my world

Could you save me ?

uhhhhhahhh

-----------------------

Chester knew he would be in trouble with Dave, his boss, for leaving for the night without warning but anyway he was already in troubles right? after all he was high, Dave didn't allowed him to be high while working unless on the customer's request.

So he slowly nodded, taking in all the consequences that was going to fall on him when he would come back "home".

This man definitely had something special so that he was ready to take such risks. Thought Chester. Dave's anger was the most scary thing he knew, sometimes, he would hit him until he just collapses.

Mike nodded and put an hand on Chester's arms, in case of. Chester took a couple of steps but his legs gave up under him.

Mike caught him quickly and lifted him up off the ground, carying him bridal style.

-Here, it's okay, i'll carry you to the car.

Chester wanted to talk, he wanted to thank him, he wanted to ask where he was living, what was he going to do, what would hapen, he wanted to talk about Dave, tell the way he was scared about his reaction and many things but words wouldn't come, he was so tired.

He felt bad too. He slipped into the darkness again and rested his head on mike's shoulder.

A stranger, but there was something in him that made Chester feel safe in his strong arms.

And all of your ways

All you dream

The light you bring

Falls on me
